    It doesn’t matter now. All those idiots who wrote books about how good the mataverse was, how it was going to change our lives, how we will be able to talk to costumer support in a virtual office from our house… all those people who wrote about it did the leap to talk about AI and now are writing about how good AI is… goshhhh

    The Metaverse cycle:

    10 Some article remind me it exist;

    20 I shrug and continue not to care about the Metaverse;

    30 I forget about the existance of the Metaverse;

    40 Some amount of time passes;

    50 GOTO 10.

    We have had Meta headsets for a couple years. Still don’t know what the “metaverse” is. The headsets are fun, though.

    They could have cured homelessness 4x over. But instead we got crappy little Zuck-like avatars and an ecosystem nobody ever asked for or wanted.

    Fuck this world man.

    Not only was the entire project thing a completely repulsive, uncanny mess, but also they could’ve just bought roblox for half that amount which is effectively the closest thing to a “metaverse” but ig zuck ego wouldn’t allow that

    Hilarious that this company is now named after a failed product. It would be like if Ford changed it’s name to Pinto.
