metaverse

• I hope it is more than [[the facebook thing]], like I hope [[nfts]] are more than silly antics.

• Any virutal environment
• [[webaverse]]
• [[immers space]]
• [[gather town]]
• [[mozilla hubs]]
• [[MeetinVR]]
• [[vrchat]]
• [[altvrspace]]
• [[rec room]]

The distinguishing feature of the metaverse will be persistence and interoperability of user-created components. — Tim Sweeney (Epic Games)

Metaverse

• The Metaverse Has Always Been a Dystopian Idea
• The Metaverse Is Bad

Thus, to get people into the metaverse — a digital environment where we visit virtual worlds, interact with other people’s avatars, and (most importantly) spend money on digital goods — “it must be made more appealing than reality.” That’s done by making the real world worse, or convincing people it’s far better to be someone else.

– Jeff Bezos is THE UNION-BUSTER

Technically, land is more productive, because you can grow stuff on it. And hunt game etc.

But yeah, the people moving into NFTs in "metaverses" today are basically hoping that they’ll become the new landlord class of a neofeudal future.

  • maybe the [[metaverse]] and [[mycoverse]] merge?
• [[2022-05-19 14:09:49]] [[@charismatic_shell:matrix.org]] (link):
  • It might so be that [[mycoverse]] is a [[metaverse]]. I doubt it, but it might happen
