Yeah that’s a cool film, but still not convinced it’s the way to go for everything. I like social interaction, but on a personal level - like tonight just popping down the pub with my wife, watching a band (they had a harp player, it was better than I expected lol), chatting with random people, listening to the drunk guy chat shit about politics, etc, etc.
Having zuck in charge of a future where we are all online and everything is curated is fucking scary to me tbh mate. The way they have handled their current tech with a complete disregard for any sort of morals doesn’t fill me with confidence they would manage a meta verse any better. Yeah they might get some other rich fucks like Sweeney on board so it isn’t a monopoly, but again not feeling that at all lol. It will be a curated advertising shitpit where they are metric tracking everything.
I’m sure this will happen and the masses will lap it up, but I’m old school and like talking to people in person, not avatars (I’m that dick that actually still calls people instead of texting). But then I deleted all my social media accounts two years ago and haven’t looked back so this probably isn’t for me anyway, which is fine
