ah yes the #1 company you shouldnt trust with a super computer....for a new generation second life.

Personally hope it fails and only good part that comes of it is making VR more mainstream.

I'm pretty dubious of this whole Meta thing. They're selling "virtual real estate", right?
That whole business model so far seems to be "What if Evergrande was an NFT".

Or maybe more like "what if a MLM was selling an imaginary product".

Either way, it basically seems like the kind of thing where "it's almost certainly illegal to take money for this, but nobody can figure out which law applies".

I mean, surely people will eventually figure out that it's a bad idea to "invest" in an imaginary internet number that can be infinitely copied forever, for free... Right?
Has anyone played that game where you repeatedly type "+1" into a calculator to see how high the number can go? It stops being fun once you realize anybody can just type any number you want into that thing.
You boil meta down far enough and that's all it is, a number in a calculator. They can change the number whenever they want, and eventually they'll turn it all off.

These social media companies all act like abusive boyfriends or cult leaders. They try to break you down and neg you into craving their approval. You're both the worker and the product, and they expect you to pay them for the privilege. All for what? Because they package up the top 0.000001% of their users into influencers and sell them off to their advertisers? Its a harmful fantasy, more damaging than pornography - which we keep away from kids for a reason.

But most importantly, I don't want to be tricked into living my life inside a kid-friendly Facebook ad with bad art design.
I can't even tolerate the idea that the company expects keep complete control over the oculus hardware that they Zucker you into "buying".

Second Life does that.
you pay real $ for digital land/clothes/etc.


Metaverse is zuck's attempt at drawing in the young ppl and the attraction to VR of late.

That is also a problem, but most people at least realized that buying stuff in second life was dumb. I'm not sure, but I don't think many people were being told that buying lingerie in second life was an investment in an assest that would grow in value.

A big difference though, is that (as far as I know), Second Life doesn't have the real names, precise locations, contacts, photos, employment history, DMs, and compete internet history of an actual 4 Billion people.
Meta could blackmail anybody, anywhere, whenever they want. People with power are going to shove this down our throats so hard.
