Unless you can show it's value and worth as a system (beyond being a shittier way of doing things) NOW, there is no reason to even consider "oh the representation will clean up later" or "NFTs will be in the background" because that does very little right now.

So I leave the place, go home, ignore my family, boot up my headset. Probably spend a few hours in the verse cause Amazon will probably just make a gigantic factory so it’ll take a while to find the item. It’ll probably littered with Amazon video and music ads. Once I find it cheaper I then take that item to my canon printer metaverse where after another few hours I can print a physical copy. I drive back to the store and I price match my item. Then I realize I’m not sure if I have enough money in my bank account so I have to do this whole thing over again to check my balance with chase and their metaverse. The future looks so awesome.

tbf, when it comes to getting money from a customer, they do everything they can to make that experience fast and easy. There's no way you would need to do anything but use your AI-based visual camera to ID a product (or scan a QR code), and then hit the buy button and the item gets to your door in 2-5 days. It's when you go off the norm and try to find something obscure and not part of your usual algorithm while using preferred third party channels is what you are referencing. Point of sale systems are deliberately nightmarish to work with in that context. The convenience you are referencing doesn't work like that and never will. Because the experience I described isn't about some future system, you can literally do that, right now, at any store. That's a system light years more advanced than the system you have described. The future would be using AR/XR devices that will scan an item you are looking at using eye-tracking, then depending on your heart rate, the item gets added to a wishlist or instantly bought. Better yet, for extra dystopian-vibes, you can only buy an item with specific social credit scores. Not enough social credit, and you won't be able to buy from a brand that you gave a low rating or you publicly bad-mouthed them on social media. China has a similar system right now but only for government and public use. Seeing a similar system get applied to retail would be a total nightmare That's a scary future to live in. Luckily, it's not entirely inevitable for all of us.

You don't need to be addicted in Internet to choose just play a game with friends using VR or talk with a stranger in a virtual city, or even study in a social virtual group, it's fun and it won't be bad especially if you know how to use it properly and not get addicted. It will helps a lot more than you think, it's just about self control. Of course you still should have social life, don't expect a world where everyone is connected, addicted in VR. People have brain (even smaller ones). They have to work, to meet friends, to date someone, to live real life, rhey simply can't live their entire lifes in a world which doesn't exist (I mean youngers, like underages could, because they still doesn't have a much complex life). VR will be just one more amusement to people who wants to have a more immersive experience on things, and there's any problem on it, it's actually a good thing.

I personally haven’t tried VR, but I have been told it does a decent job of fulfilling the social need to interact with someone who is embodied in space, so I think they are hoping people will latch onto it as a substitute for physical social interaction because everyone is pretty alienated by the inadequacy of video calls which people have been forced to use the last few years. Personally I hope it flops so that there are fewer excuses for people to prolong the ‘new normal’ indefinitely.

That's nonsense. Cause a virtual (with avatars, not filmed in 3D-VR!) concert doesn't make the experience better than the music played at your home entertainment. And a concert filmed in 3D-VR and seen with VR will also scare a person who is scared from huge crowds. And why do you want to lock disabled people in their flat? Didn't we just try nowadays to include disabled people into our real live?

I don’t want to be sold an abstraction of socialization that I could more easily get for free on the “old” internet. All that money and for what? The same old stuff we’ve already had being sold to us at a higher price and more exclusive and even less tangible. I don’t want a new internet, I want affordable housing, affordable education, I want a community that is happy and healthy and doesn’t hide from itself chasing the idea of happiness behind a headset, I want to live.

The only "afterparty" was I've ever been too was mostly just people getting high or taking forever in the process of organizing who's riding home with who, and that involved me guarding the door to the bathroom while a guy I met that same day lost his virginity inside. And I also helped solve the mystery of the night's poop bandit and almost wound up frotting a stranger within a span of like 5 minutes. Not sure what a normal afterparty is like but my personal experience leaves me seriously lacking in any faith a VR experience could replicate it. Which is kinda the whole point. VR stuff like this will never be able to replicate what it's trying to replace. The chaos of humanity cannot be properly expressed when it's so limited. I dont hate VR as concept, it's very cool and I'd love to try it, but trying to use it to monopolize human interaction is a nightmare world

@saltshaker47392 жыл бұрын
As a sci-fi nerd and someone interested in VR and the future of it, it's good to see almost all of the VR community reject Facebook's metaverse. I've seen the term "Nexus" thrown around as a community-built version of what Facebook claims to be making. Also the term "metaverse" comes from a dystopian cyberpunk novel called Snow Crash, so they're literally spelling that one out for us.

This is a minor criticism compared to Eddy's complete beat down of Meta, but I hate the Rayman-esque avatars in horizon worlds. They look like Mii's and Xbox live avatars rolled into one making it so bland and safe. Eddy brought up VRchat which has a plethora of styles for your character and seeing something like Sora, Kermit the frog, and Hank Hill inside a night club is so much more interesting and funny to see. Not only that but you can see the full characters! Having a 5 year old game looking and playing better than a billion dollar company's "new" product is laughable and I'm glad people are laughing at it.

When Metaverse was presented all I could think is "This just looks like shitty VR Chat" and that is exactly what it is. Here is why Facebook wont succeed. This type of technology only appeals to the younger generations or those who enjoy this type of technology. Those who enjoy this technology probably already know that Facebook is one of the worst platforms for privacy and is run by a bunch of money hungry individuals. For that reason alone no one will buy into this metaverse shit. Why give Facebook anymore of your information when you can experience the same thing in VR Chat.

I agree, my fear is that this is going to be sold to businesses as a new “zoom” type of tool to connect people and be able to deliver services remotely but in a more “immersive” and “controlled” environment, and that it makes businesses so dependent on it that everyone will need services/technology that integrate with “the Metaverse” to be successful. Then everyone will be dependent on it in a similar way as to how we are dependent on smartphones now.

11:47 You nailed it here. VR is like a worse version of what we already have. It's useful for gaming and engineering but in real life, it's just nahh. I get why people might want it though, it's just bonkers that all of those smart entrepreneurs in the Bay Area have not discovered how to build a nice city yet, all of them cramming into SF or making do with a bungalow in the suburbs. Instead, it would be more useful to repeal most of our zoning codes and planning restrictions so we can be free to build pleasant, walkable cities and have these "VR experiences" IRL.

It gets even scummier when you realize how NFTs actually work and buying an "NFT hoodie" doesn't mean you actually bought the hoodie. You bought the rights to claim that you own a line of text that the hoodie is only associated with (not attached to). Buying an "NFT hoodie" in VR means that at any second, Meta can either change or delete the hoodie whenever they want because technically you did not buy it. What you bought was a line of code and the hoodie is used to "represent" that code.

facebook changed its api backend coding several times since they started. A lot of in game apps got wiped when the creators couldn't afford to keep patching them.

Its ironic that while they keep emphasising the positives of the metaverse, so much of our pop-culture tells us falling for the trap of living in a virtual world is wrong and dangerous and exploitative. They couldn't have chosen a worser brand to invest in because it already carries risky cultural connotations, even more so as we all grow sick of Zoom and online communication. But in terms of the virtual world, almost everyone knows what the Matrix is, let alone other sci-fi stories in either something like Black Mirror or Love, Death Robots and all the older sci-fi literature too that keeps reminding us: don't fall for the promise of a virtual world. And with the memes of VRChat and how VR is still not that much more immersive than it was 10 years ago, none of us are taking this Metaverse very seriously, and rightly so.

One thing I have never understood from the beginning of this metaverse concept is how Meta is expecting stores to exist and sell clothes online. Not just NFTs, but like modeled clothes that you can "try on" before buying it. Like a previous commenter said, it would be impossible to have all those items modeled. 3D modeling isn't easy. Most stores (especially local and not corporate stores) cannot and will not hire someone to model everything just for a few people to see. I am really convinced that the Metaverse is just a scam and a crappy VR game.
