The Metaverse doesn't seem delusional to me, it just seems like a massive gamble. I can easily envision a future where they've cornered the market on VR. Where to play the latest Call of Duty you need to do it through the Metaverse Portal, and you have access to NFT skins that you either bought or unlocked as achievement from other games.
I hope that future doesn't happen, or that if it does its through a decentralized protocol and not owned by Meta. But if the Metaverse implodes I'd still consider it a failed gamble than delusional bullshit.
I can't defend Musk the same way.
- stephc_int13 4y agoWhat is looking delusional is the way Meta/Zuck is handling it. They do not have to raise money to build the tech, so they don't even have to advertise anything until they have something really worthy to show and sell. So why are they showing something that is clearly not ready? Either they think that discourse can translate into reality if enough people believe in it (magical thinking), or they think they already have a product. In both case this is delusional.
- Firmwarrior 4y agoMy guess is they know that someone else has something vastly superior in the works, and Zuck is trying to muddy the waters and make Facebook synonymous with VR before they can come in and take over. Then Facebook will be able to take a strong #2 position
