> The metaverse isn’t working yet because it’s putting technological design before function. I think a little of this is inevitable. You have to date the cruel mistress of physics a little to discern the bounds of what’s realistic before you can really get into function. But more alarming/concerning to me is that we’ve become entrapped in a perverse local optimum in funding these efforts. Too often of late it turns into putting some form of surveillance economy over function, prematurely stifling the cycles needed to iterate on function.
