Meta has barely any spin on what they are trying to accomplish with the metaverse. It's out in the open that they want to create an all-encompassing privacy-destroying monopoly (sorry, platform) to suit their revenue and profit needs. Either Zuckerberg is so out of touch that he actually believes people have the same goals as Meta (possibly, considering how comically bad Meta's presentation was) or he doesn't care. They obviously see themselves as being the ones running the metaverse in Snow Crash, so I guess from their perspective it's a great time.
How many brilliant minds signed off on that metaverse presentation I wonder. I'm still shocked. That's a lot of either coercion or people that enjoy smelling their own farts. They spent billions on it. Did I mention I'm still shocked? Shocked! None of it makes sense.
- JohnFen 4y agoThe only thing I can think of that makes any sense to me is that people like us found the technology itself presented in the book extremely compelling and wanted to have it. So much so that the purposes the technologies were put to in the book, and the social ramifications, were ignored and forgotten.
