No defense of meta, but this doesn’t seem like a contradiction. If they thought the metaverse was done and ready to use for work, they wouldn’t need to invest in building it. Seems a bit like wondering why the construction management team doesn’t just use the office building they’re constructing rather than a trailer.
- tyingq 4y agoI was assuming the metaverse was an extension/improvement on doing things remotely, rather than a pre-requisite for it to work at all. Meaning you would have to believe remote is a solid concept to start with. And, there's the obvious contradiction that working remote seems fine for a lot of the senior leadership.
