The turning point is that people think the metaverse wasn't going to happen but then they saw the last podcast with Lex and Zuck and then they knew.
Companies are working on things you cannot see yet, so if you want to catch up you need to work on things that they cannot even see yet.
Same goes if you dislike the surveillance era and think this will turn into a dystopian world. Then you must find a solution that no one else sees yet, before they go to market.
No one can argue against better solutions. They just work. You need to beat frictionless design.
- croes 3y agoIs there already a use case for that metaverse or is it 2nd life 2.0?
- jessenaser 3y agoZuck's plan is to make it a personal computing device for the next generation. Woz/Jobs --> Personal Computer Gates --> Business Computer Jobs --> Pocket Computer Zuck --> Visible Computer
- ska 3y agoPeople have been working on basically this "Visible Computer" concept for a few decades now, with pretty marginal results. What makes you think a) the time is right now from a a hardware point of view and b) Meta is the one to make it happen. Neither of those things are obviously true, right?
- jessenaser 3y agoRight. Meta, Apple, any existing company might not even be the one to make that happen. It’s just Zuck’s goal, but I don’t know who will do it. However, if it is technologically possible, someone will build it, and it will probably be the future platform of computing. If you don’t want Meta or Apple to lock down that future ecosystem then I am saying you should build an alternative future before they get there.
- Gud 3y agoWhy would I want to wear a computer on my face? Seems really awkward.
- hu3 3y agoApple seems to think otherwise.
