- So Facebook is now Meta, but the Metaverse is everywhere. What does that actually mean, and what might the history of the Metaverse mean for Facebook/Meta/everyone else?

Never imagined I'd have Gary Oldman teach me so much about the history of the Metaverse. Great content btw
This is exactly like when google became alphabet. Which means nothing has changed.
Alphabet is an umbrella company that contains Google along with other companies. Google continued business as usual.
Facebook did something different - they renamed their entire company and went ALL IN on the metaverse. Skeptics such as myself see this as acknowledgement that they don't see Facebook being relevant in the future. Most people say they hate Facebook. This is Mark's last ditch effort to be relevant again. It's a bet that VR / AR will be the next revolution after smartphones and by God they're going to shove it down our throats.
FINALLY! A social media platform that answers my daily struggle "....uh....where'd I put my coffee?"
Such an interesting topic! Mad that Habitat existed so early on! Fair play to them for making their findings & experiences public for others to learn from.
Brilliantly put together video yet again too, Phil! Keep up the great work!
@@LueRoux You can actually kinda play Habitat too (though it's a little tricky and, honestly, not as fun as it probably was originally). frandallfarmer.github.io/neohabitat-doc/docs//
@@PhilEdwardsInc Oh, wow! Might give this a go at some point. I used Second Life in & around 2008, never expected the concept to exist before that! Can’t believe Second Life is still around!
@@PhilEdwardsInc Could you please post the document from the inventors of Habitat assessing their work?
@@corpo9310 Yes! web.stanford.edu/class/history34q/readings/Virtual_Worlds/LucasfilmHabitat.html
I really enjoyed this! Great production quality and synopsis of the metaverse.
Excellent. "Don't trust anyone." The first encounter I had with meta or cyber or whatever was reading Harlan Ellison's "I have no mouth and I must scream." Teenage boy in the mid eighties and my impression was that the story was already 20 or 30 years old. I've never reread it, but it left a deep impression on me
I THINK THEREFORE I AM.
@@PhilEdwardsInc damn, chills
I stan Harddrive San Jose. 👊
He’s a cold man, but with a CPU of gold.
Wow! You got this out so quickly! Seriously impressed (as always).
This is an incredible video; absolutely in the history category - I appreciate your channel immensely. Thank you.
Just found your channel! Quality content. I didn’t want the video to end. Keep it up!!
Honestly, the thumbnail didn't give it away. But damn, this guy's videos are so good. Another example for "Don't judge a book by its cover".
you really make some quality underrated content. Keep it up!
Great overview, Phil!
Here before 1500 subscribers... You, my friend will break the internet. I really loved your sense of humor, your style and the production... *CHEF'S KISS* Thank you for such a great video.
I love how I predicted this 3 months ago. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR +100K subscribers.
Now here 2 years later, with over 260K followers, congratulations. You deserve all the best.
Haha! Well-done. Every time I started saying to myself, "Yeah, but what about X?", you started talking about X. 👍👍👍
Verrrry interesting, thanks hard drive. I wonder if Zuckerberg even has this much knowledge on where the metaverse came from.
i really want everybody to call me this now
Awesome! I love your Almanac videos on Vox! Keep it up your doing good work!
Great video!
I just found your videos and I really like your content. I think Facebook technologies owning oculus now shows thats exactly what they are aiming for. It won't be long
This video is sooo good ❤️❤️❤️
Great intro into what meta is
Hey great video loved it
I’m sure someone else can find earlier versions, but the first artificial reality story with technological underpinnings I read was Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, by John Varley in 1976. His 7 worlds series has people shuttling their minds between bodies, and one person’s memories have a strange journey. I suppose Harlan Ellison’s I Have No Mouth but I Must Scream Also had people inside a computer simulation.
most interesting vid I've seen on the metaverse by far, it's so important to look back on what's been done before. I hope fb is taking notes..
Pretty fun stuff. I really enjoy this stuff thanks
Neal Stephenson must feel real weird about reality right now. Also, the future killer app for VR, I imagine, will be an avatar system that everyone loves using, that's also interoperable between all game engines and platforms. Oddly enough, Meta is working on this and released a version recently. But is Meta just going to make the MySpace or Friendster of avatar systems? My guess is... yes. Who will be the Facebook of Avatar systems.
Love this.
Great vid
Came from Johnny Harris's channel and found this awesome channel 😍
I read ready player one right after the meta announcement so that made reading it extra funny
Excellent !!!
Thanks man, smoked earlier, watched this, actually got my brain working nicely and I enjoyed it n forwarded
Did you smoke meats earlier?
@@crnkmnkyonly pole smoking here yo...
@@seanharbour1563 👍 Right on. Put some Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce on it next time.
Good video
Thank you for this great video.
And makes me question when it comes to controlling the users in metaverse if some sort of social credit system would help secure a more safe space for everyone in the verse. This can be done by teaming up with governments to do so.
You can see it happening already in China and starting to happen in UK as well.
With how powerful Meta is as a company I can sense the dystopian future they will bring us.
I am all against social credit system but cant help to think that it could certainly be a way for them to approach the safety.
That's really interesting and seems totally plausible.
It's Chris odowd making tech videos
Zuckerberg belongs in a cyberpunk novel, yes. As the evil corporate villain bent on world domination who the plucky underdog hackers must take down.
The "You can't trust anyone." wasn't very well discussed and I feel like might have been misleading. It can be more aptly phrased "Users are unpredictable." But this exists in relation to the fact the purpose of the virtual world is the users must have freedoms within the world. They must be able to create things and do novel things. And therefor this will have unintended outcomes. So there must be a separation between what users can expect to rely on within the world or the so called "infrastructure" of the virtual world.
is facebook’s new last name World Peace... lol
wow i had totally forgotten about the original meta
This video is brave, not often do you see someone refrain from hating zuck
Omg u are awesome
the way our society is heading is scaring the hell out of me
Phil, have you considered a video about foreign investment in Silicon Valley? Zuck is in debt to the oligarchs in Russia, the same is true for other big profile companies. This would help explain many things that are happening to North America and the EU.
Isn't Axie Infinity(famous NFT Game) using the similar symbol/logo to Meta(new name of facebook)?
I kind of just assumed it was a big publicity stunt to sell more Oculus Quest headsets
Do you have a source for the habitat post Mortem? Really interested in reading it and can’t find it.
Yes! Sorry, dunno why I wasn’t putting these in the description: web.stanford.edu/class/history34q/readings/Virtual_Worlds/LucasfilmHabitat.html
@@PhilEdwardsInc Awesome, thanks! I’m a new subscriber making my way through what you’ve made and I’m really loving your style and presentation of what seems like well researched topics you have genuine interest in. I’ll be following you from here on out!
Harddrive San Jose lmao
You're right. You can't trust anyone. ESP FACEBOOK.
You from San Jose????
Virtual Meat Smoking will be amazing.
I love your video but I think its better to showcase sci-fi or just fiction in general that covers the 'metaverse' from a more grounded sense in the reality of AI and technology. Specifically the novel Plowing the Dark by Richard Powers comes to mind. It focuses more heavily on the cultural implications of simulated reality, the corruption of power in 'big tech', along with a lot of other themes outside of the sci-fi element of "fun virtual world". Snow crash is a great anticapitalist fantasy novel and it's fun to show just how much people completely miss the message of it, but there's a lot better fiction out there showing just how ridiculously damaging something like the metaverse would be if it where real and not approached with extreme caution
that’s a good point. thanks for the rec. i’ve only read a couple richard powers books and they had interesting ideas (but kinda bored me a bit, i must admit).
Robots have no reason to smoke meats right?
Cyberpunk dystopia that is our present?
You got some detailed explaining to do.
But maybe you already have.
I am new here and haven't checked out all your past videos.
But if you claim even half jokingly that we live in a dystopia,
then you should add sociological analysis and futurology to your description.
In my defense, the whole pandemic thing adds some weight to a dystopia comment. But I get the utopian side too.
But really a video explaining what that means would be fascinating.
vrchat homies where you at
I thought l told a poopy trap...
Gonna watch this one once I finish smoking my meats
It sounds stupid af when ppl refer it as Metaverse. To me it’s like Apple, Foot Locker, & Champion stans. So it’s just a term for virtual reality?
Lol, Ready Player One is NOT cyberpunk, not even close.
It's M.A.A.A.M Microsoft.Alphabet.Amazon.Apple.Meta did they plan this. Before it was G.A.F.A.M
Welcome to the metaWORSE
You rock!
Bazinga!
Title and thumbnail on this episode are not good, hence the low views. Shame you were complacent on this one element.
Well, it was right when the Meta namechange happened. Got any good ideas for a replacement?
your videos on Vox were always my favorite so im glad i found your channel, great video as always!
