    The “metaverse” certainly has a ton of hype around it right now, but I think it’s actually a pretty good term to describe what will happen when a bunch of interesting technologies start to come together.

    ABOUT JOHN COOGAN:
    I am the co-founder of soylent.com and lucy.co, both of which were funded by Y Combinator (Summer 2012 and Winter 2018).
    I've been an entrepreneur for nearly a decade across multiple companies. I've done a lot of work in silicon valley, so that's mostly what I talk about. I've raised over 10 rounds of venture capital totaling over $100m in total funding.
    I work mostly in tech-enabled consumer packaged goods, meaning I use software to make the best products possible and then deliver them to the widest possible audience. I'm a big fan of machine learning, python programming, and motion graphics.

      In fact, it makes my stomach curdle. What’s the point of real life, with this?
      Feels like the first baby step to Wall-E, where we just exist in suspended animation irl, only really living in the metaverse.
      It’s like if all the humans in the Matrix voluntarily climbed into their goo-tubes.
      It’s like Dwight Schrute’s goofy Second Life obsession.
      *** Fwiw I’m very pro-progress: technology, medicine, society, the arts; progress is good. The Metaverse looks like a weird ass offshoot into an anemic parallel universe i’d rather avoid. Why not just funnel all the efforts being poured into the Multiverse into, instead, working together to make the actual world as mind blowingly stunning and full of adventure as possible?

    This whole system is designed for 3 major reasons:
    1) To steal intellectual property from its users. People using this platform will give up every single thought of their own. Big data will sell it to industries who may benefit from it.
    2) Resource distribution. The more time people spend in virtual reality. The less time they spend consuming resources. Thus, leaving resources to be controlled by a smaller group of consumers and reducing inflation.
    3) Security surveillance. By having people's behavior surveilled through the "metaverse" agencies can more easily purchase specific behavior patterns of potential "security threats".
    The metaverse will use WIFI to transmit, (literally) every breath you take, via technology similar to radar.
    The "metaverse" is in an extremely early phase of development, and will require a lot more addiction and coercion (public "safety") to get everybody to live in their jail cells (In psychology, they call it "Crate Training.)
    Thus the expression: "You will own nothing and be happy."

      I didn't realize I was so popular and that the world revolved around me so much.... I think this is too slippery slope. People are generally aware of that kind of data collection so if it really becomes this thing that dehumanizes us and makes people feel like they live in a jail cell, then people will drop Meta like a rock like they quit social media now.
      The reality is you as an intelligent consumer have to be aware of these things, educate others, and shut down and not support things that go too far. Chances are if they go too far people will take note as they are now.
      I like the idea of having a customizable digital space made from things that aren't really there. you shouldn't be so pessimistic about these things. And it isn't a jail cell anymore than the jail cell that already exists if you want to think of it that way. It will just change forms - from your viewpoint. And VR sounds better than chopping down trees and polluting the environment to make crap you often don't need either way.

    • @sebastianphizone4808
      @sebastianphizone4808 2 года назад +7

      @@evo2542 Good points taken:
      That is where coercion comes in the form of "public safety".
      Big data already sells factors concerning resource consumption and human reproduction. This information is dynamically used to measure real time social behavior in cycles of coercion and addiction.
      When online users become aware of the addictive patterns that state-run businesses push, the algorithms send notifications to governments and special interest groups , at which point they create a catalyst from an array of "public safety" issues (the Catalyst Array for omnipresent guilt of being alive) to push people back into their homes, isolate social interactions and reintroduce addictive meta simulation. Each time this occurs the special interest groups expect a greater addictive dependancy response towards social interaction and reduction of resource consumption, via virtual reality.
      The pattern will repeat itself until nonessentials live in their domiciles as prisons and accept it as normal living standards. All socializing will be monitored through surveillance technologies.
      To stop this from happening, lower income and non essentials must stop reproducing and enjoy their life within the current population. People would still be able to live a meaningful and fulfilling life, just not with kids. It is a sacrifice future generations must make in order to avoid a virtual prison.
      I am not trying to be pessimistic; I am trying to be quite the opposite. I think that all things considered, too many people are on this planet and the special interest groups want their resources.
      Too many people are encroaching on their power. This would normally lead to civil unrest and world wars. But I think virtual reality might be a good way to minimize worse-case scenerios.
      But if we want to avoid virtual prisons all together, stop making babies. I consider myself a non essential and have already sterilized myself. I still enjoy life and balance reality with virtual reality.

Therefore like you said yourself educate people is a good start. Also who is quitting social media? You are out of touch with this reality I clearly see, data easily shows the skyrocket potential the social media age has for the future. The numbers are growing not plummeting.

      The Metaverse isn't going to have that "iPhone moment" until someone makes VR/AR glasses that are near the size and weight of regular sunglasses.
      Not to mention that current VR/AR hardware is till rather expensive and held up in shipping delays that are likely to go on for years. The upgrades necessary are going to be painfully slow.
      And what about growing distrust of big tech? many like this "metaverse" concept", but NOT through Facebook. Others feel similarly about Google, Apple and Amazon. There is a reckoning brewing there that hasn't reared it's ugly head yet.

    Social media has become a cancer on society, more and more people I know are distancing themselves from it because we're increasingly aware that we are biologically incompatible with it.

"Oh hey" I gotta show you this artwork on this wall we just saw.

    This was an instant sub, quality content. I believe the metaverse will be the next step of technology but it will have to be consumer friendly for it to take off. VR sets are quite expensive and need powerful computers to render, and that sort of product will be a niche in the market. I know that in the last 30 years tech advances were unthinkable and that gives me hope but with real crysis like the microchip shortage we recently suffered and the rising prices of rare metals it will be a challenge for sure. Hey, did i already mentioned your content is amazing?

      It's just yet another attempt at popularizing VR that will be doomed to failure.
      People just do not want to strap a box to their face. Maybe you enjoy it, but most are not interested.
      VR based internet or "the metaverse" as we are calling it now, will not have widespread adoption until the goggles are the size and weight or regular sunglasses, and the hardware to support them is much, much more inexpensive and available.
      Also, on top of that we are having serious shortages computer hardware. It's a lot more difficult for people to upgrade their systems for VR. I don't know why Facebook thinks everyone is going to run out and get an Occulus and top shelf video card, when demand has cranked up the prices and it takes 6 months to get it shipped.
      Maybe in another 10-20 years. But not now.
      It's just a marketing stunt to take attention off the bad press Facebook has been getting.

    You're only talking about the most ideal development with the most ideal outcome, which will most likely not happen. These are your points un-hyped:
    1. Local- and server-progress is saved. Like minecraft.
    2. Most is realtime, not recorded. Like minecraft.
    3. Starts by talking about augmented reality, but ends up talking about virtual simulations and enviroments instead.
    4. People can play at the same time. Like minecraft (Only a lot more)
    5. You can sell stuff. Like on ebay
    6. Applications will either be programmed with a shared fundamental structure so they may interchange content (Which sounds incredibly unecessarily troublesome). Or, more applications may collab for shared content.
    7. Devoted users can create custom digital assets. Like skins
    He blows it up a lot bigger than it is by comparing it to big inventions from the past (A common technique). But this can be done with anything and everything. You can draw similarities between tesla and cornflakes, to make cornflakes sound like you just invented flying cars.

Also, they are taking advantage of the increasing VR player base rather than trying to create a player base. I really like this move. Also, as a Minecraft player, I can say my greatest pet peeve is when worlds reset. If the metaverse never resets and has the ability for players to create games/all games are within the metaverse.
