    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 the last 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 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.

      If you were around for secondlife in 2004-2006 or so, you would know we had more then than we have now, still. The only difference is the hardware limited simultaneous people per zone (60), but crossing zones was seemless. There was no VR. There was a full economy. USD to in game currency and back out. people made millions selling virtual crap. I knew someone that did this with virtual land. YOu could script anything, make games inside the game, and it was not limited like minecraft's blocks. You could twist primitives into meshes of any shapes. Avatars looked better than the ones on VR chat. We missed an opportunity. The company linden labs, the CEO was kind of a dolt. I spoke to him a few times. He didn't understand what he had. If SL didn't become a joke because of bad management, the developers were doing miracles for the time period. SL came out right before the explosion of load balancing cloud systems. They were doing it themselves.

Its really as simple as having the ability to drink, eat, and see another screen while playing that will forever plague the adoption rates of VR, which we have seen as it has been about 30x as slow as that predicted by FB/Oculus.

      If you think of Ready Player One, the appeal is being something else for a few hours. That does happen with games, but the main character is you now, more than ever. If they figure out VR properly we will have completely immersing worlds in a matter of decades. I have hundreds of games and am just bored when I scroll through my library, even with the many that I haven't even touched. It's too separate from me. I'm at a point where I want to BE those things. I think that idea will be appealing to many. Doesn't make it right or wrong, just a possibility that is perhaps more enticing than another. Why is D&D more appealing than a video game? Even the ones without any visuals? To many It's because of the immersion.

      The data in games are generated by the game, a server, other players, etc. Nothing new. Even Mixed Reality on Windows allows you to plug in 'smart' meters, televisions and other home appliances, so the television decodes the signal from your provider and feeds the screen output to your computer. Again, nothing new. In business, VR is used to design, develop, build your own workstation just the way you like it without it requiring it buying new furniture or being limited by building size, greatly increasing the production value per person. Again, nothing new (and not something you might want to plug into a metaverse, especially if it's also connected to your actual production machinery or finances). What is new is the implementation of these 3 into 1 virtual environment, both off- and online. The principal has been explored for decades in games (within games within games), movies, books, developer showcases, etc. It's just the implementation that is beginning to take shape, but it is still a LOOOONG way off before we get to that point where most people work with VR, AR or similar / combined technology. Just think about, during the CoVID pandemic, how many businesses allow and implement working from home. That alone already is a huge issue, talking to others with a webcam that not everybody has, through a microphone that not everybody has, over a stable internet connection that not everybody has (especially the US, or so I hear 😁). This is not going to happen anytime soon 😉

    What I find amazing is we are living in the most innovative time in human existence, people over 35-40 can remember having o cell phones, no internet, and then dial-up when it came out where you were limited to how long you could be online each day! Set TV schedules, video cassettes and having to go to cinema or video store to see a film you wanted instead of immediate availability, driverless cars, digital cameras instead of having to send photos away to be developed, etc etc and yet so many seem to still be skeptical about this Metaverse.
    One point I'd make is that it's not M'soft vs F'book, it's M'soft AND F'book, and many other companies all working on the same idea.
    Think of other industries online like social media sites, games makers, game console makers, cell phone makers, PC makers, operating systems. It's almost never one company owning all the pie so if you think of it that way, it's pretty risky betting against the Meaverse.

      Exactly, I keep telling people that barely anyone solely plays one game for long periods. They move from game to game, so if there are constantly games that allow you to play to earn then they will skip to the next best thing. Play to earn is the only reason people may stay in a game when they dont want to really play it but it pays, however if a new one turns up that is better but pays slightly less they will go where the fun is. Also people have been talking about "life like" graphics for years and we still arent anywhere close to real life. For what reason sitting with a VR headset on for long periods is an awful experience. I had a PSVR and after the intial fun I had which lasted for only about half a day, I couldnt play it because the combination of unclear graphics and motion which isnt normal for the mind to experience made me not want to play it. I think we are a at least 20 years away from really life like graphics but I may be wrong. Ever new gaming upgrade is better but its just slightly better compared to what came before, there is never a massive jump in graphics.

      MS has a lot of software presence. Meta said they would support domain servers, but MS certainly has more experience in this area and is in a better position to ensure better integration and that is less work for IT who makes recommendations.
      Remote employees are not going to be clambering for virtual meetings that they would rather be emails. However management wants to manage and VR can help. The employee wants higher freedom, higher pay and lower workloads, but management wants the opposite, and they make the decisions. It's a lot easier to manage when you can go into a person's space. Email tag and zoom is like cat wrangling.
      We will see who offers the better value proposition for remote management, remote team building, and ecosystem. The last one favors MS big time. I do hear that there is indecisiveness at MS on basic things like will they be putting out the hardware or just the software.

Or window shopping a digital mall where you can “filter” which stores you actually care about or teleporting to the store you’re actually interested in.

      If anything Metaverse is only further damaging any chance of VR becoming more than what it is, which honestly there wasnt much of a chance to begin with, when AR or Augmented Reality is a much more enticing opportunity that has been slowly growing over the last decade, and is already in the hands of every single individual who happens to have a phone.

      VR allows applications that are currently unthinkable.
      For example you could have your chinese-learning study group in a virtual bar, where you interact directly with other learners.
      An AI teacher could teach you how to fly a Lockheed Martin F-35, without any risk of damaging a real plane, but with enough realizm that you could actually fly that plane in real life.
      There could be VR hookup portals, VR prostitution, VR dating, VR porn, VR AI-Sex portals where you'd have near-real virtual sex.
      You could learn to drive a car in VR space.
      You could have sessions with a doctor or psychiatrist online.
      You could have 3d-design-applications, where you really interact with the thing you're building.
      You could do all your studies in VR, providing you all the "physical" tools you need. Need a Raspberry PI? a 3d Printer? a CNC machine? a laser? That all can be simulated in VR.
      You could (learn to) do art in VR, without needing any material whatsoever.
      Now a metaverse is not really required for all these applications, more advanced VR is enough for that.
      But facebook wants your data, and if VR applications can be built very easily on facebooks metaverse, other companies might decide to build their VR applications for that platform, which will result in more data for facebook, but also better and cheaper VR applications from other companies.

These sorts of dynamics are best suited for MS to hit. You develop the architecture and middleware integration while building out for Corporate use whose use cases and throughput should scale very linearly and not cause too many development challenges. You then scale up the deployments and bring in your game developers to reskin and flex the platform's muscles in the entertainment space. Core Process capture, Network Latency improvements, and HW Virtualization will enable more secure and more direct connection between your peripherals and the platform's systems and/or allow a PC or Consoles to have a more direct link with the backend than current launcher client style connections.

Being a part of a small tribe is an experience, but so is being a part of a global mass. And nothing sort of a global nuclear Armageddon will make tribe based operations the norm again.
      Sure, most of the time people end up filling each moment with stimulus that doesn't further the being itself to any meaningful direction. But it doesn't mean it always has to be that way. But it doesn't mean treading backwards is the way as well.

VR isn't just a screen or an app it has WH&S considerations, significant hardware requirements, incompatibility with bespoke applications, and potentially a large amount of training and process redesign to implement.
      Creating value is a low bar.
