Thinking about the #visionpro, it occurred to me to look back at #SnowCrash, the novel where Neal Stephenson created what we now all think of as the #metaverse. Stephenson’s term for the character who wears a VisonPro-like device is “gargoyle”. His description of them is brutal including this: ““marking the user as belonging to a class that is at once above and far below human society.”
Mark me curious, but extremely cautious.

@davemark I have to agree with Zuck on this one, they have totally different approaches, and even the terms they use to describe what is essentially the same concept of #XR: Meta uses the term #Metaverse because they want it to be an interconnected space where users can get together and play/interact.
Apple uses the term #SpatialComputing as their focus so far is expand your computer use cases to a 3D interactive space - indicating that they see the platform as a next-gen computing experience.

Das #Metaverse war gestern? Heute ist die Zeit gekommen, das Ganze neu zu betrachten und die echten Potenziale zu entfesseln. Die Ressourceneffizienz rückt dabei in den Mittelpunkt. Ben Brake hat auf der @republica dazu mit Interessierten diskutiert.

#Apple#Event prediction.
Super high resolution, seamless UIX with slick 3D graphics have already beta tested on iPhone for years. #Apple #XR tech will not be restricted to #headsets. It will be also everywhere your phone is.
Mark my words. This is how #Apple will introduce their next big product category. AR has evolved to XR - Extreme Reality.
#Metaverse with goggles is a 1990s concept (Disney Quest anyone?)
#ExtremeReality makes sense when the world is already populated with iPhones.

Neal Stephenson, whose 1992 novel Snow Crash brought the term metaverse to the world, is optimistic about XR thanks to better tooling. But even with Apple getting involved, it's a hard sell.

"Human being" --
1. Distributed DNA-based compute that operates an avatar.
2. Increasingly unpopular class or race that avatars may choose to represent themselves as.
3. Sustenance for "Zuck's basilisk".
This Communiqué from the G7 governments is worth a read, because beyond all the geopolitical aspects, they do get into “Digital” down around paragraphs 38 and 39… and in there they touch on #AI, #metaverse, #InternetAccess, #InternetFragmentation, and so much more…
Granted, this is all just words… yet to be seen as to what actually happens… but they ARE words from the leaders of 7 major nations!

The media is pronouncing the death of the #Metaverse.
I don't think it is dead. Anyone who's ever played an open world RPG with a VR headset can tell you that it's very alive.
But Meta's idea that we'd all be plugging into VR to do virtual meetings? I don't see that happening for a long, long time.
That's not to say it's "dead" -- just not feasible for now.

I'm sorry, Guardian, but the #Metaverse was never #Meta's to own -- even with the corporate name change.
And I also hate to break it to you, but they haven't stopped working on their version of the Metaverse. In fact, they just released a dodgy-but-glowing report about the Metaverse's alleged growth opportunities.

Our tech space pundits get near rabid with new shiny things but after these things settle the actual outcomes are far less or the tech is even gone. Examples since the 90s
Java will kill Microsoft - nope
All things will use XML- nope
Peer 2 peer will kill client server - nope
No browsers after IE - nope, Chrome
Google wave kills email - nope
Clubhouse is next social giant - nope
So thread in more with my
starter tags #Bluesky #LLMs #ChatGPT4 #Metaverse NFTs, crypto, & many more
Just when you think #Meta is moving away from the #Metaverse, no, they are not.
Meta claims that the Metaverse will contribute $45.3B to Canada's annual GDP by 2035.
Meanwhile, the Metaverse is costing Meta $13B a year to develop.
For good reason, they're flogging the Metaverse -- Meta is sinking lots of costs into it, and it will be horrible for them if the Metaverse doesn't pan out.
Meanwhile, the Fediverse has been developed at a fraction of the cost -- and it's already overtaken the Metaverse in terms of end user adoption.

You can find pretty distinct parallels between #ExpertSystems claims and discussions in the 1980s and the current generative #AI (and the #AGI, of course) claims today.
You can also find parallels between the discussion of virtual reality in the early 1990s and FB's ideas over the last few years around the #metaverse.
You don't need to have looked into too many of these cycles to become disillusioned with the entire idea of tech and tech-adjacent people predicting technology trends.

@tanepiper gigantic, fascinating article arguing that #zuckerberg championed the #metaverse to pump up #Meta 's shareprice and should be sacked, only he can't be, #capitalism at its worst.

@rysiek @TechDesk @intelwire
#Facebook + #AI = #dystopia and #psyops at a new level. Perhaps the #metaverse adventure was just a smoke screen or distraction from what they have been working on all along. There has never been a more urgent time for Facebookers to poison their data and orchestrate escape.
🆕 blog! “Let's (not) share our VR headsets”
It is hard to get people excited about VR. Even at its best, it is an isolating experience - that's why Zuck is pushing the social features of The Metaverse so hard. But, worse still, it's hard to show people what the VR experience is like. If your friend buys a 4K laser projector, you […]

sure but it's not all or nothing, the #metaverse is already big enough to be self-sustaining
I think that people currently singing the #ArtificialIntelligence / #ChatGPT / #whatever song need to look at what happened to the people (many of them the same as now!) who sang the #Metaverse song only a couple of years past.
The Metaverse has become the Meh-taverse with most companies that were "all-in" now running all-out.
