    I think metaverse is already here, it's just that we need to stitch it together.

    It's less about a VR / AR / silly avatar experience, more linking all your online activity into one identity, one 'verse'.

    Eg, typical day: check your iPhone in morning, emails, message, qbn, news, stocks/crypto. Work -login into work systems, chat areas, scheduling. Get home and it's netflix, call of duty, instagram, porn.

    At the moment those are all separate websites, unique logins and identities. What if the www web was more of a curated room/space, and you access it with one identity. That's sounding more like a metaverse.

    And then it seems the ideal is to lift all of that experience off from rectangle screens, and get it more into the lived environment, via some glasses, ar + vr.

    And instead of multiple logins and passwords, it'd be more like crypto, a wallet of identities, unique to you, like a set of nfts.

    • The shining in light of hope though is web3, decentralised and autonomous communities.shapesalad
    • How does 'decentralized' make a positive difference if it's all still manipulated/controll... by the same methods (ie bitcoin)?formed
    • This all looks like Facebook's perfect wet dream - control identities, control currency, etc. It makes even more sense (for them).formed
    • Personally, I don't really get 'decentralized' when it's still built/controlled by a few large/powerful players. Maybe that's just me.formed
    • Yeah, I'd expect more than a little resistance to Meta being the overarching corporation over... the entire internet?jagara
    • @shapesalad thanks btw :)jagara
