John Carmack, a key architect of Facebook’s metaverse, is pretty bearish on its prospects

You can hear him talk about it here...actually an interesting discussion of some of the technical challenges faced in VR.

Well, it successfully shifted the attention away from the whistle blower findings.

This guy has written a series of articles about what "the Metaverse" is supposed to be.
https://www.matthewball.vc/the-m…
Once you starting reading about it, it becomes clear this is more a PR stunt on Facebook's part than anything else. Metaverse is supposed to be a live, synchronous virtual world that is built on top of common standards, so that you can move seamlessly from one game or community to another.
Not only does that not exist, Facebook doesn't seem to have a clear plan for it. It's also unclear why you would need everything unified into a single live system in this way -- it sounds incredibly resource intensive for no reason.
