The current TechBro fetish, just like the Metaverse was, and the NFTs, and the Crypto.
When the bubble burst, which will be the next TechBro fetish?
Quantum computing. It would have already been but it still has a very nerdy, no real-world application vibe.
Well the real world application is breaking nearly all existing encryption.
Criminals and spies are going to have a field day once it becomes practical.
The new asymmetric quantum safe algos are coming though.
With classic cryptography being broken that also opens the need for quantum cryptography and commnications. China is a bit farther ahead of us on this launching their first satellite encorporating these concepts in 2020:
“The nation’s Micius satellite successfully established an ultrasecure link between two ground stations separated by more than 1,000 kilometers” source
China is launching a second newer generation satellite next year. source
Hopefully suicide 🤞🤞
My boss wasn’t forcing me to use the metaverse to produce uninspired, low effort garbage to rip off my clients. You didn’t have loser “metaverse artists” fannying about everywhere. Bring back the metaverse talk, as dumb as it was, please!
I don’t remember people talking about the metaverse except for mocking the legless mii inspired avatars.
There were a lot of ads pretending to be articles.
I preferred metaverse talk. All of it was obviously useless nonsense that would never go anywhere. It could be safely ignored and laughed at. Simple times.
In contrast, not ALL of AI is useless nonsense. It takes more brain power to think about.
We can have AI control our metaverse avatars so we can ignore them both.
I don’t know, I am both interested in AI and metaverse (and AR/VR in general), it’s just I don’t care what greedy corporations do with them.
Ah, i miss metaverse-shilling posts on LinkedIn, praising the visionary, prophet, mastermind Zuckerberg, telling me I will have to attend meetings in VR set
please like and share
The meta verse was kinda fun to talk about, though. Because it was a train wreck.
VRChat is still slowly growing in the background.
The metaverse that was the hype you despise isn’t the metaverse people in VRChat want. Mark really destroyed the term.
