  The metaverse was/is the stupidest thing ever. They couldn’t even sell it to the average person. I’m into tech but even I can barely describe what its supposed to be. Is it just VR? VR office work? 🤷

    Fucking ready player one, so yea. VR office work you can go to a mall in with ads.

  I’d love a gang of nerds doing the real metaverse, like Gibson showed us.

    VRchat, the OpenXR format, and custom-built/3d printed VR headsets come to mind.

    Yea but it comes with all the other stuff in Gibsons books

      All that other stuff comes already, but I do not see it create the metaverse.

        Let’s stop giving meta credit. Metaverse is a shit name anyway. Cyberspace is cooler and it’s still not that cool.
