>> “A good vision for the metaverse is not one that a specific company builds, but it has to have the sense of interoperability and portability”, Mr Zuckerberg said, adding that there should be protocols like the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) internet standards for defining how experiences will be built. Except defined by Facebook, so not really anything like W3C.

Are there any facebook products that have "the sense of interoperability and portability"? Seems like most of their properties strive for the opposite...

Yep, but they have enough researchers to figure out that this will not work forever and web3.0 will eat them.

Looking forward to logging in once and drawing as many dicks as possible in zucks metaverse before I'm banned.

This sort of disruption will probably be considered virtual terrorism one day... Imagine the CIA torturing some poor soul over dicks in the zuckerverse.

"Alright folks, the Dickburglar is at it again. Battle stations."

I don't think this college drop-out guy knows what he's talking about.

I loathe Facebook - but trying to say Mark Zuckerberg is an idiot at this point is pretty hilarious. A bachelor's level of academic training is essentially irrelevant by the time you're thirty - a master's by the time you're thirty five. Academic credentials are a very silly thing to get out the rulers over.

Within a decade FB will be the next dying messenger and the world will have moved on.

Things are different this time around, I don't think we can assume that... probably no company has ever had access to so much cheap money combined with the global reach they have.

Yeah but (1) it is not the only one and (2) what you bankrupt Facebook will be a different leverage, not access to cheap money (or access to even cheaper money?)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

With Oculus, IG and FB, they seem pretty close to being the ones to pull it off.

I think having IG and FB is a liability for them. Imo Epic Games is making better choices right now with their acquisitions and marketing strats. Seems more appealing to me.

Those liabilities will bring in millions of people. Epic wished they had those platforms to onramp users.

Can't say enough how much I despise the term 'metaverse', mainly because it can mean pretty much whatever the speaker wants it to mean, and it's usually used to hype with obscurity (i.e. it sounds cool but nobody really knows what it means), as opposed to clarifying with specifics of what something actually does.
