"Color Star Technology Co Ltd" I mean really.

I think the word I'm looking for is gimps

did this guy share this thinking it was cool?

It looks exactly like Second Life that launched in 2003

you should see the character creation screen in the "color star technology co ltd" metaverse app

Yeah I think this area is perhaps where the frothiness is best exhibited. Middle aged venture capitalists investing millions or tens of millions of dollars into projects that generalize into a promising technology, but in particular don't amount to anything especially interesting or paradigm-shifting.

Sandbox/Decentraland/etc are first-movers in the blockchain metaverse, in a way that I don't think confers the major advantage. And they aren't even nearly the first movers in terms of virtual reality games / MMOs, just first insofar as these games are built on blockchains.

I personally don't get the sense that killer metaverse app (be it a game or something between game and work) has been conceived yet.

you know that all is lost as soon as "killer app" is mentioned,
any technology is defunct/useless when it gets to that level of desperation
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_application no killer app has occurred since 2005 and that was ruby on rails 🤣

Analysis: A metaverse with Chinese characteristics is a clean and compliant metaverse

How will China's metaverse evolve? Look to the letter "c". Clean, censored, compliant and crypto-less is the view from experts.

The metafuture of dogging!

The metafuture of dogging!

One of the many dimensions the metaverse promises to open up for dogging enthusiasts is the full range of otherwise infeasibly expensive automobiles.

Yeah web3's distinctions are mainly under the hood, but on the surface the big distinctions will be about verifiable ownership of digital assets, which isn't an established feature of web2, aside from maybe some fringe cases.

Well really the big feature is decentralized databases, but as far as most internet users are concerned thats an invisible feature.

J.P. Morgan has a lounge in decentraland

 

[woops]

Many of us have only dreamed of owning an 8-bit apartment, but now these dreams can become reality.

web3.0 is just another crypto grift isnt it, ultimately serving to rationalise the absurd valuations needed in order for those currently invested to exit with a profit

 

[Clinamenic]

Crypto is the loudest aspect of web3, but most of the really innovative stuff will likely prove to be less appealing in mainstream terms. It's just a new way of thinking about databases, and it can't be overemphasized how much of a frontier it is, i.e. it hasn't been thoroughly charted yet.

 

[Clinamenic]

Web 3.0 is just the internet stack, with distributed database protocols like blockchain added to it.
