Zuckerberg really wants this metaverse thing to happen. Not metaverse porn, more like vanilla metaverse; but still, metaverse. He won’t stop at anything to shove this metaverse stuff down our throats. Again, he’s shoving the vanilla version (ironically) down our throats.
In yet another move to push metaverse on the masses, Facebook’s parent company, Meta, updated Instagram Stories and Facebook messenger with 3D avatars.
And they’re super creepy. In particular, Zuck’s.
What is happening here?
I’m freaked the F#$ out.
So how does this happen?
Meta, believe this or not, has a General Manager for Avatars and Identity. Like, it is someone’s full time job to make sure we all end up with 3D personas worse than Zuck’s. Because let’s be honest, no one is going to screw the bosses. This Zuckvatar is the best will see, and it’s bad. So how bad do you think our second life bodies will turn out?
The avatar general manager, Aigerim Shorman, discussed a longterm vision.
“Since revealing our long-term vision of the metaverse at Connect 2021, we’ve continued building out this next evolution of social technology, building towards a future where you can sit in the same room as loved ones who are actually thousands of miles away or work naturally with a talented team that spans the globe,” Shorman wrote.
This is making me want to throw away all of my technology. Well, other than knowing that eventually metaverse porn will push Zuck out of the way. Hey, if anything is to ruin us, might be better that it is porn rather than Zuck’s bizarre 3D metaverse avatars.
I mean, when the metaverse was just an opportunity at sex with Keanu Reeves, it was a lot cooler than this. What happened? Zuck happened, that’s what.
