A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

hahaha well, howd ya not see that coming
Zero chance this company replaced him with an AI that actually does anything useful.
It's kind of by definition. They're working on the metaverse.
That fact alone makes me question his judgement and therefore critical thinking skills.
The entire industry collapsed, but he worked on https://framevr.io/ which was exactly the type of software that people flocked to during COVID. After people were able to go home again, many of these companies tried to pivot to the metaverse in hopes of jot throwing out their product entirely, unsuccessfully it seems.
Conceptually, it's not terrible. The product isn't as much of scam as you might think it is based on the metaverse tag.
i dont know of a single person, technical or non-technical that thought the metaverse would ever account for anything whatsoever. it was always a non-starter. a dead end. it is ridiculous just on premise, let alone any serious valuation.
The premise is ridiculous to cool people, not business majors, but they're the ones who control the money.
