I love the metaverse idea. I really do. It’s been a dream of mine since I was a kid. Sadly, there’s too many people living their in their own alternate reality right now in the ‘real’ world. We need to clean up poverty, hunger, and post-truth misinformation first. Clean up the real, then focus on the digital.

If you just drop the NFT and blockchain part, the idea of this augmented-reality metaverse has some real appeal. The prospects are great for games. For work. For just everyday conveniences – maybe the future might even have augmented reality glasses that don’t make you look like a cut-rate borg drone. I could go for interactive signage and maps, sure. But, no… you just have to go and ruin it by dragging in the most crass form of commercialism.
Yes, any ‘metaverse’ platform needs money. Storage and processing power are dirt cheap, but they aren’t quite free. Some concession to commercial reality must be made – be it a subscription fee, or some advertising. I’d even accept that intrusive tracking is probably going to be inevitable, because advertising agencies will face the same commercial pressures they do today. But what people really hate – as evidenced by the many negative comments here – is the prospect to building a metaverse that artificially imposes all the scarcity and constraints of the real world in order to increase opportunities to sell us stuff.
People generally don’t give a crap about copyright – if they see a nice meme picture, they want to save-as and use it as their avatar, or forward it to all their friends. We want a metaverse where you can still do that. Not one where we are nickle-and-dimed with microtransactions for everything we do, where the snobs flaunt their wealth with exclusive designer brand-name virtual clothing. Where you try to play virtual basketball and find the hoop is a dollar-a-month subscription.
It’s bad enough what Facebook et al have already done to the internet a lot of us grew up with. We used to be warned about the dangers of revealing any personal information – now you can’t even comment on a website without tying it to a social media account, because you can’t target adds to an anonymous pseudonym. Everything is tracked, monetised, recorded forever, and data-mined to convince us to buy more crap we don’t even really want – and then to make us see the ads, an engagement-focused algorithm feeds us all on conspiracy theories and mindless clickbait. Because the angrier the audience are, the more they keep watching.
The internet was supposed to free mankind. Instead it turned into another corporatised wasteland. And now the metaverse is going to be more of the same.

4) It’s super-absorbent. Useful for getting into those hard to reach places.

I won’t be into metaverse, NFT or cryptocurrency for at least the next 10 years. These things consume a huge amount of energy while benefiting only a small percentage of the population. I can’t imagine scaling them to a global level for everyone to use at a reasonable cost. There are other matters that are much more pressing and worth investing in at the moment. Innovations and futuristic visions are nice, but we should not allocate too much resource to distant goals and neglect the current crises.

I’m sick of the word ‘metaverse’ as much as the next person, but some of the Facebook boomer-style takes here are just too cringy. No, not wanting the “metaverse” doesn’t necessarily mean we should only care about the real world or not want virtual reality to get more popularized and better. It just means we shouldn’t pay attention to the scammy side of things that is the “metaverse”, along with other gimmicky words like “Web 3.0”, “decentralized blockchain” or “NFT”.

No one does their homework, you guys parachute on Youtube and think the Metaverse is something yet to come… Second Life is a fully fledged Metaverse, the only really established one, because there is nothing missing, SL is a Metaverse where all you wonder about and talk about has already happened and is fully answered, since 2003, it just doesn’t use the silly VR goggles… SL is indeed the only mature and organically developed Metaverse, with a complex thriving economy and all sorts of activities, from entertainment to science, education and arts, even real jobs, therefore being the only available long run “proof of concept” for how everything works on a present and future VR Metaverse – what people want and don’t want, what they create and sell and buy, how they socialize, roleplay, work, have families and live, etc… But beaware, Blockchain and Crypto have nothing to do with the Metaverse, absolutely nothing… Saying the Metaverse needs crypto is like saying the Internet of today can’t survive without Hotmail, contrary to what all Youtube Ponzy Crypto scamners want you to think, by sticking together the trendy words Blockchain and Metaverse… The Metaverse can’t develop properly with Crypto and NFTs, it needs a very stable value coin, like SL has (Lindens), a coin that works like a FIAT… No one will rent a house, create products, pay and sell for services and buy stuff (like it happens on SL) when things have speculative weekly fluctuating values and the dress you sell gives you 50$ income on Monday and only 0,1$ on Sunday, or the land you rented to run your home or venue costs 20$ on January than 200$ on April… A Metaverse economy must be based in utility of goods and services, not speculation of goods and service, the real developers of a Metaverse buy things to USE them (for fun or slow business investment), not to fast SELL/FLIP them… Crypto Metaverse is just – NOT GONA HAPPEN… Only speculators, AND NOT real creators and consumers, want to engage on a Crypto Metaverse, just dreaming with fliping revenues… And those are not the population that develop and grow a real Metaverse, is a ponzy scam hive, pure and simple… Wakeup People…

his ideas are very unnappealing.
I used to be eager to see what augmented reality could bring us. extra information displayed next to what you’re looking at, apps boosting productivity, hands-free operation… You know, function over form, usefull stuff…
nowhere in this presentation do I see anything usefull. no watch, no calculator, no weather information, no news feed…
When I look at what sutu brought, I’m thinking pop up ads, scam, epilepsy inducing neon blinking ugly pointless doodles
It’s like myspace pages all over again
this idea is not worth spreading
Preyan Mehta
September 15, 2022 at 10:44 am
I read the comments before watching the video. And was sceptical to watch it. Also saw likes to dislike ratio. I don’t understand the hate spreading around for this particular video. Sutu specifically talks about anti-Meta Metaverse. Talks about moving OUT rather than stick to screens. Why is this topic so edgy for so many people and why take that hate out on TED as a platform or the Speaker/Artist?
Sometimes we as a specie surprise ourselves as to how we behave as a group and how it impacts on the behaviour of the majority of the people here. I bet, most of the people who commented on the video, either don’t understand Metaverse yet, nor understands majority of the technology which goes behind it and how it can HELP solve the issues we are facing, such as racism, equality, identities, decentralisation of power and money by providing a way of using an individual’s self expression to earn etc. Just see how much individuals and as a society has benefitted from platform like Youtube?
Keep the Open Sourced nature of TED as a platform alive and keep the good work coming.

Everyone can participate in building the metaverse | Sutu | TED
Why do they keep telling us we want a reality that’s either augmented or virtual? A reality where we exist as colourful superhero avatars? A reality that has no base in reality. The so called metaverse in which we’re all going to live in the future isn’t a digital utopia, it’s a file on a server that collects our data. It’s nothing more than a shopping mall where every store will know your name, age, financial status, sexual preference, political view, religious belief and musical taste to name just a few, even before you step over their virtual threshold.
Of course, those who promote this future are heavily invested technocrat businessmen. The ultimate objective in capitalism is to minimise production costs and maximise profits. If the goods aren’t physically real but only exist in the metaverse, then there are zero production costs, resulting in maximum unlimited profits.
This metaverse may be virtual but the financial structure supporting it is firmly based in the real world. Money is Debt whether real or virtual. Its far easier to allow or deny credit if all transactions are virtual and controlled by a global central non-governmental bank.
Although in the short term, an elite few may make huge profits, it will ultimately fail. To achieve maximum profits and total success all humankind would need to be permanently connected to the metaverse. Eventually the wealth and power of the elites outside of the metaverse would have no value and they themselves would need to become part of the metaverse.
With all of mankind connected to the virtual metaverse, our physical bodies would need nourishment to survive. Robots could be programmed to manufacture artificial proteins, nutrients, vitamins and fibres necessary to maintain human life and feed them intravenously to the population. But such a sedentary immobile existence would rapidly lead to muscle and bone degradation resulting in death. With no physical contact between individuals, sexual intercourse wouldn’t happen. No procreation, no new offspring and no continuance of the species.
Again, robots could be programmed to harvest sperm and eggs and breed new humans. But this new species of artificial human would require constant feeding and attention. They’d be a drain on resources and be a less cost-effective solution.
If the robots main programming was to maximise profits by minimising production costs in perpetuity, then producing useless physical bodies would be an unnecessary production cost. Profits could be maximised simply by creating digital humans to live in the digital metaverse.
There would be no messy biological stuff, the digital humans would live out their digital lives in a digital metaverse totally oblivious of any “real” universe.
The physical universe with human beings connected to the digital metaverse require huge amounts of energy and resources to maintain.
Digital humans in a digital metaverse require no such amounts of energy. The metaverse could be easily compressed into a single file and stored on a simple computer, with little power.
Minimum costs, Maximum Profit!

When I see “Metaverse” in the topic of a talk I understand that this video is paid by Meta. If it wasn’t paid why would a person call it “Metaverse” instead of “virtual universe” or whatever.
Why does TED promote this company? I haven’t seen commercials of other big companies here..
