Matt Wolfe talks with a guest about what the metaverse actually is: an open, interconnected global 3D internet that doesn't exist yet. Most companies claiming to have built a metaverse are getting ahead of themselves.
I want to talk a bit about this sort of crossover of AI and the metaverse, but before we do, I think we kind of need to define the metaverse, because I think a lot of people have a fuzzy vision of what the metaverse is. You know, at one point, the metaverse was very tied towards, like, crypto, and, you know, Facebook went and changed their name to meta, and there was all of this stuff that was sort of muddying the waters. So how do you define metaverse?
First of all, I think the easy way to think about the metaverse. First of all, the metaverse does not exist yet, okay? So all those people who says, oh, we have the X and X metaverse, they're all just bullshitting you. The metaverse is actually the Internet we've been building for the last 30, 40 years, but the 3D version of the Internet, and what that means is that it's a open, interconnected global network of instead of websites, you go to 3D World. That's really the definition of the metaverse.
