Oh please, the world was full of hype journalists wanting to sound like they get it and they are in it, whatever next trash Facebook throws their way.

The same way folks nowadays pretend like the LLMs are the next coming of Jesus, it's the same hype as the scrum crowd, the same as crypto, nfts, web3. Always ass kissers who cant think for themselves and have to jump on some bandwagon to feign competence.

Look at what the idiots at Forbes wrote: https://www.forbes.com/councils/forbestechcouncil/2023/02/27...

They are still very influential, despite having shit takes loke that.

Accenture still think the Meta is groundbreaking: https://www.accenture.com/us-en/insights/metaverse

What a bunch of losers!

71% of executives seemed to be very excited about it: https://www.weforum.org/stories/2022/04/metaverse-will-be-go...

Executives (like Zuck) are famous for being rather stupid so if they are claiming something, you bet its not gonna happen.

Apparently, "The metaverse is slowly becoming the new generation’s digital engagement platform, but it’s making changes across enterprises, too."
