Really enjoyed being on this show. The conversation about the metaverse can be much bigger if we look past the press releases and marketing fluff and instead focus on what it really means for us—the players.
🔊 Still talking about The #Metaverse, with @BENfromTV, Creative Director at @InVisionApp and co-founder of @blockfeedapp and @jamie247 talking:

October 1973, Ohio. A UFO stops over Captain Lawrence Coyne's Army helicopter and floods the cockpit with green light. When it leaves, they're climbing 1,000 ft a minute with the controls set to descend.

In more underreported news: Virtual worlds pioneer Raph Koster (Ultima Online, Star Wars Galaxies) reveals his company @PlayableWorlds' new technology and claims to have created a #metaverse platform that makes "AAA virtual spaces as straightforward as the Web"
I wrote a little something about how our #metaverse tech works at Playable Worlds... and how in the end, it's not about tech, but about people. raphkoster.com/2021/09/09/re…

One of the most spot on #metaverse observations by @ballmatthew imho. My only comment is that virtual South Park is a more likely cultural touchstone, or a planet-sized Adult Swim. Whatever it is created will likely push social and cultural norms.
The conversation about the metaverse would benefit greatly from the perspective of virtual worlds designers like Raph and their long legacy of innovation and research in the space. More of this, plz.
Everyone is talking about the #metaverse. As someone who has actually built and run one, I have Thoughts. raphkoster.com/2021/09/02/on…

This wouldn’t be an ethical dilemma if we just moved all of war to a giant video game.

Wonderful conversation today with @jamie247 for The Metaverse Podcast. Wide ranging convo concerning metaverse ethics, economies, and what it all means for the us the players. Thanks for creating the space for convo on a supremely important topic. Keep an eye out for the ep!
Very soon this sort of thing will be all over Tik Tok as consumer mocap, 3D avatars, and real time rendering collide. wild times #virtualproduction
An explanation of cyberspace from a BBC documentary on William Gibson. First broadcast in 1990, two years before the #metaverse was coined in Snow Crash

One of the great promises of the #metaverse, if done right: "Synthetic worlds allow people to form new societies in new lands almost at will. When the American frontier was open, it made space for whole communities built around alternative views." - from Exodus to Virtual Worlds
For anyone playing up the utopian angle of the #metaverse, plz read one of the first & most influential literary pieces ever written about virtual worlds titled A Rape in Cyberspace by @juliandibbell published by @villagevoice in 1993 villagevoice.com/2005/10/18/…
“The title of my address is: if you find this world bad, you should see some of the others.”

Has anyone going on about the #Metaverse actually taken the time to talk with young gamers about it? Check out my interview with the wonderful Natetastic (originally broadcast in October 2020) where we discuss what the metaverse means to him.
Check out my new interview in @MarketWatch about the #metaverse. It's important to remember that interest in the metaverse isn't purely ideological, but also driven by strategic business interests which have the potential to be market-altering.

@jradoff great list but needs to add Permutation City! Perhaps the most dense and philosophical sci-fi exploration of the metaverse ever written and truly mind expanding stuff.
