I can recall the olden days when dozens of keynote speakers and colleagues and tech influencers said we should figure out our organization's place in the metaverse or be left behind.
That was so long ago...

(*checks notes*)

that was FOUR years ago.

I still have the notebook on which I drew a stick figure of myself rolling my eyes while pretending to take notes in the meeting in which we were lectured about how the metaverse was the future.

It never caught on for simple and very human reasons - no one looks cool wearing VR goggles - AND they mess up your hair!

@tommyhp naa, it’s worse. no one looks cool with a bike helmet either, yet people do use them.

An entire branch of the tech media just spent a year copy-pasting Meta’s press releases without doing the littlest bit of investigative journalism and we collectively wasted two years of our lives listening to influencers who knew nothing about what they wrote about.

Good thing they learned their lesson and would never do such a silly thing ever again!

@juliette I can't wait for Zuck to go all-in on AI and rename his company to "Artificial".
@dave truly the kiss of death
