ยซThe complete and utter failure of the metaverse is a reminder not just of the fact that the future Silicon Valley is force feeding us is not inevitable, but that quite often these oligarchs quite simply cannot relate to real people, donโ€™t know how or why people use their products, and very often have no idea what theyโ€™re doingยป

Not just that they can't relate to people, but effectively have stopped being human at this point ๐Ÿ™ˆ

@[email protected] FFS even the word "introspection" isn't modern. It dates back to the 17th century in English but derives from the ancient Latin "introspectus", meaning to look within. Why are these billionaires so willfully, proudly ignorant? I'm starting to think some of them are philosophical zombies - in that they have no inner lives - which perhaps explains why they think chatbots might be people and other humans are expendable.
