I made this thread earlier, but I thought I'd make it at least one more time.
Anybody have any interesting stuff WEF stuff to share from their 2022 annual meeting? I watched a panel earlier that was all about the metaverse. They want you to pay real money for fake Air Jordans and other virtual goods in the metaverse. They talked about how maybe the United Nations would create a regulatory framework for standardizing the rules of the metaverse. They heavily implied that there would be internet anonymity since your avatar would be an actual photographic image of your physical likeness, except maybe in the case of certain groups like the Arab Spring who need privacy (color revolution shenanigans).
The founder of Second Life, Philip Rosedale, was on the panel talking about how people tend to moderate their behavior much more on the internet when a physical avatar is speaking to them rather than it just being text based. So that moderators with a physical form can be used for behavior modification purposes.
They also mentioned how the AI computer will do a much better job of upscaling, constantly retraining you to do your job better. I'm sure that won't create any kind of power imbalance when it comes to worker and employer relations when your boss is a fucking AI computer program.
That's just a few things I picked up from it. Do any of you guys have anything interesting to share?
