Snow crash is meant to be one of the main like flagship crypto metaverse projects that people invested a ton of money into. My understanding is, but when you go and actually explore it, it's like, yeah, it's sad trombone. And they're so little to do. It's so janky. Yeah. If they were able to strip it out as easily as they did, then it's like they were never like seriously trying to make it because it's not something that you can just like build the like third person version first and then we'll work on the VR.
From the Metaverse to AI, tech giants continue lure us with false promises of "the next big thing." This week, Adam is joined by Dan Olson, a perceptive YouTube personality known for deconstructing narratives and the modern tech landscape. Together, they unravel the reasons behind this technological hype cycle and discuss potential pathways to break free from its grip. Find Dan's channel at Folding Ideas.
