Episode notes
Metaverse Data Concerns
- The metaverse, inheriting internet business models, will likely collect extensive involuntary data through VR headsets.
- This data collection may worsen with neurotechnology, potentially leading to "cognitive surveillance capitalism."
Metaverse Interoperability
- For metaverse success, ensure interoperability by connecting all metaverses.
- Implement content portability, requiring complex legal structures for copying digital objects, like contracts.
Digital Ownership vs. Licensing
- Digital goods are licensed, not owned, unlike physical goods, limiting their use.
- Without "digital exhaustion," transferring digital items between metaverses becomes problematic.
