After watching this, I'm now convinced. The metaverse can't work. Not only can it not work under capitalism (what a dystopian nightmare it would be when "jumping" has to be paid for), but we can't like... actually live there. In a very real sense, it's impossible to "live" in the metaverse, or anywhere online. We do things online. Those things are real, but we're still out here in the really real world where physics and biology and toilets are. Short of full brain uploading, it isn't happening.
(And, as an aside, full brain uploading very much seems impossible, not just under current technology but in all future conceivable technologies, from what I've learned talking to biologists who know a thing or two about it. Our brains are very fragile and any means of fully "reading" it would necessarily be completely and utterly destructive down beyond the cellular level. There is no "jack input" that would just feed the whole state of the brain through one point. Further, attempts to read one half of the brain would render the other half useless as far as data reading is concerned. Hoping for brain uploading seems about as silly a notion as hoping for faster than light travel... perhaps even more so. If we want a future of invincible immortal robots, our best bet is to think of them as a successor species, post-human, and just wish them the best of luck without us.)
There's a AI app for that already.. If the headset didn't bother so much after a 2 hour game I might actually like it better.
Honestly it's only distopican if your wasted on your money on a dumbass quest instead of a htc headset.
You can still hang out with friends, and take being the loud asshole who ruins the movie to awesome and strange new places.
Also allot of sporting venues like the NFL has tickets literally on the field now with cameras rolling that shoot in VR.
I've seen a football game like that. Banged 30 cat girls like that.. Seen a wrestling match. Watched a NBA game.. Movies are great.
