0:00 isn't it crazy this dude's never played video games really he's wild wild I think he's lived it real life I think I was playing around I played GTA in like the front yard [Music] all right guys the reviews are in Facebook's metaverse has been out for quite some time now really no how long like out as in like out or like out like hey like people oh you see that's that's a problem if we didn't know no one's playing on that ████ anymore because crypto crashed so hard it's not a hot show guys no um it is officially a sad and empty unpopular flop wow imagine all the people that paid like hundreds of thousands for like real estate in the metaverse dude yeah you don't think it's gonna
0:50 I think so I bought I bought um what's known as the Inland Empire on meta just so I can create a like a Atlanta just strip clubs should have called the skinlin Empire somewhere in there that was good oh in that particular myth I don't know so like dive into the don't ask him questions yeah Ryan yeah so there's worlds within worlds and like Horizon worlds is one of the main ones and it's just nobody's ████ using it dude where's Snoop Dogg what's not a big thing that Snoop Dogg bought some ████ he bought land as well but that was in like the sand one yeah the sandbox yeah that's not this that ain't so different so when you go to the metaverse like what is the appeal you're asking that at this point yeah
1:40 because I still and it's not because like I'm ████ on it I just don't know what the purpose of it is have you seen Ready Player one yeah so that's what they're trying to build so that's what they're trying to build right I could be a condom spoiler I'm about to be a hot ████ anime girl yeah it's too hard to get into it right like first you have to ████ have an Oculus which is expensive and clunky I got one two when you put it on how comfortable is that right it's like it's not simple it's a little top heavy when you talk about like accessing the metaverse until it's like this easy yeah like how are you gonna get the ████ whole world on it you know what I'm saying like if you have to plug in every single time put on this thing that's gonna ████ give you a headache and hold these ████ weird ass things and try and communicate with stuff and point to stuff without control it's like it's not going to be super adopted you know right away but
2:31 at the same time though later on totally possible right because then you look at things it's always about timing and just the right uh time look at like ████ the app Clubhouse when the pandemic happened blew the ████ up and then once it's like you go back to regular World nobody's a ████ about it you know what I'm saying so you can also blow up right away and not work this one maybe is just like the Long play right eventually the future makes sense for us to like digitize in so many ways so it kind of still makes sense but in the current if you can't ████ get everybody to like adopt it it's of course I think I think people are gonna find new ways for escapism I mean people already do that nowadays so I think the Long Haul could be quite possible because people might be so bored with their current state of how they choose to explore escapism um some people do drugs whatever so the metaverse could be like that form of
3:21 escapism for people are you saying that in a positive way uh no I say some people can use this Escape ISM for positive or negative it's a tool yeah I think so it depends could it be that it's not working because like 90 but the characters are are women oh I haven't even looked I don't even know this character because if you think about like like women these are totally broad assumptions but like women I feel like they're characters are women but men there's a lot they'll just be women that's true you know what I mean like when they sign up for things that makes sense yeah and then when they get in there it's like dude everyone's a girl in here like well this is stupid like the 10 that are guys I don't get it yeah because if there's 90 women yeah and I'm rolling around in there that sounds like a good thing but if they're not actually women but everyone else it's like it's like that Black Mirror episode oh no yeah that's still fun though because that's a different life yeah yeah that's VR mic yeah what happens in VR stays in VR yeah no
4:11 that's cool oh that's true what if you if you hook up with a dude on on uh yeah you're playing so does that make you a break dancer or not I don't know don't be giving it away so fast I could be a break dancer in there right yeah so I'll try out in there yeah you can try out different occupations you could be a welder in there you can beat breakdancer out here honestly occupations so this is this is Michael this has always been my qualm about it is I think a lot of people that were showing all this enthusiasm for it and projecting that it's going to be the next big thing and and even they're saying they're gonna use it all the time I don't even think those are the people that even really play games that long I think in order to really want to do something like this for a long time you kind of already have to be in the Wheelhouse of
5:02 doing this type of thing for fun already yeah have you seen extreme VR I've watched some streamers play some crazy stuff and it's yeah you're right the accessibility is crazy expensive but they'll get a little hectic feedback deals all over their body those and they'll be doing some stuff like you know like what what stuff right here yeah hectic feedback's like when your phone buzzes when you type it okay right so you put some senses on your body I know like a lot of little s████ but I'm not that smart but it's like usually like for example the way it works really dope in like a a controller on a console yeah is if I'm pushing the trigger button for a gun it's going to give me feedback relative to that isn't it crazy this dude's never play video games really he's wild wild I think he's lived in real life I think I was playing around I played GTA in like the front yard example of um why people kind of just scoffed or
5:52 laughed at the idea of this because uh GTA has been around forever and that in itself is probably the most complex metaverse that it even exists and there are micro transactions and there are people making money and there are exchanges and it's very it's like it has its own economy it had its own stock market in the single player game but the main thing is that people don't pay attention to it because they don't play that but yet metaverse comes out and they think it's this big thing and they're like oh it's going to be this and that it's like you don't even like or are interested in GTA which probably is what metaverse would someday wish to be so so is the problem with metaverse right now is that it's just not enough options and just not enough things that are built out I think a lot of people are are hesitant to admit that they were more interested in the financial outcome of the metaverse than actually ████ playing it then actually interacting with us then it was also during a much more extreme time though right like see like everything that we've been through in the last like three years has been
6:42 very ████ extreme so imagine like all the crazy you have about the metaverse was also a time where people around the world were stuck the ████ in their homes they couldn't do stuff right so so the actual appeal of it made so much sense because that was like 50 of your options going into the digital world then suddenly you ████ go back out and do everything you can go back and self-eye Stadium like 600 000 people without Master where the ████ it's like who gives a ████ about my VR world today you know what I mean hey don't say that dude I love my audio it was like a uh it was like a launch in a marketing scheme too right because Facebook changed their name to meta as the metaverse became like its own and web three even became like in our regular daily dialogue so it was kind of just like an album launch and then the album just didn't really make it it flopped yeah but then Part Two Is Gonna Come And once we're hectic feedback ████ everywhere but like right I think horns industry is probably killing it in the that world yeah I
7:32 think porn industry's killing it in every world that's that's true yeah they're killing it no matter what they're an anomaly there are some games on the Oculus where you're like dude this is too sick but like you said it doesn't outweigh the amount of setup that you need to actually play well yeah because but I don't think it's Nintendo yet yeah it's like not even Nintendo yet you know we I don't know if you guys game at all but we're on like PC games you compare that to Nintendo crazy I think we're not even at Nintendo in terms of what that technology can do so when the technology and the accessibility level dude your timeline's ████ on the gun she's like after Nintendo if I if I were to be excited about it I think the next uh major level comes with the next major like uh rewiring of Hardware like everybody's super stoked on like apple when the ████ are you finally gonna get into AR VR right the
8:24 Apple glasses have been ruined for literally like two three years and they're talking about it everybody's doing this thing we're like oh this guy credible Source leaked it you're starting to see cool stuff but ideally right when you think about the idea of something like light glasses like that size actual glasses that you can put on and there's also an AR component so you're not just constantly stuck in this digital place that gives you ████ vertigo augmented reality yeah yeah assault rifles um and then um right but then the second the second you can actually use it in real world because it's light it's got long battery life you can you can see regular ████ you can click a button to go back into like virtual that's when that user functionality can transcend like putting a 16 pound thing on your head right the convenience you know what I mean I'm waiting for the Minority Report close wow oh yeah
9:17 [Laughter] I think it's it's an interesting thing because it's I think marketers are so ████ good that they were able to figure out quicker how to get people to spend money on something better than they were figuring out how to get them to spend the time and I think that's ultimately when you make something and everybody buys real estate in it but no one's using it that's how you know you were good at this and not the other and that's a hard thing to do because like again like gaming in general just has a big problem with battling the balance of microtransactions and actual gameplay so a lot of people want to earn things by being good at something and then other people want to expedite it by just paying for it but then those two things you can't have at the same time we ain't doing that because one ruins for the other exactly we grind for our ████ exactly I think they also overestimated how many introverts there are
10:08 yeah because I think you know like you were saying like for three years we're stuck at home we didn't really do much and the clubhouse blew up and all the other day this is a great time everyone's you know forcefully being introverted but then once things started opening back up the extroverts and like the mid the mid people were like I'm not staying home like I'm gonna go out yeah well timing plays a big role in that yeah so I think they overestimated like how many people are gonna like be cool staying home on their computers or on their Oculus and like living in that like digital world as opposed to going out and meeting people face to face right uh because that's I think face to face there's always gonna be people that want to do face to face like the extroverts are the mid people but the introverts like the extreme introvers always want to stay home so they're the ones that are going to pay for the the Oculus the haptic the feedback all that because for them that's their world but I don't think there's they don't even represent like a minority it's like a minority like a minute very very niche
11:00 in the niche Niche yeah but what do you what about when Tech is more one-to-one with reality then yeah so for me right I think it's a more of a tech accessibility issue than a than a human issue because once we're like one percent of reality yeah but once it's like 80 and now you can ████ fly right the Curiosity alone is just gonna drag people for me I think it's when sex robots get to the point where you can you can have it right you guys remember that scene in the movies um there's a Serenity of Serenity when Nathan I mean it was based on this TV show Firefly David krumholtz his character was just in his room and he had three sex dolls that walked around and talked to him once we get to a point near there I think then people just got just to stay home like in Japan and Korea where um the birth rate is going down it's decreasing it's declining every year because people aren't getting married they're just staying home and gaming for those guys if they're making money at
11:50 home they don't have to leave all the foods delivered and they have a sex robot that has AI That's decent AI can talk to them has haptic feedback actually touches them there's no reason for them to leave that's when I think meta starts blowing up more and women become extinct yeah that's what that's what we need to pitch to Mark Zuckerberg be like yo you need to ████ get on your sex robot advancing and then from there meta is going to work we talked about AI though what was that um Elon Musk talked about Ai and about his fear for having AI being put in the wrong hands oh of course I mean I mean that alone so yeah but all they need is basic AI for a second because guys we don't want deep conversations right that's true you just want them to say yes yeah as long as they say yes like we're good with that continued learning on ████ skills yes so you're saying that it's not a Silicon Valley issue
12:40 it's a matter of Boston Dynamics yes [Music]
