I firmly believe the metaverse is NFT-tier bullshit, but we should collectively recognize that whatever it is probably won't be for us HNers. We already don't understand why anyone would use Facebook. It's hard for us to intuit the likely future of products that are made for people who are not like us.
I was walking around the park a couple days ago, nursing a bit of neck pain, and I realized what I personally want. I want a Google Glass type side screen where I can develop software and analyze data with my brain while walking around the park. If the brain thing isn't in the cards, I'll put on motion-sensing gloves and use a virtual keyboard/trackpad.
That seems a lot easier than a fully immersive metaverse. So metaverse guys, let me know when you've got that one.
