Everyone can participate in building the metaverse | Sutu | TED 

If there’s one thing human kind really does not need - it’s Metaverse

Everyone can participate in building the real verse.

Realverse still can use much of our efforts, let's build it for the better, instead of the Metaverse

we dont need metaverse, social media is more than enough to make us suffer...

What about if we participate in destroying the metaverse instead?

Ted is looking more and more like a pimped out magazine ad space

You know what else everyone can participate in? Minecraft Gmod VRChat Dreams Super Mario Maker College Outside Going to a restaurant with friends Dating Their Democracy (if they have one) Actively trying to change one's own life for the better Actively trying to change the world for the better Terraria

I won't be into metaverse, NFT or cryptocurrency for at least the next 10 years. These things consume a huge amount of energy while benefiting only a small percentage of the population. I can't imagine scaling them to a global level for everyone to use at a reasonable cost. There are other matters that are much more pressing and worth investing in at the moment. Innovations and futuristic visions are nice, but we should not allocate too much resource to distant goals and neglect the current crises.

Some interesting uses for the metaverse: 1) A doorstop 2) A beer coaster 3) It can hold your hair back when you get sick 4) It's super-absorbent. Useful for getting into those hard to reach places. 5) Shower cap 6) Substitute toilet paper

Hard no.

How about we FIX the world we actually LIVE in before making metaverse dweebs even a penny richer

Is this what they said about the internet? That it would be created and governed by the users and not by the state or big business? That didn't go according to plan did it?

Great another metaverse sales pitch. The general public doesn't care. Facebook cannot force anyone to want this. ALL of the crypto, NFT and metaverse bro's need to crawl back under the bridge that they came from.

Nah. Everyone should want to help build the wonderful reality already around us. Bettering the world we’re actually IN, instead of creating a virtual one. Screw that. Metaverse will absolutely be the end of humanity or civilization. PUMP THE BRAKES!

We cant improve our reality and yet we want to build a virtual world.Why? Whats in virtual world? Why not concentrate on the real issues ? Poverty,Racism, etc..we human have lost our ways and have no clue of our priorities. Metaverse is another way to divert the attention of the world, and to enrich those who already are..

Metaverse will be looked at like the biggest business FAIL since Blockbuster Video or clear coke.

"Everyone can participate in building the metaverse" Yeah...but no one wants to

I'd rather see everyone participate in making art. Doesn't have to be fine art; can be domestic (cooking, sewing, carpentry, gardening) or other craft. Just something that you enjoy making.

Someone pull the plug before this becomes a thing.

We need to fix problems in the real world before creating new problems in a virtual world. Its moving there if we like it or not got some great ideas he does. Like the "Platform independent" idea. Needs to be completely open. This could be fun as a creative space. Can TED please come back to earth please!

There are no hugs in the metaverse. You can't touch anything. Think about that for a moment. We need more hugs so obviously the metaverse is going in the wrong direction.

There should be some kind of dress code for these events...

I think going on vacation in the headset would be neat but we honestly don't need this. We are straying far from reality every day, how is the Metaverse going to combat that?

Just thinking, if we remove AR from Snapchat, what will it become?

If you just drop the NFT and blockchain part, the idea of this augmented-reality metaverse has some real appeal. The prospects are great for games. For work. For just everyday conveniences - maybe the future might even have augmented reality glasses that don't make you look like a cut-rate borg drone. I could go for interactive signage and maps, sure. But, no... you just have to go and ruin it by dragging in the most crass form of commercialism. Yes, any 'metaverse' platform needs money. Storage and processing power are dirt cheap, but they aren't quite free. Some concession to commercial reality must be made - be it a subscription fee, or some advertising. I'd even accept that intrusive tracking is probably going to be inevitable, because advertising agencies will face the same commercial pressures they do today. But what people really hate - as evidenced by the many negative comments here - is the prospect to building a metaverse that artificially imposes all the scarcity and constraints of the real world in order to increase opportunities to sell us stuff. People generally don't give a crap about copyright - if they see a nice meme picture, they want to save-as and use it as their avatar, or forward it to all their friends. We want a metaverse where you can still do that. Not one where we are nickle-and-dimed with microtransactions for everything we do, where the snobs flaunt their wealth with exclusive designer brand-name virtual clothing. Where you try to play virtual basketball and find the hoop is a dollar-a-month subscription. It's bad enough what Facebook et al have already done to the internet a lot of us grew up with. We used to be warned about the dangers of revealing any personal information - now you can't even comment on a website without tying it to a social media account, because you can't target adds to an anonymous pseudonym. Everything is tracked, monetised, recorded forever, and data-mined to convince us to buy more crap we don't even really want - and then to make us see the ads, an engagement-focused algorithm feeds us all on conspiracy theories and mindless clickbait. Because the angrier the audience are, the more they keep watching. The internet was supposed to free mankind. Instead it turned into another corporatised wasteland. And now the metaverse is going to be more of the same.

Escaping reality? Nice turn, TED!

The Metaverse is going to be the undoing of FB. It’s Second Life with 3D. A reimagined WoW with a Virtual Office instead of Maps.

Really wish RU-vid didn't disable seeing dislikes for everyone. No extension for the mobile app :|

Wake me up when I can jack into a time dilated digital world as a digital avatar. I want to know what it feels like to level up with all those blinding lights and confetti

TED USED TO be about inspiring ideas. New ways to look at the world. Groundbreaking ideas. Giving a voice to those who need it. Last few years, TED somehow become, both more pretentious and corporate. TED has lost its way.

Hard pass on everything Metaverse

If we value privacy, anonymity, peace of mind, freedom, and living a loving life without gossip, bullying, superficiality, drug dealers and pushers, crime and violence, prostitution, and modern slavery, let's stay away from social media and the metaverse. At the end of the day, *_without love and sense of humor life is meaningless._* 💕☮🌎🌌

this is great for inmates.

2022(G) “Respect and dignity.” Furthermore:

So basically digital art shop with zero actually useful things.

I've been subscribed to this channel for years but this was one "metaverse" too many.

Well this is controversial,I don't see the use of the metaverse if everything is going back to normal,and on top of that I've seen how much technology has affected the world in terms of mentality and in the physical too,I wish I was there to ask if all these are considered too

“Everyone *CAN* participate in building the metaverse,” and yet… very few of us WANT to participate.

Crazy excited about this

The metaverse failed to impress mature adults, so let's impose it on the impressionable young using identity rhetoric and bright colors.

the speaker look exactly what I think when I think of Metavershit

The only world building I’ll be doing is in Minecraft

I recently sat down with one of my favorite techies, Kristi Woolsey, an associate director at BCG Platinion, to find out more.

Yea this Metaverse is not going to be big

Second Life already exists.

This could revitalize malls. Imagine the visual assault as you walk through one.

Impressive work!

I'm on board with some San Junipero type ish at the end of my life, permanently uploaded into some LA type city, but if I'm trying to escape reality at present day, this ain't it.

I'd rather build a sandcastle made out of aids.

Imaging having an eyewear that you can activate and deactivate to see AR. It'll be very helpful to also develop this for navigation such as path finding and easy to see signage.

LOL is this meant to be ironic?

You can bring back the dislike bar with an addon.

Most of these comment are not going to age well. It is the equivalent to old people asking why we need smart phones or internet. The metaverse will go beyond art and play. It will become a vital part of everyday life and those who don't embrace it will fall behind and be at a massive disadvantage in life. Having a digital layer over reality will enhance every part of our daily life which most people clearly cannot fathom. -A virtual assistant (when combined with AI) -Job training in the field with no supervisor -Enhancement to business meetings & remote work from across the globe -Navigation on roads with real-time hazards -Real-estate signs around the city as you drive -Virtual monitors/screens/gaming that can go where you go -Collaborative & "in person" schooling from anywhere in the world (combine that with AI and each person will get their own digital teacher) -Realtime subtitles & translations to/from any language -Business/personal profiles displayed above new contacts -A digital screen that is always on to monitor your baby and his/her vitals -Imagine looking in your shopping cart and seeing a digital bubble above it telling you exactly how much money is in there & how much money is in your account I could go on all day. A digital layer over our reality (aka "The Metaverse") will change absolutely everything in your life for the better. The use cases will go beyond anything anyone can think of and a pair of AR/VR glasses will provide it.

This child's play is the future? I pass, thanks. This is just another way to generate more money for a few ingenious "entrepreneurs".

TED - BE BETTER.

Why to have metaverse when you have real beautiful Earth

NFTs. of course!

Big YIKES.

Did you not hear the Roar of the crowd at the end of the talk!? Don’t listen to all the bots in the comments. Digital art is coming fast! Be ready! Don’t ever let peoples words scare you! Great Ted Talk.

Dreams are the seedlings of reality, but your imagination runs too high, you're losing touch of reality.

Everyone can participate in getting some metaverse advertising money.

Facebook really did the metaverse a disservice by letting people think it's a Facebook product. Just look at this comment section.

They where to busy asking them self if they could they didn’t stop to ask if they should.

this is the “curse of knowledge” and the computer’s burden that we found ourselves enslaved to and the only toy that we can play with.

I'm sick of the word 'metaverse' as much as the next person, but some of the Facebook boomer-style takes here are just too cringy. No, not wanting the "metaverse" doesn't necessarily mean we should only care about the real world or not want virtual reality to get more popularized and better. It just means we shouldn't pay attention to the scammy side of things that is the "metaverse", along with other gimmicky words like "Web 3.0", "decentralized blockchain" or "NFT".

Sutu - the candy man, tempting us with very colorful, very pretty, very unhealthy sweets. “Augment” means “to make things greater.” Well, his smearing digital neon on Nature doesn’t improve Reality - it contracts it. Do you trust Transhumanists? to augment Reality? to Reset our Future? to entertain the children Sutu seems gentle. Kind. With an affable, breezy presentation style and a comfy puffy jacket that says “LAZY. “ Curious who advised him to transmit this particular message to the non-essential screen-addicted RU-vid viewers? Maybe the same stylist who picks Mister Gates’ trusty pastel cashmere sweaters? Troubling.

Nice, but I'd solve the real world's problems before creating another one that will have the very same problems. History repeats itself...

I HATE THE METAVERSE I HATE THE METAVERSE!

But i dont want to build it

Oh my mother fucking god. Meta is fine. It's the dunning Kruger effect and people are just that goddamned selfish in America. No we don't need any of this, if you're an average citizen, yet

i think this is where I'm unsubscribing from TED

Metaverse will make people more lonely

I would love to see, how many DESLIKES this video has

Wow there is one responding to nearly every critial comment and defenting this. Do something better with the time of your life man. This is a already lost subject.

I love the metaverse idea. I really do. It's been a dream of mine since I was a kid. Sadly, there's too many people living their in their own alternate reality right now in the 'real' world. We need to clean up poverty, hunger, and post-truth misinformation first. Clean up the real, then focus on the digital.

Metaverse is corporately created garbage that only nerds will be interested in. The tell-tale sign is Zuckerbutt getting involved. Y'all have fun, I'll stick with actual reality, such as it is.

A depressed gamer

Haha, if you didn't know, this got 1 TN downvotes, if you got the extension. Omg.

Friendly reminder to boycott any brand that makes NFTs.

So I've seen many Metaverse speakers on TED, are they selling spots on TED these days? No one cares about META and it's awful. Might as well have a TED talk about essential oils.

Making the Matrix.

Nobody needs the metaverse. Create real things!

Ouch.... maybe check subjects that are getting presented before letting people presenting it. This video is taking a hi. A very hard one. The term metaverse is use mostly in abusive and manipulative contexts.

It was beautiful. Until he said NFT.

Ceek

Yikers

the dude came to ted to sell his nft with a gimmick his ideas are very unnappealing. I used to be eager to see what augmented reality could bring us. extra information displayed next to what you're looking at, apps boosting productivity, hands-free operation... You know, function over form, usefull stuff... nowhere in this presentation do I see anything usefull. no watch, no calculator, no weather information, no news feed... When I look at what sutu brought, I'm thinking pop up ads, scam, epilepsy inducing neon blinking ugly pointless doodles It's like myspace pages all over again this idea is not worth spreading

For those of you without the dislike button extension, this video is currently at 400 likes and 1.3k dislikes

I agree, the transformation of any space at all whether outer or inner spaces lies on the shoulder of everyone. We have seen certain improvement in the VR and AR world and it because a lot of people have interest in it. i guess that's why i will always appreciate projects that take up matters around AI and metaverse or even the combo. AIwork works tirelessly to see that all areas of metaverse fits into their aim and objectives.

When I see "Metaverse" in the topic of a talk I understand that this video is paid by Meta. If it wasn't paid why would a person call it "Metaverse" instead of "virtual universe" or whatever. Why does TED promote this company? I haven't seen commercials of other big companies here..

Sounds interesting, what’s the catch. Costly or Free?? 🧐💕

I don’t want to be part of a world where showing up in a leopard sweater with black trainer pants with lime accents and beat up yellow running shoes is ok. I mean seriously…

I wonder how many people will watch this video and assume because of the generalized term metaverse that it's associated with Facebook and not the fact that metaverse is a term that interacts with multiple different platforms and virtually. I think a good way that would bridge the gap is to have fortnite and Pokemon go with a insertable augmented reality contact lens that is Incorporation with Nuralink. Money aside and guaranteed cooperation, it would definitely work.

We need more videos about the metaverse! ...said no one ever

yes people starve and are homeless but let's create and invest in a new, fake universe for rich people to spend money in.

Another promo for Meta, huh.

Metaverse just seems like a bad version of VR chat.

this dude comes out in sweatpants and a cheetah print sweatshirt.... skeezy

Build it and they will profit. Crowdsource your greed!

The Fireworks Event is happening in full swing at The Mera. I got 25000FIWA at this event and the number doesn't stop there 🥳
