Philip Rosedale, CTO of Linden Lab, is the visionary behind Second Life. He recently shared all of his predictive knowledge about the direction of the metaverse, mixed reality (MR) and artificial intelligence (AI) during an onstage conversation at Linden Lab’s headquarters. In 2020, Rosedale further underscored why it’s so important...
In short, Philip Rosedale, creator of Second Life, is on to something with his idea of the metaverse. The problem is that the metaverse, as it’s currently conceived, isn’t inviting to your mom. And honestly? He's right. That’s not a dismissal of the future, but rather a reality-check we say...
The metaverse. We hear so much about it: a digital frontier promising immersive experiences, new economies, and a future where the lines between the physical and virtual blur. Let’s face it, today it has all the charm of the Wild West frontier and none of its prosperity. Why? Because digital...
I’ve been interested in the metaverse, this growing digital landscape. I happen to agree, as a graphic novelist I can tell you there’s tons of incredible storytelling and community building potential. Yet my background similarly predisposes me to be jittery over what could come in the dark, unseen shadows. The...
EarthMeta. But just taking a glance at the name should give you pause – it sounds as hopeful as it does creepy, right? Party like it’s 1999 You may have heard that it’s the best place to buy virtual land. It is this digital frontier where we are to forge...
Colle AI’s profile upgrades aren’t simply another tech rollout gone to metaverse-hype heaven. They’re a nascent tectonic shift in how we create, portray, and possess our digital identities. Forget static avatars – we’re talking about dynamic, living identities, designed with a level of precision not previously possible.Metaverse is No Longer...
The metaverse. A swirling nebula of possibility. A classroom for innovative, interactivity, and, most importantly, individuality. Here, on the other hand, we’re not subject to the laws and gravity and physics. We can be anyone, anything. That “anyone” is more and more embodied by our avatars. These digital surrogates, or...
Picture this—entering a universe where the only boundaries are those of your creativity. That’s the lure of the metaverse – a limitless virtual landscape full of potential. Imagine being able to enjoy a concert experience with friends from across the globe, in real time. Create a digital business dynasty or...
Forget Dogecoin’s fleeting fame. We’re speaking of real innovation, real utility, and real potential to drastically reshape our digital lives for the better. That’s not the whole picture of the metaverse. It’s even bigger than about data ownership, or identity, or a future where you’re in charge of your digital...
Apparently, Joseph Lubin believes Wall Street is on the verge of jumping into DeFi with both feet. I’m inclined to agree with his optimism — what does that optimism actually mean for the future of the metaverse? Does this mean that the flood of traditional finance cash will bring us...
Remember the early days of the internet? Wild West, right? That’s how DeFi seemed just a few years ago. “Rug pulls” started entering the broader crypto lexicon. That’s starting to change and for the better. We know regulation can be a buzzkill but it’s the only way to find out...
The crypto world loves a good narrative, and Humanity Protocol's H token is dripping with one: a fairdrop revolution. Yet the promise is unmistakable. We will fight to reclaim airdrops from the arms of the bot armies and restore them to actual, live human beings. The method? Palm scans. Yes,...
A billion-dollar valuation for the ability to palm scan? No joke. While everyone’s chasing the next crypto unicorn, I can’t shake the feeling we're blindly galloping towards a future where our bodies are the ultimate key – and the ultimate target. Humanity Protocol’s H token has skyrocketed, partially fueled by...
It’s that same sort of exuberance you felt when you first heard about the metaverse. The fulfillment of digital utopia, being in touch with everyone on planet Earth through expansive online metaverses, creating prosperous virtual societies? It sounded revolutionary. Now, look at Horizon Worlds. Clunky avatars, digital tumbleweeds, and a...
Zuckerberg wants AGI. Personal superintelligence, he calls it. An AI that essentially runs your life. Sounds convenient, right? Maybe. But let's be brutally honest: entrusting the keys to your existence to a single, centralized entity – especially one with Zuckerberg's track record – is a recipe for disaster. Well, it’s...
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, is currently navigating a complex path, attempting to redefine his public image and position himself as a leading figure in the burgeoning field of artificial intelligence. Zuckerberg has made no secret of his desire to see Meta take the lead in artificial general intelligence (AGI)....
DeFi might seem like a remote world, but I’ll never forget being at a DeFi conference last year. The typical panicky lunge for registration lines, relatable uncomfortable small talk… but then, wait, what’s this. Rather than needing to keep up with a paper name tag, I simply scanned a QR...
I’ve always been interested in the way art and technology can bring people together. My past as a graphic novel artist and writer showed me the impact visual storytelling can have on connecting with others. I never envisioned how powerful these digital collectibles could be – how they can be...
