They have put a ridiculous amount of R&D into it at this point but the whole metaverse idea doesn’t actually enable anything new or better than the existing paradigms.

He probably read Snow Crash (or maybe an AI summary, because he is a soulless husk) and thought it was super cool. It’s a dystopia. The book is not aspirational.
