Some consider the " metaverse " has the power to revolutionize the digital world while others have warned it couldspell tomb dangerfor humanity . Elon Musk , however , just thinks it ’s over - hype .
In a recent audience with conservative satiric word siteThe Babylon Bee , the creation ’s rich known being was asked about his judgment on theMetaverse , a newly revealed labor by the companyformerly bang as Facebookthat desire to make an immersive virtual realism environment in which citizenry can interact with others .
Musk sound distinctly unimpressed by the idea , dismissing it as all hype and little substance .
“ I ’m not certain I buy into this musical theme of the Metaverse stuff . Sure you’re able to put a television on your olfactory organ . I ’m not sure that makes you ‘ in the metaverse , ’ y ' know , ” he said .
“ I do n’t see someone strap a frigging screen to their look all twenty-four hour period and not want to ever forget . That seems — no agency , ” he go along . “ I think we ’re far from disappear into the Metaverse . It sound kind of like a buzzword . "
“ I do n’t want to be like some old codger dismissing the cyberspace in like 1995 [ saying ] it wo n’t amount to anything , there ’s some danger of that , " he take note , " but I presently am unable to see a compelling metaverse state of affairs . "
Musk touched on a figure of hot subject during the lengthy podcast interview , from the planet ’s environmental problem to flying saucer .
mouth about mood change , Musk said : “ I ’m not in the inner circle of crack - alarmist global thawing . I do n’t retrieve we ’re screwed because of the current [ carbon emissions ] .
“ However , there ’s so much inactivity in the direction of mining and burning hydrocarbons . The world is still overwhelmingly strung-out on excavation and burning hydrocarbons , so if this continues and we really start up driving up CO2 in the atmosphere , there ’s increased risk of clime change , warming up the oceans , and raising the ocean level . I opine that ’s in all probability not a wise risk of exposure to take . ”
On the study of extraterrestrial life , Musk say he has n’t seen any real evidence just yet . However , from this idea , perhaps humanity can reach some inspiration .
“ If anyone would sleep with about evidence of unknown it would be me , and I ’ve seen nothing , ” he stated .
" Where are the aliens?Maybe there are n’t any in this galaxy . Maybe what we have here [ on Earth ] is a very , very rare office . A brief , flickering of consciousness like a fiddling candle in a vast duskiness – and we should not lease that candle go out . ”
