Zuck had a glow (or at least his avatar)

TL; DR

• The progress we see between last year’s Eiffel Tower Selfie screenshot and the in-metaverse podcast Zuck just did it with Lex Fridman, it’s SUPER impressive!

• It turns out that for an avatar to have that kind of graphical fidelity in Zuck’s metaverse, the human he represents has to park his meatbag in a specialized scanning room for most of the day.

• We look forward to seeing the time and technical requirements for these avatars collapse in the coming years.

We’ve been pretty harsh on Zuck’s metaverse in the past…

But we are the first to say it:

Damn, we’ll do you one better…

The day these kinds of graphics capabilities become standard within Zuck’s metaverse, we’ll be buying a top-of-the-line Quest headset.

At that point, Zuck can leak as much behavioral data as he wants. straight from our eyeballs!

That said, we’ll probably be safe for a while.

We look forward to seeing the time and technical requirements for these avatars collapse in the coming years.

(Even if it means making good on our bet).
