This week’s weekend reading recommendation is a feature from the latest issue of New York Mag about Mark Zuckerberg’s Metaverse. Paul Murray spent several days wandering around Horizon Worlds talking to the people there. One of the people he encountered said, “I’m just here to have a good time and maybe pick up some MILFs.” When asked what he would do with them, he replied mysteriously. The writer found this amusing as it showed how people are trying to find community on the Internet and settling for these bizarro world versions of human interaction. It’s a great look at Facebook’s big bet on the Metaverse, as they reportedly spent $36 billion before announcing their shift in focus to AI.
