Reports indicate that Mark Zuckerberg is losing interest in the metaverse. “Both users must be devastated” is one of the tarter reactions doing the rounds. To remind readers — how telling that I need to — the metaverse is a virtual world in which people interact as graphical representations of themselves: as “avatars”. Who was ever going to choose it over real life, even for an hour, beats me. But the tousle-haired one was so devoted to the idea as to rename Facebook after it in 2021.
有报道称,马克•扎克伯格(Mark Zuckerberg)正在对元宇宙失去兴趣。坊间流传着不少刻薄的反应,其中之一是:“那两位用户一定伤心坏了。”提醒一下读者——而我竟然需要提醒,这本身就很说明问题——所谓元宇宙,是一个虚拟世界,人们在其中以自己的图形化形象,也就是“虚拟化身”互动。谁会愿意哪怕花一个小时舍弃现实生活而选择它,我实在想不通。不过,这位头发蓬乱的那位当年对这个想法如此执着,以至于在2021年把Facebook改名为Meta。
