Guy who's ok with being left behind (crypto, AI) did a MSc on the metaverse. Sounds like he tried to go with the hype once, got burned.

You're welcome to read my MSc and see if I was "going with the hype" https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.10542

The answer was quite the opposite. I wanted to see if the technology lived up to the hype. The answer, unsurprisingly was no. If only Zuck had listened to me :-)

Wanna comment on why you'd be spending your time and energy doing free work for facebook?

Some might call that learning from our mistakes.

People don't believe in that anymore. If your gut instinct was wrong, you're not only bound to it for all time, but you'd best angrily double down at every opportunity. God forbid you "flip flop" or consider new information, or whatever.

Fortunately the LLM will always see that your gut instinct was right all along.
