Trools only show themselves by their behaviour unless we occasionally spot a returning sock puppet.
Spammers are usually easier to spot, but we don’t want to let those in - unless, that is, you want more advertising of gambling, porn, prostitution, drugs etc.

I still see ads here. They are more noticeable in mobile phones, since they can occupy almost half of the screen.

Let's see an interesting opinion I found on Twitter.
https://twitter.com/ShaanVP/status/1454151237650112512?t=DkkozhFG0wdsNQ7Xoq8v6A&s=03

Hot take: Everyone is wrong about the Metaverse.

here's my 3 part theory..

Quote
Part I - Everyone is wrong

Most people think "the metaverse" is a virtual place.

Like in the movie Ready Player One.

A virtual world, like Minecraft, Roblox, or like Zuck showed in the facebook demo yesterday.

But what if it's not a place?
Quote
Part II - It's Not a Place, It's a Time

A time? wtf?

Yes, a moment in time.

You know in artificial intelligence, there's an idea of "the singularity"?

It's a moment in time where AI becomes smarter than humans. The moment when artificial intelligence > human intelligence
Quote
Part III - What it is

The metaverse is the moment in time where our digital life is worth more to us than our phsyical life.

This is not an overnight change. Or an invention by some steve jobs type.

It's a gradual change that's been happening for 20 yrs
Quote
Every important part of life is going digital.

Work --> from factories to laptops. boardrooms to zooms.

Friends --> from neighbors to followers. Where do you find like minded people? Twitter. Reddit. etc.

Games --> more kids play fortnite than basketball & football combined.
Quote
Identity --> filters are the new makeup. Stories are your personal billboard to broadcast who you are.

What matters more. What you look like in real life? or what you look like on instagram?

The pic on the left is what they see, so it's what matters.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FC4ruzWVkAAeMDK?format=png&name=900x900)
Quote
Everything goes digital. Your friends, your job, your identity.

And now with crypto, your assets are online too.

Bored Apes are the new Rolex.

Fortnite skins are the new skinny jeans.

If everyone hangs out online all the time, then your flexes need to be digital.
Quote
So if you play this forward another 10-20 years - we will cross into the metaverse

The moment in time where digital matters more to us than physical.

Our attention used to be 99% on our phsysical environment.

TVs dropped that to 85%
Computers down to 70%
Phones.. 50%
Quote
our attention has been sucked from physical to digital.

And where attention goes, energy flows.

If 50% of our attention is on our digital screen, then 50% of our energy will go to our digital life.

Today it takes some effort to take our phone out of pocket and look at it.
Quote
Soon, some company will make smart glasses that sit in front of our eyes all day.

We will go from 50% attention on screens to ~90%+

That's the moment in time when the metaverse starts.
Because at that moment, our virtual life will become more important than our real life.
Quote
Is this a good or a bad thing?

Like anything, it's neither good nor bad. It's just a thing.

A very different thing.

I Wonder why Porn needs to be Advertised.
It's like Cocaine, sniffers will always find it, no matter what.
I read somewhere, 50% of All Data on the Internet is Porn.
I find that hard to believe.
I agree there might be Alot...but nope! Half of the stuff online is hump pump...lol not true.

SideNote - Most pornography sites are filled with trojans & viruses & keyloggers...Please be Cautious as No System is Safe!
✌️
& Also...that dumb ointment/cream/pill that can ElonGate your Penis...is a Huge Scam.
(lol no, i didn't learn that the hard way, I'm blessed with common sense)

I Login thru Mobile.
ADs used to block the Login boxes.
But i just tilted the phone 90° & then back, & ADs would shift to the corners of the Login Screen.
👍

Would it Not be Good for the Environment, if WE all went into META?
🤔

Ps - MODS, Please Think, & Rethink on adding a phone/mobile verification link for Logging in or Registering.
I'm Quite Sure, most Registered Users would Welcome it & Not oppose it.
(Hard Luck H)

Unless the Commodity in Supply is Limited...& The demand for it Unlimited.

Anyways, back to the Topic!

If Everyone willingly chooses to be part of META...
Will that not contribute in favor of the Climate & Environment crises?

Simply put, Facebook's Metaverse is a tightly interconnected set of digital spaces that lets users escape into a virtual world and the rules of technology are the only limit..28, Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook status here (https://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/[url=https://dislyke.com/fb-status/[/url)
[/url]here[/url]
 was changing its name to Meta to reflect its new focus on building the metaverse: a vast, immersive online realm that would encompass entire digital societies and economies. Facebook — that is, Meta — envisions its Oculus virtual reality headsets as a portal to that realm,

The whole Facebook turning into Meta thing is mind-boggling, right? Exciting possibilities, but also, it's like diving into the unknown! And I get the need for some lively discussion ? a few trolls might spice things up a bit!

The true figure may be higher. The demand for high bandwidth and optimum image compression has been driven by the porn industry in the last 20 years.

Have you ever heard any of the following :-

1) Replika Application?
2) DeepFake Software?
3) UnDress Program?


Anyways, what about A.I. Generated Porn?
I'd very much Like to know yours & Other members views/opinions on it.

IMO, it will be inevitable, considering the progress in open source AI models.

AI will gradually demonetize every industry. Entertainment is among the first, especially when the product is non-physical.

What you say is quite Correct!
& No point in Blaming A.I.
Coz it's just a Tool.

I just had to say. Wouldn't the meta-verse be great? You could be whoever or whatever you wanted. And in reality you could be blind, you could crippled, you could be horribly deformed. And no one would know. The possibilities with technology is sometimes endless. (Sorry to interrupt. Carry on. You were talking about porn or something.)

Why can't they also have fun? The details might be different from what men like, but they also have sexual desires.

@Jim

Thanks for your Input.
By the way, we weren't discussing Porn.
Rather what i was tryin to do, n failing at it, was to Highlight the Misuse of A.I. Tech w.r.t. the Porn industry.

& Underaged kids can Login to the MetaVerse, & Yes they are subjected to indecent actions, profanity, bullying & digital sexual harassment.

I donno Why the general average people at large are being Forced to gulp this unwanted AI down their throats.

There seems to be No Choice!
Either adapt, or fade away.

I must Apologize!
Sorry i was not clear in explaining the Problem.

Scenario : -

   An Evil Predator searches for an Innocent Victim.

EP checks fakebuk, waatzap, twatter, instagrum & yotube.
EP gathers images, voice, video & other samples from All above.
Then inputs all this Data into an A.I. system, n generates ai porn.
& Uploads it on the open internet(www)

Innocent Victim is Clueless about what's happening with personal data.
IV has NOT agreed to be in the adult entertainment industry.
IV later finds out porn videos of them are in circulation on various platforms.
& Now it is Too Late for Damage Control.

ps - this is Rape, Digital Rape.
What freaking ' Universal Moral Standards ' are we setting up?
