    The Metaverse wasn’t the only metaverse. I’m talking about that, Decentraland and dozens of other failed projects. Every time one of them failed the other grifters used to decry that it wasn’t the real metaverse. Just like you’re decrying that corporate AI shouldn’t be the focus of the discussion despite it literally being 99% of the compute, capital and use cases.

      I didn’t say it shouldn’t be a focus of discussion. I’m saying separate it from open source projects and their users, because open source projects and their users don’t help Sam Altman and friends in any way. These projects exist largely in spite of corporate AI.
