Manifest your reality into the #metaverse via voice with @Meta ’s Builder Bot, stroll down the fashion district in @decentraland ‘s #MVFW, buy @colbertlateshow ’s #NFT, earn in-game money that can be exported in @playhyperspace
Words are powerful, and with Meta’s new “Builder Bot”, you can speak what you want to manifest into your personal virtual world. This strikes Andy as a starting point that could eventually lead to something like the Star Trek Holodeck. The co-hosts then also discuss how the artificial intelligence behind the Builder Bot can become more tuned to the user, so that it gets to know what the user really means when a request is made for a “picnic blanket over there”.
Sticking with the metaverse, the first ever Metaverse Fashion Week is coming up in Decentraland’s Fashion District on March 24 – 27. According to the Metaverse Group press release, the event will feature catwalks, pop-up shops, and more. Given that fashion digital assets could be bought and sold on the blockchain as NFTs, the team takes a look at Stephen Colbert’s NFT on Terra Virtua. Andy actually went through the (several) steps to purchase one and is now a proud owner.
The team considers Hyperspace, a game coming soon that is not only free to play, but also provides an opportunity to work. And by work, that means that making money in-game can give the player an opportunity to pull funds from the game into real life. This is a bit of a twist, isn’t it?
Rounding out this week’s episode, the co-hosts consider the current status of AI copyrights and patenting. Also, the apparent rising popularity of voice notes and what that bodes for efficient communication.
What NFT fashions might you purchase for your avatar? And do you find voice notes effective? Let us know over at @gamesatwork_biz !
Thanks for listening!
