Prior to this current generation of web applications, we had the advent of concepts like Object Orientated Programming and prior to that even C was a massive move up from Assembly and punch cards.

AI has written a lot of code. AI has written very little high velocity production code by itself (ie. for people with no coding background).

In Ruby on Rails, the concept of fast coding has been around for over 20 years, look up this concept of Scaffolding: https://www.rubyguides.com/2020/03/rails-scaffolding/

So to answer your question,

1. AI has pushed a lot of code 2. AI has pushed almost no code without the oversight of human software engineers 3. Software engineers are pushing a magnitude more code and producing more functional utility and solving more bugs than ever before

I don't know what the future holds, but I do think that this is not a new trend to use software to help humans build faster, and I don't think software has the ability to fully replace humans (yet).

Non profit right?

This is not true. People that are not aligned with the company's values create negative enterprise value.

Who arbitrates which NFTs-based claims are respected versus not?

> Future metaverse platforms will partner with high quality communities

How does one decide authenticity?

> That's the whole innovation behind the blockchain. Decentralized ownership claims.

And once you have an answer to such a question (relying on some preexisting system of ownership in the real world), then why should we care about tokens?

> For example, you could care about the token for the specific "metaverse" you're playing in

Who has the authority to say that you are or aren't you?

> I think you're touching on a very philosophically deep question of who you are. You think that the things you are and that you own are inherently yours, but I would argue your stuff and even your identity is all a social construct.

> For example, if you woke up tomorrow and everyone around you collectively agreed to say that you're insane and that you're an alien. Are you going to trust your own memories or are you going to trust the people around you.

> But I think you're missing out on the core innovation of blockchain which mimics the same way we determine who owns anything, which is completely a social construct.

NFTs are country club memberships.

Please read this, and then read up on why everyone is talking about web 3.0.

This isn't a phase of the metaverse that is going to be different because of screen and control technology, it's an ownership and control shift.

Same way you can't just print out a copy of the mona lisa?

People care about status and authenticity.

Imagine a virtual world where

1. You have the validate you are an avatar you own

2. You can be anything you want

The virtual world 1 is way more interesting because it's authentic and the people of status will want to use it and people of less status will build towards being higher status.

This is already happening. You're thinking about this in reverse.

The web 1.0 and 2.0 way of thinking if we build the product, then we own the community.

The web 3.0 way of thinking is there are existing communities out there (BAYC, Punks, etc.) that we can enable to use our product and come into our space.

And this is already happening.

I agree this is one facet, but other is we now have a trustless ownership protocol (ie. cryto + NFTs) that will lay the foundation for people "caring" about the stuff and status you have in the metaverse.
