Historians will write about the 'metaverse' as the last software frontier humanity embarked on before AI.

What a shame. Hopefully capitalism and AI research does not produce equally bad products and ideas.

I do not think historians will write about the metaverse at all.

Maybe it'll be a case study in business schools for a while, but I think that'll be the extent of its legacy

If they mention it at all, it'll be in the context of the C-suite envy about the money being made with Fortnite skins and "virtual assets", resulting in galaxy brain ideas like "buy land in the metaverse" or "own rare art with NFTs".
