The “real estate of the future” is plagued by buggy software, empty servers, and huge opportunities for abuse.
Never would've guessed. In all seriousness, shit like NFTs and the metaverse actually have made me want to re-appraise my attitude towards metaphysics. People have horrible misunderstandings of what is real and what isn't. Or I guess the extent to which certain things are only "real" because people choose to treat them so, and don't exist or matter beyond that.
I became really interested in metaphysics after talking to someone who had a heated gamer moment while arguing over whether Star Wars "Legends" or Disney Canon was "correct."
This partially automated system uses “smart contracts” to automatically execute certain tasks based on votes from community members that hold a financial stake in Decentraland. The more money members have invested in either currency or land, the more Voting Power they get.
One such smart contract governs the banned names list, which can only be modified by community vote. In one instance, the community voted in favor of banning the name “Hitler”—51 votes to 15—but since the vote didn’t reach a high enough threshold of Voting Power, the vote failed and the suggestion was rejected.:yea:
:libertarian-approaching: have wanted this for many years. They truly want dollars to equal votes, and are euphoric enough to argue that it is a good thing.
The fake world full of fake shit paid for with fake money (that you can only buy with real money) is FAKE?
this really is an attempt to make a mainstream Second Life isn't it?
