Recently, Lex Fridman, a research scientist in artificial intelligence , had a conversation with Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook parent company Meta, on his podcast.
This is a very meaningful topic and also a very interesting topic. What exactly is the metaverse? What will people get in the metaverse? What changes will the metaverse bring to human society? When will people truly feel the charm of the metaverse and the changes it brings?
Zuckerberg said in an interview: The so-called metaverse does not refer to a certain place, but a time point called the "singularity moment". The statement of is derived from the " singularity theory " in the field of artificial intelligence. This theory believes that at some point in the future, artificial intelligence will be smarter and smarter than humans.
In real life, many of us have more or less connections with the digital world, such as online games, online learning, online shopping, online social networking, online office, etc., and with the development of society and technology, our connection with the Internet will surely be closer. until a point in time appears: the main ways people live and spend time will be completed in an immersive digital world, and the metaverse becomes a reality. We are full of expectations and curiosity about this moment.
Will this moment really come? Lex Friedman believes that : The best social media should provide a mirror for humans and reveal the full complexity of the world. It can illuminate the dark side of human nature, through mutual communication, allow each other to understand each other, arouse human compassion, ignite the flame of hope, and ultimately transform into friendship and even love. At the same time, Friedman also admitted: This is not an easy thing.
is indeed the case. The real world we live in is complex, it is not always full of beauty, but also full of human pain. There are still hundreds of millions of people starving around the world, living in extreme poverty; every year, 1 million people choose to commit suicide for various reasons, and 20 million people try to commit suicide; and there are more people who cannot count, who silently endure the suffering they have encountered...
Friedman also said in an interview: He hopes that he can travel to Russia and Ukraine as soon as possible, and be able to talk to citizens and leaders including Vladimir Putin . The goal of a conversation is to understand the person in front of you who talks to you, no matter who they are, no matter what their position is. Because he is convinced that the line between good and evil runs through everyone's heart.
The world we live in is not only full of hatred and violence, but also full of love and beauty. People who operate social networks should show us the world comprehensively and objectively, and give us a stage to show ourselves. This is their greatest responsibility.
The global outbreak of the epidemic and the suffering brought by war. People are eager to get help and relief with the power of social networks, and they also hope to share successful experiences to get more people out of difficulties, and even organize protests and celebrations. A good social network can give us a more objective understanding of the real world, and more importantly, it can awaken our conscience, while a bad social network can create more suffering.
Lex Friedman’s conversation with Mark Zuckerberg is not a cynical attack on real society, but a desire to find solutions to problems in understanding past failures or successful experiences. Although Zuckerberg is often caught in the whirlpool of public opinion and debate, there is no doubt that he is still a person who has dreams and can work hard to realize them. And the metaverse may be one of the solutions to the problem. (Unfinished, to be continued)
Editor's note: This article is compiled and summarized by the author based on an interview conversation about the topic of "meta-universe" held by artificial intelligence research scientist Lex Fridman in his podcast with Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook's parent company Meta. This is a series of serialized articles, and everyone is welcome to continue to pay attention.
The issue discussed by Friedman and Zuckerberg is a very realistic topic. The world we live in is a very complex environment. Although it is full of hatred and violence, it is also full of care and beauty. Everyone hopes to understand the world more comprehensively and objectively through social networks, and also hopes to show ourselves through social networks. This is the greatest responsibility shouldered by social network operators.
However, the huge gap between the real and objectivity between the virtual world and the real world is something that existing Web2 centralized social networking sites cannot solve, such as freedom of speech and related censorship. A few days ago, Musk also made relevant remarks on Twitter "defying his right to freedom of speech due to dissatisfaction with Twitter" and hinted that a new social media is needed to solve the problem.
MetaLife.Social is such a social network that it is a new milestone for Web3 . It embodies the Web3 POD proposed by the father of the World Wide Web and the Fractally proposed by Dan Larimer, the definer of DAO. Personal data and distributed social graphs are stored in the micro-chain of his mobile phone. Users can carry their own data to roam in all applications that follow the MetaLife Web3 protocol, use NFT and DAO to create a creator economy, and provide a web3 open meta-universe interstellar social network with computing that thoroughly protects privacy. Authenticity, objectivity and privacy are all well solved.
