@cstross "grand theft autocomplete". Now that's the best description I've seen so far.
@cstross "grand theft autocomplete" is very fine.
I'm actually surprised the current AI hype bubble is going to outlive the Metaversa, but apparently the Metaversa just didn't have legs for it.
@cstross @GossiTheDog The thing I like most about the Metaverse is that it flopped hard before it made it impossible to buy some entire class of hardware, like GPUs (Bitcoin) or RAM (“AI”). There’s a lot to be said for hype bubbles that pop early rather than late.
@cstross RIP Second Life 2.0
