Some have posited that the much-hyped metaverse isn't necessarily a place but a point in time — and Mark Zuckerberg seems to agree.
Computer scientist and podcaster Lex Fridman sat down with the Facebook founder for a two-hour interview and asked him when a large number of people will start to live out the majority of their meaningful experiences in the metaverse.
Fridman referred to that point in time as a "singularity moment" for the metaverse, referring to the singularity theory in the world of artificial intelligence, or the time when AI becomes smarter than humans.
"A lot of people think that the metaverse is about a place, but one definition of this is it's about a time when basically immersive digital worlds become the primary way that we live our lives and spend our time," Zuckerberg told Fridman. "I think that's a reasonable construct."
