On November 5th, Luo Yonghao reposted some of Shaan Puri's views on the metaverse, saying that the views are very profound, and asked netizens to forward and spread them.
"This is much more reliable than Zuckerberg's metaverse concept... Our next entrepreneurial project is actually a so-called "metaverse company";
This is the case; due to Luo Yonghao's past experience and the "next entrepreneurial project" and other information revealed in the words, this wave of operations has aroused a heated discussion among netizens. Compared with paying attention to what Lao Luo said, netizens care more about Lao Luo. What Luo is going to do, they all marvel at Lao Luo's efficiency in repaying debts, and guess how much he plans to lose this time, and next time he will play live broadcasts to pay off debts? Whether Lao Luo can hold on to the throne of the "industry ghost" this time, it would be more practical than directly broadcasting the stock offering to start a business. As the saying goes, you can't do anything, and you will be the first to eat melons.
Luo Yonghao then responded: "I posted a post in the morning and reposted Shaan Puri's metaverse view (original post in English). His ideas are completely different from the current vulgar understanding and hype of the metaverse, and he has very deep insights. I morning What I want to express is that starting from his definition, most IT companies are actually leading us to the Metaverse..."
For this topic brought up by Luo Yonghao, let us take a look at the identity of the protagonist Shaan Puri in the topic, who dares to challenge Zuckerberg. According to available information, Shaan Puri served as the CEO of the social platform Bebo from 2017 to 2019. Bebo, founded in 2005 as a social platform, even defeated the myspace website in the UK. In 2008, it was acquired by AOL for $850 million However, bebo was shut down in 2010, went bankrupt in 2013, and was finally acquired by the two founders for US$1 million to transform live broadcasting games. At present, Bebo has ceased operations, and it seems that there is not much to say about the subsequent experience.

What kind of views did Shaan Puri express, which won Luo Yonghao's approval?
The first idea successfully attracted the attention of the public, interpreting the concept of "metaverse" into a more abstract concept - "singularity", this "singularity" is not the existence of the universe before the big bang in theoretical physics It is a form of singularity, but a stage that the development of artificial intelligence mentioned in the field of artificial intelligence will go through. When AI promotes AI, artificial intelligence will experience explosive growth, but both express explosive growth. The critical point before the qualitative change is only in different fields.

Shaan Puri’s view of replacing the concept of “metaverse” is understandable. After all, this is a personal opinion. If you don’t play the difference card, no one will look down, but if you don’t, then you must think that the two are different, Zach The concept given by Berg is more inclined to construct the concept of "space" that can or can be imagined for the general public. It does not mean that the Metaverse can only be a game if it is applied to a game-like model. This is just the current form of expression. The development of the metaverse is infinite; and the concept given by Shaan Puri is to replace the relatively more vague concept with the original relatively clear vague concept.
It sounds like a tongue twister, but in popular logic, Zuckerberg described the concept of the "Metaverse" for the public with a 3D stereoscopic experience panorama rendering, while Shaan Puri drew an abstract painting with a pencil . The former is afraid that the public will not understand, so let us see it with our own eyes through application scenarios, and the latter is afraid that the public will not understand, so we simply let the public not understand. Although the difference between the two is exaggerated here, it is actually just to reflect that the two experts have interpreted the concept of "Metaverse" for the public in a concrete and abstract way, and the concept behind it is still the same. Let us continue to see how Shaan Puri explains this "singularity".

This part of the point of view is actually returning to the conventional concept, which means that people's lives are constantly being digitized as they progress, from identity, entertainment, communication methods, and work forms, to online bit by bit, from paper files to paperless. Office, from jumping grid and rolling hoops to fortnite, from door-to-door visits to Twitter, Facebook;
People have developed from early TVs to computers, computers to smart portable devices (generally referring to mobile devices), and from smart portable devices to wearable virtual reality interactive devices, and their attention to the real world has also declined. The ratio of online time to real time is rising. I think what he wants to express is that when people's attention ratio to the real world continues to decline until the digital world accounts for 99% or even higher, that is, the time point when digital life becomes far more important than real life, "Qi point" appears.

Except for the "singularity" theory at the beginning, Shaan Puri's views are widely recognized, including this view on the important position of NFT in the concept of "Metaverse" is also widely accepted in the market. agreed conventional arguments. It is understandable that Shaan Puri's concept of "Metaverse" is not unique, but more abstract. He expresses the inevitable trend of social development of "Metaverse" through the reflection of the past;
Of course, this does not deny Zuckerberg's "metaverse" concept. After all, Zuckerberg is the one who is proving the concept through practice. "Metaverse" is a direction for technological development. Zuckerberg just gave him Put on a vest that is more acceptable to the public, just like Lao Luo said in his reply that "games are just games", but Zuckerberg seems to have never said that "the metaverse is just a game", but a "tangible Internet". . Are you looking forward to the development of "Metaverse", or are you paying more attention to Lao Luo's entrepreneurial projects?
