The Minds That Imagined the Metaverse and VR
summary
Traces the metaverse back to sci‑fi roots then pivots to concrete infrastructure: a new layer‑one chain (Lamina1) and a Sigma template of smart contracts aim to monetize creator work by building value chains from a sketch to usable Unreal/Unity assets; AI tools like GPT/DALL·E/Codex and game engines are the actual tools named, with recent models “working” now. Proposes data dignity — paid, unionized data inputs for AI. Predicts one bold outcome: every 12‑year‑old good at calculus in 40 years.
