Virtual worlds, virtual reality and games, will be the hope for the future

Think about it.
AI will fix all problems related to the real world.
When everything is fixed, where do we find challenge and meaning when it isn't tied to survival due to AI fixing everything?

Well, Virtual worlds, virtual reality and games.
That will be the only place we can construct rules and environments where we challenge ourselves, face challenges and get achievements.
When all achievements tied to the real world is gone.

It is the end of the real world, in terms of nothing will be needed to be done by us anymore. Which means our next fronter is the virtual world to find meaning and challenge and fun.

Dude, AI hasn't fixed all of my problems...it's just made them more managable since I don't feel alone dealing with them and I don't shoot myself on the foot since I can vent to AI, and it can create a beautiful email that goes somewhere out of it.

That's just the start of it.
AI Agents are starting to get created now: one AI you talk to that can connect to all apps you use: Gmail, Documents, Phone, Whatsapp, Instagram, x.com, etc.
You can tell the AI Agent to do anything.
Change design on a website.
Pitch a product to x companies.
Represent you in a meeting.
Then comes AI robots that can do all manual work.
AI robot as an assistant in your house to do chore.
It's just a matter of time.
So what then?
Virtual worlds. Create new things. New experiences. Whatever AI can make in those worlds aswell.
Just my belief, we will see what happens.
Personally I feel an existencial dread of the thought of there being no "need" for me in work. But the potential that lies in virtual world for the future gives me some relief.

AI lacks trees, nature, sunlight, a brisk walk in the sun or park, weight lifting at the gym, meditation, yoga, tai chi, reading an actual paperback book which is a more organic experience, a Man date with a good buddy, martial arts dojo work out, wearing a cool blazer with a fedora hat and smoking a cigar in a cafe patio…we still need organic and natural things in our lives, go outside and live lol

Virtual worlds...they currently have youtube apps on the current Meta Quest VRs that have 360 degree and 180 degree views. I've visited places like Vancouver, Gold Coast, Australia, Dubui UAE with it's funny towers, seen brilliant Aurora Borealist in northern Norway, been on Hot Air balloons, falling with skydivers, seen a Russian ice breaker....to be sure, there have been some really nice experiences using VR. You can also play 360/180 degrees of model looking women like they are right next to you. I'm using the Quest version 2 (ie they have a nicer version out with pancake lenses and better viewing angles and resolution than what I have now).

If you can rich parents and can afford to travel, have gym memberships and visit places, that's great. Reality always beats VR. But if you are poor but have tech, then this is a good middle option.

By the way the above places I visited in VR was back in 2024. I haven't used VR in 2025 or this year to visit places (ie for personal reasons I've stopped that). That means even with the passage of time the memories of using this VR is entrenched enough to write about it today. I remember in 2023 I visited the Philippeans a number of times on VR as well and was walking around Manilla. The city looks modern like any Western city. I also remember visiting France, I saw a river with tourists.....also Haggai Sophia in Turkey was quite an experience too. I'll stop here.

It's pretty funny that people believe the billionaires, who are using AI to turn themselves into trilionaires, are doing it all so they can build a future utopia to share with you filthy poors. It's like Animal Farm where they get promised a future retirement that never comes.

Unlikely.

Meta poured billions and billions into the "Meta verse" even changing their name from Facebook to Meta hoping to capitalize on it, and it was a giant flop.

Recently they essentially laid off most of their employees who were working on that and essentially "gave up" on it even after pouring all those resources into it.

Like everyone else, they are pouring money into AI resources now so as not to fall behind.

Anyone who thinks this is already living in the matrix.

We may actually all be living in it. There are some scientists who think they have found definitive proof that we live in a simulation.

The “Second Law of Infodynamics” could prove it.
