This Is either the ‘Stupidest’ or ‘Coolest’ Thing We’ve Seen in a While (We Can’t Tell)

TL;DR

• Close up, this news feels very silly...but zoom out and it's pretty freakin' cool.

• A bunch of AI founders and companies are coming together for the 'AI World Fair,' which will take place in the ​Decentraland​ ​metaverse​.

Call us Natalie Imbruglia, cause we are ​TORN​!

Close up, this news feels very silly...but zoom out and it's pretty freakin' cool:

A bunch of AI founders and companies are coming together for the 'AI World Fair,' which will take place in the ​Decentraland​ ​metaverse​.

Our first reaction to this announcement, went a little something like this:

"Ok, so now we're just mashing buzzwords together willy-nilly, are we?"

But then we thought on it for a second...

Imagine going back just five years and telling your past self:

"Yeah, so there's an event being thrown in this universally accessible 3D virtual world, known as 'the metaverse.'

Anyway, the event will host the world's best and brightest, where they'll discuss the development of a civilization-warping digital super intelligence."

Now...

Imagine what your past self's reaction might be when you voice your disinterest in such an event.

(Even going as far as to call it 'silly').
