For all of Zuckerberg's bluster about his Twitter-killing clone called Threads, it may end up being a nothing-burger if users figure out how much personal data is being sucked out of their mobile devices used to access the platform. Zuck is a consummate Technocrat who sees no issue with hoovering up your data in return for using his free app.
In the name of "harnessing technology to transform the future of public-private cooperation", the WEF will employ the Metaverse to create the Global Collaboration Village. The WEF claims that it is the first "global, purpose-driven metaverse platform to enhance sustained multistakeholder cooperation and action at scale."

The real world apparently is not ready for corny virtual reality that can thrive only by sucking the last little bit of data from its participants.

Technocrat dreams and hard reality are two distinctive phenomenon. Thus far, the Metaverse is hot air and hype.
Although the metaverse itself is built upon AI, another AI was ask to predict the eventual outcome of "living in the metaverse". The result is similar to the movie series, The Matrix, where humans are unaware of their actual bodies while living in a simulation of pure fantasy. The metaverse is a transhuman experiment to see how humans exist in silicon only.
