This post summarizes a white paper from the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies (the paper is locked behind a spamwall requiring you subscribe to their newsletter). It's interesting because of the summaries of four possible futures of the metaverse: the free 'verse, the nerd, The disunited or one Metaverse to rule them all. The article projects some version of the latter two. "The open-source community has fallen on hard times because authorities demand governance and certification that the decentralised open-source organisations find it difficult to live up to, such as checking all content against copyright and trademark violations and policing forums against hate speech and fake news. Most successful open-source systems have been de-facto acquired by commercial interests that can afford to handle the complex and extensive regulations." I find this a very interesting assertion.
