The following report is from the Trends Journal:
Under the guise of “human rights,” Artificial Intelligence (AI) will decide what can take place in the metaverse-or at least Meta’s (formerly Facebook) version of it.
Zuckerberg gave a new demonstration this past week of metaverse technology his company is building.
Together with a tech engineer, he showed how an “empty” virtual space could be filled and created into an island paradise, via voice commands to an AI intelligence.
Saying things like, “Actually, let’s go to the beach,” “let’s add some clouds,” and having landscape and ocean appear, along with a sky and cumulous accents, the corporate billionaire commented admiringly, “that’s all AI generated.”
True, the graphics involved looked like something from a first generation Wii game system.
But Meta is clearly focused on the AI and interfacing technologies that will connect and allow communication and “world-building.” More realistic graphics will come later. So will sensors and wearables that give users tactile sensations, providing a more “immersive” experience.
The presentation made it seem like anything one desired and could imagine would be available by merely speaking it to an AI genie that Zuckerberg referred to as “Builder Bot.”
If that sounds like something out of a children’s TV show, it may not be a mistake. Meta’s infantilizing version of the metaverse will come with a huge caveat: just like in the classic 1960’s sitcom I Dream Of Jeannie, the wish giver will be the one really in charge.
To put it bluntly, there are things Meta’s metaverse won’t allow. Think of those vague “community guidelines” that instill corporate-government narratives and mete out punishments and, if necessary, outright bans to dissident viewpoints and thoughts.
During the demonstration, Zuckerberg couched the implementation of all his ideological biases by a “Builder Bot” as ensuring “human rights.”
But the fast evolving Meta spin up of a virtual world is already inherently unequal, with all the power weighted to a central authority: a corporation, a mega billionaire, and a Federal government which has fully partnered in the monopolistic ascendency of a handful of tech corporations in America.
Zuckerberg himself has said that he believes the Metaverse is destined to be the “the next version of the Internet.”
In the same way that the relatively open internet of the 1900’s gradually gave way to the dominance of a handful of powerful tech social and commerce platforms, Meta’s mega billionaire wants to position Meta as the mediator of that new internet.
No one should be surprised. And a recent ZDNet article underscores that no one should want a part of it:
In a Metaverse, as conceived by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, you cannot even scratch your virtual nose without the permission of a program controlled completely by the company.
Part of the promise of so-called “Web3” or decentralized internet technologies is that users will control their own digital destiny.
Whether it’s how one chooses to store and use the value of one’s entrepreneurial efforts, investments and labor, or one’s digital property, or even one’s digital identity, there are decentralized blockchain initiatives envisioning and building new paradigms and new solutions.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that many of these initiatives, while still very in their infancy, are already disrupting the current status quo of the corporate and government control that has exerted a progressive lock and key on such things in the modern and current digital age.
Whatever else the metaverse will be, it is already shaping up to be a battleground of control and freedom that everyone should be paying attention to, since literally future reality is literally at stake.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[1] Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? [2] And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: [3] But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. [4] And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: [5] For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. [6] And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.Genesis 3:1-6
It’s Satan’s age-old trick that he’s been using over and over again since the fall of man: the promise of being your own god, as the KJB makes clear (not what all other perverted translations say, changing it to say “be like God,” or something close to that). However, it is a bait & switch every single time, as Satan tempts people with that, but in reality he is the one who is their god.
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
2 Corinthians 4:4
While a lot of people in conservative and alterative outlets are laughing at Zuckerberg’s metaverse concept, saying that it is dying out, they are very wrong, especially considering the fact that there are TONS of companies dumping ridiculous amounts of money into this, and entire national governments are getting involved. So to only go after Zuckerberg is quite misleading.
Nevertheless, regulars of The WP know that the metaverse is definitely a fulfillment of Bible prophecy, and a future tool for the coming antichrist – factoring in that this will be finished and ready to use by 2030, where the masses “will own nothing and be happy,” but is obvious all of their “wealth” will be inside this metaverse. But, this metaverse will be an integral part as to how he will receive worship in that coming time.
[8] And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. [9] And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. [10] And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.Revelation 11:8-10

Moreover, Gab CEO Andrew Torba has made it clear that “Christians” need to create their own worlds and “evangelize” those virtual worlds, too. So there will indeed be a religious element to this, as this plays into the Great Awakening agenda to reform and “Christianize” the world in order to bring in Christ back on earth; but their Christ will be the antichrist.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
