China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) released a list last Friday of 60 experts from academia, government and business selected by Beijing to define standards for the metaverse.

    A Long March of Small Steps with Quantum Communication Leaps for Systems Control

    But by staying the course and putting its power players behind standards development, Beijing may be playing a longer game.

    With China in LOVE [Live Operational Virtual Environments], that is definitely Beijing playing the Stronger and SMARTR and Greater IntelAIgent Game. Bravo, China, you are most welcome. Nice to see you, to see you, nice.

    And has it been generally forgotten, or did you really never know....

      And that would ideally be Systems Control of Almighty Command[s], so no small thing to fear, dismiss and/or perilously ignore and do warrior battle against, methinks.

      Think thee similarly?

    Maybe finding an actual use for it would be more productive. It's just glorified VRChat otherwise.

    Pretty obvious standards

    Metaverse Standard #1: Energetically Endorse The Teachings of the CCP

    Metaverse Standard #2: Gloriously Rhapsodize Anything Panda Boy Says

    Metaverse Standard #etc: Only the first two really matter.

    If you prefer to hear news on how things are going for a/the Wild Wacky Wicked Western Allied version of that Exotic Erotic Oriental Middle Kingdom treat, feast your eyes on the following informative tale addressing/highlighting Uncle Sam's proprietary intellectual property deficit.

    amanfromMars [2401230825] ..... passes valid comment on https://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/articles/2024/1/23/defense-industrial-base-needs-to-secure-trusted-supply-of-more-than-chips

    [Thank you. Your comment will may be displayed soon after reviewing.]

    If the honest truth be admitted and accepted, David [Schild], the Defense Industrial Base needs secure trusted supply of/for/from a SMARTR IntelAIgent Source ..... given the dire straits, existential threats and expanding problems the current sub-prime product constantly presents the media for virtual realisation.

    And on a fair and easily understood first come, first servered basis, does such a base supply both practically and remotely guarantee any and all customer clients a leading, fail-safe harboured advantage in every field of engagement, deployment and employment, and enjoyment.

    Take a guess .... is all of that originally Chinese translated into English, or English for translation into Chinese?

    And no, it is not Double Dutch, nor nonsense either ..... no matter what some may say and try to tell you. :-)

    If (big if!) something metaversish came into existence, it might make a handy place to meet for those who are less than totally enamored with Winnie the Pooh and friends. Trying to regulate / control it after the fact might be difficult, but if it's built in from the start it will be much easier to do.

    I can't see the need for any kind of metaverse myself, and I very much doubt it will ever come to anything. But if you have the resources of the Chinese government to draw upon, I suppose there's no reason not to get in first, just in case. They might even find an actual use for it, eventually.
