The Metaverse in Janky Capitalism Now on Dis.art @dis Link in bio “The Metaverse in Janky Capitalism” by Daniel Felstead is presented to us by an irresistibly blasé AI-generated Julia Fox. An expert originator and manipulator of trends herself, she muses on how internet dynamics shape ideological trends in a robotic vocal fry. Capitalism has become janky for many reasons, one of them being the sloppy and frustrating interaction between online and offline life. Facebook sees the metaverse as both an––apparently ugly––mirror of reality and an escape from it. But this vision of digital life completely misses what is actually interesting about it––in terms of aesthetics, content, and possibilities. It’s asepticized, two-dimensional, and uncannily smooth (let’s not forget the original metaverse avatars had no legs or butts). This isn’t because none of the $10 billion in funding went into design, but mainly because a VR headset can’t yet display (in real-time) a world as complex as, say, a PS5 can. So where does the looming metaverse fit into janky capitalism––if it properly should, and will, fuck shit up, then what would be the best way for that to happen? Listen to AI Julia Fox for some grotesque, cringe, messy, perverse, and sublime analysis of the future of the internet.

In the words of an Unreal Engine Julia Fox: “Do you sense that you are living in a world that literally makes no f*cking sense?” Welcome to the club. According to @hadyafif , AI slop is not the death of internet culture, it’s the purest most optimised reflection of it. From thirst-trappy influencers to politicians shaking hands, we are already in a post-slop era of the internet. Must we find a way to navigate or is the goop worth exploring?
