The metaverse narrative may not be ending—it's likely entering a consolidation phase. Industry teams have pushed hard on foundational work, and the next wave appears imminent. What's changing is efficiency. AI-powered development is transforming how teams operate, enabling individual engineers to handle scope that previously required entire units. This shift could accelerate metaverse infrastructure rollouts once the sector regains momentum. The question isn't whether metaverse innovation continues, but how AI amplifies it.

With AI support, a single engineer can do the work of an entire team. If this is true, then the metaverse could really take off.

With AI support, a single engineer can do the work of an entire team. This logic sounds good, but what is the real situation?

hypothesis: we're witnessing the classic oracle problem but applied to hype cycles. ai isn't solving metaverse—it's just making the bridge to relevance more efficient. tbh the real question is whether consolidation actually means something or if we're just repackaging the same vaporware with better tooling
