Content Moderation in the Metaverse with Open Source

How do you moderate content, and why? What is important to enforce and what are we thinking about?

We talk content moderation all the way to the point of open source licenses for different rules of engagement depending on the space you are in. How we got there is fascinating and important.

Rob’s Hot Take:

In the July 28th Cloud 2030 episode, Rob Hirschfeld delves into the topic of content moderation, emphasizing the need to expand our perspective in two crucial ways. Firstly, he highlights that moderation and amplification are interconnected, emphasizing how platforms have the power to manipulate content visibility, and these actions should be considered moderation. Secondly, he underscores the importance of clear and upfront rules on platforms, advocating for a standardized, open, and transparent approach to content moderation. The episode delves into these aspects, discussing the evolving rules on social media platforms and the necessity for a more informed and standardized approach to content moderation.

PCIv4, NFT, Metaverse, and CRypto! Oh My!

What is the intersection between augmented and virtual reality?

In today’s episode, we discuss changes in payment systems, Metaverse, NFTs and micro payments. All of which have to do with PCI and how we handle process payments.

We had a fascinating conversation about how all of these technologies intersect, and how one can drive another.

Rob’s Hot Take:

In the May 17th DevOps Lunch and Learn, Rob Hirschfeld discusses the use of Jenkins and other CI/CD pipeline tools in day two operations, emphasizing the missing discussions around operational requirements, tooling, and integrations in common day two patterns. The conversation reveals the tendency in operations to avoid discussing or sharing common practices, even when widely used, due to embarrassment or perception of it being the wrong approach. The episode explores how acknowledging and addressing these patterns is crucial for building effective day two operations, offering valuable insights for those interested in DevOps, infrastructure, and automation. Join the ongoing discussions at the2030.cloud to delve deeper into these critical topics.

Does Your Metaverse Take MasterCard or Visa

How are Metaverse environments built? Today we talk about how we use intellectual property to build these Metaverse environments, and who has access to what and who’s going to create it. That turns into a discussion on how you’re going to pay for it.

Typically, Metaverse is framed as a platform, but we got interested in the content, media wars, and streaming platforms. Since we started the conversation at streaming media, that led us to payment platforms and transactions. It was fascinating that we couldn’t talk about intellectual property without also talking about payment and purchase transactions.

Rob’s Hot Take:

In the April 7th Cloud 2030 Podcast episode, Rob Hirschfeld explores the complex dynamics of intellectual property in the metaverse. The discussion delves beyond the ownership of intellectual property itself, emphasizing the crucial role of payment platforms and how transactions for content will be facilitated. Hirschfeld highlights the intersection of payment platforms, cryptocurrencies, and microtransactions, underscoring the potential influence of jurisdiction within the Metaverse on the acquisition, usage, and transactions related to intellectual property. For an in-depth exploration of these topics, tune in to the full episode on April 7th, available on the2030.cloud.

Resourcing the Metaverse (+ Feedback aaS)

What resources does the Metaverse require? In this episode, we think of the metaverse as a distributed environment and ask if it could be owned by the people who are hosting the environments instead of centralized.

One of the complicating factors is figuring out if the Metaverse is AR, VR, augmented or virtual systems. Consensus was that the augmented reality (AR) version of the Metaverse is probably the most valuable and the most accessible for building these systems out. But we kept mixing physical assets and intellectual property assets: the virtual furniture, environments, decorations and things that you would actually put in the virtual environment. While the infrastructure and software that will run the Metaverse is more necessary, the real estate is also interesting.

Stay tuned for a bonus at 48 minutes where we had a good discussion about testing products and giving product feedback as a service

Rob’s Hot Take:

In the March 10th Cloud 2030 Podcast discussion on resourcing the metaverse, Rob Hirschfeld explores the challenge of decentralizing control from major companies like Facebook to empower individuals within the web three movement. The key concern is not only the infrastructure for augmented reality and virtual reality but the expensive intellectual property, such as software and content creation. There’s a critical need for an open and democratic approach to property management in the virtual reality and augmented reality spaces, mirroring the public and open domain management for the internet.
