I started digging into Futureverse, trying to understand how a claimed unicorn could two years later be worth minus forty million. Feat: Keanu Reeves, UFOs and the world’s largest pile of NFTs.

Futureverse announces restructuring two years after raising $54 million

https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/?id=futureverse-announces-restructuring
Futureverse announces restructuring two years after raising $54 million In 2023, there was no shortage of buzzy press coverage for Futureverse, which promised to build a metaverse and gaming-focused blockchain. They partnered with Ready Player One author Ernest Cline to build the "Readyverse". They partnered with the estate of Muhammad Ali to build an "AI-powered" boxing game (with NFTs!) They partnered with Rebook to build a "virtual sneaker design experience", where customers could design sneakers to equip to their Fortnite or Roblox characters. That year, the company had raised $54 million in a Series A round led by 10T Holdings and Ripple Labs. They made even more money from token sales to retail investors. As recently as this year, Futureverse was earning spots on "most innovative company" lists. In April, they announced they'd be acquiring Candy Digital, an NFT company created by Mike Novogratz, Gary Vaynerchuk, and others (which itself had raised a $100 million series A in 2021 But now, Futureverse has announced they've "made the difficult decision to begin a restructuring of the business". Focusing only on the AI portion of their business, and conspicuously omitting any mention of blockchains, NFTs, or metaverses, the company says they "recognize that adjustments are needed to ensure the long-term sustainability of our vision." Futureverse locked comments on the post, likely to try to dodge angry community members who accused the company of stealing from them or rug-pulling.

If you're using future::availableCores(), please replace it with identical parallelly::availableCores() instead 🙏(to warnings)

I'm cleaning up the future API: availableCores(), availableWorkers(), makeClusterPSOCK() & supportsMulticore() moved to parallelly in 2020

Possible a new record for me;

CRAN submission of {futureverse} took just six (6) minutes from start to finish 👏

What if, hear me out, Atlanta officials focus on building sidewalks, repairing sewers, expanding voter-mandated transit projects, dismantling surveillance cameras, preventing school closures, and avoiding costly taxpayer-funded settlements towards victims of police violence right now?

Thank you all for an amazing #user2025 conference!

At my useR! 2016 talk on #future I had a wish for a P2P #parallel processing in #RStats. Nine years later, I presented

#Futureverse P2P: Peer-to-Peer Parallelization in R

at #useR2025 (www.futureverse.org/talks.html)

photo by @schloerke.com
Presentation slide titled 'Futureverse P2P: Peer-to-Peer Parallelization in R – Share compute among friends across the world.' Includes the presenter’s name, Henrik Bengtsson, affiliation with the University of California, San Francisco, R Foundation, and R Consortium, along with social media icons and handle @HenrikBengtsson. Shows the Futureverse logo in the top right and an illustration of three people using laptops connected via a globe with location markers. Event: useR! 2025, Durham, NC, USA (2025-08-10). Henrik Bengtsson giving a presentation on the R package future.p2p. A slide is projected showing an example of parallel processing in R, comparing sequential calculations versus futures. Henrik is standing to the right, smiling, holding up a raffle ticket numbered “155” in one hand and a plastic container in the other. Several attendees are seated facing the screen, and large windows in the background reveal trees outside.

This is gibberish.

What are they actually making? At best, a video game with cryptocurrency microtransactions. That's if they even actually make anything at all.

In reality, all these buzzwords are meant to signal to investors to grab their money and run.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Futureverse, a leading AI and metaverse technology and content company, backed by world-class investors, announces today its biggest news to date: the formation of Readyverse Studios, a first-of-its-kind studio co-founded by Futureverse Co-Founders Shara Senderoff and Aaron McDonald, as well as Ernest Cline, the best-selling novelist and renowned creator of the groundbreaking franchise Ready Player One and Dan Farah, Ready Player One film producer. Readyverse Studios is building the definitive destination for fans to explore their favorite stories and IP in the metaverse, leveraging web3, metaverse games and experiences, augmented reality, and virtual reality technologies.

Yes, it's coming (www.futureverse.org/roadmap.html). I'm aiming at making it fully automatic.

The complication is that it only works when parallelizing on the current machine. Bc futureverse supports any type of backends, we need to add a way to know if a backend is local or not
Project Roadmap – Futureverse
Lots of backward-compatible improvements and extensions ahead

Memory management is tricky. The Futureverse Resource Project (www.
futureverse.org/roadmap/resources.html) is a proposal for addressing some of it.

On Unix, if the out-of-memory (OOM) killer kicks in, it's game over...

Thanks to excellent feedback from several users, it'll soon be even easier to distribute #rstats code via #HPC job schedulers using future.batchtools
