So it seems reasonable to be pessimistic about a potential beneficial outcome, given these conditions.

The quest for meaning is perhaps the lifeline for Meta's VR ambitions. If there's nothing left to do in the real world, people will get lost in endless generative content.

Humanity ends with people playing VR farming simulator.

Why does it matter that it’s a headset? People already do this on their phones.

Well that is an interesting take. I would not say it is implausible.

I think video games already are this for a lot of people. I realized this while attempting to clear all the question marks in Skellige in Witcher 3, and I watch the games my nephews play and there is just so much grinding for loot. It really has in a lot of ways replaced having a part time job for them.
