Time’s new weekly newsletter, Into the Metaverse, is going to try to make sense of all the noise surrounding the metaverse. The metaverse is an advanced version of the internet that you are inside of—instead of merely looking at. For some, the metaverse is a dystopian world controlled by shadowy corporations. For others, it is a gaming utopia and infinite office. Into the Metaverse will dig deep into the creation of the metaverse as it happens and try to separate the reality from the hype.

Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, said recently that NVIDIA will use its artificial intelligence and simulation technology to build the world’s most powerful AI supercomputer dedicated to predicting climate change. The simulation will be called Earth-2. Earth-2 will exist in the Omniverse, NVIDIA’s version of the metaverse. In addition to predicting climate change, Earth-2 will be the basis of “dual-use” technologies where the technologies used to create Earth-2 or the simulation itself can be used for other purposes ranging from gaming environments and virtual characters to restaurant ordering systems. By spending the money to create Earth-2, NVIDIA hopes to offer the metaverse for free.
