          Since there is still nothing actually worth calling “metaverse” as the sci-fi concept it was promised to be, they might go for something around AGI.

        I’m going to guess they’ll keep it and justify it as “metadata”. Like the metadata of it’s users that it sells

        It was “Meta”, but now they’re going all-in on AI, so they’ll probably want to go “MetAI” except that it’s lame and so are all the other various portmanteaus, so they’ll pivot to something inexplicable and wild like “Everything” or “AllAI”
