Zuck Plans Deep Cuts for Metaverse Efforts
bloomberg.comThe real meaning of "AGI" is about to be achieved at Meta internally.
So, will they be renaming the company again? "AI", perhaps.
Anyone is delusional if they thought people would use VR headsets outside of gaming and very niche professional applications in this decade.
I got a quest 3 in the spring.
Putting it on for the first time was such a mind blowing experience. It is obviously the future, for about 1-2 months.
Before I tried one, I thought people might not like wearing the headset and that would be a problem. That for me is not a problem at all with the quest 3. It is super comfortable.
The VR experience itself just becomes uninteresting. It is the darnedest thing. That for me was with waiting over 30 years to try VR and the first week it completely delivered even beyond my expectations. Now I can't remember the last time I bothered to charge the headset. All in about 8 months time.
And congratulations, by getting a Quest you now feed even more data into the Meta ecosystem
I wouldn't say delusional. At the top of the decade it did seem like it was a plausible evolution as remote work became more popular, what with the pandemic and everything.
In Ready Player One, what made VR so ubiquitous was that the real world had gone to shit. Perhaps that is the true prerequisite for widespread VR adoption?
Ready Player One is a novel.
Basing our technological predictions off of what was interesting in a sci-fi novel is a terrible way of going about things.
