The Economy

VR has been in the, "we're just a couple of breakthroughs away from this taking over the world!" stage for about a decade now, and that breakthrough hasn't come. I think check writers are losing patience.

I know I still can't use VR for more than about five minutes without feeling motion sickness, regardless how good the framerates are.

But also, I'm sure it's the Fed's fault.

 

Trump-supporting billionaire Home Depot founder says 'nobody works anymore' because of 'socialism'

....and "woke people who have taken over the world."

 

It definitely improves every couple of years, but you're right about the headsets still being too big and too expensive, and the "feel" still being too odd, for widespread adoption to happen.

 

Well, that's $10B they'll never see again.

 

Man, I kind of think that's cheap for the potential of that. They already have DALL-E and OpenAI plugging along, and the things it can do are only going to get more robust as time goes on.

 

It IS cheap. ChatGPT is revolutionary, not evolutionary. The things I'm doing with it after just two weeks of use have convinced me of that.

 

While I agree the AI / Machine Learning is a growth area for business, I'd say the things we're seeing now are evolutionary. We arrived at ChatGPT thanks to HG Wells and Fritz Lang and Alan Turing. The History of Artificial Intelligence - Science in the News

Turing's breakthrough paper was published in 1950. https://redirect.cs.umbc.edu/courses/471/papers/turing.pdf

 

I look forward to Ragu’s 5,000-word post refuting this.

 

I'll beat that by a factor of 10^-3 ... "What a crock of shit."

 

Ragu wouldn't know a 3-point hitch from a cattle cube. I doubt he'll contribute much more than a blind support of Big Agra.
