It’s pretty bleak yes, our own families sold us out for this shit in their malicious ignorance, I just heard a VA employee tell me an email went out advising all hospital staff to remove rainbow lanyards or stickers or anything “safe space” identifying in their offices, because some patient had complained. This came out while we’re helping my gay veteran friend get ready to die of cancer. Cause he shouldn’t feel safe in the hospital or anything.
It’s kind of unreal that they took something that worked perfectly well for 25 years and then fucked it up entirely overnight, for no good reason.

Interesting. Ok, I will give it another go at some point. I had an Oculus Rift and there was a ton of promise but the tech was just not ready.
Yep I’ve played with virtual monitors in VR space and I don’t even like watching movies on them, the loss in resolution and the way the dynamic aspect of it (using a moving screen to simulate a static screen) makes it a shitty solution. Eventually it’ll be good enough to watch TV in but I can’t imagine doing serious work in it.
The gap between expected behavior and behavior is narrowing each iteration, plus people are starting to understand the limitations a bit better. The things AI does well you’re talking about are being parceled off as AI Agents for monetization and don’t require additional staff to oversee, they’re turnkey solutions.
The headline here is that AI is costing us jobs but not replacing them. And if you’re concerned that AI is a bubble, imagine what that’ll mean when it blows and these companies start faltering and being purchased. This is all mindless disruption with no foresight.

If they would have just kept at it, they’d have put in their 10,000 hours and become experts at finding that dog.
I don’t care too much when it comes to early adopter tech like this, which everyone knows will be obsoleted and laughable in 1 year. But the biomedical devices - we need a law about this, so people who get sense-restoring tech implanted in their bodies don’t get bricked because the company decides the product isn’t viable to bring to mass market.
