I use VR for several hours a week and I’m under absolutely no impression that it’ll become mainstream anytime soon, and anyone working on this for Facebook has to know that. It’s probably nothing more than an ongoing diversion to delay antitrust regulation that should’ve already happened and hold the attention of…

It’s tech handicapped-to-illiterate people who have stock portfolios. That’s the audience. I know this because I work for one. He thinks the metaverse will be the next big thing because he’s viewing it as a way for facebook to diversify and increase their stock value. More broadly, you have people betting on it’s…

I have a question, who is this service actually made for?

Kids don’t care about facebook, not to mention they have their own digital hangouts they’ve been using for years that are far more developed than this will be.

So is it people in the 30+ category? People who have families or building careers? They are going to…

So the dominant form of “VR” tech is something that using it means you don’t “get” the tech? Sure. You can spend a lot of money for those tiny little monitors in their annoying little face cage. But they’re still tiny little monitors. The fact you put them an inch or two from your eye does not change that.

Well, yes. One is a very small monitor in a cumberson plastic case that must be strapped to your face and (in my case) can cause fairly pronounced nausea and headaches. The other’s a monitor that can be viewed from as close or as far away as your need for ‘immersion’ sits.

Shoot them both, it’s the only way to be sure.

VR Chat: Exists

Let’s tick off the reasons why Horizon Worlds is a failure:
1. As this article points out the graphics are awful.
2. Your avatar does not have legs.
3. You can only create worlds while wearing a VR headset with a terrible user interface. Creators like to spend hours on their creations and the Quest becomes uncomfortable…

It’s the entire “we’re going to make this so EVERYONE MUST ASSIMILATE” angle that throws me.

Gotten a lot better since the alpha version tho. Just check some of the alpha screenshots:

But which one is the REAL Zuckerberg?!

I can computate one million equations per second, but still can not compute this emotion you humans call “love.”

Zuckerberg promises that metaverse won’t be depressing to look at.

The new graphics version of Zuck still looks like shit.

Could be a problem with the source material though.

Five Minutes doesn’t seem like that much time to wait crossing a busy road. I’ll idle in my car for at least 5 minutes at some intersections near me. This particular intersection appears to have an extra cycle where all traffic has to stop for pedestrians, so it doesn’t seem odd that the light to have a relatively…

Every email and word processing software less than 30 years old has basic grammar checks that call out repeat words. It shouldn't be asking a lot from someone whose job is literally to write for a living to use it.

Actually, I read what I want to see.

On the day the guy filmed, Balbo was closed off. Since the intersection is a T shape, and the light turned red, those northbound cars just said fuck it and went through the red since there was no car traffic turning onto LSD. That is why so many blew through. If traffic was actually coming onto LSD they would have to…

Can we change the speed limit to 200mph to stop speeders too.

Between what is clearly an asphalt road referred to as concrete and use of the term “cross section”, I’m starting to think that these posts are compiled by a bad AI.
