It’s almost as if humans think similar things n unique thoughts really aren’t as unique. Hmmmm

haha.. my disappointment was more around why there is no meaningful discussion in any of the forums - did all anyone get from a 2 hour long interview with one of the brightest minds and most successful person of our times, is that he looks and acts like a robot ? Just because he has a billion dollars it is considered cool to bash his physical features and get upvoted.

#174I can see value in the future of VR/AR but I am curious about a few things. - Will there be a balance of open source self hosted VR/AR solutions or will Meta dominate all of this? Along that line do any of the hardware developers provide unrestricted open source SDK's that are easy for developers to integrate into their software? - Will everyone have to be tied into Meta and tracked around everything they do and Meta…
Just commenting, Valve Index (open) and then something like Simula VR (VR desktop) gives you 360 sphere around you open applications eg. editor/browser.
I feel you about VRChat I felt the same (felt old/out of place). Recently tried Zenith bunch of kids. Nothing wrong with that but yeah.
I personally am avoiding meta because I hate that locked in, it's why I'm trying to get into Linux phones over Android (problems with privacy/built in bloat/adware).
As far as an environment for VR like the meta verse, my opinion I think it's a niche right now, guess depends who's around you/your circles. Maybe it's not as rare. Maybe in the future everyone will have a headset like everyone has a phone.
I'm not super against FB though, I found my family (separated long time ago) through their platform so I am grateful for that.

#175How does he even get all these people to come on his podcast?
I think it's because he's genuinely interested in what they have to say, and busy people like Zuckerberg / Musk actually have 2-3 hours of content/ideas they want to get out to the world. They could go on a crappy cable news show for 5 minutes, but they'd rather talk about it for 3 hours in depth. BTW I believe Joe Rogan popularized this format (with some influence from Howard Stern and others, yes Howard Stern chang…

I think it’s usually better to accept someone’s words at face value than to attempt to infer deeper meaning. Ballmer has gone on to say that was one of his biggest mistakes and history agrees. Regardless, there’s many examples of people throughout history finding no value in seemingly pointless technologies only to be proven wrong so I believe the point the quote still stands. I suppose I could always just link to th…
I agree in general, but in the case of CEOs giving public remarks it's safe to assume they are talking their book. Regardless, I don't see it as particularly relevant that people have been pessimistic about technologies that turned out quite successful. For every instance of "they said revolutionary product X was crazy but it turned out to be wildly successful" there are probably a 1000 instances of "they thought rev…
> Whereas I think the value proposition of smartphones was fairly obvious.
As someone who was in the industry at the time, I think you're looking with hindsight goggles on.
In the initial age of smartphones we had Blackberries (email/productivity devices) for business people, then a hodge podge of HTC Windows devices, the Hiptop, etc. There was no obvious path to ubiquity, and they were made for business men or teenagers.
Nothing at that stage indicated either the likelihood of every person in a western country carrying one, common services and businesses switching exclusively to them, the massive quantities of time spent on them or them becoming our primary computing devives.
Fast forwarding 15 years - yes, the value proposition is obvious. However it seems we're in a similar situation with a hand wavey "VR is just for gamers". Time will tell.

Why him specifically? People admire Trump and Obama and they have both sanctioned drone strikes that killed civilians too.
How naive to assume that there is even remotely a comparison. Get back to me when journalists and activists are assassinated
Are you implying that lives lost from the drone strikes are somehow less worthy than those of journalists and activists? Or is it the degree of closeness to the murders? (not trying to troll, genuinely interest since you did not disagree with drone strikes killing humans)
Re: Mark Zuckerberg on the Lex Fridman Podcast [video]
#178FYI: Lex Fridman mentioned on multiple podcasts how much he admires Putin, and how one of his life goals is to interview him. Which apparently will happen soon. He also didn't condemn the invasion, just basically said that "war is bad", as if both sides are equally to blame.
interest != admiration. If you watch and talk about Mindhunter it doesn't mean you admire serial killers.

No, I'm saying that the crimes are different and that to me one is far worse. Drone strikes and civilian casualties are the consequences of America's counter terrorism efforts. Putin having journalists, activists assassinated in his country because they criticize his dictatorship is state terrorism. You can disagree with every aspect of America's foreign policy. Civilian casualties are tragic, and collateral damage is bad. But murdering your own citizens to silence free speech is far more outrageous to me.

Fair enough. I may just be indexing too much on my own experience. It certainly seemed obvious to me in the mid-2000s that ubiquitous computing would be hugely valuable but I was also a nerd into that sort of thing so maybe I shouldn't generalize from that.
