Sure, I'm cognizant of that too: Ready Player One, The Matrix, Neuromancer. But I honestly don't think that's our most likely future dystopia. For me it's a toss up between Brazil and Idiocracy.
Also: Don't Worry Darling.

I also use dark theme for everything, and I also have a browser extension for that, but I keep disabling/enabling it because sometimes things bug on dark mode. How is to be 14 inches from the screen? I wouldn't feel good being this near to the screen.
I am very near-sighted... it feels good. :) [update: I remeasured in a more relaxed posture sitting back and it's closer to 20" in that scenario]
I've been wearing AVP extensively these past few days, experimenting with using it for all kinds of things. As of now, I don't find it more efficient or seamless at doing much of anything. 1. There is no window management whatsoever. It would be great if I could stick apps to each other, or tile them in a frame, but I can't do that. I also can't stack windows—if I put one window behind another, the only way to access…
> Apple hasn't launched a first-gen product this limited in use since the original iPhone - Apple Watch Series 0 was so underpowered it was borderline unusable. - OSX 1.0 was a buggy, slow, feature-less mess of an operating system. It definitely doesn't seem like Apple minds launching way too early.
This is starting to me remind of when everyone was talking about replacing their Desktop/Laptop with an iPad and a Bluetooth keyboard for their work machine. I don't know anyone who was able to do so successfully.
There are millions more who use it as a content creation tool, despite HN users' insistence of that impossibility.
One of my favorite youtubers (1M subscribers) produces his video content on and runs his channel from an iPad.
This was a great demo, and the spatial computing stuff is cool, but what? He’s showing off that he has a big screen tv playing a video, overlayed over his big screen tv, playing a video without anyone watching it. He shows video playing cooking tutorials in his kitchen when he and his partner are both in other rooms working at their desks. A “note” pinned to his fridge, that he can only see while wearing the headset.…
yeah i dont get the hype, almost everything here should be possible with the quest 3 for 1/10th of the price. Plus you can play games, its lighter, more fov, etc.
Took about 90 minutes for me to decide to send the Vision Pro back.
Cool demo to show friends but I didn't learn anything new from this video. I was expecting something on the lines of how legible text is in the floating mac display, if the interaction between ipad apps/mac apps works well, is it better to use mac or ipad versions of apps, etc.

Well, will it one day support Steam and PC or is this just another closed expensive piece of hardware we'll need to wait for the non-Apple walled garden equivalent?

Unless your definition of "work" is limited to "programming locally" there are millions of people who have replaced their laptop with an iPad.

What makes you think that I would know this youtuber?
