How much does one need to go after crypto currencies vulnerable to a 51% attack?
Brace yourselves. The scale of capital investment coming from Meta, Google, and OpenAI/Microsoft is going to be historically mind-boggling.
Microsoft name change incoming?
Are they also working on world peace?
"Some updates on our AI efforts. Our long term vision is to build general intelligence, open source it responsibly, and make it widely available so everyone can benefit. We're bringing our two major AI research efforts (FAIR and GenAI) closer together to support this. We're currently training our next-gen model Llama 3, and we're building massive compute infrastructure to support our future roadmap, including 350k H100s by the end of this year -- and overall almost 600k H100s equivalents of compute if you include other GPUs."
...rendering every competitor's massive investments worthless. Zuckerberg's thinking must be that Meta's competitors are more susceptible to disruption by broadly accessible AGI, and that if everyone has access to state-of-the-art AGI, then no one will be able to gain a new kind of competitive advantage from it.

VR is a gadget, the same way that 4D cinemas are gadget. Ok it's +/- fun the first time to receive water droplets in your face while watching a movie, or for the cinema to spread fake fart smell, but this is not the experience you want to have every day. Apparently only a single-digit % of people who purchased AR headsets are using them once in a month (source: Valve developer Chet Faliszek)
In my opinion, HMD are clearly the future of display tech. VR is something you get for free, with an HMD.

Meta's AR/VR strategy is still the over-arching priority and given how well Quest 3 and Ray Bans glasses are doing shows that it is likely the right one. Especially once Apple Vision Pro ignites the industry. AI will be used to enhance that e.g. generated avatars, autonomous agents, hand/body tracking etc.
> Especially once Apple Vision Pro ignites the industry. I may be repeating my own errors with the following as I said much the same for the iPhone and the Apple Watch when they were new, but… The prices Apple are asking for seem excessive given what the products actually do, surely the cheaper alternatives are going to be what really matters? (In this case, cheaper alternatives would include the Meta headsets).
Everyone is building something, also Tesla is building FSD, I am not sure why journalists decide to give up their profession’s dignity and become CEOs extended PR department Im building a planet
