Nowhere GirlCapitalism is so efficient at allocating resources that Microsoft, Apple, and Facebook have spent billions of dollars on "AI," VR, and augmented reality headsets that cost too much, mostly don't work, and nobody wants.
It's amazing, really.
Mike Elgan@gwynnion Do you imagine they'll give up and we'll never have AI and VR, or do you think they'll keep developing these technologies until they're ubiquitous?
@MikeElgan I highly doubt they will ever achieve true AI, at least by this route.
They can probably get VR / AR done if they can micronize the technology and the power pack enough and address the ubiquitous motion sickness.
The real problem, I think, is whether it does anything we need as opposed to being just another vector for surveillance and data collection.
Some people who've tried these devices think they're neat but they still struggle to find a use for them.
