I mean stuff like Meta, crypto and all that obvious scam shit that rich people seem to be diving dick first into lately.
Zuck supposedly spent BILLIONS on Meta, and when you look at the result, yeah, it's clear that the money wasn't being spent on the actual product. So where did that money really go?
Or are billionaires just really that bad with money and ideas?
Something is sus about just how stupid with their money they've become. I mean, they were always stupid, but when you have that much money and power you have to be a special kind of inept to do what Zuck and Musk have been doing to their companies.
I don't think there is a VR "adoption peak" to be honest (well not one worth mentioning)
VR is shit. It's fun for like 15 minutes in games (and only then for people used to video games) but that's about it. I doubt much people want to have meetings "in VR", or go to concerts "in VR". The only use case for VR right now given the state of the technology is probably linked to industrial visualization and the like
It's also something that seems to come back every twenty years or so; every time the people dreaming it up seem to think this time the tech has caught up to the dream; it still hasn't IMO
I disagree. I think VR is pretty rad, but because of the fucked up housing market, it's increasingly difficult to live in a space with enough room to accommodate a good VR setup.
Monitors and phones don't give people tummy aches. Yes, it's cool for giving you a real sense of space, but that starts to drop off once you hit the point where your first instinct is to see how the devs handle your head clipping through a wall.
It’s just antithetical to the way humans have evolved
