lol, and it’s probally because someone got through to him that most of these projects look impossible to finish in a reasonable timeline. And that there is not yet proof that the demand will be there for what they are specifically building at the end of the timeline.

He gets to act like he’s making a compromise when really he’s just covering his ass.

3D video isn’t a stepping stone for VR. It’s just one application that VR excels at.

It’s like saying photographs are a stepping stone for screens.

For the 3D video one, VR headsets perfected it. It’s actually awesome now. And looks the best on the newest devices like the Vision Pro.

But, VR devices are slow to catch on.

Anyway. I say this to just note that 3D movies and video has continued to improve despite the format supposedly being dead in the eyes of your average consumer. Apple currently has the largest 3D movie selection ever assembled from one vendor. And it’s the only place to watch 3D in 4K. Blu-ray does not have a standard/specification that supports it.

3D movies have been around for many many decades. And only recently have they become “perfected” from a visual fidelity POV. The hardware form factor needs more refinement though. I’m just reinforcing your point about how at least one of the technologies has not and will not go away.

Any of the companies framing it as a utility hope you don’t think too deeply about it.

Just more marketing for the NSA. Oh wait.

I hope someone leaks/lays out how it went down in detail.

You can’t “rebrand” a month. Every month has multiple things people have attached to it. Most days of the year too.

It’s definitely intended to be an opposing cultural event though. But like most conservative culture of this sort, it’s pathetic, and won’t really go anywhere.

I guess so. But the original definition was useful and encapsulated a specific thing. And then everyone discarding that definition is a bummer. But it’s not like there is anything to be done about it. And Doctoro has said he’s not too annoyed by it himself.

Calling what I posted marketing is hysterical nonsense.

I’m not talking about ignorance here, just one of the facts about how Microsoft was being shitty.

Are you defending Microsoft’s choice to be shitty? Or just excited to share how you knew better?

Then at best your comment was off topic and not about this video. Start a new meta thread.

I would have thought you understood social media bubbles were bad, though.

Spot on. And pointing at AGI or the singularity as the boogeyman instead of the handful of powerful men trying to capture a tool of authoritarian control is really obnoxious to see. People like Sam Altman and Elon Musk just want control of information flow. Among others.

I don’t see “fanboys” here, I see more nuanced posts of differing views.

Does the sub have a rule that its pitchforks and cheerleading only here? Sounds boring. It’s boring just like how reading the 1000th Lemmy comment that says “this is why I pirate on my Linux box.” Is boring.

Shallow cheerleading won’t help the fuck ai cause, honestly.

I ran across “tender shaped chicken” from Walmart’s “Better Goods” brand recently. 😩

I’m here to just say it is worth your time. This and Hypernormalization are Adam Curtis’ best works. IMO.

That word is only used correctly about 5% of the times it is used.

Well, the point here is the deception. So, if you can find a similar link from the past from Microsoft…

Microsoft was deceptive here and never made it clear exactly what sort of deal you were getting with the flat rate. There was no indication of the actual magnitude.

Sounds like all the other posts across AI subs where someone is like “when doing XYZ with AI you often run into ABC problems. So, that’s why I vibe coded something….”

In some AI subs on Reddit, this is like 1/3 of the posts.
