I read an article a while back highlighting how many “tech bro” products seem to be about eliminating human interaction, like grocery or meal deliveries, or self-checkout in stores. There is a convenience factor for these things at times, of course, but with the way many of these executives seem to be pushing exclusively using their services and having zero direct interactions with other humans it starts to raise questions about perhaps their own interpersonal skills and why they want to eliminate the human interaction. This feels like more of the same.
I mean, that sounds obvious to me after that one : https://www.404media.co/mark-zuckerberg-ai-chatbot-friends-interview-podcast/
Nevermind having to talk to human people to buy food, the zuck thinks your friends should be AI too.
He also thought his Metaverse was going to be a thing.
It will be, but not necessarily under his control. And it’s going to organically grow over the long haul.
SocialVR is one of the most compelling uses for VR.
Only people who own headsets think that.
Oh, I didn’t realize I was advocating for SocialVR to an antisocialite. Forgive me.
Anyway, this is why headsets need to get much much better. So more people own headsets.
