Comment on Meta admits its first ‘superintelligence’ was too stupid to survive for three days
p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week agoDunno why you’re getting downvoted. Had a co-worker fully adopt a VR workplace set up, which saved on physical monitors. So the technology had promise, even in a professional setting.

I kind of get it, it’s a thing that was extremely glorified by tech-bros as future of everything, before they moved over to AI, so everyone is alergic to that.
It’s also something that sounds stupid until you try it, and that’s hard to describe, and tbh my attempt to share the experience does sound like your regural run of the mill tech-bro speech, now that I read it again. I don’t think it’s possible to reasonably talk about things like these, because “and then I tried it and I was hooked! Of course it have its problems, but we will solve those” is exactly the techbro speech.
I’m as anti-bigtech as anyone here, and it’s not like I live in VR and believe in the Metaverse, fuck that, and it’s not like I have all my money in crypto and Meta stocks. I just honestly thought it was kinda cool the one time I tried it, and hope we’ll get a more open alternatives once Meta finishes burning money on RaD it needs. Which I definitely can’t say about crypto, AI, blockchain or NFTs.
But, yeah, unpopular opinion and all that.
