Creating the Metaverse isn't about escaping the real world, it's about extending our capabilities and giving us a place to practice making the real world better. teapawt.net/Mantia/status/10135597…
The @NPR thing is the last straw for me. I hung in for a bit, but this is too much. Much love and thanks to all for 15+ years. ❤️

Today is the 10th anniversary of the Oculus DK1 shipping & the modern resurgence of consumer VR.
I interviewed @PalmerLuckey last month reflecting on the early days of consumer VR & how affordable & easily accessible VR dev kits catalyzed a new industry.

I interviewed @PalmerLuckey on the past, present, & future of XR.
He says @anduriltech has more people working on VR than Oculus did when acquired.
We talk about DK1, early days of VR, Valve fallout, why he got fired by Facebook, & perceptual augmentation

"OpenAI has made GPT-3 available as a paid service but has not shared the model itself or its code....OpenAI declined an invitation to comment on Meta’s announcement."
