This is a huge opportunity for Unreal as well. I'm surprised they haven't announced some flashy on-boarding campaign.

Bold of you to assume they even went to business school.
All the big wigs I've met were "self-made millionaires" -meaning assholes that used, manipulated and fucked over enough people to reach their current positions.

Also, tax evasion.

It's infuriatingly stupid. It makes me read the same sentence 2-3 times before I understand what they're trying to say.

We have a well established and clear distinction between 'streaming service' and 'streamer', why fuck with it?

What's more, it's double stupid because now both 'streamer' and 'streaming service' means "a company" AND we don't have a word for individuals streaming on the web.

Can you imagine the sheer weight of cognitive dissonance they would experience if it their mind wasn't slathered with industrial-grade denial?

Photoshop has been around for over quarter of a century but you don't need a forensic team to tell something has been photoshopped.
Tools to detect image (and video) modifications have been around and will continue to be developed alongside these technologies. We're simply entering a new era of media creation.

When Photoshop became mainstream, people said the exact same thing, but somehow the world didn't end up on its head.

The entire story surrounding this discovery is a scientific rollercoaster ride, with rogue scientists, updated papers, plus cloudy definitions and process descriptions within the paper that make replication efforts more difficult, and even a Russian soil scientist (and anime catgirl) deconstructing the original Korean paper to unveil the trademark levitation of the Meissner effect over her own kitchen counter.

I can't believe they just dropped all this without any explanation. XD

*gestures vaguely at everything*

It's really messed up how the world can be reduced to binary opinions.

By definition, liberals think more freely and are willing to entertain new ideas. With that of course comes that some of those ideas turn out to be counter productive or straight up bad. Ideally, this is when real liberals acknowledge this and shift to something else.

Conservatives on the other hand see this as a sign of weakness and misguidedness, so they take a stance rooted in what they "know" to be true. When that knowledge turns out to be false, they can't simply pivot because that would make them the same as liberals.

Not to mention, sticking to your guns is so much easier than admitting you were wrong and starting from zero again.

I agree that the “it’s too late to do anything” mentality is just as bad as doing nothing, but at the same time I recognize that the scientific consensus is more and more leaning towards "it really is too late to do anything" in the short term at least.

Certain gears have been set in motion that we truly cannot stop, but there are also other things that we can prevent if we act now.

I just don't know where the line between the two lies.

The next 50 years or so are set in stone, of that I'm certain.
But after that, who knows whether the changes we make today will affect the climate in a meaningful way. One can only hope.

The sad part is, no matter how bad things will get, the same people will keep denying climate change. Even as their shoes melt into the pavement.

Looking at the past, I don't have any hope for meaningful change.
Just last year or so we've had people on their literal death beads denying corona is real.

Interesting, I've never seen that. The opposite happens quite often, though; the question is the same as mine and there's 5 other people in the comments also not finding an answer.

Maybe I'm just Googling for too many obscure missing .dll files and such.

The glasses thing will not happen for a long time, the are just too many limitations with the form factor.

On the other hand, Bigscreen's HMD looks and feels way better than the toasters we're accustomed to strapping to our faces. For that alone, I considered switching from the Index.

What we can hope is that Apple will somewhat normalize VR gear usage and push it further mainstream. They're really good at this and the VR industry could use some more competition. Now, only if they wouldn't patent every screw in that thing...
