Kevin Roose: So let me just make sure I'm super clear on this. So. When you're at home using NEO and there's nobody teleoperating it remotely, it can sit there and talk to you, but it cannot do any of the kind of physical tasks. NEO CEO: Well, I'm getting it. It can. So there's some things that work today. So it can open doors really well and navigate. It can take an object and put it somewhere else relatively successfully. So like I can say, like, hey, NEO, can you take my cup to the kitchen?
I stay on Twitter not because I’ve done the math and decided that I’m not putting money into Elon’s pocket. Or because of some misguided obsession with talking with your enemies. I do it because I think persuasion is possible. The world is not divided into Nazis and the righteous. There are many people in between who are listening. If you decide all they should hear is that “racism’s not hate, it’s clarity,” then by all means, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
A reddit post from peak metaverse hype: cmv: The metaverse is the future and nothing can stop it I find all the hate towards what Zuckerberg is doing, the result of people not understanding the full potential of the metaverse. In my view these people fall in the same category like those in the early 90s who thought the internet was just a fad and wouldn’t have any impact in our way of life. Because like the internet, the metaverse (not necessarily Zuckerberg’s version) is the future of mankind. Future generations are going to look back at how we live now and they will see it as the Stone Age of technology. Watching a movie on a screen and actually not being in it, will seem archaic like peeking through a window. Attending any kind of class for anything at any level anywhere in the world will not just be feasible but for example the dance teacher will look at your body movement and correct your feet as if you were actually there. While the internet connected us at an information level, the metaverse will actually place us there for “real”. Attend events, shows, travel anywhere, go back in time, work full time, meet all kinds of people, go out on a date in Paris, race formula one cars, swim with sharks, have doctors examine you, I could go on and on and on and still not cover what will be possible in the future. All from the comfort of your bedroom. If it will be beneficial or not for our psyche as humans, is a whole other story like the case is today for social media. But this is the natural evolution of technology and like it or not, it’s coming and will transform our lives forever.
A stroad. A horrible nothing-place that shouldn't exist, filled with nothing but signs, car exhaust and hot asphalt. The one person outside of a vehicle looks like they are on the cusp of death.
