Who gives a shit about that? The Internet is an immediately-accessible universe of ideas; that's infininitely bigger than any silly VR-based walled garden, which this oh-so-tediously-obviously is an attempt to create.
So of course the robber barons / garden proprioetors in spe have to try and kill it and replace it with their puny "vision".
Un-fucking-believable how anyone can fall for it.
- okareaman 5y ago"embodiment" really is the raison d'etre of virtual reality. Without it, you might as well explore the internet as usual. I get that some people don't get a rush from embodiment.
- CRConrad 5y ago> I get that some people don't get a rush from embodiment I don't quite get that some do. :-) Heck, aren't we all embodied -- that is, in our actual bodies -- already? (And yes, I have tried it. Only the once, but at a facility with, AIUI, fairly high-end equipment.)
