Well, virtual reality makes a come back, why wouldn't AI?

  On the one hand, yeah, Occulus Rift. On the other hand, I have a hard time thinking that anyone's going to treat virtual reality as all that cool after having seen The Matrix. Our culture now perceives "virtual" as something you're trapped inside, hiding you from the "real", rather than as a pleasant place to spend an afternoon shooting zombies.

    Well people still think that NASA Mars mission is kind of cool even after seeing Star Trek and Star Wars. I didn't have a console, PC or powerful laptop for about 6 years. Next year I am going to buy one of those to go with my Oculus. I have tried it on one of the expo's for about half a minute. It's not super mind-blowing as I am spoiled, but it delivers what was promised and it is affordable. And now with Carmack working on it it gives me a hope of good old Doom times coming back (I want to fight demons not fashionable enemies of the moment). It's going to be as usual: first hackers get it, then geeks, then it becomes a mass pop-phenomenon.

      I don't mean that VR is now uncool. I mean it's now frightening.
