Having worked on adjacent problems every day for 10 years, maybe my opinion counts for something (or maybe not). But I think the top game of the 2030s will be something like AI Minecraft or AI Steam, where everything, including the very rul

As a developer who has worked on building the best version of the metaverse for 10 years, I find this article extremely offensive, and I also agree with it. The wave of hype around the tech has honestly been surprising to me. Me and my frie

Thanks for that site, bookmarked. However, I'd counter this. As someone whose company has been using WebRTC for years, WebRTC is just too complicated, trying to do everything, and as a result bad for its main use case: a comms interfac

You can ask an AI and get some amazing stories out as a result (I've tried and it works). That also seems like a fairly Solarpunk solution to the problem.

It wouldn't surprise me to learn that my CPU had feelings, if the CPU was created in a million year evolutionary process in which the lack of appropriate subjective feelings would have resulted in its death.

From the article it seems FB and NL took very different approaches -- Facebook is against cutting skulls. I don't know where this will land, but we could argue that Facebook is being unrealistic and true consumer BCI does require an im

I prefer to think of this as a trillion dollar capital allocation problem being solved. There's $1T+ of cryptocurrency held doing mostly nothing, and investors rightly want to put it to work. That is what spawned NFTs, crypto art, DeFi

Shameless plug, but for WebXR on Magic Leap github.com/webmixedreality/exokit has been the go-to for a while. I wrote it because I found browsers too slow to move on features like html to texture (powered by webrender) and multi-s

In their marketing it means a peripheral for the device. For better or worse, Magic Leap PR is apt to invent Words.
