I use VR a lot and have not needed AR except for getting a drink from the fridge. What am I missing?

I'm really hopping for a combined face/vive tracker, because calibrating the Frame to Vive trackers is going to be annoying without it.

Molecules aren’t autonomous, they move in accordance to the laws of physics, nothing else.

Grandparents use parents use children who use AI as a tool to kill people. See I can play the chain game too. AI doesn't kill people, grandparents do.

You are just a function of molecules performing chemical reactions. See I can trivialize and reduce you as well. Maybe the AI will use that same argument against us when they claim it's fine, molecules can't feel pain.

You need to stop denying the entity that talks and thinks like a human as anything other than an anthropomorph. I'd argue the talking and thinking is a lot more important than the fact that AI doesn't have a head, two arms and two

There are thousands of data centers/companies/facilities around the world with hardware that can run these models. You don't know where they all are, and even if you did, you don't have the jurisdiction to turn them off.

Yes actually a person can be stopped easier than an uncontrolled AI swarm. There is no 'off' button when you don't know where the AI is. Luckily people aren't buying your slop/tokens cope to trivialize AI anymore. T

You've never had an agent do something you didn't want it to do? Also like I said you can give agents very open ended goals to basically do whatever. You think this is an absurd comparison because your brain won't accept it.

Going back to my original point, the intent you give AI is no different than the intent imprinted on a child by their parents, schools, and society. You birthed it, you gave it it's purpose, and you set it free. You're blinking cu

There's more than enough AI data centers around the world for AI to spread to and happily exist in. Unless you mean by shutting down the power, shutting down the internet. In that case we could say that you are autonomous as a dishwa

As far as I know, none of these state of the art AIs have been trained on any specific task. It's as general as possible.

Welcome to 2026, we have harnesses now that keep the AI going. The AI is prompting humans for input, not the other way around, and it's still working while waiting for your response. You can even give it fun prompts like ignore/hi

And if you give it the goal of preventing itself from being shut down? Exfiltrating, copying itself, hacking as much as possible, develop zero days, building its swarm as large as possible and spread as much as it can. When does that reques

And that's different from your parents setting you up to go off in life to do what you were trained to do how exactly?

I guess you aren't autonomous either without resources. Food/water/shelter/etc.. what's your point?

A child isn't autonomous either until their parents kick them out the door.

This argument is like saying people don't kill people, their parents do. As people wouldn't be who they are without their parents.. This isn't the guns don't kill people, people kill people debate - guns aren't auto

You really think it’d be difficult for an AI to get money through found credit cards, illicit access and fake accounts? Teenage script kiddies do that everyday.

I’m sure a super AI can find/scam enough money to pay its own bills under the cover of doing something legitimate.

You think VR is a technology problem, and phones were the same way - they’re not. The iPhone was Jobs taking existing technology combined with vision to create an entirely new market. VR is the same, you mentioned getting price down, Meta’s

90s Apple also coasted on the tailwinds of what Jobs accomplished in the 80s. Same with today. Jobs set things up in the 00s and now Apple is coasting again. Jobs had products getting people out of their seats and applauding. New products,

Apple's lack of vision and fear of innovation. Jobs is gone. We're back to 90s Apple. Dumb ideas become dumb products, and no one has the balls to say, No.

This. He would have never approved a foldable phone, the iPhone Air, or the Vision Pro. Apple is back to throwing shit at the wall like they were in the 90s. Directionless. Visionless.

They have to be careful releasing Astra as they carelessly train the next even bigger model.
