>>730855439You know "AI" (aka glorified chatbots) is in trouble when the venture capitalist money thought VR was a safer bet.
>>730855439>Reality Labs has 15,000 employees>In comparison, Sony's Playstation division has 12,700 employees and Nintendo has 8,200.What the FUCK do they all do??
>>730855623it's saying the opposite though
>>730855623At least normies actually know about and want to use AI. Nobody except giganerds ever even touched VR
>>730855703this. i can walk an retard to host an AI waifu in like 10 minutes with any laptop or phone. the barrier for entry to be excited about AI is very low.how the fuck are you supposed to get people excited over VR when the hardware is insanely expensive?
>>730855439Holy shit, can the zuck please kill AI hype the way he did VR?
>>730855439>VR failed>VR headsets still releasing, games still selling millions, Metas VR division still employs over ten thousand, etclol. OP trying hard for bait but facts are facts, VR is doing fine. Only poor people are avoiding and ignoring it
>>730855703>simtard audience is smol>lots of simtards hate it>literally only has broader appeal to FPS players>lots of FPS players hate it>normals unlearned socializing after covidwhat kind of crack do they smoke
>>730855439Fecesbook acquiring Oculus is precisely what killed the VR hype.
>>730855439And the Faceberger is one of the primary reasons for that failure. I'm glad the faceberger "metaverse" hellscape failed though.
>>730855806>250 dollars is insanely expensive
>>730855651Literally nothing.They exist so that the company can say>Good news! After a good fiscal quarter we hired x000 employees to work on something for more growthor>Sad news! We had a bad fiscal quarter, but we can lay off x000 employees to maintain growthThey exist to inflate that number of hires and layoffs.
>>730856327The quest 3S is kinda ass though.And being affiliated with Meta is the biggest turn off imaginable.
>>730855675No, the pivot is purely because it's the newer thing. We'll be reading the same headline in 5 years. Except they'll be laying off their chatbot department to pivot towards the next biggest thing.
>>730855439He's always chasing the next trend.
>>730855439At this point the main thing preventing VR from pushing any sub-4K large form factor flat panels out the picture entirely is the reliance on phoneslop practices pushed by Meta, like Android and app stores.With Meta's waning influence (their current lineup is mostly just riding out the last wave of Carmack's contributions in tard-wrangling) and Valve pushing for standalone that finally ditches all the phoneslop, I can see VR accelerating again.
>>730855439Again? You telling slapping 2 screens on your face was a good idea?
Normies don't like chunks of plastic on their faces, or first person sea sicknessMario kart and candy crush are just fine. VRs market is autists, incels and perverts
>>730855439I loved htc vive back then
I realize all these guys are really unlikeable people who should be lynched.
>>730855439Are you telling me that nobody wants to buy an overpriced microwave you have to strap to your head to experience migraine, vertigo and nausea?
b-but what about the land I just bought in the Metaverse?
