I guess I’m just an out of touch oldster but I don’t understand why anyone would want this and see absolutely no demand for it.

I’ll try it. I do something like this when I do use Ray’s sauce.

In case it isn’t clear (because I’m not entirely sure it is), this is the nonhuman inanimate version. Might be the first case in history where the uncanny valley of the art imitating reality is in the reverse order.

It’s because we have dopey billionaires who read bad cyberpunk sci-fi books* from the 90s were characters are running around in a virtual-reality world. They just assume the future is going to be like that without thinking about it too hard. We’ve had the ability to make virtual spaces like Second Life and no one is really interested in them because navigating the internets with a mouse and monitor is just way better than flying around a virtual room with VR glasses on your head. Nobody wants this but the “futurists” all think we want it.

Are we having this conversation in the metaverse now?
Because if so then the metaverse is basically the dog food version of human interaction from what I can tell. It’s better than being completely alone, but nothing compared to IRL social interaction.

The whole VR headset thing while standing around is kind of a pain. They better get cracking on couch based technology.
My ex liked to mix it with ranch and put it on salads.
This has to be driven by some market research that they’re sitting on showing them that the Facebook brand is toxic as fuck.
While that is true, the product also just sucks? There just is nothing enjoyable about the experience! The people who use it most are just constantly aggrieved or angry.
Seriously what the fuck is wrong with this guy?

Yeah but I think they want to branch out from the basic social media platform and they don’t want their new stuff tainted by the toxic brand.
There are a ton of apps for the Oculus that work while sitting and are perfect for couch based play
Nothing they do will ever remotely approach the money printing they’re doing now by spying on people and targeting ads based on the spying. And their brand is mega toxic among the bottom half of the age distribution. They’re Kodak.
Priscilla Chan has revealed Facebook chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg is teaching their three-year-old to code and has shared the obscure coding joke that drew the couple together.
In a rare interview with The Sunday Times Magazine , the mother-of-two and co-chief executive officer of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) said she shared a similar sense of humour when she met the Facebook founder and he was impressed by the fact she got his coding jokes.
“I remember he had these beer glasses that said ‘pound include beer dot H’. It’s a tag for C++. It’s like college humour but with a nerdy, computer-science appeal,” Ms Chan said.
I think I’m going to be sick.

Everything about Mark Zuckerberg screams comic book supervillain. This VR world he’s creating and trying to force on us is perfectly in line with that narrative. Like, it would be no surprise at all if he wants to record every eye movement people make in response to stimuli he feeds them in order to manipulate and enslave large portions of the population. Like, I’m pretty sure there was an episode of TNG that basically fits this storyline, like there was some VR game that brainwashed the crew and Data had to save everyone. Except in this case Data, ie Zuckerberg, is the one trying to enslave us all.
