Metaverse
VR doesn't have a system seller, and even though they have nice games, one hasn't gone over the top. Because of this, VR is a large niche.
An entire conference went Metaverse crazy.
Meta starts investing in AI projects, and drops Metaverse program.
AI
Awesome AI videos are an affront to the art form. People spent years learning how to do this, and now some guy can do it at home easily!?
A video shows how to design using Photoshop, a 3D program, and diffusion. I especially like this because it's my method. I've been doing this for a month now and have some ideas on how to take it further.

Tech: Brain Computer Interface
BCI is a device that follows brain patterns and then performs a task. Stanford created one to help people with speech problems to be clear. It's at 62 words a minute. This isn't fast enough for a seattlite, and way too fast for an Idahoan.
You can build your own BCI using raspberry pi and this small add on.

The governor of Illinois is an upstanding guy, who says isn't running for president. I repeat, he's not running. We should have more guys like him.
