The way I see it, if AI and CGI replaced writers and actors, we'd simply end up with an endless onslaught of soulless corporate drivel somehow worse than what Hollywood churns out now.
With that being the case, I reckon we'll see a resurgence in true independent cinema from people with an actual passion for the process.
Manufacturing jobs disappear because of automation: silence.
Mining jobs disappear because of muh environment: silence.
Writing jobs at risk from AI: also a fair bit of silence.
It's not until the rich and famous are at risk of losing their careers that people start to take notice.
Hollywood's best days are behind it, and the 'stars' now are effectively NPCs anyway so nothing of value will be lost.
From the look of things they're positioning it as a replacement or supplement to a laptop. It has the same processor as their updated Mac line, with a co-processor for all the tracking gubbins.
So you were right on; it's a MacGoggle.
You know what it reminds me of? Remember that scene in Jurassic Park where Lexi 'hacks' the computer system by navigating through a cinema-friendly visual representation of what is basically a computer's file system?
This is the Apple version.
Definitely makes sense they'd have you tethered to other Apple devices. Somewhat ironic having a FaceTime call while your face is obscured, but then this is company that enabled you to use FaceID while wearing a mask and habitually churns out new diverse and inclusive emojis featuring hijabs, niqabs, etc.
Do they mention the massive two-hour battery life when untethered?
I enjoy a little VR gaming as much as anyone, but I fail to see how any of the use cases shown in this video are any different to what you can do with a phone or laptop. And how the fuck does FaceTime work? Is there a camera inside the goggles so the person you're talking to gets to stare up your nostrils?
I do believe Apple has sunk so much into the development of this thing that they felt they had no choice but to release it to market and hope the fanboys tug themselves raw over it, and one look on Twitter suggests it worked.
Didn't have a written language, either. Every single thing we're told is an abo word is derived through generations of Chinese whispers.
Also not sure how nomadic tribes 'owned' any land. Good thing Australian law is bent in their favour, so they can make those claims without ever having to provide proof.
Can't wait for the 'voice' to just get ploughed through the senate and we can all start paying them rent (abo tax, I've decided it should be called).
You mean to tell me a functional community has no need for shit-tier poetry writers or crystal healers or astrologers or cat therapists?
