imo vr was fucked forever once oculus started funding games on condition of exclusivity and nobody else funded them at all
valve could have quadrupled any such investment without the exclusivity and not felt it at all. maybe wouldn't have saved vr, but sure woulda helped

for me, the realizing “there’s no plan” / VR is dead was when I played Half-Life Alyx… made with infinite resources and talent, better than anyone else could ever do, like really good… and then, still not “good enough”
imo there will never be this much clarity with AI

VR
- we know instantly how it should be
- it’s amazing!
- we soon hit the limits
- we assume there’s a plan to solve it
- there’s no plan to solve it
- the limits are definitive (hats have no legs)
- VR the idea and VR the tech never coincide
- the world moves on
- VR doesn’t exist
AI
- yup
