    Is there a secret competition among these people to try and be the biggest asshole or something? I’m almost impressed with how obnoxious real humans can even be, this feels like it was written.

    I had totally memory-holed the existence of the apple vision pro lmao, haven’t heard a peep about it since the deluge of tech blog press when it released. That seems to be the way VR works: it hits incredibly hard, you are totally convinced it’s the future when you try it, but then a couple months later your headset basically just hangs there never being used. I got a used oculus quest 2 and that’s about how it went.

    great metaphor of the western ruling class: driving a death trap on auto-pilot while consuming a false reality having no concern for any externalities because that would be admitting defeat to communists
