Biden wants to raise capital gains tax to 40%
FB is betting big on Metaverse. Do you think it is bound to fail? Zuck is betting billions of $ that everyone will buy oculus and VR will take off. The devices are still bulky, troublesome to use. I’m skeptical of this optimism on AR/VR which is almost 10 year old tech which has failed miserably so far. Hardware is difficult, Amazon, Google and Microsoft have all failed miserably in several of their bets. Wondering what trick Zuck has up his sleeve. #tech #facebook #metaverse
It will be a thing in a long term, not sure if FB will be the winner at the end. It's still in the earlier stage.
I think it’s bound to succeed, seems like it’s just a matter of time.
Yeah I don't see it
Unless they solve motion sickness problem when I use AR/VR, no.
I am skeptical too, but what do I know? I thought the iPad was stupid and nobody would buy it. And I thought Google Glass would take over the world!
We should consult you for our startup ideas. If you hate it, we're golden. If you're into it, abort.
Sure. Happy to help. I can give you my opinion for just 0.1% stake 🙂
Alternate reality when people have difficulty living in the real world. There are bigger world problems to solve while Zuck wants to suck you into an unreal world. I won’t be an user for sure. I don’t VR to be successful. Wearing a headset for extended periods of time is not practical
> There are bigger world problems to solve while Zuck wants to suck you into an unreal world. I can understand if you're not interested, or don't think it will succeed. But what the F does this mean? What world problems is Apple solving with its fucking expensive gadgets?
Lol coming from Apple. A company that sucks and traps you in it's ecosystem with insanely overpriced gadgets.
Alternate reality sounds fun. I would definitely do that than watch TV. It needs to be very approachable, plug and play like TV and not be nerdy to succeed. But that’s what FB is - so mainstream, consumer tech. So of all the possible players I think they can crack the code. I think they’ll get what it needs to be.
It's going to happen
I see a lot of potential if the hardware can be improved in terms of weight, size. Example use cases: house tours in VR, shopping with friends, gaming, fitness, social, concerts, conferences, sports events. It makes it possible for everyone to have the best seat simultaneously in a conference. I don’t actually work in FRL org but I think it has huge potential.
At least he’s not resting on his laurels and has some sort of vision here involving new tech.
