didn’t meta and apple try turning VR into the ‘Next big thing’ very recently, i mean they got distracted with LLMs but they could always try again.
I still dont think blockchain; the tech itself is a grift, it does what it promised to do(not BTC, other coins that improved on it, BTC itself has turned into a big game of chicken), has uses beyond its initial purpose. Its just that the tech attracted grifters like flies, and their actions were transparent(yet people still fell for it)
Meta tried very hard but their ideas of how VR/AR will be used are very misguided. I guess it could be used as a social media, but it’s really much more well-suited to games and especially tools, the latter of which is quite underexplored.
Entirely agreed on blockchain. The technology itself does have uses, but for the most part it doesn’t improve on having a centralized trusted source. For situations where that + a method for recovering from the loss of that source is not sufficient, blockchain can offer advantages, although its adoption still suffers from the network effect like anything else does. Cryptocurrency is valid, NFTs have theoretically valid uses but have never actually been used for them, and crypto stocks are, as with any stock, just gambling.
