I'm wondering why they don't just continue the Vision Pro team and see where it leads them.

Or maybe they are continuing the team, just getting rid of one skill set?

I don't have any VR system, but even I can see it's not ready for Prime Time yet. But that doesn't mean it won't be in the future.

As for marketing of it, it really should be marketed as a desktop/laptop computer replacement.

It’s about control too. If all eletronic transactions have to go through VISA to be processed, then VISA can control who can buy what and who can sell what. A public, trustworthy eletronic payment system managed by other governments takes that power away from VISA, so naturally VISA will sabotage any attempt by foreign governments to establish something like UPI.

I think a part of the issue is the amount of gold and other precious minerals in the cameras.

People are using AI to find out about the cameras and the AI is scrapping comments like this and telling people about the gold. Then people take down the cameras to look for the gold.

You're just fooling yourself now... I've conducted experiments despite what you might think, and the results have always been so disastrous that I gave up trying. Same goes for my colleagues. And my interns may make mistakes just like AI, but they have one advantage: they learn from their mistakes.

Well, time will tell who is right... But the way things are going, my way of doing things may will end up being actually safer than this AI-generated slop that's popping up everywhere and being marketed as "the best thing in the world". And I don't have to worry about how many "tokens" I have to spend on what I'm doing, because, after all, I'm not using any.

You’re getting somewhat usable results from AI solely because someone else in the world has already done something exactly the same or very similar to what you wanted to do. This isn’t all that unlikely to happen because there aren’t that many different ways to make a form receive and display data, for example.

Now, if you take someone like me, who is constantly creating new things or new ways of doing things (and no, I won’t describe them because of trade secrets), AI just gets in the way and can even be a serious security risk. The only thing AI has been somewhat helpful with here is acting as a “Google summary,” and since I’m the one who decides whether the AI’s suggestion has merit or not, it never touches the code itself.

Cars are actually useful. AI, on the other hand...

Just don't use AI.

You are the only loser here ;)

Actually, let's correct my comment a bit since you, being a snowflake, couldn't grasp the "why" of it. I actually used to buy games. But those were games that I still own, and if I want to play them again (even decades later), I can. While the games they currently sell to you they can take them away from you at any time, unilaterally and without warning. You'd have to be an idiot to accept those kinds of terms. So, pirating.

Maybe one of these days they'll go back to selling games that are actually yours, and then I'll go back to buying games. But I think it's unlikely they'll change their minds.

I'm not able of care even less about what you think.

That’s why I pirate games without a shred of guilt. Why would I pay for a game when the author could take my money and then decide unilaterally at any time that I can no longer play the game, and without me having the right to a refund if that happens?

Given the current level of developers involved, I question whether the permissions will always work.

Victory.

Then there is the noise factor and the fact that the homeowner may need more electricity (electric car, pool, hot tub, etc).

I built my house. My builder pushed back on me when I asked for a 400A service. He said I'd never need it since I didn't have plans for a pool. Gave me a 200A service.

Now with 2 electric cars, a finished basement, and patio lighting I have two subpanels in addition to the main panel.

No mystery why Slashdot's active users are in the three figures.
