Exactly this.

Calling the VirtualBoy (I own one) VR is quite strange. It doesn't even have 6DoF.

Are you seriously going to make out that using A.I. is the same as using a paintbrush?!?

If you use a paintbrush to draw Mickey Mouse, YOU are using the paintbrush driven by YOUR OWN brain, nerves and muscles. YOU are the one creating that image. YOU are exerting effort to produce the result. When you tell an A.I. to draw Mickey Mouse, you aren't doing jack shit. The A.I. alone has produced the image, you're a bystander. So, please explain how using A.I. is the same thing as using a paintbrush?

Now, I'm not an artist (I can't even draw stick figures), but it's at least morally ambiguous for large corporations to scrape/hoover up images from the internet to "train" their A.I. (i.e. replicate the images or styles wholly or partially) without providing attribution or honoring any license. It's only common sense this *should* have been done on public domain images and allowed artists to opt-in if they wished to do so. But you know, greedy corporations and "entrepreneurs" (assholes) who think all that is yours belongs to them.

My experience is different. Most people I show VR to feel sick. They might be OK with anything that doesn't really need 6DOF (where you're just standing still basically and looking around) but anything more than that people tend to feel sick. Hell, I played 3D games in stereoscopic 3D for many years before VR and thought I wouldn't get sick as I never felt weird using S3D. But when I started using VR I would feel violently ill after around 15 mins and it would last for around an hour. I did eventually acclimate to it and can now spend hours in VR without any issue, but some experiences can still make me feel sick, like driving games for some reason. Flying I can do all day no matter how agressive I fly.

I'm not defending Zuck (he can burn in hell) but I would consider Palmer Lucky and John Carmack experts, in different areas obviously.

Absolutely. My first thought was who TF calls it 'Cybersickness'?!? I've always heard it known as VR sickness or VR motion sickness. Been using VR since the Oculus DK1.

Sorry to be that guy but it's Deckard, not Decker.

Couldn't agree more. This is the way forward.

I really hope they add this to Google Earth VR. It would be awesome to revisit some places in VR around the time I originally travelled there and compare that to the most recent street view.

+1 agree. Also, PowerShell is based on .NET framework, and I fucking hate .NET.

If PowerShell is such a great automation tool I'd really be interested in how many people use it under Linux?

Absolutely spot on. I've been watching another YouTuber Angry Joe getting his Halo TV series videos struck down by CBS claiming DMCA, all because they don't like some of the negative response to the show (The Kwon Show!). Joe even tried various forms of altering the used footage and heavily reduced the amount of footage shown and is still getting manual copyright claims against his vids. There needs to be an improved mechanism to prevent false copyright claims when fair use is clear. Corporations shouldn't be able to throw their weight around like that, trying to silence critics who may not be in a position to take a major corp to court.

As a 3D vision user, I'm hoping the hackers DO dump what they have so the community can integrate 3D Vision back into the latest drivers and fully support 3000 series cards. Yes a lot of people couldn't care less about 3D Vision, but this post isn't for them.

I don't know. Do countries keep accepting cyber attacks and the financial cost/fallout? The state-sponsored actors carrying out the attacks are acting absolutely aggressively and invite retaliation and aggression in kind. I keep thinking if they were lobbing rockets instead of cyber attacks no way would any nation with a certain level of capability turn a blind eye. They'd respond in-kind or with what they would consider appropriate force.

I totally agree with you. I'm also sick of all the comments suggesting that people with certain issues or conditions that it's a "lifestyle" choice. It's incredibly insulting. It's like unless you are at the extreme end of a condition you must be making it up or you're just complaining. To me it's the same thing as saying to someone suffering depression, 'just cheer up' or 'get over it'. I work in an extremely noisy office environment. I'm a developer who happens to work around people (management wannabe types) who love listening to the sound of their own voice and seem to believe everyone else should be impressed. It makes it really difficult for me to concentrate. Some people can block it out seemingly easily, but I can't. Never have been able to. So for me it's noise-cancelling headphones so I can actually do my job. I'm sure there are others who can relate.

I hope they also go after big game publishers like Activision Blizzard who routinely buy development houses and lay-off staff even after successful sales.
