I an see this being really useful as a work tool in engineering, especially as devices start having chips integrated that the headset can interact with

I was thinking that too, this isn’t for people who have an Oculus and are ready to move on. This is for designers and people that want to optimize work flow. The added benefit is you can play games and watch TV while on your break.
This will definitely be a high end luxury toy for kids though, which I’m sure Apple can’t wait to market to.
Could be efficient for construction/engineering by just looking at something and it measuring immediately

Ok, just watched the video and while the $3500 price is a turnoff for me I think this thing might actually sell in a professional environment. All the virtual meetings people do over Zoom etc that are so shitty as you try to share screens suddenly look like they could actually be productive using this. Instead of using 3 widescreen monitors that take up a huge amount of room on my desk I now have all the monitors I want any size I want and I can do it sitting in an airplane seat. It will be interesting to see how this goes and how the tech/price trickles down if it manages to take off.
I get that they have to pitch this for as many uses as possible, but comparing it to a high end home theater was pretty laughable. Ok, sure, if you’re a sad lonely loser who sits in their apartment watching movies alone I guess it works. Otherwise you have to buy one for everyone in your house and hope any friends coming over to watch a movie have one too.
How long before the first knockoff Android powered headset that you can look through hits the market?

have you guys used oculus?
it’s pretty crazy already. doesnt do it for me but i was impressed nonetheless.
I have an oculus 2, it’s cool but I grew bored of it. I don’t like standing to play games and the desktop feature is laughable. There’s a few apps for modeling that are cool but it’s all beta crap. SteamVR is cool but again, don’t want to stare at a mehhh resolution screen for a while.
Interesting that this has been going on for a while. Nurses differing to Ai decisions because they don’t want to get in trouble if they’re wrong:
The media is really stretching the definition of AI. Every algorithm is not AI. I just finished an auto decisioning model for loans for our credit union software. The CU’s set a bunch of parameters about DTI, credit score etc and as long as the applicant meets the set parameters their loan is approved and funds made available without a person looking at the application. If they don’t the loan goes to a human for further review. That’s not AI, that’s just a simple dumb algorithm. It doesn’t learn on it’s own and adjust.
It’s the same for UC Davis’s system that said to test the patient for sepsis because the white blood cell count hit X. The nurse knew that wasn’t the case because the patient had leukemia. If it was an actual AI it would learn to factor in leukemia without someone needing to change the code behind the algorithm. Without the learning it’s nothing more than an “if/then/else” or a case statement, something we’ve had in code since computers were invented.
The other part of that article that really bothers me is they don’t mention the number of people that die every day in hospitals because nurses and doctors miss things that even these non-ai algorithms are alerting to. That’s why hospitals implement them in the first place.

Its part of the next big polarizing issue. Right now its being force-fed to everyone to see what side of the line everyone falls on. As that gets established each side will either weaponize or glorify it.
I used GPT-4 almost daily, as a sort of personal assistant for doing tasks. Think Alexa but not retarded.
I have been playing with it recently to see how powerful of a tool it can be outside of writing tasks, wow. Let’s just say that it is definitely alarming and amazing.
This is gold AI debate between Trump and Biden based on chat messages.

I just signed up for this Beta. Air.ai
Still sounds like a computer or retarded person I suppose
this is why they made us stop using the r word years ago, they knew this was coming and we’d have to accept it. 
Wait till they fully integrate sales tactics into this.
Right now it does. Improvements are happening rapidly. But if that was text it would be hard to distinguish.

its just latency to improve upon. they could easily add filler noises to the beginning, like hmmm or umm to make it more natural.

Oh I get it, timing and repeating content. It’ll be way better sooner.
Anyone else see a potential problem here, lol
the company intends to eventually use generative AI to re-create events that have happened, but for which cameras were not present.
revisionist history…
and with everything being electronic there’s no way to validate authenticity, especially in say 500 years from now.
imagine if the US fell from power, how easy it would be for china to rewrite history
