VR and Crypto were bullshit, but AI is the real deal. On a side note I find it hilarious that out of the three options, Zuckerberg bet billions on the two wrong options. Unfortunately the rich have so much power that they can make catastrophic mistakes and still have plenty of money to finally bet on the right one.
How is VR bullshit? No Mans Sky, Elite Dangerous, Half Life Alex, more games everyday are using VR.
Unless you mean the "meta verse" decentraland kinda deal then yeah for sure.
It being the future of computer interfaces is bullshit. I enjoy it as a novelty but Zuckerberg bet on it as the "next big thing", on par with the Internet.
They never stopped to ask if it was actually an improvement and just assumed it's what everyone wanted.
Too bad some things are just more convenient on a screen in front of you. I don't want to walk around a virtual grocery store, the website is fine.
