Maybe, but it's too speculative at this point.

The only argument for it is if get agi, we probably get FDVR, otherwise seems unlikely.

Yes I definitely know how much it costs to cover different layouts. You're looking at extras prices which are a lot more expensive than buying during GB.

I don't know what your example shows, apart from that yeah SP SA is really expensive. You're trying to cover a pretty rare layout, not sure what I could change there.

I think kitting is good, I accepted a ton of feedback from the community and some members that are very knowledgeable about kitting before I ran the GB, not sure what else I can say.

The TKL kit is rather slim to be honest, I split out numpad, specialties and iso from it. Buying alphas + tkl is simple to understand (maybe not?) and it provides good coverage without wasting a lot of keys.

As you can see in this post and the comments simply splitting the alphas already got people confused, you have to find a balance between flexibility and not confusing people with a ton of options.

In any case I'm not saying the kitting couldn't be improved, but I think it's good enough and it's not anti consumer.

I'm the designer, wanted to clarify a few things since people seem to think this kitting is anti consumer and designed to make you spend more, while it's actually the opposite.

The alphas are split from the TKL mods so people that don't need standard mods don't have to buy a ton of keycaps they don't need, they can just get alphas + ergo kit for example. And there's no price difference, if it was one big base kit with alphas and tkl mods it would cost the same in total, just would be less flexible.

Apart from that the novelties kit is just that, novelties, is not supposed to fill out your modifiers and if I included those extra keys, again most people would be paying for keys they don't need.

The truly asinine thing here is how quick you are to start insulting me.

Your own arguments and way of thinking are what lead to that conclusion even if you don't realize it.

I completely disagree with all your takes but whatever think what you want, I'm not gonna waste more time with this.

Every artist alive today has learned from, taken inspiration and copied other people. It's imposible to come up with a unique art style at this point, unless you lived completely isolated and never looked at anyone else's art in your life. By your logic all artists are unethical and exploitative.

Probably in several ways. Completely realistic robots or NPCs in full dive VR might work great. If not there will probably be ways to alter your appearance or even your mental state and personality that could help lonely people.

Personally hobbies, personal projects, sports and entertainment would be enough to keep me very satisfied, especially if I was able to pursue them freely and without worries thanks to something like UBI.

If you need to feel useful or productive you could probably get together with people that think like you and work on group/community projects of all kinds, just to feel that fulfilment and even if an AI/robot could do it better.

Yeah we can't automate farmers and higher level software development yet, but it seems we'll be able rather soon. That's why I disagree with saying that we will always need people for those jobs.

Right, in a few years this will probably be able to handle entire applications by itself so I do think that eventually there'll be no need for people. I saw a dude asking it to write a tic tac toe game in python, and it made the classes and functions, all the logic correct with everything commented and it was playable in the terminal. The guy then broke the code in a couple of places and asked GPT to explain the problems and it went line by line explaining the errors and the fix perfectly. It even suggested new improvements to the code it had written itself before.

At this point I don't even think we need AGI to replace people.

True right now, but in 5-10 years?

I guess you can define that as prompts, but I mean that there will be no such thing as prompt engineering/crafting, you'll just talk to it the same way you talk to an artist when commissioning something in the case of generative AIs, for example.

I doubt it. Prompts are a very primitive way of communicating, at some point you will be able to have natural human level conversations with AIs instead of prompts.

Dumb video, the Quest Pro is better than the Quest 2 in every way except price. The tech is still in its infancy and it's already amazing, there's still plenty of time left this decade for it to mature, and it won't be just the hardware, AI will play a massive role in improving VR during the coming years.

What a useless post

The negative scenarios have been talked about so much that I find them uninteresting now, people just love thinking that the apocalypse is near and we are all doomed.

All we can do is wait and see what happens so I'm gonna spend my time thinking about the positive outcomes even if I know they aren't certain. It's a lot more interesting and pleasant for me.

It's almost indistinguishable imo, haven't bought real milk in a good while and I'm not even vegan.

Maybe in some cases.

Couple of people I know are against it for other reasons like aging being the correct/natural course of life, overpopulation, etc.

Can you say that is different to how a human mind works?

If we get to such a technological point I doubt anyone will have trouble staying busy or entertained. People are just so used to work that they have trouble imagining life without it.

The examples are pretty insane.

That's the current state, but it will probably be a replacement rather soon. At the very least it will replace the artists in an art director - artist relationship.
