It feels like just yesterday that VR was the big hype tech.

To be 100% honest, I like Bitcoin and LLMs too. Could use some pigouvian taxes though.

BTC is neat and I do have some, but I didn’t get into LLMs, no use case for me at this point. But I think VR is in a completely different bucket. VR was so fucking awesome for my partner and myself to chill out in with our friends in 2020 when we couldn’t go out and see peeps. It’s also easily the best most fun form of exercise.

I'm sure you and your partner can think of a more fun form of exercise. 😉

VR has actual staying power though. It genuinely adds a lot to a game or a simulation. VRchat especially is like a deeply emotional thing to folks who don't feel like they belong in their real bodies and can exist in VR a more true representation of themself
