Well it will be an s curve, the laws of physics will surely slow things down at some point.

Doesn't change what I said.

Weird, GPT-4's biggest strength was said to be it's ability to use external tools proficiently unlike GPT-3.5.

What makes you think it isn't?

OpenAI's CEO just tweeted yesterday that he wants to build a world with AI where working is optional for everyone. So I wouldn't accuse OpenAI of being too capitalist.

OpenAI doesn't currently have an infinite supply of resources, so they will need to charge users for their products.

That's not the point of VR, which is for "escaping" the real reality. What you are describing would be AR (augmented reality).

> Nor will people be sitting around on their couch for hours doing the same.

There are literally tons of people right now who are spending more time in virtual reality than in actual reality, I recommend checking this video out. I personally have spent over 500 hours in VR, and the only thing stopping me from playing more right now is the shortage of high-quality VR experiences.

By directly suppressing the issue inside your brain. You could wear a similar BCI without the display part on a boat and use it to cancel out the sickness.

> The feeling can already be suppressed artificially. “It’s more of a certification issue than it is a scientific issue,” explains Newell.

Basically the problem has to do with ethics and safety when having a direct communication with the brain.

Except thanks to new lens technology, that's no longer the case. The industry is moving from expensive fresnel lenses towards pancake lenses, the Quest Pro and Pico 4 headsets that were released a few months ago already feature such lenses.

The pico 4 costs 400€, and has a built-in mobile gaming computer, batteries and two 2K displays, there is no way the lenses cost anywhere near 200€, and on top of that the new pancake lenses fix all the issues frensel lenses had, such as terrible light glares, distortion, requiring thick headsets, and no adjustment options for people with myopia (now you don't need to wear glasses in VR anymore).

Valve is working on BCI technology that will solve motion sickness issues, and increase the immersion further (eventually to the sci-fi / Ready Player One level)

Camera tech is progressing very fast. You can now have a similar quality camera in a 200€ smartphone that you would have had in a 600€ camera 10 years ago. The resolution of camera sensors is also increasing at a steady pace. Lenses aren't really the bottleneck, so they don't need to be developed as fast.

We are not likely going to skip VR / AR, but BCI's are definitely coming, and will replace VR once they do.

Phones absolutely do not cover even a tiny fraction of the functions a proper AR headset would.

They probably meant BCI (Brain-Computer Interface)

It absolutely does. Valve Index PPD (pixels per degree) is 13. The human eye is 57 PPD.

Also Valve Index is a really bad bencmark, the Index came out three and a half years ago, and some valve employees have said that it was already two years old technology when it shipped. So it's pretty much 5 year old tech by now. The upcoming Valve Deckard headset is rumoured to have two 4K displays, having almost three times higher resolution than the Index.

By modern standards, really only 6DOF counts as vr, the earlier tech is more like 3D wearable monitors.

We are currently in the valley of disappointment: https://i.imgur.com/f11ZDYf.jpeg

Same thing happened with the internet. In the early 90's people thought the internet would change the world very quickly, and were disappointed around 2000 when not much had happened, then in a few years some little companies and websites such as Google, Wikipedia, Amazon and Facebook popped up out of nowhere.

Far left usually is, and so is far right in most cases.

And the "objects" in the background make no sense.

That's what I said.

To be fair, this doesn't yet reprogram itself. It creates generic human-like code to perform actions on a physical robot. It doesn't write machine learning algorithms.

You should also post this on /r/artficial

Also the text is probably mostly generated by GPT-3

And even if it wasn't, it wouldn't make any difference since there is just one timeline.
