I’m not sure what this comment brings to the table either, I mean are you really saying their opinion is invalid because they’re new / haven’t “put enough time in”? That doesn’t seem very fair.
I don’t think newcomers should be excluded from conversations…what’s the requirement; 12, 24, 48 months? Who determines that? Account age isn’t the best indicator of good-faith participation (accounts can be hacked, bought, etc.).
Instead engage with the content itself and where it comes from to determine if it seems to be in “good-faith”. Ironically, writing off someone’s opinion based on a single (potentially unrelated) fact is probably “bad-faith”.
It’s okay to recognize that something serves a great purpose in a controlled, therapeutic setting but may lead to unpredictable results in an uncontrolled environment. People without experience should absolutely be cautious.
And to the original commenter: Thank you for sharing your story, I am very sorry for your loss.
If they didn’t realize it in 2016 when Spez manually edited comments that made him look bad (which was only a year after he returned to the company btw) then I don’t think they will now. Something very weird must be going on over there.
I would love that…I’ve heard of this use case for AI described many times but I’ve yet to find anyone doing it! Copilot is great, but for more creative/frontend work it seems like there should be something right?
Stable Diffusion is amazing at generating art. Something similar but specialized in UI could be too. Maybe one could make a custom model, but with my lack of design knowledge I’m not even sure where to start…
It would surely save my monkey brain from pouring many more hours into looking at existing websites/UI libraries/Dribble and drawing inspiration (copying) from them.
Yeah I’m not sure if it’s the Reddit mentality at play here or actual outage but it just always seems like these types of comments are reacting to a headline, it is unfortunate.
> There's not so many new-category-defining innovations, but Apple have hardly been sitting on their hands.
Yep! With more to come too. Seeing Apple’s take on VR/AR in these next few years is going to be very interesting. Probably not as big of a paradigm shift as the iPhone, but still exciting nonetheless.
> they are not competitive with 20 year old Playstation 2 software
Have you tried one? Nowadays they certainly are.
Sure, you may encounter mobile-class graphics in some games, however these headsets can also leverage a gaming PC to stream higher quality titles as well.
Not to mention immersion. The PS2 simply cannot offer an immersive experience even close to what a VR headset can these days, not for most of today’s youth anyways. This is especially true when you factor in online gaming and other social aspects.
To suggest otherwise requires some strong nostalgia glasses I think.
Yes the quality has greatly increased since that headset ~20 years ago, and not only the screen. There is also game quality, software quality, features, “connectivity” (online gaming, social hubs). Overall the experience today is entirely different.
It is, in fact, the exact same thing: a temporary imprisonment enforced by the state in order to achieve its social goals. It is remarkable how creative the insults are in this thread, yet how utterly lacking in logic. The fact that you don't like the description doesn't make it wrong. The policy is the same, just implemented for different reasons and, we'd hope, with shorter periods of imprisonment. But that's what it is and name calling doesn't change what's being proposed.
