I heard SUCH a wide range of opinions talking to people on the street in Hollywood. Had a ton of fun.

Happy to answer any questions!

These seem to work pretty well. I'm doing a similar kind of summarization based with https://infobot.ai and wondering how you guys do it? Is it just GPT-3 or more complex than that?

Cool thanks for sharing. I'm using Pinecone currently to build https://infobot.ai and will have to check this out.

Hey all, I made a system that generates investor newsletters based on your exact portfolio. What kind of features would you all want from a product like this?

Using ChatGPT to generate visions from the future. What kind of stuff would y'all want to see predictions about?

Cool! I run Spatial Ape (the VR industry trade show) and its great to see new authoring tools. Where do you see this fitting in relative to existing solutions like Unity and Unreal? Thanks for sharing!

I've worked with both Unity and Unreal on past projects. While I love both, they have steep learning curves, long build times, and deploying cross-platform is much more difficult than the web.

Virtual Maker is a simplification of the whole process. We have built-in actions, navigation modes, and assets that you can use to get going quickly. We take care of hosting for you, ensuring your scenes work across platforms, with instant deploy times.

Of course, that means Virtual Maker won't give you all the options that Unity and Unreal do to build anything you can imagine. It's a trade off, and depends on what kind of project you're making.

A great FOSS alternative to Unity and Unreal engine is Godot engine. I've found it much easier to learn and work with, extremely Blender3D friendly, and it's cross-platform and web export support seems to be excellent thus far as I've tried any of it. It does still require a fair bit of learning, as any complex tool does, but there's many great tutorials on the web and YouTube to help with that.

First time hearing about Spatial Ape - do you still do the weekly trade show?

Hey everyone, author here. We started Spatial Ape because entrepreneurs and young professionals in the VR industry are underserved when it comes to business networking and identity tools. LinkedIn is stale and slow to adapt to a new wave of hyper digital, geographically distributed young companies and creators. Covid-19 has also prevented young companies from accessing in-person events which are often so critical to developing a business or career.

If you enjoyed the book, please stop by in VR! We do a global VR industry trade show event every Thursday, and I look forward to meeting you all. I’m happy to answer any questions.

yeah this was one of the most mind-blowing things i ever watched when it first came out

so basically, you are actually me? Cool.

Indeed, that is what I'm saying. Even though I'm a real person, when you read this comment, you do not gain any interiority into my real person.

You read my comment in your mind's voice, entirely with your own biases. And the fact that you choose to read & respond to my comment over any other means that the "conversation" we are having is with the disembodied voice (my voice) in your head with another disembodied voice (your voice) in your head.

I don't know you, and you don't know me; the exchange takes place on your side, within your ego, and only informed by your perspectives and biases. (Likewise, for me!)

ya it's a slow burn, but I think the September '20 - September '21 period will end up seeing roughly the unit sales mentioned in their bet. Quest 2 is making a large impact.
