Any advertisement in public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It belongs to you. It's yours to take, rearrange and re-use. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.

The concept of a smartphone has peaked, so instead of focusing our efforts on tackling issues like, I dunno, the ever-increasing cost of living and climate change, we're going to dig our heels further and monetize our every waking moment instead. I guarantee, once this kind of technology is embedded inside our minds, it's going to make us watch an ad before going to bed.

Ready Player One's villain motivation being selling off a large amount of the player's view for advertising was supposed to be satire. Less than 10 years after the movie came out, it's Apple, X and Meta's driving philosophy. Harvesting user data to sell off for targeted advertising.

@@torip6000 No No No. You NEED AI in your fridge so we can populate it when you sleep. Just give us access to your front door lock and you will never forget about milk ever again.

@@torip6000 The worst part is vr has already existed for Years and is actually very cool technology, at the very least for entertainment and simulators, but apple is trying to force it to work for something its just not optimal for

I think tech fatigue only happens when tech gets WORSE. You literally CANNOT get fatigued by convenience, since convenience is a thing you choose whether or not to have, not something you are literally forced to live with. The only way to circumvent tech fatigue is to make tech better, faster and more convenient. I almost kind of get the appeal of the Apple Vision Pro now that I think about it. You don't have to wrestle into your pockets for your phone, to unlock it, to type on the greasy keyboard, to wrestle with the slow performance and the bulky interface..... Like think about it. One of the most popular premium services, Spotify, you can listen to on the headset WITHOUT taking out your phone or keeping your phone opened constantly like you are required to on default Spotify Free. KZfaq, like he showed in the video, you can literally watch while you're doing the dishes, without worrying about splashing your phone with water. Wet hands? No problem, you are literally touching the AIR. Even if you get dirt on your hands, you know you're not going to grease up your phone because you are not using a phone. I agree that it's dissociative and disconnected, but so is using a phone in public. Absolutely people stare down to look at their phones in public, because for most sane people the anxiety of city life is literally unbearable (worrying about pickpockets, people judging you, etc.) It's REALLY not that different to using your phone for 8 hours a day. I think it's definitely a bit better than a VR headset, because that literally just isolates you from everyone and everything, but in a way worse as well.

See I disagree with Eddie here. I don't think tech companies are forcing this on us, I think these are things that we asked for. How many people watched a movie like Minority Report and imagined what it would be like to be able to do those same things? How many dreamed of technology getting to a point where they can access information and create virtual worlds with a swipe of their hands? I know I did. It wasn't until seeing the product in action that I realized the dystopian nature of it, but that doesn't mean I get to retroactively pretend like I never wanted it in the first place. I did and millions of sci-fi dreamers like me did too.

It's their way to cope

Because when people say "it will get cheaper" they're not literally referring to Apple's product. They're referring to the TECHNOLOGY. That that, inevitably, will become cheaper to manufacture and entice more companies to pursue

@@vincentjonesvrliterally this, you are correct.

How cheap would it have to be for you to consider it? I mean I would want to be paid to wear this crap. I don’t think Apple will ever make it so cheap.

The solution is to insulate yourself from nonsense and unnecessary info. Then the internet/phone becomes a useful tool.

It's wild to me that we've reached a point where people can form their own parasocial relationships with an AI. Though the phrase is overused and a bit insensitive, this does genuinely feel like the pinnacle of being terminally online. Companies are going to love when these things become affordable (if ever) because it's an all-new algorithm that they can use to feed more ads and services to consumers who are depraved of connection and seeking endless hours of escapism. The technology is impressive, but I hope adoption for it doesn't catch on.
