On “Return to Office Is Bullshit and Everyone Knows It”
Have you seen some of the virtual reality from FB? I think it's getting close to the point where it's just as good as talking to someone in person, with the obvious benefit that not everyone has to be in the same physical office. link to this video

On “Reality Labs has lost $11.4B during 2023 (there's still one quarter left)”
I think VR can enable human connection where it otherwise isn’t possible due to distance. Of course, it isn’t a full substitute for in-person interaction, but it doesn’t have to be either or. We can have a great remote connection via VR and still exist in the real world. Check out this podcast0 between Lex Fridman and Mark Zuckerberg where they meet remotely via the metaverse. 0 link to this video

On “'Counterfeit people': The danger posed by Meta’s AI celebrity lookalike chatbots”
Lex Fridman talked to Mark Zuckerberg about this just a few days ago 0. It didn't sound like Meta is has good answers for how this should be done. So it seems unlikely that they'd be significantly more than 6 months into research like this (as the tweet chain says). It seems like Meta is exploring AI avatars, but for much more practical, menial tasks. 0 link to this video

On “The real engine behind "AI" is the bad tech economy”
…ll of these hype cycles is how unpredictable they are in their arc. Some trends like AV seem like they were going to take over the world, but they died down as quickly as they rose when we realize how hard safety is. VR seem like it was dead with Google Glasses and Meta. But recent releases show that the vision of VR is more real than I thought( link to this video ). Apple releasing their VR definitely provides more legitimacy to the idea. Technology is always hard to actually implement in the real world. I think have expectations that the world would flip over with new innovations in a matter of months. But it actually takes years of hard work to get people to adopt it. The internet and mobile phone…

On “Gaussian Head Avatar: Ultra High-Fidelity Head Avatar via Dynamic Gaussians”
I think the tech in that paper was demoed for this podcast: link to this video The big roadblock to commercialisation for the moment is the original capture — for the paper they used a 110-camera capture rig under ideal lighting conditions. In the above podcast Zuckerberg mentions that in the future people will be able to use their phones to do that same capture, but I don’t think that tech is coming next year. I wonder if there’ll be an interim period where people who want high-quality avatars will have to book an appointment.
