Except in fact we have just seen 2 centuries of drudgery automated. Have you seen a combine harvester?

Thanks!

Know anything a little cheaper? I'm down for something bigger too. Just want to impress my friends on the next camping trip.

Fair. The only thing I'm trying to do here is fight the unnecessary reification of words.

Also worth noting that Marx never refers to two stages transition between capitalism and communism. He does refer to higher and lower stages of communism but those don't map to lenin's usage with socialism etc.

The article actually included that. Which I thought was weird and a little sloppy.

I recommend you actually watch the video.

You very clearly didn't watch the video. Your interpretation of the critique of the Gotha program is off by a mile.

Technological progress is not generalizable in the abstract. For hundreds of years human built faster and faster means of transportation and yet the record for fastest human vehicle remains 1969 appollo 10 mission.

There are hard limits to physics. It is not malleable without limit.

Magic leap said they were going to shrink down their light field tech a decade ago but gave up. The reality is that this technology may just not be physically possible.

It's really more of a spectrum.

Also words are literally determined by use. Arguing about then as if they have inherent meaning is stupid.

Socialism and communism were interchangeable terms historically https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism#Etymology

Vr is a fancy display tech for niche games. It's at best another lane in the console war.

AR, actual ar with light fields is not feasible. The tech will never get there. It's just too computionally expensive and the optics don't pan out.

They def would mind

Not great. The ux is stuck in 2006

Because if you have to subdize to get marketshare then how are you going to maintain that marketshare once you stop subsidizing?

This has been the play for the last decade of cheap VC debt in tech. Wework, Uber, etc all these businesses operate at a loss in the hopes they can someday get a monopoly. That's the explicitly stated business goal or Uber!

It's not sustainable. It's stupid and the bill will come due eventually.

Games as an industry is impossible to make money in unless you're a platform owner. That's just how it is. The 1983 game industry crash and Nintendo resurrection showed that. It's just repeating the cycle.

They subsidizing in hopes they can gain monopolistic marketshare.

They're probably never going to be as small as glasses just due to hard physical limits in optics.
