woah, why so much aggression?

@MetaRickPodcast why so much promotion of art theft?

@@gman1515 how am I promoting art theft?

@@MetaRickPodcast do you think that the makers of generative AI paid for the billions of images it takes to train their models? Or do you think maybe they just went around stealing other people's intellectual property? You don't have to guess, the makers of LAION (the training set behind stable diffusion) have admitted that it would be impossible to get permission/licenses for that many images and that they aren't picky with their sources.

@@gman1515 are you an artist? and if so, what kind of art do you make?

@@nateessin 💯

what's the value of interoperability? (both for user, and for host of the experience). *please note I'm not against interoperability or an open metaverse, but just recognizing it will always come down to incentives.

@@MetaRickPodcast The internet is a free and open digital space where different websites can interact seemlessly on the same device why cant the same happen with the metaverse 🥽 ?

I'm sorry for whoever hurt you, hope you have a great day 😊

nah, just got some big lips and the lighting + no beard in this one makes em look weird 😂

like a video game that communicates the story of the company's culture and gives employees a chance to walk through the experience vs being presented to them in a slide deck or videos in an LMS. Treating gaming tech as a new medium of communication in business environment

Omg

@@jodo2785 why no?

Seems like a hot take? 🤔

Thanks! 🙏🏽

Whats your take?

Ya I think that’s the point Mo is making. if you’re buying groceries cash or card still makes the most sense, the typical consumer doesn’t have much benefit using crypto in their day2day at least not now. Maybe if you’re transferring really large sums of money it’s more efficient than the red tape in traditional banks, or if you want to leverage smart contracts and tokenization for an online community then it’s useful enough to use. So when looking at a new technology like the blockchain we should be curious and it’s okay to get excited and experiment on how to use it…. but also be skeptical and pragmatic about its use cases.

I mean is it expensive? $500 for a quest 3 is less than a gaming PC or a modern console $1,200 for some of the enterprise options is break even if you save one international flight The ROI is actually crazy good 😅

@@MetaRickPodcast expensive is a subjective term... It totally affordable if you're single.. most of us have to buy a PC, a Switch, and PS5, Cell Phones for the family, tablets, new games wanted, subscription fees, in-game purchases, and Wi-Fi to run it all.. thats all on top of regular bills... so yes having to buy another device or, in turn, give up others to be able to afford just the set itself is literally the definition of expensive. Yes for the average household that has already bought multiple devices and everything that comes with them, this is not affordable.

@NotAShawn if you’re buying all the that other stuff it’s still not expensive… you’re just prioritizing a different console for different games. Which is totally fine, there’s other benefits to those other options. I still think for a consumer it’s a luxury toy basically just like a ps5 or a switch, and it’s in the same range as any of those other examples you’re describing. The games also tend to be a bit cheaper too and there’s other apps outside of games like meditation, fitness, etc. For business use cases the price is actually not even a common objection. Rarely comes up as a concern from my experience and from all the folks I’ve interviewed. The bigger blockers are getting people into first time experiences so they understand what it is + creating custom content + meeting the necessary security requirements. I’m not saying everyone can or should buy these devices yet, I actually think we’re still a few years away from larger consumer adoption. We need to compare it to the category that it’s in and the experience it’s giving. For $500 for a quest 3 is insanely cheap for what that device can do. An experience that was only a dream as recently as 10 years ago, and that saves companies millions of dollars in training and workplace collaboration.

@@MetaRickPodcast Sure... like I said if we forgo other devices to make up for it sure but if you already have all of that stuff there is no reason to buy a VR set unless its on impulse or for trend reasons. It makes so much more sense as a family to buy a few hundred dollar tablets instead of one vr set to share... it isnt consumer friendly... a PC has cross platform play for most online games and a ps5 or xbox and have multiple users at once... a VR set makes no sense unless you are 1. single, 2. have extra capital to waste, 3. Its your next big purchase, or 4. You get rid of some of the things you are already accustomed to and you may not even prefer it in the end to the things you got rid of. I have nothing against it but for a family who makes less than 70k a year... it would have to fit in a very niche purchase timeline of which is usually Christmas or birthday based most certainly not as a substitute for family entrainment which the other gadgets do in abundance. While 500 his cheap it is not a viable replacement for the others but more of a niche purchase per request or as a gift. Imagine three kids fighting over a headset when I can put 3 controllers in their hands or tablets for the same price as one vr set at the cheapest...its limited in this fashion and thats why its expensive

@NotAShawn ya I think you make some valid points. But I think different people enjoy the experience differently too. Some people might value it more than you do and less than I do. Definitely valid that other platforms have a deeper ecosystem that make them more consumer friendly. I’d rephrase “have extra capital to waste” for just having extra capital. It’s not a waste of you enjoy the experience. Regardless though I agree it’s more of a business facing product right now. If you listen to the podcast you’ll see it’s all about business use of VR not about consumers really. Thanks so much for sharing your perspective and diving in with me though. It’s really valuable to hear what you think and helps me be more aware of how others are feeling about the technology 🙏🏽

Why nah?

Stoked you got the reference, top tier show. Used an AI voice modulator for Rick Sanchez voice + MetaRick. Check out the episode with Diego Borgo, that’s when I updated to this version. Hope you’re having a good week raven 🙃🤩

@@MetaRickPodcast Thanks! Looking forward to more.

Is it? What Nate describes here feels more like an AI playing the role of a technical collaborator to help the writer tell the best story possible. All of the world building still happens in the mind and expression of the creative, but then the AI can help provide ideas for adjustments, areas to revisit and reconsider before publishing

that's one of the things I love about Azra's approach... they're using AI to help their studio do more and have a great priority structure on where they spend human hours vs AI. The more emotional the component like Heros, Villains will be where they put the most human hours and use AI to help scale world building and aspects of NPCs (still have human involvement, but they're able to do a lot more with a lean startup this way). I think around 42min in he dives into this perspective.

Not necessarily. So far nobody lost jobs in Azra because of AI but rather their productivity, quality of production and cost efficiency have all increased. You dont have to shrink personnal because of AI. You can also expand quality and speed of development with the staff at hand which is more important, than cutting down human input.
