[quote:Vision Thing:MV81Mjc3NjM2Xzk3Mjg5MzM0X0ZGQTZFNjQz] This idea is straight out of William Gibson's novels - I think he is a spook tasked with presenting things in advance to make them more palatable when they are publicly released decades later. [/quote]

The world took one more step in a strange and bothersome direction.
‘
Palmer Luckey, defense contractor and the father of modern virtual reality, has created a VR headset that will kill the user if they die in the game they’re playing. He did this to commemorate the anime, Sword Art Online. Luckey is the founder of Oculus, a company he sold to Facebook in 2014 for $2 billion. This is the technology that Mark Zuckerberg rebranded as the foundation for Meta.
