I think AR has the possibility to absorb people totally because it’s basically one step closer to having a phone in your face 24/7, a natural state for most people right now.
Companies are doing this because VR has been the biggest tech hardware/feature flop since 3D TVs.
But AR certainly will work! Pinky swear! Totally it will!
It's completely different! It's entirely something else!

"Piloting a podracer at wild speeds through a Holotable that only becomes as large as your arms can stretch is a deeply flawed idea. I can’t see far enough ahead to plan turns, and it's never as thrilling as actually sitting in the cockpit."
That's what I feared from the first look.

Tulips? Who mentioned tulips?
"Since the release of ChatGPT in 2022, the value of America’s stock market has risen by $21 trillion. Michael Cembalest of JPMorgan wrote that since that time, AI-related stocks have accounted for 75% of S&P 500 returns, 79% of earnings growth and 90% of capital spending growth."

One of the best things I ever got from colorware was a pencil that glows bright orange under a black light. I’ve lost it in my apartment and found it by shining a black light like I was searching for scorpions in the desert.

I think I need to drive this home more: programming didn't used to be like this—even for complex, networked apps with a large amount of features and complex user interfaces.
And apps didn't have thousands of dependencies like many even simple ones do now.
And apps didn't have thousands of dependencies like many even simple ones do now.
IMO the reason why people yearn for tools that generate code is that programming is broken—everything now is giant layer cakes of huge, complex and intransparent frameworks designed by and for large teams in giant tech companies.
i'm actually not averse to the idea of computers generating code. after all, that's what all scripting languages etc. do, and all visual programming tools do, and all plain-language programming languages do
i could see there being actually smart tools for this
but this is not where we're at
