Future jobs for cybereality and carmack?
I am watching ancient aliens Friday marathon right now. The episode about the God particle and cern. My day of Zen and meditation. Also just having watched the gone with the wind rerun at the theater this Wednesday, a thought plays through my mind. Rhett fought hard to win Scarlett but in the end he walked away from her, he just wanted peace.
Years ago I met met with Mike abrash at Valve to demo the prototype hmd, no fresnels, it was magic. Like the first time I had sex with my highschool sweetheart. Today we still have fresnels with Go. Kevin has just posted the reality of the industry with superdata, the fourth wave has peaked. While smoking a cigar newly bought at a local shop Kevin and myself were at the first steam Dev days after party, speculating on the masses of developers to be wiped away believing hype. I feel it is a very safe call to say carmacks prediction of a billion humans in VR, even in a decade or so, is not viable. Still I want to thank mark z for his investment, it did change outcomes. The dreamer in me is thankful, the cold blooded capitalist in me would never trust his decisions of prediction again.
The best minds and gobs of money have shot their wad and here we are. Not even a million daily unique users, the magic point given to me by many experts as the singularity point. It was a fun ride though, my fun being the most important part to me. I saw the best and worst of some humans come and go.
Like Rhett Butler, let's have peace. Where would the community like to see cybereality and carmack wind up? Stay on with oculus if it survives as some small appendage of Facebook? Move to some other part of the Facebook empire? Leave Facebook to some smaller upstart? Fly to Mars at the secret NASA colony with ancient aliens? Wishing everyone well. (Except Palmer, that lying used car salesman son can burn in Hades, but Hillary is still not in jail!)
