After a decade working in XR at Big Tech, I've missed talking openly about the industry 🥲
Trying my first podcast convo w/ Siciliana Trevino. We're sharing some honest reflections on where we feel XR is today.
First podcast + learning! Feedback welcome. https://t.co/Ko1D0TobD5
Instagram decided to roll out a new “Muse AI” feature, that lets users create AI images based on people’s Instagram photos.
Then they opted in EVERYONE with a public account

Years ago, the most memorable launches solved problems almost anyone could understand. 1 device instead of 3. VR for “spatial computing”
Today, presentations feel like they’re speaking to investors, creators, & the tech industry itself vs the ppl we want to use these products.
Watch the full podcast ft. Siciliana Trevino on YouTube (or Spotify and Apple Podcast) using Google I/O’s ‘intelligent eyewear’ as a case study to understand which product narratives get constructed https://t.co/Lt39WoWHd2
Did you also wonder why Google called it 'Intelligent Eyewear.' Not smart glasses. Not AI glasses. Intelligent. The rebrand alone says everything about where tech industry is at right now. New episode out 👇 Also on Spotify & Apple Podcast #XR#VRPodcast https://t.co/7zISdVSf1f
Super proud 🇭🇹😭⚽️ 52 years! They were exceptionally fast, great control but clearly psyched themselves when it came to actually scoring. Felt like the team just needed to truly believe they could win and it was a mental block more than anything. (Poor Ref Calls aside)
No olvidar que estos muchachos ni siquiera pudieron jugar la eliminatoria en Haití. Y es que el estadio de Puerto Príncipe donde jugaba la selección fue vandalizado y tomado por pandillas. Siempre fueron visitantes.
Así clasificaron al Mundial. Y hoy, en su regreso a la Copa tras 52 años, actuación muy digna ante Escocia.
De pie ante los Haitianos✊🏿
This new ‘Social VR’ ad seemed to be missing something 🤔…perhaps an intentional decision? Check out the clip from the most recent Podcast episode “The Existential Crisis of a Tech Enthusiast”https://t.co/9DJZZZ933A

“You can’t pack up your virtual world and move it when the platform shuts down. You can’t take your avatar, your community, or the memories you made there.” -S
That loss is real. Let’s have a real conversation about it:
New episode! (YT or Spotify 🎧) https://t.co/NlrUMb7N8t
We talk about platform risk in business terms. Rarely in human terms.
For world/community builders, embodiment means platform loss isn’t abstract. It’s *visceral* grief.
We’ve been through this cycle enough times now. What does actually supporting builders thru it look like?

@SecretErik@KiliaXeno You do realize they replace Bond every 2 business days in the franchise with a ***completely different person**. There's nothing consistent about the James Bond character that carries over bc everyone he loves gets killed off. 'White' is not his defining trait, 'British' is.
In this clip, @NeildaLikeZelda shares how attending/creating Builder communities expanded her tech career and amplify opportunities for ppl + tech innovation. I can relate, which begs the question, how more effective are they to submitting resumes alone? https://t.co/pTFZrP7deI
