@whimdotrun We made some internal tooling and skills to try and solve for this. But would love to check it out

[Daniel Sisson | @ the cross of XR & Comp Vision @danielsisson]

the craziest thing about using AIs is that the job didn't get easier, just one part of it. Now it's more time on thinking and less on coding, but the job isn't easier. The thinking: problem solving, designing, prioritizing, managing... that's the whole job now.

@peer_rich this basically just what color do you want to die in?

[Daniel Sisson | @ the cross of XR & Comp Vision @danielsisson]

@JustinPBarnett I keep one foot in XR because I like XR, and because I hope one day it does take off

[Daniel Sisson | @ the cross of XR & Comp Vision @danielsisson]

Some people are naturally drawn to making computers do stuff, they're already coding. AI is leverage

There's a small group of dabblers or dev adjacent folks that will join in too

AI grows the dev pool, but only a bit
You still need that core itch to build

// great convo thread

@jmdagdelen I think they had dabbled very lightly, like maybe built a blender script by copy and pasting, but never really programmed.

Programming requires a ton of effort to do ANYTHING. It's a very steep learning curve IMO. Just not worth it for most people.

[Daniel Sisson | @ the cross of XR & Comp Vision @danielsisson]

I might be the best use case for AI.
I have a reasonable amount of dev experience, am reasonably intelligent, curious and into active learning.

I've never learned more and accomplished more technically than I have in the last 12 months.

For me, it's more like, "VR is very cool, but needs to be one of many cool things I'm working on, not the only one"

[Justin Barnett @JustinPBarnett]

I'm done with VR. The novelty wore off.

[Daniel Sisson | @ the cross of XR & Comp Vision @danielsisson]

@jmdagdelen Brooooooo, I cannot wait, the book was epic.

[Daniel Sisson | @ the cross of XR & Comp Vision @danielsisson]

@JustinPBarnett @anduriltech There some interesting corollaries, shouldn't be too hard. Let's chat

[Daniel Sisson | @ the cross of XR & Comp Vision @danielsisson]

@p_millerd High salary people in tech, finance, exec enterprise roles often live pretty disconnected from real life.
I have a friend making 400k+ a year, wants to start a startup but needs millions in day one funding because he can't imagine paying himself something like 100k a year.

[Ben Lang @benz145]

Most of you will say "who the hell needs this?" But like 5% of you will say "where has this been my whole life?"

The Reverse Scheduler app I've been building is about to kick off alpha testing 🚀. This tool for Google Calendar helps you plan *backwards* from big events (flights, parties, etc). Make a simple itinerary with what needs to be done, and how long it will take, no last-minute chaos.

Sign-up for the alpha here: https://t.co/IougSfDkRl

The Meta Rayban with display is going to be dope, can't wait to try

[Daniel Sisson | @ the cross of XR & Comp Vision @danielsisson]

@_juliettech Zuck is pushing the boundaries forward despite constant criticism. Super admirable.

@hthieblot Just always eat dinner with the kids. You can work more after dinner, but sit down and eat with your kids.

[Daniel Sisson | @ the cross of XR & Comp Vision @danielsisson]

live demo failure aside, I like where Meta's going with the AR glasses. These things are going to be huge over the next 5-10 years.

[Daniel Sisson | @ the cross of XR & Comp Vision @danielsisson]

@TheWireWhiz Hmmmm... what would be the car?

I kinda see AR glasses as a phone replacement and stepping stone to VR for a lot of people. Like how most gamers are moms playing candy crush, but that benefits the whole gaming industry... My theory is most XR users will be AR glasses normies

[Daniel Sisson | @ the cross of XR & Comp Vision @danielsisson]

@ffe_3301 @j_g_allen No, that's also corrupt

[Daniel Sisson | @ the cross of XR & Comp Vision @danielsisson]

the Meta Rayban path is the correct path to eventual mainstream XR adoption - sneak it up on them

[Daniel Sisson | @ the cross of XR & Comp Vision @danielsisson]

@ankurnagpal 've already made a ton of mistakes, but would love to read this

[Daniel Sisson | @ the cross of XR & Comp Vision @danielsisson]

@jmdagdelen @InnerBushido @cixliv That sounds great, how's your week?

[Daniel Sisson | @ the cross of XR & Comp Vision @danielsisson]

I'm in SF for a couple days, anyone cool I should meet in XR, AI, or other emerging tech?
