This article introduces a practical exercise to structure ethical discussion around emerging technology (i.e. AR/VR, BCI or avatars). Originally the work of @meshula, we iterated & expanded over the past few years and are happy to share it more broadly now https://t.co/eLXno558HP

@paularambles Yay! The old description of the teapot was wrong and they’ve fixed it since my last visit

[Dimitri Diakopoulos @ddiakopoulos]

A Utah Teapot! The Computer History Museum in Mountain View is amazing but the description here is wrong. Newell clarified at the VR@50 event during SIGGRAPH 2018 that the teapot was squished for purely aesthetic reasons.

@DShankar @OptimumTechYT please put a few more asymmetrical LEDs around the unit for maximum vibes

If you never heard of SWG from "back in the day", this thread is probably not for you, but dang, wouldn't I love it if @raphkoster logged in one day to see all the people who desperately love one of the most unique MMOs ever designed.

[Dimitri Diakopoulos @ddiakopoulos]

I've been playing a lot of the ill-fated 2003-2011 Star Wars Galaxies MMO (SWG). Every year or so I would check up on the SWGEMU project and they seemed to be making good progress re-engineering the game's backend...

[Dimitri Diakopoulos @ddiakopoulos]

If you've made it this far, you can certainly tell I'm pretty excited that this dead MMO still exists in a playable state, complete with active player cities and guilds, and fueled with modern community-building through Discord.

Relevant 27 years ago, and relevant today.

[Dimitri Diakopoulos @ddiakopoulos]

The simple explanation is that i’m just getting old. Caught myself today deeply in the zone with a “early 2000s trance bangers” playlist.

Games were better in the 90s with full motion video cut scenes. Bring those back!
