VR has a major app discovery problem. A lot of the coolest games and experiences go missed.

Since a few thousand VR folks follow me, I thought I'd try to help out by surfacing gems.

Here are three cool VR apps/experiences that came out this week that you should check out: 👇

[Tesla Optimus @Tesla_Optimus]

Was just getting warmed up

@andyweirauthor did you get to see the recent PHM trailer, what did you think and even more importantly any idea when mere mortals may get to see a trailer?? So excited for this film!

@elonmusk Need to see it run. How long to train for a running gait, can the actuators keep up? It'd be cool to see i-robot style running :)

@rookisaacman @realDonaldTrump Woooaah @rookisaacman fantastic news!

I am delighted to nominate Jared Isaacman, an accomplished business leader, philanthropist, pilot, and astronaut, as Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Jared will drive NASA’s mission of discovery and inspiration, paving the way for groundbreaking achievements in Space science, technology, and exploration.

Over the past 25 years, as the Founder and CEO of Shift4, Jared has demonstrated exceptional leadership, building a trailblazing global financial technology company. He also co-founded and served as CEO of Draken International, a defense aerospace company, for over a decade, supporting the U.S. Department of Defense, and our Allies.

Jared’s passion for Space, astronaut experience, and dedication to pushing the boundaries of exploration, unlocking the mysteries of the universe, and advancing the new Space economy, make him ideally suited to lead NASA into a bold new Era.

Congratulations to Jared, his wife Monica, and their children, Mila and Liv!

This is wild.

OpenAI just dropped Sora that generate AI video just from text.

The Videos look insane.

1. Chinese New Year Dragon

[Borriss @_Borriss_]

It is a historic day for AI.

The new text-to-video model by OpenAI Sora can generate videos indistinguishable from real ones.

I once heard Hans Zimmer say something like:

"Every time I'm hired to write a movie score, I'll feel like I'm making no progress for weeks. I'll feel like I should go to the director and confess that I can't do it... but then all of the sudden it starts to come with me, bit by bit"

If Hans Zimmer feels that way, one of the greatest movie composers of all time, that probably means everyone's going to feel that way at some point

I try to remember this whenever I'm feeling stuck on a project! (Easier said than done though)
