Apple is probably releasing their VR/AR product this year, which means they're probably going to patent a *bunch* of stuff which is wildly obvious but just coincidentally has never been shipped before. So it's occurring to me it is a good idea to start publicly documenting various "hey, you know what would be a good idea to do in VR" ideas, so we can point to it as prior art when the lawsuit happens.

Some things I've been thinking about for years:

Thinking more people are going to engage with you on mainstream social media “because everyone’s there” is like thinking people at a stadium concert are there to listen to you. It‘s only true if you’re one of the ones on stage. Not so much when you’re huddled in the nosebleeds.

Forget the numbers. Forget about “going viral” (leave it to the psychopaths in Silicon Valley to make virus-like behaviour aspirational). Embrace the joy of interacting with one another on a human scale.

Excited by the progress of our #MetaTraversal collab, streaming together today as we jumped across portals on the open 3D web (WebXR) in a mix of VR, mobile AR & XR devices with desktop & mobile for testing.

Today's varied portal jumps had us leap from Hyperfy, JanusWeb, Hubs, FrameVR.io, VRLand.io, Croquet, Ethereal Engine, ImmersSpace and a networked A-Frame space -- many already network through portals to your other 2D & 3D worlds.

The open (source) metaverse is here & it's on the 3D web

A class-action lawsuit filed against GitHub Copilot, its parent company Microsoft, and OpenAI claims open-source software piracy and violations of open-source licenses. Specifically, the lawsuit states that code generated by Copilot does not include any attribution to the original author of the code, copyright notices, or a copy of the license, which most open-source licenses require.
