I really dislike this view of the world. Maybe VR is a folly but the innovation we have gotten in this world has come from “burning money”, sometimes it does not work out.

I also how simple we like to make the argument. How we could have instead spent money that “benefited everyone”. Who decides that? I don’t think governments, nonprofits, or other gatherings of people do a better job and probably are actually much worse at it.




Right. GPU tech came about because people wanted to render cool pictures on a computer screen or make 3D games playable on commodity hardware.

Now there are data centers full of them.
