<p>Huge way to get pink eye as well :P<p>I agree that the price is the barrier. If it was around $1k I would MAYBE think about buying one. I'm curious to see what the newer Valve headset retails at, even though that's more for play than for work.</p>

<p>The extension capability is much less powerful than VSCode (no embedded web view) so it's a lot harder to pull off crazy stuff. All of the language support is done via language servers.</p>

Then he is able to sit in a police facility and observe his housemates through "holo-scanners", audio-visual surveillance devices that are placed throughout the house.<p>When will we need to start wearing "scramble suits"</p>

<p>The problem is that this mode of operation for them works - they get the features made in a fraction of the time it used to take, the feature does what it says on the tin, they feel good about pushing the product in a specific direction. If something goes wrong, the AI can fix it, too.<p>I'm not sure that there's really a "bomb" hiding in here anywhere. The issue is that it IS "reasonable" now to expect big features to be done within a week.</p>

<p>The bet that management is making is that the AI will continue to improve and that it will be able to fix those issues on the cheap - so far this has proven to be true for us. We use AI to generate code at scale, that code has issues at scale, so we use AI to fix those issues.</p>

<p>Right - knowing what to actually build always has been and always will be the limiting factor to actual success. I could spend months and hundreds of dollars generating the absolute BEST todo list that's out there but nobody wants that.</p>

<p>This is great until the "gun to your head" is your skip-level manager demanding that a feature be implemented by the end of the week, and they know you can just "generate it with AI" so that timeline is actually realistic now whereas two years ago it would have required careful planning, testing, and execution.</p>

<p>> Soon, all meetings will be recorded, transcribed and stored in a well-indexed place for the agents to search when faced with ambiguity (free startup idea here!)<p>We were doing that over at Vowel a few years back, unfortunately it didn't pan out because you're competing directly against Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, etc. They are all (slowly) catching up to where we were as a scrappy startup 4 years ago.<p>It was truly game-changing to have all of your meetings in an easily searchable database. Even as a human.</p>

<p>I think about this a lot - on HN and elsewhere online, there's an outsized portion of people who are likely to see use in AI. If you're online, you're on a computer and you're likely to also do office work that an AI can help with / do for you.<p>I don't think a majority of people will find it actually useful in the long run. I do game development as a hobby outside of work and every artist I know is outright hostile towards any sort of AI, to the point that they are dropping out of any community that so much as allows any mention of AI workflows.<p>I know that OpenAI is at least exploring "AI as entertainment" (Sora) but it has yet to be seen if that will be widely accepted or profitable. I've also been reading about teens talking to chatbots more and more rather than talking to real people, which seems like it will only end in mental health disasters.</p>
