It’s nuts to pay for commercials. More people have antennas (or griddles or whatever they are now) than get credit.

Always been fascinated by the craft of film titles. Powerpoints could be so more engaging with less words and more music.

The Blues Brothers IS the soundtrack. Nobody remembers Twiggy was in it.

Favorite quote of all time: “ You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”

None of it is very good yet. It’s got a long way to go.

Too bad they’re not on phones. But also, it’s a slog to make a room and if you can do that, you probably want a mouse

It’s a heavy lift (prob even a tarpit to investors) but you can’t blame people for trying.

You can also do this in AR on your phone (and even cardboard): https://sketchfab.com/models/78e5d822497e4cd7bc14308bab8f7df...

I'd see that as evidence that the visualization is doing its job. It's much cheaper to discover "I wish the ceiling were 2" higher" before anyone starts building than after. The challenge is reducing the cost of each iteration. That's where newer tooling starts to matter.
