Making LeCun report to Wang was the most boneheaded move imaginable. But… I suppose Zuckerberg knows what he wants, which is AI slopware and not truly groundbreaking foundation models.

Carmack laid the foundation for the all-in-one VR headsets.

Hopefully one day, in a galaxy far far away, someone builds something on those foundations.

You joke, but the Star Wars games - especially the pinball one, for me at least - are some of the best experiences available on Quest headsets. I've been playing software pinball (as well as the real thing) since the 80s, and this is one of my favorite ways to do it now, which I will keep coming back to.

And Carmack complained about the bureaucracy hell that is Facebook.

Coming from a small company like iD, it must have been quite the shock.
