@TomSteyer @WSJopinion Breakup PG&E and commit more to public transit

The @WSJopinion views my campaign for governor as a threat. And they're right. It’s a threat to the utility monopolies charging Californians 2x the national average. wsj.com/opinion/tom-st…

@businessbarista Virtual reality simulation of curricular or historical lab experiments that accompany moocs to help students get more tangible understanding of concepts as well as getting more hands on experience

What’s a business idea you think would crush? I’ll give it a score 1-10 & a lil feedback.

@developRHUNT Quest pro def better than quest 2, but the sound quality is often annoying

Anyone here buy the Quest Pro and still loves it

@benz145 I agree. Headsets are getting lighter and better in quality much faster than games and software being developed for VR. Especially want to emphasize that VR needs more experiences that are not games

The thing VR needs the most right now is better games and software, not better hardware. VR will continue to plateau until that happens.

Games are basically all the 7 artistic mediums together, no? Film = Cinematics Music = Songs Painting = 2D Art Literature = Story Architecture = Environment design Sculpture = Character design Performing = Voice/Animations How could this not be the ultimate art form?

@vrbosenet What are your thoughts about modding existing games for VR? Do you think it brings people to enjoy VR more?

But if visual immersion is additive and not fundamental to a game, then it usually makes me want to take off the headset and play something else where either my physicality matters in VR, or it doesn't, and I inevitably hunch over and lock back onto my monitor

I like chess. I like VR. But that doesn't mean I like chess in VR. Let me unravel that ball of yarn in precisely 6 more tweets.

@johncoogan Newell brands - use a lot of office supplies from them from sharpies to whiteboard markers

what's your favorite company that has a terrible business? i.e. you love the product but the stock has been in the trash for years. yes, Elon Twitter is the most obvious example here, but what are other good examples?

@CixLiv For a mixed reality headset, I’ll take it. Hololens is 3500 and Varjo XR3 is at 6500. Compared to those, very affordable

$1499.... thoughts?

In my experience, smart founders are always hunting for advantages in the early stage because they understand how hard it is to find product market fit. They want to figure out how to slightly bend the odds in their favor.

@hrafntho Yeah I can’t disagree. A lot of people play VR for first time, really impressed by it, but most don’t find long term value in using VR headsets.

@anshelsag It’s mainly a crypto hype train, just like NFTs and crypto tokens. Just people hoping that price of their land will rise. Why pay for a virtual land that is not tangible, has no utility and can expand indefinitely?

Can someone PLEASE explain to me why owning virtual land in the 'metaverse' makes any sense unless that virtual land is in a place that people want to be and are already using? I really don't get it.

As a Metaverse designer, I approve of this chart 🧙‍♂️

This post really captures the nature of technology. With each iteration cycle and (hardware) technology breakthrough, there is another term that is added to the similar concept. A recent example of this would be machine learning. Even just a decade ago,…lnkd.in/gw3TqvDQ
