I have probably been guilty of this myself! Its fair to promote your work, but copying tilt brush or a cooking app or a virtual pet or whatever it is from slightly older to slightly newer hardware isn't all that innovative unless you genuinely rethink for that new context.
Something that has always really bugged me, and I don't quite know how to put my finger on, is that with each wave of tech/tools a bunch of people basically reinvent the 10 most obvious ideas, that have been reinvented 25x times but pretend to be the first.
Four highly stylized, sculptural humanoid figures standing side by side against a plain gray background. Each figure has a distinct, avant-garde design with intricate surface textures and bold color choices, giving them a futuristic appearance.

Every week I'm like: this is the week I'm going to gain back control of everything!
Let's make amazing virtual realities, but not ruin our only actual reality in the mean time.

So nice to see @auriea.bsky.social at @arebyte.bsky.social
I love the olympics, and I don't mean any shade but there's a little too much coverage of curling. I am just not into it so much I want 4 hours of it every day.
Mixed Team Relay skating is so fast, wow

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

These are all really interesting issues to be thinking about. Its interesting in the context of world models, but also a wider point about shared creative work.

So old world media is now entirely a mouthpiece for those in power, utterly compromised, and corroded to the core. And the only new credible alternative is paywalled Substacks? No shade to the journalists at all, we all need to make money.
Super simple foundation running on IOS for a larger project we have tons of ideas for over at OHI Studio, which at its core:
→ Recognises anything around you
→ Translates into your preferred language
→ You learn new words wherever you go
→ Get help with day to day stuff while abroad
This concept was first developed for the Snap Spectacles. Its actually perfect for a smartglasses formfactor, lightweight and versatile. bsky.app/profile/anri...
