The more ingrained we are in virtual reality, the less we'll pay attention to actual reality. In turn, giving full control to the higher ups in society.
I think one of the most powerful clips from the commercials that you're showing of this device is a father watching his children play and then he puts on the device. Like the beautiful moment of watching your children play isn't good enough not to be augmented.
I think it was a bad example. The technology that could actually be useful. As an event photographer/cinematographer, i could see someone hiring me to film a 3D wedding mini-movie. People don’t want to take their own pics and videos at events, but i could see someone putting on a headset to watch a 3D video of their wedding, done by a professional.
It’s not that it wasn’t good enough, it was that he wanted to capture the moment. Unfortunately, putting on throes goggles just removes you from the moment and honestly any sort of sentimentality to be found. Rather than relish in the moment of seeing your kids play, you feel this is something to be captured and shared. Some moments deserve to exist simply in the moment. That’s why we call it the present
I will not be jumping on the virtual reality bandwagon, ever. Real life, human interaction, and nature is too beautiful to take for granted. Thank you for this thorough video.
No, vr as an way of gaming is great and you should definitely try it. But we are talking about implementing vr into our lives, which is gonna be not that great.
Vr itself is fine. I mean, you'll never be in a racecar on a racetrack, so it's cool to simulate this with gran turismo. But replacing something, that you can easily do in real life... is devestating.
@@Adeyum64 " you'll never be in a racecar on a racetrack, so it's cool to simulate this with gran turismo" and "but replacing something, that you can easily do in real life... is devestating." dont work and defeats the entire point😅. do shit for real go look at some trees
@@Stalitic Wtf are you even saying? You act like I never go outside. You know what, okay go on a racetrack right now. It's that easy right? Istg, let people just have fucking fun in their lives and don't act superior just because you're half amish.
@@Staliticyeah no sorry but can i kill people in real life? Can i play 0 gravity space frisbee in real life? Explore hundreds of planets in real life?
During the Apple launch video they showed a father 'interacting' with his small kids whilst wearing this thing on his face. At that moment I realized a lot of what you've said in this video. The way that Apple tried to normalize child/parent interaction through a holographic bit of glass was dystopian.
Lowkey I think we are already there. I don’t see the difference with parent recording their kids on their phone. At least now they have their hands free 🤷🏽♀️. Not that I would but I’ve seen too many parents immediately take the video of their kid, edit, post and continue scrolling on their phone
No one is forcing no one to use it. and no one i know personally would even consider it. But the majority of people think they need it because they gave up on reality a long time ago...probably without even knowing it.
Within a month of the Vision Pro being released, I anticipate the "Vision Pro Month Challenge" to appear where a person does not take it off for a month while they live their life.
and this will cause their fans to want to do the same or other tiktokers or whatever till it becomes mainstream and were stuck in the trap they created just how they imagined it....
It's so sad my parents were so happy when they were little and they tell me stories of being close to all their neighbors and always just going to their house without knocking just walking in and having dinner together and hanging out and watching TV together. So sad the world I live in is so alone and I'm brainwashed to believe buying expensive items will fill that hole
I once freaked out and ran out our house and to the next house with lights on, two houses away, crying and ran in on them eating dinner. I didn't even know them, but they knew I was one of my families kids. They called my parents and told them I was there and calmed down. I had dinner with them and the mother walked me back to our home. So common back then. As teenagers we would sometimes go live with friend's because we got along with their parent's better. During summer, I would look across the street at a little park and if there were people I knew they were playing a game and would walk over and wait for an older kid to assign me a team. I would go back there in an instant and would love to have my kids live there instead of this nightmare.
You can still do all of those things nowadays. I’m gen Z and when I grew up I always played basketball with my neighbors in the street, ate dinner with their families, and went on walks at the dog park together. Sure we played video games, had our nights in, and used iPhones and whatnot but it all depends on how you use the technology. These new technologies can be addictive but if you use them in the correct way they can enhance the life you live and the lives of the people around you as well. I see Vision Pro as a means to more easily interact with the technology that I already use today but in a more compact and advantageous way. If you’re afraid of your children getting addicted, either don’t let them use these products or teach them the correct ways they should be used. Vision Pro isn’t just a milestone for personal use: it will change the way we work with colleagues and could be used for people with disabilities like ALS. Technology will continue to evolve and become more rooted into our every day lives. Instead of longing for the past, look towards the future.
I'd always prefer actual reality and connecting with nature. No headset can replace the feeling of walking in the woods and listening to the birds talk while hearing a stream right next to you.
my friends don’t get why going to the beach and then just watching the waves crash all day is more than enough for my saturday. lil tunes, some grub. watching the sailboats go by, some close some far. maybe i’ll throw a ball around or something. but just being there, in the sea breeze with the sounds of birds and wind and the waves crashing against the rocks … i could sit there for hours, just being there. and normally, i’m a very short-attentioned person. sleep w tv on, play too much xbox. there’s no denying we’re meant to be connected with nature
@@milessmiles99 You've got it! Connecting with nature like that is good for both our physical and mental health. You're able to truly appreciate things and you can get some deep thinking done as well.
@@toasteroven6761 Yes! My sister is able to hand feed the birds she's been observing from her apartment. They are so smart that they've figured out all the little puzzles she's made to give them rewards for completion. Can't copy that in VR.
It is so crazy to think that we are currently living in the years where our society slowly starts creeping into what all those “sci fi cryberpunk dystopian society” movies have shown us. Not saying it’ll be as bad as some of those societys, but its crazy to see fiction become reality.
We still have time to change it. Not enough people are fighting back that's the problem. This technology can bring so many benefits but sadly no one is going to fight for that to happen it seems
The fact that we already have in front of us screens thinner than the finger, that by pressing buttons or simply the screen, through which we can communicate with anyone instantaneously in this universal existence, or that through them we can find out any written, audio or video information on the planet, instantaneously, is already inconceivable and far beyond magic..
For me. The best thing i ever did was quitting social media. I only watch RUclips sometimes. But I’ve never been happier since i got a job as a carpenter at 17 and started spending my spare time with sports or just outside. I now also teenagers about carpentry and construction. I think we need less technology and more hammers and saws if we want to make society better.
The best way to make society better is to understand that everyone is different and there is no one size fits all mentality, accept and embrace the differences in others and stop making them things you think are best for them
I used to fantasize about tech like this when I was much younger. Now I see the direction it's heading and I'm not optimistic. I feel like these corporations are going to kill the planet while pacifying us with hyper addictive tech that preys on our psychology.
I was gaming on average 2-3 hours a day,now i know how much waste of time it was,don't get me wrong gaming is amazing but they want us to be docile and weak,weak in the mind and in the body and when the economy gets worse and worse we can't do shit.
As someone who grew up in a place that was agricultural and spent the majority of my time outside and then the city encroached and turned it into subdivisions, I believe this is a way to help people escape their mundane and pointless lives. It was so depressing being tethered to 4 walls and no space, it felt like an open air prison… this is just an artificial escape from that life… hello idiocracy.
Not gonna lie. I enjoy VR and the advances it has made. It allowed a friend's husband that is quadriplegic and quite ill with a compromised immune system to at least see places he unfortunately may never see in person. It has it's uses but I am against the idea of this becoming commonplace to be used as an everyday wear item like we use our smartphones. Love technology but I can't imagine a world where you reality is going to be altered and controlled 24/7. Even as a tech geek I recognize the need for getting outside and interacting with the real world and real people ( something that is hard to do as a very introverted person but I always feel the benefits of it afterwards. ) If we think the current generation is overstimulated and depressed because of the constant bombardment of targeted ads, news, fake social media celebrities...this could be much, much worse.
I call bullshit on that. You're still enclosed by 4 walls. It's never going to feel or smell like being outside. It's just marketing hype that idiots eat up every time apple farts.
The only way to escape a mundane and pointless life is to act on it and make it meaningful. You wont acheive that by disconecting further from reality and other people, you'll just be a mundane and pointless content consumer. How will you escape that?
the human mind was always supposed to have dull and mundaine moments, it's essential for you to even connect with your feelings and deal with your anxiety.
@@VideoCesar07 The overstimulation rebound is very real. There is sometimes an insatiable craving for entertainment after seeing modern entertainment with second by second dopamine rushes. I started recognizing this as actual withdrawals a short while ago. Powerful ones.
Try checking your Apple Vision at work. Try to hang out with your friends and put on your Apple Vision to check something real quick. Try being on Apple Vision for more than 3 hours without straining your eyes. Addiction is related to convenience, there's nothing more dangerous than the small pocket screens that we already have that keep us chained 24/7 without rest. You can take off your Apple Vision and it's over, you can turn off your phone and your mind is still aware that there's notifications blowing it up. It's never really off. Hell is already in your pockets, this is just an accessory for it.
It would have been more acceptable if the main mission were to use virtual reality as a tool to teach people different sets of skills through simulated experiences that feel real. I’ve always had hopes as a child that simulations of real life would replace the classroom. Which would change the world for the better. Fuck school id rather roll dice on this being our new teachers. People who know how to use common sense, people who have character already use the internet as a way to accumulate and learn new knowledge. It would make life less time wasting and we would be able to focus on the important things in better, more informed ways I have years of wasted time spent sitting in a shitty class. I would have rather interacted with something that actually made my time worth it Moons making it seem like everyone without exception is apart of the masses who need people to think for them and so forth, when that is truly not really the case. Many see life through a lense which filters useful information from unimportant bullshit. Not everyone is brainwashed and procrastinating. Most people delete social media when they reach a certain age to concentrate on more enlightening websites
It’s not always about ‘solving a problem’. Sometimes it’s about showing a better way of doing things which in hindsight makes the way you were doing things before a ‘problem’.
We need socialism again, capitalism is destroying everything and reaching its limits. However, nothing can be done, because the youth are restricted from any kind of work that can be used to change things, and propaganda/muddled news is rampant, shaping the minds of people and preventing them from doing anything, because they've been brainwashed. It's a shame, because we could do so much to save ourselves, but the older generations continue to drive us away by gaslighting and manipulating us, while restricting us from gaining any real power and making it difficult so they and their elite stay in power and they do not lose it.
Agreed. The craziest thing is that the concept of this technology has lived in sci-if since the beginning, its dangers always imagined. Feels like “we were so preoccupied with whether or not we could, we never stopped to think if we should.”
You can just predict that it will enhance the problems, which were created by social media and smartphones. These are already relevante and they can be really solved.
I am constantly feeling like I want to escape this attachment to the screens in my life. I think of all the hours I've spent staring at these things. The idea of developing an addiction to a virtual reality where I could feasibly stare at a screen every waking hour is terrifying. It's already hard enough to escape and even when you put the phone down, the people around you can't do the same. It's as if we're all prisoners conditioned to believe we're free.
Exactly, thats fucked up. My screen time per day is like 2h to solve all the shit with my work and watch some shit before going to sleep. Feels so much better, i used to be on my phone 8h a day even when im working and hanging out with my friends… I escaped all that shit fr. But im addicted to smth else which is maybe even more fucked up…
Same. I try to get rid of screens as soon as I stop working at the end of the day. But it's hard, really hard. I don't look forward to a mixed reality world.
That’s just you guys just destroy your phone. Or at least delete the specific apps you use constantly. And if messaging is your ambition un friend people or tell them you can’t text anymore.
Was not expecting such a detailed and realistic review, I can't believe I haven't heard of your channel before. Thanks so much for the essays and the great work.
I'd like to note that with most new technologies, the adult entertainment industry is one that pushes the limits harder than just about any other. This was the case with the internet, file sharing, mobile devices, and "regular" vr, and I'd imagine that trend will continue here
It’s like that scene from The Good Place when Janet asked “why is it that every time a new thing is invented, humans immediately try to use it for porn?” And then Eleanor simply says “because we’re disgusting”.
Perhaps "we're disgusting" but I think that the drive to use new things for porn is just our deeper humanity trying to revolt against our false reality. We've reached a point where the most secure and comfortable societies are below replacement rates and more and more people are growing incapable of human connection and intimacy. The humans that have the least connection to our false technological reality don't have this problem, certainly not anywhere near it anyways. It's like the farther we get from our selves the more desperate we are to recreate that and we use our technology for that. We basically do that with every other fundamental human drive. Food is outlandish and abundant but it lacks true nutrition. Fawning is just simping, typically online. Fighting is either watching others fight or games. Freeze takes the form of scaring ourselves with amusement parks, movies and tv. Each one is like a elf inflicted slap in the face to go back the other way but we ignore it.
I remember my dad telling me growing up in the 80's and 90's how much different, more complicated and less innocent the world was for me. Now that I'm a dad I can't help but look at all this and feel the same.
Yep. Yep, yep, and yep. Time to become a luddite through and through! Edited to say my response isn’t sarcasm - I find myself a stranger in this new world. Change has come much faster than anyone could have ever imagined.
It was never more innocent in his day, he just didn't know about it or have it thrown in his face by media from every single direction at all times. Which... functionally ends up being the same thing less innocent, so he wasn't wrong.
I tend to disagree. I think it’s the access to information like this is what gives the impression that things are more sinister and less innocent than before. Much more awful things happened in the past in comparison. Let’s be real here, people just had less access to perspective. Nazism was totally fine from the perspective of a German. Communism, totally fine from the perspective of a Russian. Being a smoker, totally fine from the perspective of an addict (up until the last 20 years). All of the above has (most likely) a little less mortality rate than a fucking headset. Perspective.
everyone talks about its an iPhone moment and will change our lives forever, but at the end it will end up like iPad. apple is struggling for years with iPad sales go down important apps are missing and well its hard for them to convince devlopers to make even dedicated apps for iPad. while the tech community is always hyped about new products I don't see the masses hyping it up. tbh here, apples killer feature the mostly talked about was watching movies and having a FaceTime call and I don't think that will justify such a device what they showed was scrolling and swiping through 2D like interfaces not productive work at all for a reason because its meh when there is no haptic feedback.
It is exactly what Apple wants us to do, think differently. Accept the way tech companies want us to think is for their benefit more than our own. I’m a big fan of VR but I am wary because it doesn’t solve a problem, it just covers one up and creates another.
My first reaction to the Vision Pro wasn't excitement for its technologies, but a deep feeling of horror for the effects it'll have on our society forever...
It's not affecting anything. No one asked for this, it's too expensive and it literally solves nothing. It does have tech that can be used for other purposes though. I'll give them that. The eye tracking sounds great
in my Sci fi lit class, we were in our robots and ai unit when this came out. our teacher showed it to us and the whole class had very negative reactions. im glad many people are actually becoming aware of how toxic technology can become and are aware of the consequences
Nah that was just your class. There's a entire other side that agrees with this technology... Ontop of this, revolutions that make people have fomo, attract the attention of ALL. Hence why we use smart phones today.
As someone born in '99 I used to cringe when people said "I'm so glad I grew up in the 80's"... I think I understand them now. I don't want this to be my future.
It’s a weird feeling being excited for so much innovation and seeing what’s possible for our minds to accomplish, but also knowing that these advances are only here to bring our demise.
Years ago Apple repositioned themselves from a simple computer company, to a lifestyle brand. Apple products are designed, manufactured, and marketed to be a part of your lifestyle. Becoming a core component of your life is the continuation of their marketing strategy. (We poison ourselves and wonder why everything’s going downhill. Imagine how many kids grew up crying when they had their phones taken away, all entertainment fiends.)
Very true, I think somewhere shortly after the release of the original airpods they shifted toward a lifestyle brand. That’s when I started noticing all of the ad-campaigns.
Core if you make yourself dependant on it. I haven't used or needed an Apple product or any phone or computer to function in life. That's just sad if you do. It's no better then being an addict hooked to their pipe.
If society isn't moving forward, then we risk going extinct. Apple is part of that. We need to put man on Mars and we need big tech to help us do that.
@@DemonDeathAmateur2000 yes as you’re watching youtube on your phone and writing this comment from thousands of miles away and we’re able to receive it within seconds. Technology is a beautiful thing stop being a doomer and embrace change
@@kh5322 do you consider that you should embrace all change or are they any personal limits and boudaries that you set , maybe out of principles, ideals. thoses changes are decided for you by other people, is there anywhere room for free will in your philosophy of life ? Do you have a philosophy of life? Do you think you will submit to anything and take every paths they set for you?
Look, I normally watch your videos to remind myself of how nice it is to live without the constant fear of "the controlling system", but I will agree with one thing: There's a misconception right now among many in the world that happiness or a certain sense of satisfaction with one's life comes from having experiences, and though that's not far from the truth, it doesn't quite hit the mark: you have to engage in the experience, not just experience it. If someone could, right this moment, make it so you feel all the feelings an olympian feels when they win a gold medal, you would experience winning a gold medal, but it wouldn't provide that sense of satisfaction, as it doesn't come with the struggle to reach that point, nor with the build-up of emotion that gets released the moment you win. Witness less, *do* more.
yeah but think about how many people already procrastinate everything the have to do and would actually make them happier, because they settle to phone's temporary satisfaction, now imagine them with a pair of apple's vision pro, when they can actually get to see a completely imaginary world, realistic enough to make them forget even for a minute how sad reality actually is.
literally the concept of "braindances" in cyberpunk 2077 where u can literally experience moments like getting killed robbing a bank or winning the olympics
Virtual reality is, and should remain, purely an entertainment product. Once it strays beyond that, it becomes a problem. I play VR occasionally, and it is fun, but if you stray into something like VRChat, you see people who treat it like a different life. There are already people who live (and sleep) in VR (which is wild to me, as my longest VR session EVER was probably 4-5 hours, and I have over 600 hrs in vr games). If VR becomes something more than entertainment, I fear for our futures.
Ive also witnessed this and I still don't understand how they "live in VRchat".. like I love gaming, technology, and Virtual reality.. but maybe we should fear for the generations being born into this tech as they may not fully grasp what life before the internet, let alone the matrix-esque technology they'll have 30 years from now lol
@@spinolover124 we all thought the 11 was stupid design and looked like a stove…..now it’s a staple in our society. We are unfortunately getting stupider by the year
I had a terrifying dream about this once, years ago. VR tech had gotten to the point of interacting with the biological mind matrix and they were using an array of lasers where if exposed to them, your whole body felt like it was vibrating and your off! Into another world, a place with limitless experiences, the ULTIMATE entertainment. But while in this "reality" it didn't take long before some entity approached me. They were at first interested in knowing how I liked it there and then got to where if I were to stay, I had to align with it. I don't know if it were some crazy advanced A.I or something but it promptly opened my mind in front of me like some sort of minority report display. Everything I knew, every thought I had, everything was there and they started going through without my consent, changing anything that didn't align with what they wanted me to be. It was very scary and like the most sacred part of myself had been violated
@@rhy9424 Interesting you say that.. I've loved the idea of VR since seeing the Nintendo Virtual boy as a kid. So naturally, I was crazy over buying an HTC vive and I did. What I noticed was that shortly after, I started having instances where in real life, I felt like I was in VR for just a split second. Very strange. Anyway, a few months after I bought it, I stopped drinking. During these times I'm usually bombarded with lot of crazy dreams but this one was super f*cked. I woke up hearing this crystalline chiming sound, not like composed music but very vibrant and almost like it was affecting my cells. I closed my eyes and suddenly I was in a sort of compound, like the inside of a ship with these people in strange fancy robe-like suits, grey and light blue kinda colors. Their skin was glowing and their eyes were like sparkly deep ocean blue. The main one was asking me questions that for the life of me I can't remember but after this, the two standing at my left and right step closer. Suddenly I couldn't move, like I had been paralyzed and the two grabbed my arms and dragged me to a separate room. It was very small with silver walls and they placed me in a corner where I was looking at the entrance. It felt like a long time passed then the door opened and walking in was what looked basically exactly like a grey alien in media. It was really short cus it's head wasn't much higher than mine, being paralyzed in the corner. It walked up and looked at me almost face to face then turned around and left. As soon at this happened, two more people came in and picked me up, taking me to another place down the hall. As we got closer, I could hear people screaming and yelling in the distance but when we got to the door and it opened, it was horrible. The sound is something I never want to hear again, they dragged me into this huge room where MANY people were set up in different torture devices but everything was really high tech. I saw a guy getting snapped backward on a folding metal table all the way to where his head was to his feet and the screaming, but there were many more around getting tortured in heinous ways and then again and again. This is when I obviously tried my best to get away as my legs worked when I was brought into that room and when I ran the walls disappeared and were the Steam VR blue grid lines. I was back in my room and I could see myself lying on my bed, I tried my best to just wake up but they had some device they kept using to make it so I was back in that torture room. After like a minute of fighting between realities I finally woke up.
When you dream especially nightmares, its a way for your brain to train against a potential threat, just like running away from monsters in our dreams when we were kids, humans dozens of thousands years ago probably dreamed about being chased by bears. Your brain is simply training you against a potential threat to you being VR even though it might never happend (with for example the nightmares about monsters)
@@vipr1142 Most of Apple's behavior up to this point. Not necessarily behavior related to the headset itself, but all their other devices. One example is their constant desire to spy on their users. While most computer and phone manufacturers and OS developers do this to some degree, at least with Android you can use custom ROMs to mitigate or eliminate this risk, and desktops can run Linux if desired. Not so with Apple. Numerous little examples of them building spyware into their systems, whether that be iCloud files being scanned without user permission, connections to Apple servers being made despite user requests to prevent this, and the like, or blocking right to repair whenever possible (and when legally compelled to make repair kits, making them uneconomical to use) and lots of other examples of anti-consumer behavior that I won't get into. This is a trend that has always existed with Apple products, so it seems unlikely that they won't do something similarly dishonest or worse with these VR headsets. I have little doubt that they'll be very good quality, but I distrust it's creators.
The real issue isn't connecting to technology but disconnecting from society! Countless people will wear these everywhere, including in public and while driving!
I cannot imagine how staring at a screen mere inches from your eyes in a closed environment, coupled with the off-balance weight of the headset, is sustainable hours on end. People will start having headaches, vision problems, and other issues not encountered before, and they will push thought that for the dopamine hit.
Yes, looking at the comments about it, most are looking forward to this ball and chain!! Did they actually listen to the video? People are little more than children now!
@@RuddsReels It's really unfortunate: when we all need to be the most aware of our world, many are embracing looking away and hiding behind goggles that only show you what the corporations want you to see.
So i have migraine headaches which prevents me from using vr/ar headsets atm and i think it will never change brcause i also have massive issues with mation sickness. Soo being a whimp helps me out.
Yes long term implications are the biggest question. We truly are the guinea pigs. All this tech emitting radio waves so close to us can’t be good either… then they’ll blame it on the environment.
The 2020's have been some of the most volatile years in recent decades. From covid-19, the metaverse the ai and ai art Revolution, The censoring of the internet in Canada with bill c-11, and now this. I wish I could just go back to the 2010's
it really is depressing to see how easily people are fooled into voting for the politicians that openly h*te them and want to revoke every freedom they have.
What scares me is that I don’t feel that these companies are giving anyone a choice to use these products.. you’re sort of forced to participate because you face total social isolation otherwise. Think about that. If everyone else around you is using the headset but you, how can you even interact with the “normal” world? You can’t. There will be no more normal world to interact with.
That's a good observation, and a likely scenario that society will encounter in the quickly approaching future. However, you always have a choice in everything you do and this is no different. Now is the time when you ask yourself "what is my line in the sand?" and determine how you will govern your life when this mess becomes reality. First of all, you don't need Apple or Google, or any other company in command of your data and social life; this is something that you should control. If you don't know how to separate yourself from these entities, now is the time to learn. There is ample information on YT, and otherwise about switching from big tech to alternatives. I haven't used Fakebook since 2009. This comment section is the closest thing that I use to social media, and I don't ever feel like I'm missing out on anything. This dystopian "normal world" that you describe doesn't really sound like it will be worth interacting with, if everyone has become a bunch of supplicant slaves. Again, is this important to you? There's still time to choose the wise path, and not end up as a sheep being led to their demise.
like in the book "fahrenheit 451". Refusing to comply to this will make you first an outcast and eventually a criminal. In a few generations the will of being living in real life would be seen as you have a problem for the few who will refuse to comply to this horror. The first thing that came up to my mind seeing the vision pro release is that scene from matrix when they show Neo the field where people are cultivated. Asleep, in their pod, connected to the matrix.
@@arqeph.private Sorry for the irrelevance, but If someone made a show about superheroes nowadays without having any woke or liberal ideas, and was just doing its job as a purpose, being a show about superheroes, or any other work of fiction, it wont be a "minority" of people who are against you. the only minority would be the people who arent mad at you for not having their way of thought. So I can imagine 20+ years in the future, there might not be any freedom of will. (the example presented above is only an example)
Technology will always improve human life, no matter what. People who consume social media content mindlessly are unhappy. But if you are consuming those content to get ideas, work on something, or improve yourself then you can live a better life. And the Vision Pro will be better and smaller in the future. Much like wearing glasses. We had wired telephones before and now we have smartphones much faster and better.
Amazing video. Really good for bringing all of this up! I really think that if developers and consumers cave in, this is going to be a dystopian nightmare. One thing about the downmarket right now in tech is that companies want actual measurable results. Companies aren't going to build a Vision Pro app if it won't deliver them retention or more revenue so that is going to be the huge barrier holding the adoption of Vision Pro back thankfully.
In my creative writing class about a year ago, I wrote a short fiction piece set in the year 2099. Instead of iPhones, people used a product called the Apple Eye, which is basically the Vision Pro but as contact lenses and much more futuristic. I'm starting to think that the "Apple Eye" will come much sooner than 2099.
That’s being worked on already - I saw a prototype somewhere a year or two ago. The plan is to have it powered by our blinking. Five years to Apple Vision in glasses form (without the weird eyes - that’s hopefully a workaround) at a price point equivalent to phones plus a half, ten years I think until the contact lenses version becomes possible. Twenty years maximum until this is totally normal. This is actually a lot less worrying to me than where robotics may be going. The bit Apple is not showing yet is the personal assistant in your ear telling you what to do next, you good little drone. That’ll probably be the next iteration.
In the next VR version, they will implement some AI models that will keep you more attached and addicted. That might simulate your friends and probably even create a perfect family. As a senior game dev, I see where it's all going and the saddest truth is that... no one can stop it.
We were better off years ago when you didnt have to be chronically connected to work, to get around, to talk to people, to have fun, to learn. Now it's almost impossible to be a regular functioning member of society without this poison.
@@RawShogun That's the thing though, that's not an option anymore. Here in sweden, for example, you quite literally cannot be a functioning member of society without a smartphone. Public transport requires you to purchase tickets through apps, Banking and official correspondence, such as Psychiatry, welfare,Tax payments, Insurance, all require you to sign in through an app. Bills, too! We literally cannot put our phones down without suffering devastating consequences.
The world functioned fine, and better in some ways. There are obvious advantages to an online society, but there are also huge disadvantages. And like with everything, the technology isn't inherently bad, it's the people who use and abuse it. I still manage to get along fine without a smart phone, and I still buy physical media like CD's and DVD's. Yes I am online a lot but I can live offline too.
I truly think the real market demand is not VR or AR it’s the desperation society has now to break away from technology. I think whoever figures out how to do that will offer a product people really desire
But as Apple presented the Vision Pro, this product want to be a solution for that. You don't have to Look down to your Smartphone anymore, you can Look to the real world and speak to real people. I don't know If this is so bad as it is presented in this Video. I wont buy one, but I dont See the greater Problem in this device either.
I truly appreciate this compelling and lucid video on what’s coming, and sadly, how far we’ve already fallen down this slippery slope of collective human madness.
Screw Apple. They are evil. I have also never bought an Apple product. And if they come out with a time machine, I still wont use it. They will use it to spy on me, and take my money.
I see no way that this doesn't end up being the ultimate death blow to human interaction. We're already immensely disconnected from one another and spend so much time immersed in technology. You add THIS to the equation? I legitimately fear people will just spend their lives working, then immersing themselves into this headset. It's really scary to think about.
I think the opposite is going to happen. Instead of thumbing a text message to a person, or sending a smile face, you can have them into your home and make "face contact" and maybe one day eye contact. For a lot of the 13 - 23 year olds right now, thats a big step up from texts and tik tok clips. I can't wait to sit down on a virtual couch and play some DnD or watch a tv show with my buddies across the world, sure as hell would beat a group chat or a discord chat.
Have you played games like among us or population 1 in vr? If not I recommend giving it a shot, you might be surprised by how connected you can feel to complete strangers. I’ve spent hours talking to people and making friends in vr. After all the most entertaining vr experiences are those you share with others.
@@spencerbarnes3253 true. This is far better than texting and even video calling. Sure, it's not better than, you know, an actual, real life interaction, but still, you're interacting to them, face to face.
Only until VR becomes good enough. At some point, it will accuratly get & display your facial Expressions and body language in the VR, and then its like face to face meeting people again, just with the possibility to instantly connect with everyone around the world.
The goal is to remove the removable accessories from the equation/ create "people" as they want them to be from "birth"/ hatching... They want to blend the organic humans with even more easily programmed technology, and perhaps remove most of the unnecessary organic components, which require massive amounts of food, water, etcetera, and utilize the lower maintenance technology to serve them. As for the sunglasses, yes, more seamless integration of flesh and chips is in the works and sunglasses will be a step along humans departure from the material realm.
You're the first person reviewing this product that has looked at the ramifications. Notice all the people wearing those headsets sitting in beautiful high rise living rooms in the ads. They don't show someone sitting in a crappy apartment with trash around them, escaping into a fake world.
I’m going to come back here in 10 years and applaud this man for warning others not to just jump on the VR/AR bandwagon, especially as a household necessity. What sad times, haven’t we learned that we became more addicted and disconnected by plugging in?
My thought exactly! All the ads show someone in their 5 million dollar house watching this and playing with their smiling, organically fed kids and beautiful/handsome happy, Pilatus-trained spouse ....while we in our crappy apartment in a polluted, traffic-choked city are supposed to spend all our hard-earned $$$ to watch an immersive fantasy about that lifestyle....
For now the cost of the device is beyond the reach of anyone living in a crappy apartment surrounded by trash. The people who can afford to live in the type of homes seen in the promotion videos are who this thing is being marketed to. Apple is smart enough not to advertise in a manner that makes us crappy apartment dwellers think we have a chance at getting one of these things.
This is a stepping stone for having pc chip being implanted directly into your visual cortex, and having a VR/AR overlay directly over your flied of vision.
is it? or have movies warped our perception of what's actually possible? ... Modern medicine knows less then 1 percent about how the brain and nervous system. We know nothing. This is all hype
Neuralink by Elon Musk is much more developed than most think. I believe he said they can use deep learning to decode the brain's language by matching the neural signals from the brain to what a person is seeing. Eventually they will be able to put a signal into the brain knowing exactly what it will produce. The problem is still the hardware aspect - making electrodes small enough and in high enough number at the right areas to get a good amount of data.
Sitting on the sofa with my neck pointing down at a phone, or my arm holding the phone up at a comfortable angle is a good enough reason to use a device like this. I’ll be paying attention when they get to version 4, and that battery is more usable.
For some .. maybe even the majority it will become reality. 😢 . People's faces are already buried in their devices. 😢 JESUS is our GREAT HOPE! No weapon formed against us will prosper!
@@TheUnwrittenRule03 This is a little more expensive than OF. Despite this channel's weird but transparent shilling of this thing, it is clearly a luxury product aimed at the hyper-wealthy, not kids living in trailer stacks in a fictional dystopian Ohio and Apple clearly realize that 99% of people are never going to care about AR/VR until it's either integrated in something they'd otherwise have or is cheaper than a week's groceries.
People did not accept Google glass. People did not accept the Metaverse. People aren't enthusiastic about Apple Vision Pro. Big Tech will keep trying to push this technology, but nobody wants it.
I just spent a week completely detached from internet and phone use, in a place called Lake Manapouri in New Zealand. I spent the daytime reading Lord of the Rings, and visiting some of the locations of the movies. I spent the nights enjoying the camp fire with the other guests, talking about the native bird life. This is real life and adventure. Nothing can replace it and only there did I find the deepest peace and fulfilment. I’m back now, typing this into an iPhone. I should continue reading the book - the fellowship just arrived in Lothlorien!
Once this technology gets small enough, to the size of glasses for example, then we will see mass adoption. The nReal glasses are my first thought, and if Apple, meta, or Samsung can make Ar/vr glasses that have the same level of technology that these giant headsets, then we can probably expect the majority of people to adopt it into their everyday lives. The problem with these headsets is that they are heavy and uncomfortable with long use, so for now they'll exist as a neat product to have, but won't take over until they reduce the size significantly.
Thanks for your thought-provoking content, your videos have been the main reason I've been able to drastically reduce my time spent on social media. I've been able to focus on studying more, and I now practice guitar every day in place of the time I was wasting watching RUclips shorts. I felt like I was in a hell of procrastination, superficial pleasure-seeking, and mindless consumption. I've broken out now, and I've been far less frustrated with myself since then. Keep on spreading these messages, the more people who escape this digital dystopia, the better. To hell with the monstrous organisations making a profit by addicting their consumers in such a deceptive way.
The issue is not the tech, it's how we use it. These tools, just like the smartphone, have soo much potential, but we don't know how to responsibly utilize them. I think the solution to the underlying issues is education.
@@Tate525 how he dont have a say? seems like you swallow all they force down your throat..he will be the one spending and they need his money of course he has a say! smh
@@Nerdvanna98 You are right! Fight back any way you can. People who say "you don't have a say" or "there is nothing we can do about it" are lazy cowards and have the wrong mentality that our governments and corporations have the right to control us.
The whole "you will own nothing, and be happy" I think is very much a part of this. I see people living in just sterile apartments that are made for augmented reality, where your whole life just takes place there and you rarely go outside, because everyone interacts via headsets. You would need a couch a bed, a chair and a table. The bug meat patty you are eating in real life would look like a delicious steak in augmented reality, the soy protein drink could be flavored to taste like anything you want and the color would reflect that in AR. I mean what is there to own at that point? You don't need books, music, tv, art, flowers, home decorations... nothing... it call would just be inside your headset, and the funny thing is, you will still work and pay for something that doesn't exist.... ugh.
We"ll go back to the days when we owned nothing at all and just worried about food and shelter. Back in simpler times where we didn't need to own a whole Ikea set.
Idiocracy, Wall-E, 1984, Brave New World, The Matrix, The Terminator, Ready Player One, Fahrenheit 451 - all works of art which envision this future reality to come.
Well, that title was only for an article that imagined that, but other than that, it could really help the planet, human beings pollute, and by using these glasses, the resources that were used for real things before, can be used to improve the environment. environment, avoiding trips by plane or car.
You can lock yourself in your in law apt on VR. while mayor Adam's pays you to fill your house with migrants. Maybe in san fransisco you can program it to not show feces and homeless addicts?
On one hand it’s very exciting to see this tech finally maturing, but on the other I’m freaked out because they brought Bob Iger on stage. Nothing says creepy like “let The Walt Disney Company control what you see”.
Its going to change people face structure in upcoming times, low cheekbones and people start getting ugly by wearing it for longer period of time, it truly is a double edged sword.
I'm 57. On average I have roughly 18 years of life left and I think I'll be checking out of this world at just the right time. I don't think I really want to be a part of what's coming next, evil times are on their way, it's bad now but this is just the tip of the iceberg. When I was a kid back in the 70's our vision of the future was so altruistic and utopian. Technology was going to be there to serve mankind and make life better for everyone, but we were so wrong. It turns out that technology will only serve a very few and make life better for those people who don't need the help. The rest of us will be enslaved by it, it has already made us into commodities now it's going to squeeze us until the pips squeak. And, like the idiots we are, we'll rush to buy the tech they'll use to harvest us with big shit eating grins on our faces. The future we ought to be experiencing was stolen from us by the greedy and the powerful, it breaks my heart.
It doesn’t feel to me as there is much time left for modern man. I envy people older than me now. I’m 50 and ready for a surprise ending doing something fun and exciting.
Wish I could of been born earlier to enjoy life a little longer, but hey it is what it is. This somewhat reminds me of the quote: "Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."
At 56 and just starting to really get stuck into my Bible Studies having wasted more than half my life working to please man. I can say with certainty that what we see today is nothing compared to what is coming. The good news is God wins as He always has, (and He will spare us what is coming), but there will be suffering like has never been seen before for all those who know of Him but have ignored His invitation... God Bless...
I'm 24 and honestly man just the shift of the internet from when I was 14 to now has been disappointing and not what I imagined at all, can't imagine how bad things are gonna get in the next 10-20 years

@@louistournas120 I unfortunately agree. Add to that if they are even "aware" in a sense that they understand. I've tried this approach with multiple well-educated people and have discovered that most of them reach their limits very quickly before it gets to the, "there's only so much you can do/influence" or my favorite, primarily when speaking with Americans, is "I just remove those thoughts when doing XYZ, like put them in a box in my mind or compartmentalize" So, while they might care - to a degree - it isn't enough to make the effort or to influence their decision making in any meaningful ways...
I guess the question comes to what makes the real world any better than the possibility of a world where you can be happier. People complain that its a distraction from reality, but I think thats the main reason a lot of people will buy it. Just look at people today with video games and phones. Also people have to remember that on these devices you can still be social, you don't have to meet with someone in real life to interact.
@@billgeoghegan4822 There will surely be a point in the future where you would be able to connect your brain with a virtual world, so that your 5 senses will be in the game, I won't be surprised if you could even breath in those virtual realities.

Agreed, but we fell victim To smartphones, social media, etc.. when the masses adopt new tech and it becomes the “way of life” we will become anomalies, ostracised from society, and they’ll make it damn hard for us NOT to have to succumb to using it.. eg. You would be expected to have a phone these days to be able to work. Next it’ll be, well, no VR headset, no job. No friends. Then, no microchip, no food. Etc

I legit don‘t want this to be my future I’m hardly an adult.

I wont lie my first thought wasnt "wow i really want this" but i actually felt kind of fearful for the future of my generation and future generations and their quality of life. Remember this is only the start. Soon technology will be small enough where the chips can be placed inside the frames of your glasses and soon you wont have to carry around a bulky VR headset and thats the part that scares me.
@Silk Sonic whatever you have though its still got an apple counterpart so it’s essentially the same thing. My point is this type of technology, since let’s face it samsung and other companies will catch on eventually and soon there will be multiple brands of this floating around and the existence of this technology and the fact that it completely removes you from the real world scares me. Im already experiencing being addicted to my phone, i dont need to have it in ultra-realistic VR as well.
@silksonic3927 'm stuck with apple 6s because of the cirrus logic audio chip they used that beats every single boutique audio dac in the market at 16/44.1 resolution + the headphone jack. the moment this idevice breaks, i'll have to stop listening to music forever.

true bro, it seemed interesting before, but today when today it has emerzed it makes everything so scary, you can learn anything using it, nothing difficult in learning anything or doing anything, but on other side, its dark, we will be lonely, having no purpose truly, when AI will be superior then us, though it already is then most, just it is not yet self aware and do not have a physical body yet, then what will we really be; i think we should use tech to solve basic problem like food, water and livelihood etc. but live naturally like 1995 to 2005s.

Now Gen Z can't find people to date because you HAVE to have a Tinder Platinum or an amazingly curated Instagram page, or simply be an older generation millennial dating barely legal gen z.
This is giving The Matrix vibes, less so by the initial idea that everything is fake, but that our constant interaction with devices like Vision Pro is numbing our perceptions of reality to such a scary degree, that if this comes out, we will eventually all be in pods experiencing in heaven, while our real bodies grow old and die.
Your body will grow old and die whether you're watching it or not. Looking in the mirror and seeing my real face look a little older every year isn't that great an experience... a lot of us have no chance of making real progress in life and have been stuck in our parent's home for a decade after we were supposed to become adults. All we do is watch ourselves age and feel the pain of missing out. Can you blame us for wanting an alternative?

I think one of the most powerful clips from the commercials that you're showing of this device is a father watching his children play and then he puts on the device. Like the beautiful moment of watching your children play isn't good enough not to be augmented.
I think it was a bad example. The technology that could actually be useful. As an event photographer/cinematographer, i could see someone hiring me to film a 3D wedding mini-movie. People don’t want to take their own pics and videos at events, but i could see someone putting on a headset to watch a 3D video of their wedding, done by a professional.

Lowkey I think we are already there. I don’t see the difference with parent recording their kids on their phone. At least now they have their hands free 🤷🏽♀️. Not that I would but I’ve seen too many parents immediately take the video of their kid, edit, post and continue scrolling on their phone
Looking at the advertising there main target market seems to be black people.

It's so sad my parents were so happy when they were little and they tell me stories of being close to all their neighbors and always just going to their house without knocking just walking in and having dinner together and hanging out and watching TV together. So sad the world I live in is so alone and I'm brainwashed to believe buying expensive items will fill that hole
I once freaked out and ran out our house and to the next house with lights on, two houses away, crying and ran in on them eating dinner. I didn't even know them, but they knew I was one of my families kids. They called my parents and told them I was there and calmed down. I had dinner with them and the mother walked me back to our home. So common back then. As teenagers we would sometimes go live with friend's because we got along with their parent's better. During summer, I would look across the street at a little park and if there were people I knew they were playing a game and would walk over and wait for an older kid to assign me a team. I would go back there in an instant and would love to have my kids live there instead of this nightmare.

I’m gen Z and when I grew up I always played basketball with my neighbors in the street, ate dinner with their families, and went on walks at the dog park together. Sure we played video games, had our nights in, and used iPhones and whatnot but it all depends on how you use the technology.
These new technologies can be addictive but if you use them in the correct way they can enhance the life you live and the lives of the people around you as well. I see Vision Pro as a means to more easily interact with the technology that I already use today but in a more compact and advantageous way. If you’re afraid of your children getting addicted, either don’t let them use these products or teach them the correct ways they should be used. Vision Pro isn’t just a milestone for personal use: it will change the way we work with colleagues and could be used for people with disabilities like ALS.
Technology will continue to evolve and become more rooted into our every day lives. Instead of longing for the past, look towards the future.
Having my neighbors walk into my apartment uninvited sounds like an absolute nightmare but I get the sentiment
Honestly if the highlight of their time was having dinner, I’m not too sad those times are behind us.
It’s true. Things were good. Nothing like today. If you could only VR back you’d see for yourself. And be more depressed 😂
I'd always prefer actual reality and connecting with nature. No headset can replace the feeling of walking in the woods and listening to the birds talk while hearing a stream right next to you.
my friends don’t get why going to the beach and then just watching the waves crash all day is more than enough for my saturday. lil tunes, some grub. watching the sailboats go by, some close some far. maybe i’ll throw a ball around or something.
but just being there, in the sea breeze with the sounds of birds and wind and the waves crashing against the rocks … i could sit there for hours, just being there. and normally, i’m a very short-attentioned person. sleep w tv on, play too much xbox. there’s no denying we’re meant to be connected with nature
And learning to hand feed and befriend the very intelligent crows, and finally being able to.
@@milessmiles99 You've got it! Connecting with nature like that is good for both our physical and mental health. You're able to truly appreciate things and you can get some deep thinking done as well.
They can definitely replace that with something that dumps more dopamine into you than the outside world ever could.
@@toasteroven6761 Yes! My sister is able to hand feed the birds she's been observing from her apartment. They are so smart that they've figured out all the little puzzles she's made to give them rewards for completion. Can't copy that in VR.
It is so crazy to think that we are currently living in the years where our society slowly starts creeping into what all those “sci fi cryberpunk dystopian society” movies have shown us. Not saying it’ll be as bad as some of those societys, but its crazy to see fiction become reality.
It’ll be worse
You're living in one already.
We still have time to change it. Not enough people are fighting back that's the problem. This technology can bring so many benefits but sadly no one is going to fight for that to happen it seems
believe me, it will be much, much worse than those depicted in movies
The fact that we already have in front of us screens thinner than the finger, that by pressing buttons or simply the screen, through which we can communicate with anyone instantaneously in this universal existence, or that through them we can find out any written, audio or video information on the planet, instantaneously, is already inconceivable and far beyond magic..
For me. The best thing i ever did was quitting social media. I only watch RUclips sometimes. But I’ve never been happier since i got a job as a carpenter at 17 and started spending my spare time with sports or just outside. I now also teenagers about carpentry and construction. I think we need less technology and more hammers and saws if we want to make society better.
Do what you like.
The best way to make society better is to understand that everyone is different and there is no one size fits all mentality, accept and embrace the differences in others and stop making them things you think are best for them
I used to fantasize about tech like this when I was much younger. Now I see the direction it's heading and I'm not optimistic. I feel like these corporations are going to kill the planet while pacifying us with hyper addictive tech that preys on our psychology.
This will only happen if people buy into it.

As someone who grew up in a place that was agricultural and spent the majority of my time outside and then the city encroached and turned it into subdivisions, I believe this is a way to help people escape their mundane and pointless lives. It was so depressing being tethered to 4 walls and no space, it felt like an open air prison… this is just an artificial escape from that life… hello idiocracy.
Not gonna lie. I enjoy VR and the advances it has made. It allowed a friend's husband that is quadriplegic and quite ill with a compromised immune system to at least see places he unfortunately may never see in person. It has it's uses but I am against the idea of this becoming commonplace to be used as an everyday wear item like we use our smartphones.
Love technology but I can't imagine a world where you reality is going to be altered and controlled 24/7. Even as a tech geek I recognize the need for getting outside and interacting with the real world and real people ( something that is hard to do as a very introverted person but I always feel the benefits of it afterwards. )
If we think the current generation is overstimulated and depressed because of the constant bombardment of targeted ads, news, fake social media celebrities...this could be much, much worse.
I call bullshit on that. You're still enclosed by 4 walls. It's never going to feel or smell like being outside. It's just marketing hype that idiots eat up every time apple farts.
The only way to escape a mundane and pointless life is to act on it and make it meaningful. You wont acheive that by disconecting further from reality and other people, you'll just be a mundane and pointless content consumer. How will you escape that?
the human mind was always supposed to have dull and mundaine moments, it's essential for you to even connect with your feelings and deal with your anxiety.
@@VideoCesar07 The overstimulation rebound is very real. There is sometimes an insatiable craving for entertainment after seeing modern entertainment with second by second dopamine rushes. I started recognizing this as actual withdrawals a short while ago. Powerful ones.
One form of addiction replacing another. From phone to laptop, laptop to VR. We're entering crazy world folks!
Try checking your Apple Vision at work. Try to hang out with your friends and put on your Apple Vision to check something real quick. Try being on Apple Vision for more than 3 hours without straining your eyes. Addiction is related to convenience, there's nothing more dangerous than the small pocket screens that we already have that keep us chained 24/7 without rest. You can take off your Apple Vision and it's over, you can turn off your phone and your mind is still aware that there's notifications blowing it up. It's never really off. Hell is already in your pockets, this is just an accessory for it.
Phone to laptop?
It would have been more acceptable if the main mission were to use virtual reality as a tool to teach people different sets of skills through simulated experiences that feel real. I’ve always had hopes as a child that simulations of real life would replace the classroom. Which would change the world for the better. Fuck school id rather roll dice on this being our new teachers. People who know how to use common sense, people who have character already use the internet as a way to accumulate and learn new knowledge. It would make life less time wasting and we would be able to focus on the important things in better, more informed ways
I have years of wasted time spent sitting in a shitty class. I would have rather interacted with something that actually made my time worth it
Moons making it seem like everyone without exception is apart of the masses who need people to think for them and so forth, when that is truly not really the case. Many see life through a lense which filters useful information from unimportant bullshit. Not everyone is brainwashed and procrastinating.

@@Arcanineisthebest no its not its stand alone
It’s not always about ‘solving a problem’. Sometimes it’s about showing a better way of doing things which in hindsight makes the way you were doing things before a ‘problem’.
I'm actually getting concerned with society's eagerness to embrace consumerism, products, and total, utter acceptance of marketing as gospel.
We need socialism again, capitalism is destroying everything and reaching its limits.
However, nothing can be done, because the youth are restricted from any kind of work that can be used to change things, and propaganda/muddled news is rampant, shaping the minds of people and preventing them from doing anything, because they've been brainwashed.
It's a shame, because we could do so much to save ourselves, but the older generations continue to drive us away by gaslighting and manipulating us, while restricting us from gaining any real power and making it difficult so they and their elite stay in power and they do not lose it.

If you can predict the problems a new piece of technology can bring, it’s almost certainly too late to stop it.
true words
It's never too late. I going to smash my neighbor's computer with a baseball bat to save him. We have to stop the machines taking over. Do your part.
Agreed. The craziest thing is that the concept of this technology has lived in sci-if since the beginning, its dangers always imagined. Feels like “we were so preoccupied with whether or not we could, we never stopped to think if we should.”
But that's doesn't mean you shouldn't try
You can just predict that it will enhance the problems, which were created by social media and smartphones. These are already relevante and they can be really solved.
I am constantly feeling like I want to escape this attachment to the screens in my life. I think of all the hours I've spent staring at these things. The idea of developing an addiction to a virtual reality where I could feasibly stare at a screen every waking hour is terrifying. It's already hard enough to escape and even when you put the phone down, the people around you can't do the same. It's as if we're all prisoners conditioned to believe we're free.
Exactly, thats fucked up. My screen time per day is like 2h to solve all the shit with my work and watch some shit before going to sleep. Feels so much better, i used to be on my phone 8h a day even when im working and hanging out with my friends… I escaped all that shit fr. But im addicted to smth else which is maybe even more fucked up…
I also had this epiphany and I bet it is making the ordinary fraction of society handicapped let alone help them.

It’s like that scene from The Good Place when Janet asked “why is it that every time a new thing is invented, humans immediately try to use it for porn?” And then Eleanor simply says “because we’re disgusting”.
Perhaps "we're disgusting" but I think that the drive to use new things for porn is just our deeper humanity trying to revolt against our false reality. We've reached a point where the most secure and comfortable societies are below replacement rates and more and more people are growing incapable of human connection and intimacy. The humans that have the least connection to our false technological reality don't have this problem, certainly not anywhere near it anyways. It's like the farther we get from our selves the more desperate we are to recreate that and we use our technology for that.
We basically do that with every other fundamental human drive. Food is outlandish and abundant but it lacks true nutrition. Fawning is just simping, typically online. Fighting is either watching others fight or games. Freeze takes the form of scaring ourselves with amusement parks, movies and tv. Each one is like a elf inflicted slap in the face to go back the other way but we ignore it.

I remember my dad telling me growing up in the 80's and 90's how much different, more complicated and less innocent the world was for me. Now that I'm a dad I can't help but look at all this and feel the same.
Can't agree with this enough.
Yep. Yep, yep, and yep. Time to become a luddite through and through! Edited to say my response isn’t sarcasm - I find myself a stranger in this new world. Change has come much faster than anyone could have ever imagined.
It was never more innocent in his day, he just didn't know about it or have it thrown in his face by media from every single direction at all times. Which... functionally ends up being the same thing less innocent, so he wasn't wrong.
Growing up in the 80's was a blast.
I tend to disagree. I think it’s the access to information like this is what gives the impression that things are more sinister and less innocent than before.
Much more awful things happened in the past in comparison. Let’s be real here, people just had less access to perspective.
Nazism was totally fine from the perspective of a German. Communism, totally fine from the perspective of a Russian. Being a smoker, totally fine from the perspective of an addict (up until the last 20 years).
All of the above has (most likely) a little less mortality rate than a fucking headset. Perspective.
I honestly feel like all of this is a big step in the wrong direction. Not technology wise but society wise.
Society simply shouldn't buy this expensive thing. Stay in reality.
everyone talks about its an iPhone moment and will change our lives forever, but at the end it will end up like iPad. apple is struggling for years with iPad sales go down important apps are missing and well its hard for them to convince devlopers to make even dedicated apps for iPad. while the tech community is always hyped about new products I don't see the masses hyping it up. tbh here, apples killer feature the mostly talked about was watching movies and having a FaceTime call and I don't think that will justify such a device what they showed was scrolling and swiping through 2D like interfaces not productive work at all for a reason because its meh when there is no haptic feedback.

Great comment! 👍
It is exactly what Apple wants us to do, think differently. Accept the way tech companies want us to think is for their benefit more than our own. I’m a big fan of VR but I am wary because it doesn’t solve a problem, it just covers one up and creates another.
My first reaction to the Vision Pro wasn't excitement for its technologies, but a deep feeling of horror for the effects it'll have on our society forever...

Look, I normally watch your videos to remind myself of how nice it is to live without the constant fear of "the controlling system", but I will agree with one thing:
There's a misconception right now among many in the world that happiness or a certain sense of satisfaction with one's life comes from having experiences, and though that's not far from the truth, it doesn't quite hit the mark: you have to engage in the experience, not just experience it. If someone could, right this moment, make it so you feel all the feelings an olympian feels when they win a gold medal, you would experience winning a gold medal, but it wouldn't provide that sense of satisfaction, as it doesn't come with the struggle to reach that point, nor with the build-up of emotion that gets released the moment you win.
Witness less, *do* more.
yeah but think about how many people already procrastinate everything the have to do and would actually make them happier, because they settle to phone's temporary satisfaction, now imagine them with a pair of apple's vision pro, when they can actually get to see a completely imaginary world, realistic enough to make them forget even for a minute how sad reality actually is.

Virtual reality is, and should remain, purely an entertainment product. Once it strays beyond that, it becomes a problem. I play VR occasionally, and it is fun, but if you stray into something like VRChat, you see people who treat it like a different life. There are already people who live (and sleep) in VR (which is wild to me, as my longest VR session EVER was probably 4-5 hours, and I have over 600 hrs in vr games). If VR becomes something more than entertainment, I fear for our futures.
This makes me think of that one Futurama 50's style PSA about the dangers of falling in love with AI robots. We live in a parody of life now.

I had a terrifying dream about this once, years ago. VR tech had gotten to the point of interacting with the biological mind matrix and they were using an array of lasers where if exposed to them, your whole body felt like it was vibrating and your off! Into another world, a place with limitless experiences, the ULTIMATE entertainment. But while in this "reality" it didn't take long before some entity approached me. They were at first interested in knowing how I liked it there and then got to where if I were to stay, I had to align with it. I don't know if it were some crazy advanced A.I or something but it promptly opened my mind in front of me like some sort of minority report display. Everything I knew, every thought I had, everything was there and they started going through without my consent, changing anything that didn't align with what they wanted me to be.
It was very scary and like the most sacred part of myself had been violated
@@rhy9424 Interesting you say that.. I've loved the idea of VR since seeing the Nintendo Virtual boy as a kid. So naturally, I was crazy over buying an HTC vive and I did. What I noticed was that shortly after, I started having instances where in real life, I felt like I was in VR for just a split second. Very strange. Anyway, a few months after I bought it, I stopped drinking. During these times I'm usually bombarded with lot of crazy dreams but this one was super f*cked.
I woke up hearing this crystalline chiming sound, not like composed music but very vibrant and almost like it was affecting my cells. I closed my eyes and suddenly I was in a sort of compound, like the inside of a ship with these people in strange fancy robe-like suits, grey and light blue kinda colors. Their skin was glowing and their eyes were like sparkly deep ocean blue. The main one was asking me questions that for the life of me I can't remember but after this, the two standing at my left and right step closer. Suddenly I couldn't move, like I had been paralyzed and the two grabbed my arms and dragged me to a separate room. It was very small with silver walls and they placed me in a corner where I was looking at the entrance. It felt like a long time passed then the door opened and walking in was what looked basically exactly like a grey alien in media. It was really short cus it's head wasn't much higher than mine, being paralyzed in the corner. It walked up and looked at me almost face to face then turned around and left.
As soon at this happened, two more people came in and picked me up, taking me to another place down the hall. As we got closer, I could hear people screaming and yelling in the distance but when we got to the door and it opened, it was horrible. The sound is something I never want to hear again, they dragged me into this huge room where MANY people were set up in different torture devices but everything was really high tech. I saw a guy getting snapped backward on a folding metal table all the way to where his head was to his feet and the screaming, but there were many more around getting tortured in heinous ways and then again and again.
This is when I obviously tried my best to get away as my legs worked when I was brought into that room and when I ran the walls disappeared and were the Steam VR blue grid lines. I was back in my room and I could see myself lying on my bed, I tried my best to just wake up but they had some device they kept using to make it so I was back in that torture room. After like a minute of fighting between realities I finally woke up.
I used to have dreams about VR as a kid. Like 15 years ago. Always nightmares not good things
lekker man
Yeah. I tried DMT too once.
When you dream especially nightmares, its a way for your brain to train against a potential threat, just like running away from monsters in our dreams when we were kids, humans dozens of thousands years ago probably dreamed about being chased by bears. Your brain is simply training you against a potential threat to you being VR even though it might never happend (with for example the nightmares about monsters)
Apple is definitely up to something mischievous.
What makes you think that?
@@vipr1142 Most of Apple's behavior up to this point. Not necessarily behavior related to the headset itself, but all their other devices.
One example is their constant desire to spy on their users. While most computer and phone manufacturers and OS developers do this to some degree, at least with Android you can use custom ROMs to mitigate or eliminate this risk, and desktops can run Linux if desired. Not so with Apple. Numerous little examples of them building spyware into their systems, whether that be iCloud files being scanned without user permission, connections to Apple servers being made despite user requests to prevent this, and the like, or blocking right to repair whenever possible (and when legally compelled to make repair kits, making them uneconomical to use) and lots of other examples of anti-consumer behavior that I won't get into.
This is a trend that has always existed with Apple products, so it seems unlikely that they won't do something similarly dishonest or worse with these VR headsets. I have little doubt that they'll be very good quality, but I distrust it's creators.

What scares me is that I don’t feel that these companies are giving anyone a choice to use these products.. you’re sort of forced to participate because you face total social isolation otherwise. Think about that. If everyone else around you is using the headset but you, how can you even interact with the “normal” world? You can’t. There will be no more normal world to interact with.
That's a good observation, and a likely scenario that society will encounter in the quickly approaching future. However, you always have a choice in everything you do and this is no different.
Now is the time when you ask yourself "what is my line in the sand?" and determine how you will govern your life when this mess becomes reality.
First of all, you don't need Apple or Google, or any other company in command of your data and social life; this is something that you should control. If you don't know how to separate yourself from these entities, now is the time to learn. There is ample information on YT, and otherwise about switching from big tech to alternatives.

The first thing that came up to my mind seeing the vision pro release is that scene from matrix when they show Neo the field where people are cultivated. Asleep, in their pod, connected to the matrix.
@@arqeph.private Sorry for the irrelevance, but If someone made a show about superheroes nowadays without having any woke or liberal ideas, and was just doing its job as a purpose, being a show about superheroes, or any other work of fiction, it wont be a "minority" of people who are against you. the only minority would be the people who arent mad at you for not having their way of thought. So I can imagine 20+ years in the future, there might not be any freedom of will. (the example presented above is only an example)
Technology will always improve human life, no matter what. People who consume social media content mindlessly are unhappy.
But if you are consuming those content to get ideas, work on something, or improve yourself then you can live a better life.
And the Vision Pro will be better and smaller in the future. Much like wearing glasses.
We had wired telephones before and now we have smartphones much faster and better.
Amazing video. Really good for bringing all of this up! I really think that if developers and consumers cave in, this is going to be a dystopian nightmare. One thing about the downmarket right now in tech is that companies want actual measurable results. Companies aren't going to build a Vision Pro app if it won't deliver them retention or more revenue so that is going to be the huge barrier holding the adoption of Vision Pro back thankfully.
In my creative writing class about a year ago, I wrote a short fiction piece set in the year 2099.
Instead of iPhones, people used a product called the Apple Eye, which is basically the Vision Pro but as contact lenses and much more futuristic.
I'm starting to think that the "Apple Eye" will come much sooner than 2099.
I can see that happening before 2050 forsure
You and thousands of other creative writing students! How short was it? Worth a read?
You should watch the show "The Feed"
That’s being worked on already - I saw a prototype somewhere a year or two ago. The plan is to have it powered by our blinking. Five years to Apple Vision in glasses form (without the weird eyes - that’s hopefully a workaround) at a price point equivalent to phones plus a half, ten years I think until the contact lenses version becomes possible. Twenty years maximum until this is totally normal. This is actually a lot less worrying to me than where robotics may be going. The bit Apple is not showing yet is the personal assistant in your ear telling you what to do next, you good little drone. That’ll probably be the next iteration.
@@garciaerick898 i doubt that tbh, how can such tech even be placed on contact lenses lmao its kinda impossible.
In the next VR version, they will implement some AI models that will keep you more attached and addicted. That might simulate your friends and probably even create a perfect family.
As a senior game dev, I see where it's all going and the saddest truth is that... no one can stop it.
I can. I won't be or use this tech. A smartphone is as far as I go. Problem solved.
Easy let this VR headset be a financial flop.

Stuff like this has stopped humanity from evolving.
Or just put your phone down.
@@RawShogun That's the thing though, that's not an option anymore. Here in sweden, for example, you quite literally cannot be a functioning member of society without a smartphone. Public transport requires you to purchase tickets through apps, Banking and official correspondence, such as Psychiatry, welfare,Tax payments, Insurance, all require you to sign in through an app. Bills, too!
We literally cannot put our phones down without suffering devastating consequences.
The world functioned fine, and better in some ways. There are obvious advantages to an online society, but there are also huge disadvantages. And like with everything, the technology isn't inherently bad, it's the people who use and abuse it.

I see no way that this doesn't end up being the ultimate death blow to human interaction. We're already immensely disconnected from one another and spend so much time immersed in technology. You add THIS to the equation? I legitimately fear people will just spend their lives working, then immersing themselves into this headset. It's really scary to think about.
I think the opposite is going to happen. Instead of thumbing a text message to a person, or sending a smile face, you can have them into your home and make "face contact" and maybe one day eye contact. For a lot of the 13 - 23 year olds right now, thats a big step up from texts and tik tok clips. I can't wait to sit down on a virtual couch and play some DnD or watch a tv show with my buddies across the world, sure as hell would beat a group chat or a discord chat.
Have you played games like among us or population 1 in vr? If not I recommend giving it a shot, you might be surprised by how connected you can feel to complete strangers. I’ve spent hours talking to people and making friends in vr. After all the most entertaining vr experiences are those you share with others.
Bro who tf will alienate themselves for 5000$ ? Rich people... they do not represent the human society as a whole.
@@spencerbarnes3253 true. This is far better than texting and even video calling. Sure, it's not better than, you know, an actual, real life interaction, but still, you're interacting to them, face to face.
Only until VR becomes good enough. At some point, it will accuratly get & display your facial Expressions and body language in the VR, and then its like face to face meeting people again, just with the possibility to instantly connect with everyone around the world.

you told me i'll go to the moon in the future ...
instead we'll get apple Vision pro
You're the first person reviewing this product that has looked at the ramifications. Notice all the people wearing those headsets sitting in beautiful high rise living rooms in the ads. They don't show someone sitting in a crappy apartment with trash around them, escaping into a fake world.
Or sitting in their apartement meanwhile someone robs them and they just dont care.
I’m going to come back here in 10 years and applaud this man for warning others not to just jump on the VR/AR bandwagon, especially as a household necessity. What sad times, haven’t we learned that we became more addicted and disconnected by plugging in?
My thought exactly! All the ads show someone in their 5 million dollar house watching this and playing with their smiling, organically fed kids and beautiful/handsome happy, Pilatus-trained spouse ....while we in our crappy apartment in a polluted, traffic-choked city are supposed to spend all our hard-earned $$$ to watch an immersive fantasy about that lifestyle....
How they can show the reality in advertising ?! Because this is the way will be in 90% of the cases
For now the cost of the device is beyond the reach of anyone living in a crappy apartment surrounded by trash. The people who can afford to live in the type of homes seen in the promotion videos are who this thing is being marketed to. Apple is smart enough not to advertise in a manner that makes us crappy apartment dwellers think we have a chance at getting one of these things.
This is a stepping stone for having pc chip being implanted directly into your visual cortex, and having a VR/AR overlay directly over your flied of vision.
is it? or have movies warped our perception of what's actually possible? ... Modern medicine knows less then 1 percent about how the brain and nervous system. We know nothing. This is all hype
That's horrifying sounding

M.T. Anderson's "Feed." A young adult novel from 2002. Prescient?
Neuralink by Elon Musk is much more developed than most think. I believe he said they can use deep learning to decode the brain's language by matching the neural signals from the brain to what a person is seeing. Eventually they will be able to put a signal into the brain knowing exactly what it will produce. The problem is still the hardware aspect - making electrodes small enough and in high enough number at the right areas to get a good amount of data.
Happiness is supposed to be a by-product of the process and not the end goal of the process - spot on, Moon!

@@TheUnwrittenRule03 This is a little more expensive than OF. Despite this channel's weird but transparent shilling of this thing, it is clearly a luxury product aimed at the hyper-wealthy, not kids living in trailer stacks in a fictional dystopian Ohio and Apple clearly realize that 99% of people are never going to care about AR/VR until it's either integrated in something they'd otherwise have or is cheaper than a week's groceries.
Resistance is futile. Look how the Woke Virus has swallowed the world. All you have to do is brainwash one upcoming generation to change sht forever.

People did not accept Google glass. People did not accept the Metaverse. People aren't enthusiastic about Apple Vision Pro. Big Tech will keep trying to push this technology, but nobody wants it.
I just spent a week completely detached from internet and phone use, in a place called Lake Manapouri in New Zealand. I spent the daytime reading Lord of the Rings, and visiting some of the locations of the movies. I spent the nights enjoying the camp fire with the other guests, talking about the native bird life. This is real life and adventure. Nothing can replace it and only there did I find the deepest peace and fulfilment. I’m back now, typing this into an iPhone. I should continue reading the book - the fellowship just arrived in Lothlorien!

That sounds amazing. I’m with you. I just want to save up enough money, move back to my parents farm, build a house and raise some cattle.
Once this technology gets small enough, to the size of glasses for example, then we will see mass adoption. The nReal glasses are my first thought, and if Apple, meta, or Samsung can make Ar/vr glasses that have the same level of technology that these giant headsets, then we can probably expect the majority of people to adopt it into their everyday lives. The problem with these headsets is that they are heavy and uncomfortable with long use, so for now they'll exist as a neat product to have, but won't take over until they reduce the size significantly.

They will eventually... and they will integrate AI into it.
Gotta start somewhere, this is the beginning

The whole "you will own nothing, and be happy" I think is very much a part of this. I see people living in just sterile apartments that are made for augmented reality, where your whole life just takes place there and you rarely go outside, because everyone interacts via headsets. You would need a couch a bed, a chair and a table. The bug meat patty you are eating in real life would look like a delicious steak in augmented reality, the soy protein drink could be flavored to taste like anything you want and the color would reflect that in AR.
I mean what is there to own at that point? You don't need books, music, tv, art, flowers, home decorations... nothing... it call would just be inside your headset, and the funny thing is, you will still work and pay for something that doesn't exist.... ugh.
We"ll go back to the days when we owned nothing at all and just worried about food and shelter. Back in simpler times where we didn't need to own a whole Ikea set.

When I was a kid back in the 70's our vision of the future was so altruistic and utopian. Technology was going to be there to serve mankind and make life better for everyone, but we were so wrong. It turns out that technology will only serve a very few and make life better for those people who don't need the help. The rest of us will be enslaved by it, it has already made us into commodities now it's going to squeeze us until the pips squeak. And, like the idiots we are, we'll rush to buy the tech they'll use to harvest us with big shit eating grins on our faces. The future we ought to be experiencing was stolen from us by the greedy and the powerful, it breaks my heart.
It doesn’t feel to me as there is much time left for modern man. I envy people older than me now. I’m 50 and ready for a surprise ending doing something fun and exciting.

My point is this type of technology, since let’s face it samsung and other companies will catch on eventually and soon there will be multiple brands of this floating around and the existence of this technology and the fact that it completely removes you from the real world scares me. Im already experiencing being addicted to my phone, i dont need to have it in ultra-realistic VR as well.
@silksonic3927 'm stuck with apple 6s because of the cirrus logic audio chip they used that beats every single boutique audio dac in the market at 16/44.1 resolution + the headphone jack. the moment this idevice breaks, i'll have to stop listening to music forever.
Soon in the future, we will have VR contact lenses to put in your eyes
That's what is disturbing about it - even as I was nodding along to the warnings of what this is going to lead to, I still kinda want it. . . . . .
DO NOT BUY APPLE PRODUCTS
I think there’ll always be those who refuse to engulf themselves in the virtual world so heavily. A camping trip in the woods will never truly be able to be replicated by any VR headset.
If you've never actually been on a camping trip, how would you know what you're missing...this is my concern
The future is amish
@@matthieuschmitter6676 it reminds me of that line in The Matrix when Morpheus asks Neo how he defines real..."If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then "real" is simply electrical signals intepreted by your brain"
It's all about balance. VR will have its uses. Maybe I can visit a museum at the other end of the planet I can't afford to enjoy in person, but I also can still go camping in my local forest. It doesn't have to be either or
@@awwwnawwbruh You wouldn't know the difference, and you probably wouldn't want to! Home is way for comfortable anyway. Hopefully we don't end up like the people in Wall-e...
People nowadays give more importance to their desire than their needs.
Im soo incredibly thankfull to have had a childhood even without smartphones, just with basic technology like mp3 players and at the same time being able to see how far technology will go now. Im still just 20 years old and a little anxious that mixed reality will become as popular as smartphones in near future which could really destroy society and life in general. I feel so sorry for my 3 year old sister and all other kids who will spend their teenage years in mixed reality, most likely being depressed af which is already the case with smartphones, tiktok etc but will become much worse as you said....
DO NOT BUY APPLE PRODUCTS
We didn't even have that. We had trees to climb and our imagination.
My kids are teens and FINALLY got a phone😂 they don't "like it" now but hopefully will appreciate it later.
If you're 20 years old then you definitely grew up with smartphones. The first iphone was released in 2007 which means you would have been like 3-4 years old.
@@maxwellshaver1836 Yea but i had my first smartphone when i was 13 years old. Today it's normal for a 6-8 year old to have a smartphone
I was born in 1984. I'm glad I didn't grow up with this toxic shit. Also glad I don't have kids.
This is just a stepping stone.
Next stage is inputting a feed directly into your visual cortex so you don't need the hardware anymore.
Sooo Neuralink
@@lightning0938 Indeed
Although it's not their stated goal so far.
My guess is Apple will buy it out when Musk goes bankrupt.
excited for the next stage
@@prodigion1 Excited for your thoughts to be read and partly owned by a global corporation ?
For your senses and consciousness to be subverted to the point you are unable to tell what is real ?
How about when they use your brain as a computing device, like a server in a data-center ?
Like a……..MICROCHIP
Its amazing that what was once considered science fiction, and the possibility of such a system being implemented a conspiracy theory, has not only become *true* but it is now fast becoming our reality
This is basically the prequel to Upload from Amazon Prime Video
It took over 20 years for the vision of the world depicted in Mark Osborne's short animated film "MORE" to come to fruition, but here we are.
ai, vr, etc. are so cool to me. when ai things were first emerging (like 2018) i was so excited. these things look so interesting, but the more these things become reality it's becoming more and more scary.
True 😢
true bro, it seemed interesting before, but today when today it has emerzed it makes everything so scary, you can learn anything using it, nothing difficult in learning anything or doing anything, but on other side, its dark, we will be lonely, having no purpose truly, when AI will be superior then us, though it already is then most, just it is not yet self aware and do not have a physical body yet, then what will we really be; i think we should use tech to solve basic problem like food, water and livelihood etc. but live naturally like 1995 to 2005s. I guess I will definitely try it once and use only for some real need if there is any, but for entertainment i guess i will not bcs this also will only fry the dopamine like shorts or reels, and not make us really happy
@@AlphaCentauri2 It only got scary when people with common sense like us realize how many people are enslaved to the internet and cannot have communications with anyone that isn't posting to social media 24/7 making a false narrative of their lives flexing. Then it got scary cause the majority of people don't just let this tech be convenient, they have to base their entire lives around it. Now Gen Z can't find people to date because you HAVE to have a Tinder Platinum or an amazingly curated Instagram page, or simply be an older generation millennial dating barely legal gen z.
Because you want to view it as scary. Your ignoring all the good things it could do for your life.
I think both technologies are cool but i do agree that if used incorrectly they can have a devestating effect on society.
This is giving The Matrix vibes, less so by the initial idea that everything is fake, but that our constant interaction with devices like Vision Pro is numbing our perceptions of reality to such a scary degree, that if this comes out, we will eventually all be in pods experiencing in heaven, while our real bodies grow old and die.
Yes, resist it at all costs.
Your body will grow old and die whether you're watching it or not. Looking in the mirror and seeing my real face look a little older every year isn't that great an experience... a lot of us have no chance of making real progress in life and have been stuck in our parent's home for a decade after we were supposed to become adults. All we do is watch ourselves age and feel the pain of missing out. Can you blame us for wanting an alternative? What was supposed to be the best part of my life, the prime of it is already behind me, and I have nothing to show for it. It would be crueler to force me to live in this reality, at this point.
@@jeremyandrews3292 We all have choice and great influence over our bodies and health if we sustain awareness of ourselves. This VR will become such a distant distraction from reality that we will be approaching no opportunity for choice.
What this will do to our society is actually crazy and scary because people can't see it coming.
I think its much bigger of a deal than people think, this will be the end of tourism, the end of travelling, the end of having a nice big house, it will be the start of people selling their houses to buy a single room appartment with all the vr tech they could possibly want. (maybe in 20-50 years)
or CAN we and just don't care?
BS.
for this price it will quickly flop AF
I’m sure the people pumping money into the development and marketing see it coming
sure buddy
The first and best description of the metaverse I read in Snowcrash. Neil Stevenson basically invented the word and the idea of people spending all their time in an online world, and it left the real world an awful place - or rather, they fled to the metaverse because the real world was such an awful place. But the metaverse is an awful replacement of the real world. It makes nobody happy.
