flowersslop · x · 2026-07-18
The author predicts that in the coming years, people will be able to learn almost any physical or cognitive skill—such as repairing engines, flying helicopters, defusing bombs, or fixing plumbing—within specialized VR environments.
The core vision is that AI experts will provide hands-on guidance, tutoring, and testing for learners in virtual settings, making skill training much closer to real-world scenarios.
