- @cixliv posted that after 10 years in VR ("getting kicked in the face"), talented people should leave for industries like robotics — his first startup outside VR succeeded.
- Scoble (Robert Scoble) replied that he sadly mostly agrees: VR talent is trapped by a cult-like reverence for what the technology "could have been."
- The takeaway: VR has long underdelivered, and its best people are better off moving to robotics and embodied AI.
