They did that at Otellini's Intel in Chandler AZ when I was there around 2009 or so.

The round foam couches and glass cubes, 70's colors, and a new age relaxation room with two massage chairs (really).
A game room with a big flat panel on the wall hooked up to a Wii as a bro detector, mostly used by the sales weasels. It always smelled in there.

Sitting in the middle of the floor, with no walls, was this massive Cisco teleconferencing system built into a curved wood veneer conference table with multiple 1080p video projectors and cameras. Had its own fiber line. 'Like being there' they said. The demo broke and I never saw it used after. But free candy bars in baskets and drinks in the fridge!

The 'project' took up an entire floor. (They mercifully kept the Intel OCC bike close, but downstairs.)

Intel is always playing copy-to-catch-up, and I think this was their attempt at being a Google.
By the time it all got thrown in the dumpster out back, I was gone.

Do they think that's real light?

If he called it Tech Force 2000

On one hand, you'll now be able to break laws with impunity.
On the other, Trump will destroy all aspects of your life, beyond measure.
Pigs at the trough.

And all Epic/Unreal products should be free, or a few pennies, a nickel at most.
It's only fair.

They better watch their ass.
Dell's hired Trump on retainer.

Software is hard.
Times are tough.
We all have to do our part.

Hyundai owns Boston Dynamics.

We will all be dead soon, but won't know it's coming.

If it's just plumbing; inventory objects, audio, money, users, and rendering,
shouldn't they have done that a hundred times over by now?
And they have comparatively boundless server and compute to pull it off.

Second Life has had at least 50,000 in-world users, all day and night, for over twenty years.
Figure out why those people stayed and paid, and copy that.

China: oh yeah? Bzzzzzzzt!!!

I had a GRiD 1530 laptop in 1991 that did exactly that.
It was as amazing as it was awful.

Shit, why pay them at all 'if I don't have to'?
That's the end point utopia they are working towards.
Seems they all have in common some weird 'if I was the last man on earth' syndrome.

We're only about 20% there, but they're accelerating with all the effort and focus they can muster.

Steve Jobs famously stated that the computer is like 'a bicycle for the mind'.
But now, we're the bicycle, for their mind.
Funny, that.
