Heh. I noticed in the article that Mozilla is regretting betting heavily on VR. Good thing they're moving those resources into something sure to win, like AI.
"Since early 2023, we have experienced a shift in the market for 3D virtual worlds. With the exception of gaming, education, and a handful of niche use cases, demand has moved away from 3D virtual worlds. "
Who could have predicted that ~~AI~~ VR, while potentially compelling in the long term, was, in the current form, just a fad, in ~~2024~~ 2014?
A bunch of us did, but we were told we didn't understand how truly revolutionary the technology was.
LLM AI is a fad, but not the same kind of fad as VR. It doesn't need to be integrated into everything, but the technology has genuine utility and will not be going away.
I think the trend for "AI in everything" is stupid, yet I'm running a Vscode plugin that integrates local LLM models and it's very useful.
This is the same sort of thing that can be useful in a browser too. The web is so spammy these days that feeding it to an LLM to summarize and filter it is a legitimate use case.
