And nobody will pay any attention to it. 

Absolutely correct. Once the scientists at Los Alamos in 1945 realized what they had created only then did they start warning against its use. It was too late then and it's too late now. Imagine a Boston Dynamics combat robot powered by AI and armed with a 50 cal machine gun. It's probably already on some military drawing board somewhere.

Developers seem to think this can be controlled. Maybe it can but maybe it can't.

Oh hell they’re way past that. They’ve had drones for a while now that will fly over an area and wait for a particular car to destroy. When a white car turns X corner, away go the HARMs. All without an operator having to do anything. Officially they “always keep a person in the loop”, but I have a feeling that’s just for show. 

Technically, unless the white car is emitting RF the HARMs won’t do much.  HARM are anti radiation missiles (radiation meaning radiating RF).  They are used to knock out enemy radars.  A Hellfire would be a better choice to unleash on the white car in your scenario. 

As an “influencer” she should be rolling in bucks.  Isn’t that the latest “gold mine” internet income?  “Influencer”?

Maybe she can get sponsored by the Roblox people.

I don't think Apple is their risk factor.

I think the fact that people are is interested in VR as they were in 3D television is the risk factor.

The number of people who want this crap in any near future is a rounding error.

That’s a really ignorant take. VR is amazing for many types of videogames for example. 

That’s not an ignorant take.  As an overarching interface to the next gen internet it is spot on. Besides Zuckerberg I don’t know of anyone besides Sweeney who thinks this is a good idea.   We’re not talking about dedicated game use — no problem with that.  And we’re not talking vertical market use for specialty needs.  That is all fine.  We’re talking about the idea that people want to interact with each other regularly on the network through VR.   No one is asking for that or cares about it.

Oh the irony. Sweeney is such a hypocrite

That’s rather diplomatic of you.  

So being a Chinese company, I assume you have to use their cloud based systems to control this using their app.  Does anyone know where their servers are located for N American (US) based customers?
