Just ran across this beeple instagram post where he sums up his take on the AVP.
Got a tip for us?

Who (or what) the heck is Beeple? I thought it was a typo in the title and the OP meant "people".
Lol. Oh well. Apple is in this for the long run - or at least I hope.
I’m surprised people really wanted a game changer with V1. Let’s give it 5 to 10 years and see where we are. The App Store will be much better, software will have much needed features, hardware will be lighter and battery life will be improved.
Patience…we will get there in the next decade.

I thought the same thing before I heard of him. He’s a digital designer/artist - somewhat mainstream now and known for selling a collection of his NFTs for $69M
100 agree with not caring much, but thought it was somewhat relevant as he is a 3D digital artist who also geeks out on both AR and VR.
“I see this as completely inevitable and I think in 10-20 years we will all be wearing headsets round the clock.”
It’s going to be so funny to come back and read all these wild takes in another couple decades. Kind of like the futurists of our grandparents’ generation thinking that we’d all be flying around in personal mini helicopters or flying cars by the year 2000. And of course the weekend vacations to the colonies on the moon.
Anyone believing that humans will be wearing headsets every day ”around the clock” is just shooting from the hip and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

Is this guy supposed to be widely known? Never heard of him.
You say his name like he's MKBHD or Mr Beast...

I can see certain professionals wearing headsets on the job, and I can see AR as an entertainment device that you wear during gaming etc. But the current form factor cannot be what AR brings to the mainstream. Neural links might be it, maybe, 50 years down the line. Some future glass and battery technology might make for lightweight sunglasses that can become popular. Maybe Apple and others are on track for that, but I do not see this happening in my lifetime.
I’m old 🤪
If you put something up for sale, and someone else buys it, that makes you a con artist?
No, prior to that, he made a ton of art for free. Someone talked him into allowing them to turn his art collection into an NFT.
Cryptocurrency is garbage, but at least in this case, someone who deserved to get paid got paid for all the work he did for free.
If you make art for a living, there's no guarantee that anyone will want it, or that you should be paid for it. I mean, good for him, but he didn't deserve anything.
Further to that, cryptocurrency is far from garbage, and that narrow minded attitude isn't going to help you any.
Fair enough. You're right. It's not garbage, but it is an immature solution in search of a problem that isn't already being solved better in other ways.
