The BBC was interviewing some Meta employee in India that was claiming VR is going to be absolutely necessary and Indian families should plan to buy VR sets because they will be needed for the education of their children.

It felt so detached, and the interviewer was very mellow, only saying that perhaps the cost is a problem, but the Meta guy insisted that it's needed so they have to find the money.

Facebook is incapable of building their own Roblox: even their ultra-sanitised always-smiling Horizon Worlds gets piled on by the media with dramatic accusations of VR bullying and VR harassment.

Imagine the kind of pearl clutching you would find in The Guardian if Zuck built something closer to VR Chat or Roblox.

They're trying with Horizon Worlds. The creator tools in it are kinda neat, if limited, but otherwise it feels too sterile to be all that interesting, especially to kids.
