Here’s the thing. These Deep Learning Models, aren’t intelligent, but they do seem “intelligent,” almost like a ghost isn’t a person, but seems like a person. Ghosts aren’t real, but we all know the various architypes. Some Ghosts haunt us, some are friendly, some are stuck in a loop and…

My thoughts on Apple Releasing a VR headset in 2022

Apple VR’s (XR, MR, AR) Potential The Early Days I remember the day I got my first VR headset from Kickstarter (in 2013); I couldn’t help but see the potential but yearned for something more polished. It was easy to make the leap asking what VR would be and who would bring…
