    Even for an AI image, that’s pretty low quality. The bricks don’t line up.

      And thematically I would have gone for something evoking the actual Berlin wall: an AI generated black and white "picture" of Apple Wall inspired by the Berlin wall but with a huge apple logo and a row of Apple Store storefronts

          I didn’t, the article did by paraphrasing Reagan. And hyperbole is a perfectly valid figure of speech anyway.

              It is one of Reagan’s most famous (and lucid) statements. The connection is fairly obvious to anyone familiar with the history.

                  I’m not op but the post was made in the context of the article. The article which had a title modifying this quote about the Berlin Wall “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” to refer to Apple’s CEO.

                  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tear_down_this_wall!

                  As far as I can tell, the hyperbole was already present before OP shared the image.

                  …Or have I misunderstood your point?

      The geometry and perspective don’t make any sense either.

          The Apple wall isn’t in line with the other walls. It has the perspective of one of those paintings that got Adolf kicked out of art school

      Normally I purposefully don’t click on articles with AI generated images, this one was so bad I thought it was a really bad photoshop instead

        Yeah, there’s companies out there literally destroying the planet or causing deaths and consumers don’t care. They’re not gonna stop using their shiny rectangle over this

      I don’t anticipate it, most consumers don’t take the time to be critical or try alternatives. :(

      Which, if the next version of the goggles has a useful battery life, may be no time soon.

          Jesus, MacBooks cost 5K? That’s ridiculous, I’d expect that for a nice gaming laptop.

          It’s a good point. The only bespoke thing on there, as far as I can tell, is the R1 chip. I assume a cord with enough bandwidth could be found in order to have a more modular system. The MacBook end may or may not have the port capacity for that, though.

              If I was designing it, my first instinct would be to make a headset that renders fairly arbitrary surfaces over the environment using as much hardwired custom silicon logic as possible, and leaves everything else external. You should be able to achieve pretty incredible energy efficiency that way, using any number of unconventional logic schemes, as well as minimising headset weight. The main question is how much you can pre-calculate without knowing the fine details about how the user is oriented this millisecond.

              We’ll see what the R2 looks like. As far as I can tell the R1 is just a bespoke arrangement of more conventional cores.

        It’s too late for Apple to close off macOS (and they’ve tried), so I think the goggles are meant to replace it altogether with an inherently closed platform. I hope Apple ends up having to open that platform up as well before it’s too late.
