Anthropic says it'll challenge “any supply chain risk designation in court” and that the designation would only affect contractors' use of Claude on DOD work

Earlier today, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth shared on X that he is directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a supply chain risk.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth directs the DOD to designate Anthropic as a supply chain risk, barring military contractors from doing business with the company

Meta's VR layoffs may help the industry long term, as most of the ~1,500 roles worked on first-party content and games that competed with the broader ecosystem

I have an opinion on the Meta layoffs that is contrary with most of the VR industry and much of the media, but strongly held. This is not a disaster. They still employ the largest ...

To all those laid off by Meta. That sucks. REK is hiring for devs please DM. But to join you do a cleansing ritual to absolve your sins for working at Meta. You will have to be punched by a robot while chanting “down with Zuck” as initiation.

Meta lied about lower body tracking, they lied about their latest avatars, they lied about codec avatars. They lied about reducing investment in VR (no Quest coming out this year). All of these things I called out personally and got attacked for. Reality labs is a clown show.

Today Apple showed off their new avatars. Basically what Meta has been pretending to be able to do for years. The Quest doesn't even have eye tracking guys. It's not happening until their headset in 2026. Today Apple actually shipped. [image]

Meta Quest camera access is here. Something that so many lit me up just a year ago saying it was never going to happen due to potential “PriVaCY ViOlaTionS”. Just like I was right about the Quest 3 being same weight as Quest 2. Just as I was right about Meta layoffs Q1 2025. [image]

@ID_AA_Carmack @boztank MR is such a bad acronym that will never catch on. Like “spatial computing” until the form factor is glasses people will just call it a “VR headset” whether Boz likes it or not.

A look at Apple's plans for Vision headsets and AR glasses, M4 Macs, reasons for limiting Apple Intelligence to the latest iPhones and delaying it in the EU

The Apple Vision Pro has gotten off to a slow start, spurring management to rethink its plans for the device.

My new VR market hypothesis. 2024: Flat until Q4. 2024 Q4: Slight bump, Samsung headset + New Meta Headset 3S + Christmas bump. 2025: Slight increase, new HorizonOS headsets + AndroidXR. 2025 Q4/2026 Q1: Sizable inflection point. Meta AR Goggles + Apple Vision Air.

The Apple Vision Pro has gotten off to a slow start, spurring management to rethink its plans for the device.

If they do this strategy they will likely still need the R1 chip on the headset with a Mac or Phone doing the compute. Will likely need the latest iPhone 17 Pro when it comes out.
