Maybe. Maybe. But you know, I mean, we're snarking, but you know exactly what I'm saying. And it was really great for that. It really, truly was. I was in this actually very small hotel room. And yes, it had a mediocre TV that I think I probably could have hooked up to my laptop.

But it was so much nicer to use Vision Pro because I was suddenly in a different space and I've got this huge screen in front of me. And especially with the developer strap, it is basically lag-free. I think the fidelity of it, admittedly, my eyes are not perfect, but the fidelity of it is great. Like, there are times the Vision Pro is incredible.

I do not argue that it is, to my eyes, it appears that it is a flop. Now, we don't know what Apple's expectations were. Maybe they expected to sell three of them, in which case, mission accomplished. But I suspect they wanted to sell a whole heck of a lot more. Certainly, the rumblings we've heard in the press is that they wanted to sell a whole heck of a lot more. And they haven't.

So it is a flop by most measures. But if you have an obscene amount of money to burn and light on fire and have these specific use cases, I don't want to continue to slag in the Vision Pro because in certain circumstances, it's unlike and better than everything else I've ever tried. Admittedly, those circumstances are few and far between, but they do exist.

And I do think that this is a really solid precursor to something like AR glasses. It's going to look way different, both inside, outside, in every way. It's going to look different than the Vision Pro does. But I think it is a reasonable precursor. And those who have embraced the Vision OS and Vision Pro

their AR experience when designing stuff for Apple Glasses, they're going to be ahead of the game because they've already done it. The same way that Underscore was way ahead of the game for widgets on iOS because all the APIs were basically just ripped from watchOS for complications and stuff. I think I have that right, but you get the idea either way.

Underscore was way ahead of the game because he's basically already done that. And so that's part of the reason I think that WidgetSmith was there on day one and was so good is because he had so much experience and he's Slightly different context, but using basically the same APIs.

And I think that people who really and truly embrace the Vision Pro and Vision OS, I would say I have reluctantly shown it a small amount of attention. I would not say I've embraced it. But anyways, those who have really embraced it, I think they'll be way ahead of the game. And I think that everyone would agree that something that's like Orion is the future if we can get there.

Yeah, I was listening to Upgrade, and they had a really good turn of phrase for it, which I've already forgotten. But they were saying another thing that this might accomplish is kind of like reverse Osborne-ing anything that Apple's doing, right? Because now it's like, look, the Vision Pro is lame because you've got to put this thing on that keeps you away from the world.

All right, the other bit of breaking news over the last few days is that Google will, I'm a little fuzzy on the details here, but apparently you can point Notebook LM, which is I think a pre-existing product of theirs that I was not previously familiar with. And you can, I guess it's like a data management thing or like a knowledge management thing.
