@Travis View : 我认为90年代和21世纪初科技文化之间存在显著差异。90年代,公众对科技发展持乐观态度,而现在则更多的是不确定性和恐惧。我认为这种变化与科技从业者的真实性和意图有关。90年代,硅谷主要由热爱技术难题的极客主导,而21世纪初,科技领导者更关注财富和权力。Palmer Luckey是早期科技公司的代表,他是一个真正的极客,他的行为源于好奇心和挑战,而不是时尚。他的特质使他开发了下一代VR头显,但也导致他与另类右翼和特朗普结盟,最终被硅谷放逐,并创立Andoril Industries从事国防科技工作。 @Liv Aker : 我个人体验了VR色情,觉得它很糟糕,令人不安和奇怪。画面太近,细节过于清晰,让人不舒服。 @Brad Abrahams : 关于Palmer Luckey故事的最佳来源是Blake J. Harris的《未来的历史》和Jeremy Stern在《Tablet》杂志上发表的《美国火神》。需要注意的是,《Tablet》杂志是一家保守的犹太出版物,对以色列持强烈的支持立场,因此对Luckey的描述可能带有偏见。 @Julian Field : Palmer Luckey从小就展现出创造性解决问题的能力,例如,他通过研究如何在不弯曲腿的情况下奔跑来规避游泳池的规定。他的行为体现了黑客精神,即尝试了解规则并试图绕过规则。他小时候玩激光导致视网膜烧伤,但他认为这没什么大不了的。

The savior of the West is an anime-loving, missile-launching, mullet-dawning, Hawaiian shirt and cargo shorts wearing 32-year old man in flip-flops. Travis and Brad punish Liv and Julian with the story of Palmer Luckey, the once Silicon Valley wunderkind VR pioneer of the Oculus Rift. His support of Donald Trump’s first presidential run got him fired from Facebook and shunned from the performatively liberal tech industry. The irresponsibly sensational press coverage that followed created the vengeance and spit-fueled defense tech mogul he is today. He’s now on a mission to save the west from autocratic dictators and “woke orthodoxy”, one autonomous drone swarm at a time.
