We are going to end up with Clippy 2.0. Microsoft is going to want it to always nudge towards Microsoft services.

I have seen this story 100 times before. We have barely scraped VR, but Facebook is bought up the leader and now we have a terrible experience with attempts to lock in all the time. We had barely scraped 3D, but Hollywood decided that it would be best if it were presented as Minions with yo-yos rather than subtle ways of increasing immersion.
We could have had really awesome phones that brought about social changes. Or we could have Apple trying to lock everyone into a chat silo and Google trying to produce an iPhone and Microsoft destroying the only innovative phone manufacturer.
I'm cynical because the folks investing in these things don't have our interests, they want to make a quick buck so they can fuck off to Mars.
