Palmer Luckey Made a VR Headset That Kills the User If They Die in the Game (opens in new tab)

“Palmer Luckey makes obvious, desperate bid to get back in the spotlight”

All of the online first-hand reviews are positive.

Name that bias

What would the opposite be? A sensory deprivation chamber that brings people back from the dead? Maybe a crechepod?

I guess this is the definition of mad genius. It's a good thing he's building autonomous weapons and is backed by the US government, otherwise he might be applying his skills towards some less worthy endeavor like curing cancer.

So we have Elon Musk, currently speedrunning the destruction of a company nominally worth $44 billion; and Palmer Luckey playing Dr. Strangelove by creating a weeb-inspired death helmet, all while providing the U.S. government with the tools to remotely execute its opponents.

But the thing that should really scare us is trans activists detoxifying the internet by getting Tier 1 ISPs to blackhole hate sites.

Right.
