        "text": "Over at the Verge, Adi Robertson has an article calling out some of Zuckerberg\u2019s recent comments about an \u201copen\u201d ecosystem for VR being wrong and misguided on multiple levels. The comments in question include such bangers as:\n\n\n\n\nIn PCs, I think you\u2019d say that Windows during the \u201990s and 2000s especially was really the primary ecosystem in computing. The open ecosystem was winning.\nMark Zuckerberg\n\n\n\n\nWhich, uh, no. Windows was not an open ecosystem. Microsoft in general wasn\u2019t an open ecosystem. Anyone who ever had to try and open a Word document in some other tool at the time can tell you that. They\u2019re doing a lot better these days, but that\u2019s after both legal and economic pressure to do so. \n\n\n\n\nMicrosoft was so far from meaningfully open that it was almost broken up by regulators. It was so notoriously domineering that\u00a0we got a whole movie about a Bill Gates stand-in who murders programmers. If anything, it\u2019s the kind of reference point that I personally might avoid if I were fighting antitrust suits across multiple continents! To the extent Microsoft is open, it\u2019s partly thanks to\u00a0years\u00a0of intense legal pressure that Meta is only beginning to face.\nAdi Robertson\n\n\n\n\n(I did think it was weird they called Netscape a \u201cstartup\u201d, and that particular line I think could have been phrased better \u2013 Internet Explorer may be a joke now, but it a) wasn\u2019t then, and b) wasn\u2019t decades old.)\n\n\n\nWhat the article (and Zuck\u2019s comments) really drive home to me, though, is that they\u2019re basically running by the same playbook they did for Facebook. Which is to say, talk up how things will be interoperable, encourage folks to buy in, and then once they\u2019ve captured a good chunk of the market, close the doors. You offer enough partnerships and deals with other services that it looks like you\u2019re playing nice with others, but at the cost of an actually open ecosystem, and at the cost of actual interoperability. The little guys get screwed first, but again, once they have enough of the market, no one is safe. It doesn\u2019t take much \u2014 shutter an API or tweak an algorithm, and suddenly you\u2019ve ruined the ability for others to function. (This has happened repeatedly, such as shutting off third party access so content has to be created in-house; deprioritizing/burying non-FB links to content; dictating an algorithmic pivot to prioritizing video content, then back again; charging pages to \u201cpromote\u201d content if they want their content visible to subscribers\u2026 the list goes on and on.)\n\n\n\nI\u2019ve already commented on the fact that I don\u2019t think VR is ready for widespread mainstream adoption. I do think some of the work they\u2019ve done with the Oculus and Quest is interesting.

That was a difficult film to finish. There were lots of divorces and ailments that came out of that process. I remember myself working daily until well past 11 p.m., listening to people riding the Tower of Terror and poor custodians pushing around vacuum cleaners in these trailer buildings. So we made a decision. We sat down with the entire crew when we got there. We said, \u201cOkay, here\u2019s the deal. We have a lot less money. We have less time. But we want to figure out how we can make this movie so that everybody goes home at night to have dinner with their loved ones. Everybody gets a weekend. We\u2019ll figure out how to make this and be happy doing it.\u201d That became the spirit of making the film.\n\n\n\nI still remember the first time I saw the movie \u2013 it was 2002, it was hot out, and we wanted to catch a movie since the theater would be air conditioned.
