I find it hilarious that the HN audience with "science-backgrounds" are rushing to inject "first generation tech" into their bodies. I remember many people stated they would wait until the 3rd generation of VR headsets before purchasing one.

I guess some knowledge & intuitions don't generalize.

Reminds me of a tech-savvy Youtuber that stated "I'm teaching myself to trust Tesla autopilot and ignore my need to fearfully jump to the wheel every time FSD moves me too close to objects on the road", "I'm getting better at it"... implying that 100s of thousands of years of evolutionary development/intuition/skepticism can be discarded when 1st gen tech enters the room.

You created a new account specifically for this comment. Is HN, in your eyes, allowed to gate the publication of your comment on passing some moderation queue within reasonable time?

Delaying buying a VR headset doesn't create a significant risk of death. Different situation.
