Computers were invented to speed up calculations, and yet the primary thing we use them for today is to read the news and send each other messages and memes…

I think it’s totally reasonable, to expect developers to find the real use

It's the users that will find the real use.

So — pornography, then.

[moffkalast]

Is that why they call them users?

Computers had a 100% open platform from day 1. Tell me, will Apple allow a pornography app for the Vision Pro?

The first computers were operated by the British and US defence establishments. Could you explain in which way you feel ENIAC was "100% open platform"?

It has a web browser. You can access anything you want via that, same as the phone.

You don't need an app to watch porn. Just connect it to a stream, either online, or offline through a storage device. An app would be useful only if we're talking about VR, but so far this hasn't worked for porn.

Hopefully it's as open as macOS, or at least much, much closer to it than iOS. Otherwise the options for exploration are limited by Apple.

New opportunities for abuse do exist with Vision Pro. If you allowed free reign access to the sensors people could record the inside of your house/work, capture your face, fingerprints, retinal pattern etc.

And again with Objective-C it's impossible to prevent private API usage unless you have some sort of App Store model which can inspect the binaries and prevent abuse.

So it's ultimately going to be the same as iOS.

[ohgodplsno]

It is more locked down than both.

Video games require A LOT of calculations.
