Oculus Rift creator debuts VR headset that blows users’ brains out if they die in game

Palmer Luckey, the billionaire founder of Oculus and military technology company Anduril, has invented a new VR headset. The device is not novel on account of better graphics or an improved frame rate, but rather because it is capable of blowing a smoking hole through the user’s noggin.
New for Christmas: the Oculus Brain Rift. It will instantly and painlessly solve your every problem AND elevate you to a higher state of being! Also makes a great, reusable gift for unwanted relatives. Wet wipes not included.
NerveGear is a virtual reality headset that looks like a transmogrified Oculus Rift, only this time the black goggles have three protuberances that jut out above the eyes, which together are “capable of killing the user.”
“The idea of tying your real life to your virtual avatar has always fascinated me,” Luckey wrote. “You instantly raise the stakes to the maximum level and force people to fundamentally rethink how they interact with the virtual world and the players inside it.”
As you might guess, and as we’ll soon see, that’s not his real motivation for building this.
The inspiration for the suicide headset came from the Japanese novel series entitled “Sword Art Online” by Reki Kawahara, which originally ran from 2002 to 2008 and was adapted into a television series in 2012.
No. A plutocrat did not build a device specifically to murder his customers because he liked a particular comic book. I cannot accept that a business leader is unaware that killing his customers is poor salesmanship. Fortunately, this article saved me the effort of research.
In the show, set in 2022, thousands of people become trapped in a virtual massively multiplayer online role-playing game on Nov. 6, 2022. The protagonist, Kirito, tries ardently to escape.
We’ve already seen this several times in mainstream media, from the X-Files to the Matrix. It’s not a new idea and certainly not sourced from a manga rag.
Luckey noted that if the trapped and mentally dislocated gamers’ “hit points dropped to zero, their brain would be bombarded by extraordinarily powerful microwaves, supposedly killing the user.”
In lieu of powerful microwaves, Luckey elected to use three explosive charge modules, each tied “to a narrow-band photosensor that can detect when the screen flashes red at a specific frequency, making game-over integration on the part of the developer very easy.”
“When an appropriate game-over screen is displayed, the charges fire, instantly destroying the brain of the user,” he added, noting that he has “not worked up the balls to actually use it [himself].”
It’s not for him. It’s very obviously for dissidents. That reminds me, the Mossad already invented this technology. They did an assassination on I-forget-who by replacing his cell phone with a clone that included a small wad of explosive. They gave him a call with somebody who knew his voice and when the target answered “hello?” the informant nodded and they pushed the red button.
We don’t need no stinkin’ police state, not if we can figure out a way to put exploding batteries in smartphones. And then make smartphones mandatory.
Luckey stated that the “good news is that we are halfway to making a true NerveGear. The bad news is that so far, I have only figured out the half that kills you. The perfect-VR half of the equation is still many years out.”
Until it is completed, the NerveGear “is just a piece of office art, a thought-provoking reminder of unexplored avenues in game design.”
“Until it is completed”. I wait impatiently for the thickheaded chumps of general humanity to clue in that our rulers don’t intend to rule us. They intend to kill us. Perhaps being locked into an atheistic worldview yet too cognitively dishonest to pursue atheism to its logical conclusion, they don’t understand that some people want the world to burn. People that might be well-described by the word “Lucifer”.
I bet people will buy it. Maybe it’ll excite them in ways they don’t understand, or maybe their daily life will be (or already is) so unpleasant with no hope of relief, that the Oculus Brain Rift will be like doing an extreme sport without the need for courage or muscle mass. They’re just meatbag pain collectors hurtling towards oblivion anyway, right?
I’ve had some dreadfully low points in life myself, but Christ gave me a reason to keep on trucking. Anybody who’s been through their own Valley Of Death will say both it was horrible and it was worth it. But only because there is a God who sincerely wants the best for us.
Luckey, a dropout from California State University, sold Oculus to Facebook for nearly $2 billion. The 30-year-old entrepreneur reportedly netted nearly $600 million of the sale. Facebook fired Luckey three years later.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Luckey’s firing came after his colleagues raged about the VR wizard’s $10,000 donation to anti-Hillary Clinton group Nimble America during the 2016 presidential election.
Thanks for saving me the spadework. I once thought, as I was supposed to, that all these college dropouts going on to high success was simply because they were either unorthodox thinkers or so talented that they knew getting credentialed was a waste of time. But in hindsight, that never explained how they got financed and positioned for market access.
Turns out, their appeal was being in the Goldilocks Zone of lazy, dim-witted and politically reliable. Anybody who becomes a famous billionaire before age 30 is more likely a nephew than a genius.
Although Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified to Congress that Luckey’s departure had nothing to do with politics, it later turned out that the Oculus inventor’s support for former President Donald Trump was a major factor behind his exit.
After his firing, which resulted in Luckey securing a payout of at least $100 million, he fundraised for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and then founded the defense contractor Anduril.
CNBC reported that Anduril is behind the Anvil quadcopter drone, which can fly 100 miles per hour and was purchased by the U.S. military for use by special forces soldiers.
Luckey’s company also makes the Ghost, which can weigh up to 55 pounds and hit speeds of 85 miles per hour.
Last month, the Verge detailed the company’s first weapon system, a loitering munition called the ALTIUS (Agile-Launched Tactically-Integrated Unmanned System) that hovers in a designated area ahead of striking either ground or airborne targets.
According to Anduril, ALTIUS drones are able to “accomodate multiple seeker and warhead options.”
The company has contracts with the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, and the U.K. Royal Marines.
While NerveGear may not be braining anyone any time soon, Luckey’s other inventions certainly will.
I don’t think that’s a coincidence. The creator of a device that will kill the user when given the signal, is also the creator of devices that will kill people when given the signal? Hmm.
Is “Lucky” a necrophile? Who else would fantasize about killing his own customers to the point of actually building the snuff-ware then putting it on display? This is not healthy behavior.
Either Palmer Luckey invented a breakthrough VR technology at the age of sixteen with the business skills to sell it, or…
h ttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZeniMax_v._Oculus
ZeniMax v. Oculus is a civil lawsuit filed by ZeniMax Media against Oculus VR on charges of theft of intellectual property relating to Oculus’ virtual reality device, the Oculus Rift. The matter was settled with a private out-of-court agreement by December 2018.
Gamers who don’t know ZeniMax, surely know their subsidiary Bethesda.
ZeniMax formally filed a lawsuit against Luckey and Oculus VR on May 21, 2014 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas and seeking a jury trial. The lawsuit contended that Luckey and Oculus used ZeniMax’s “trade secrets, copyrighted computer code, and technical know-how relating to virtual reality technology”, as provided by Carmack, to develop the Oculus Rift product, and sought for financial damages for contract breach, copyright infringement, and unfair competition. ZeniMax also charged that Oculus, through Carmack, were able to hire several former ZeniMax/id Software employees who also had technical knowledge of its VR technology, which would allow them to rapidly fine-tune the VR testbed system to create the Rift. In its files, ZeniMax revealed it has “invested tens of millions of dollars in research and development” into VR technology, and that because they felt “Oculus and Luckey lacked the necessary expertise and technical know-how to create a viable virtual reality headset”, they “sought expertise and know-how from Zenimax”.
I find the boldfaced the most convincing part of that. Headhunt the research team after their parent company put in the R&D? A simple variation on the old “privatized profit, socialized risk” scam. Luckey doesn’t seem to have ((family connections)) so perhaps he was a nerd brought in to make the scam look legit. “Yes, we picked up several of your employees but the real work was done by Boy Genius here.”
In August 2016, it was discovered that ZeniMax had further modified their complaint, specifically adding by name Carmack as Oculus’s CTO, and Brendan Iribe as Oculus’ CEO. The updated complaint alleged that during his last days at id Software, Carmack “copied thousands of documents from a computer at ZeniMax to a USB storage device”, and later after his employment was terminated he “returned to ZeniMax’s premises to take a customized tool for developing VR Technology belonging to ZeniMax that itself is part of ZeniMax’s VR technology”. ZeniMax’s complaint charged that Iribe had directed Oculus to “[disseminate] to the press the false and fanciful story that Luckey was the brilliant inventor of VR technology who had developed that technology in his parents’ garage”, when “Luckey lacked the training, expertise, resources, or know-how to create commercially viable VR technology”, thus aiding in the IP theft from ZeniMax.
Yep, I called it.
The jury trial completed on February 2, 2017, with the jury finding that Luckey had violated the NDA he had with ZeniMax, and awarding $500 million to ZeniMax. However, the jury found that Oculus, Facebook, Luckey, Iribe, and Carmack did not misappropriate or steal trade secrets, though ZeniMax continued to publicly assert otherwise. Oculus will have to pay $200 million for breaking the non-disclosure agreement, and additional $50 million for copyright infringement; for false designation of origin charges, Oculus and Luckey will have to pay $50 million each, while Iribe will be responsible for $150 million.
I don’t like that outcome. Wouldn’t stealing trade secrets be the same thing as an NDA violation? “They didn’t steal anything but caused $500m in damages by violating nondisclosure”, what? Ah, that’s right. They didn’t steal the tech, they headhunted the tech’s developers.
Inside Anduril, the startup that is building AI-powered military technology

By Jacob Ward and Chiara Sottile, 3 October 2019
On a blazing day in the scrublands just outside Irvine, California, Brian Schimpf watched as a man walked into a distant valley wearing a long-sleeved shirt and a hat to protect against the sun.
Within moments, sensors in towers on a nearby hillside used pattern-recognition algorithms to spot the man, and remote cameras found and tracked him. A large helicopter-like drone whirred to life, and flew over to conduct closer surveillance.
Schimpf is the CEO and co-founder of Anduril, a startup that is building surveillance and defense systems for the U.S. military and other agencies. The man being followed by these sensors was an employee, he explained, demonstrating the ability of this system to find and track a human intruder over a wide area with almost no human input.
Maybe it’s a Jewish thing, both the Zionist and globalist factions. They want AI servants because the rest of humanity hates them. Maybe if a hundred countries independently declare you no longer welcome, the problem is you?
And if one argues that xenophobic, murderous grifters with God complexes also desire mindless servants, well, QED. Normal people want to coexist with people, not with automatons.
The technology that governs all of this is a software platform, powered by artificial intelligence, called Lattice. Anduril markets the system as a way of monitoring installations, military bases and borders.
Anduril.s founding mission is to give military and government personnel technology-based capabilities with the help of AI that would allow a single person to keep watch over hundreds of miles of terrain.
At the moment, the intruder-detection system just spots the movement of walking legs . it doesn’t determine whether a person is authorized to be in the area, or whether there’s a weapon present. But Anduril’s other co-founder, Palmer Luckey, said he envisions a future in which the U.S. military can someday deploy a system like Lattice anywhere for a variety of missions including battlefield awareness and threat assessment in urban environments.
Luckey left Oculus in March 2017 and was co-founder of Anduril, spawn of Palantir Technologies in June 2017. Either that’s the fastest DoD startup ever, or it was already a thing and Luckey was brought onboard to serve as media camouflage. Which, if ZeniMax was right after all, would be the second time he performed that role.
Anduril was founded in 2017, and has already signed contracts with several branches of the U.S. government. Anduril won’t release a complete list, but a company spokesperson says that it has contracts with roughly a dozen agencies of the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security.
Anduril is obviously some faction’s pet project.
Luckey, 27, is among the more polarizing figures of the tech industry. After starting out building high-end gaming systems, Luckey went on to launch a virtual reality company called Oculus, which was acquired by Facebook in March of 2014 for more than $2 billion.
But Luckey was ousted from Facebook in 2017 after the company lost a $500 million intellectual property lawsuit on Oculus’s behalf.
As we just saw, the judge ultimately halved the award. So, it wasn’t a firing offense, not when Luckey could have paid the entire fine out of pocket had he wanted to.
Luckey’s politics also became part of the story when The Wall Street Journal reported the departure may have had to do with Luckey donating to an anti-Hillary Clinton group in the run-up to the 2016 election.
Whoa. The aptly-named Luckey was the only guy to survive an Arkancide?!
.It wasn’t my choice to leave,. he told CNBC.s Andrew Ross Sorkin in October 2018 at an event in Los Angeles. .I gave $10,000 to a pro-Trump group, and I think that’s something to do with it,. he also told CNBC.s Deirdre Bosa.
But Luckey kept a key Facebook figure in his corner: Peter Thiel, a member of the board of directors of Facebook, who was an early investor in Oculus. Thiel is also one of the few outspoken supporters of President Donald Trump in the tech industry.
Luckey announced plans for Anduril, named for a sword called “the flame of the West” in J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings,. shortly after his departure from Facebook. Founders Fund, a venture fund led in part by Thiel, was among its earliest investors. That same fund helped launch Palantir, another surveillance-technology company that has contracts with the military and the U.S. government. Several of Anduril’s executives, including Schimpf, came to Anduril from Palantir.
Peter Thiel is the link between Luckey, Anduril, Donald Trump and the Department of Defense. And Israel.
One thing that you must know about Trump is that he is not loyal to the United States. He is loyal to Israel… and either fanatically so, or they have a LOT of leverage on him. Such as his in-law relatives, or his real estate empire in Jew York City. By the time he moved the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, Trump had the approval of legit >95% of the Orthodox Jewish presence in the USA.
Israel wants a strong and healthy America because America is their national-defense golem. But that does not mean Israel wants a FREE America. Which explains much of President Trump’s behavior. For example, recall that Israel was the most enthusiastically vaxxed nation on earth, then notice how insistently Trump pushed the vaxx even beyond the point of alienating his supporters. Then, recall how hard Trump pushed against China while failing to drain the Potomac Swamp which, come to think of it, would have ended Semitic domination of FedGov.
Trump was never on our side. Sorry, MAGA people, but it’s time to face the truth: NOBODY in the halls of power wants us Heritage Americans. Especially if we worship Christ.
Meanwhile, one of Israel’s top spy projects is Palantir Technologies. Anduril is a spin-off, which tells you how much of the co-founding was done by Luckey. (Co-founder Schimpf in particular, is ex-Palantir.) He just hit the job market at a good time for his friend Thiel to hook him up as a faceman. Luckey him.
The company and its founders are unapologetic about its mission, making it an outlier in the U.S. technology industry. Militarization of technology has recently become a sensitive subject at the world’s largest tech firms. Employees at several major companies, including Amazon, Microsoft and Google, have privately and publicly protested the militarization of the technology they’re building.
Anduril is different. Its coders and engineers are openly interested in providing surveillance systems to the U.S. military.
And antipersonnel drone technology.
And the Lattice AI system that one day, it is hoped, will decide which humans get to live.
And now Anduril’s leadership is floating trial balloons on remote-activation kill switches for entertainment. I don’t think they’re keeping Luckey busy enough to distract him from morbid hobbies. Alternatively, perhaps the Oculus Brain Rift is his personal way of earning his keep with the Mossad. Oculus is the only thing he knows and they are sure to find a use for it.
My thought was it would be the mandatory controller for PS6 and Xbox GAE so that they can force young men off the games and into the military.
“Luckey announced plans for Anduril, named for a sword called ‘the flame of the West’ in J.R.R. Tolkien.s”
No lawsuit from the Tolkien estate? So they support Skynet.
Technology is the new tower of Babel. If it weren’t for Jesus Christ, this would be an awful time to be alive.
