Rooted in philosophical thought, mimetic desire refers to the notion that people desire the same things that their role models want. In the context of the Vision Pro, that theory could mean consumers may be more likely to purchase the device because celebrities or influencers they admire own it. "If these people are models to you—which they are for many young people—mimetic desire kicks in and you subconsciously want a Vision Pro too." If you have an Apple Vision Pro, some photography tips. After all, the Oculus founder, who did not respond to BI's request for comment, said he believes the Vision Pro will eventually be cheaper for the masses.

Jason Levin dropped out of college and turned his content creator side-hustle into a full-time job. He now makes between $2,000 and $5,000 a month by making memes and copywriting for startups and VCs. The growth came mostly from writing Twitter threads on marketing case studies and by making funny memes. While I made about $75 in crypto from the first few memes, I'm now earning between $2,000 and $5,000 a month from between three to five clients. I'm proud to say I'm a "meme lord" now, getting paid to make memes and silly content for companies.

Sursa foto: playtech.roTesla riscă să i se suspende licențaUn organism de reglementare din California a declarat luni că analizează dacă Tesla a încălcat reglementările prin promovarea în mod fals a sistemelor sale avansate de asistență a conducătorului auto, ca fiind „pilot automat”. În acest context, Tesla a intrat în vizorul autorităților. Prin urmare, Departamentul pentru Vehicule Motorizate din California (DMV) a declarat că examinează această situație, în contextul în care există un regulament care „interzice unei companii să facă publicitate vehiculelor pentru vânzare sau închiriere, ca fiind autonome”, scrie Playtech.ro. În cazul în care se va demonstra ca Tesla a încălcat regulamentul, se poate ajunge până la suspendarea licenței profesionale a producătorului auto, pe lângă alte sancțiuni administrative. „Facem apel la Tesla să nu mai folosească terminologia hiperbolică pentru a-și vinde tehnologia deja impresionantă”, a declarat pentru Reuters Jason Levine, director executiv la Center for Auto Safety.
