Sam Altman: sad about the lack of VR/AR companies in YC S16

It's interesting how people who are a direct cause of something can't see their own hand in matters.

Not sure what's causing this, but surprised YC wants to invest money in this space.

1. Tons of very deep pocketed competition.

2. Outside of gaming, which is albeit a pretty large space, there does not seem to be immediate broad uptake of this tech.

My impression is that YC dog foods its own advice and doesn't make competition a high order bit. I don't think it makes immediacy one either.

Well, I hope he does consider those of us who did apply :) (even though I consider it a very, very long shot).

I saw several comments on the twitter feed saying that, so I'm not the only one.
