image transcriptionscreenshot of this paragraph of text:

That’s good! There are a lot of ideas in the Vision Pro, and they’re all executed with the kind of thoughtful intention that few other companies can ever deliver at all, let alone on the first iteration. But the shocking thing is that Apple may have inadvertently revealed that some of these core ideas are actually dead ends — that they can’t ever be executed well enough to become mainstream. This is the best video passthrough headset ever made, and that might mean camera-based mixed reality passthrough could just be a road to nowhere. This is the best hand- and eye-tracking ever, and it feels like the mouse, keyboard, and touchscreen are going to remain undefeated for years to come. There is so much technology in this thing that feels like magic when it works and frustrates you completely when it doesn’t.

with "Apple may have inadvertently revealed that some of these core ideas are actually dead ends — that they can’t ever be executed well enough to become mainstream" highlighted.

the actual report is probably not worth reading (it's the 2024 Edelman Trust Barometer (9.5MB pdf) produced by this PR firm), but, headlines like this one being derived from it at various publications makes it good news :)

It looks like the paper is paywalled and not yet on scihub but i did find 38 pages of supplemental information with more details than the article.
