,1,Philip Rosedale is best known as the founder of Linden Lab, the company behind the virtual world Second Life. Second Life, launched in 2003, was one of the earliest and most successful virtual worlds where users could create and customize their avatars, buy virtual real estate, interact with other users, and even start virtual businesses.
Rosedale's vision with Second Life was to create a user-defined world where the possibilities were limited only by one's imagination. The platform gained significant attention in the mid-2000s, both for its innovative nature and for the real-world economic implications of its virtual transactions.
After his work on Second Life, Rosedale has continued to explore virtual and augmented reality spaces. He founded High Fidelity Inc., a company that focused on creating a decentralized virtual reality platform.
His most recent project is 415 In Reality Lab, IRL415, a community technology lab in San Francisco.

The above description has been generated by Bing Chat, and then slightly edited. The question was: "Please create a long description for a live show on YouTube involving Stephen Wolfram as a guest, in conversation with David Orban, talking about AI and AGI, and the recent excitement about ChatGPT. Add the best social media URLs for both at the end of the description". You can check the unedited reply on https://sl.bing.net/i49q8S0S4lw. (We asked ChatGPT too, but the more recent developments after 2021 were unavailable to it, and made its reply less useful, even if some its output ended up in this description.)
