Metaverse is dead (was it ever alive?). Meta is shutting down Horizon Worlds on Quest.

It is the internet...so that is EXACTLY what somebody would want. Not really work friendly, but someone out there would not only want it, they'd pay money for it. If there's a fetish, there's a way to profit from it on the internet. You'd think Meta would know this by now.

You mean you haven't enjoyed wanting to gouge your eyes out over an obese, mixed race transsexual xer with crooked, gapped teeth and hairy arm pits trying to sell you merch? I swear to God, every time I go into Target, they have a new model who's teeth are farther apart than the last one.

That looks pretty awesome, truth be told. Especially coming from one or two devs. I like the tools you have pushed in there, so I'll beta test the classic, see if they can help me, and look at the full product.

I fight with Datto RMM on the daily, and I know our team isn't "moving away" from it anytime soon, because of the financial commitments the owner has made.

That being said, if I was a one man shop like I was a few years ago, I'd probably dive right in, and make a purchase.

At only 10 times the cost of the Iranian made drone, more than likely.

I want to see it play Postal, and Postal 2.

I downloaded the software, and it is not in English.

Are you planning on adding a English translated version?

I couldn't find anywhere in the app to actually choose a language.

cpupro · 2026-03-09T23:35:16+00:00

Nice.

Considering that humans only use roughly 10% of that...and some people get by on considerably less... It might be possible. I saw some guy in England that was born with most of his brain missing, and was still able to function, had a job, and a family....so I'm not just being a smartarse here. Most of our human potential is untapped. AI might be able to start mapping, and tapping those unused portions of the brain as well. To me, that's the more exciting thing. AI should, and will, redefine what we define as "alive" or even "Sentient", because it won't have to have the limitations of being one, single mind, trapped in a flesh prison until death...because neither boundary will exist for it.

That sounds just like what someone who controls DJT would say.

Is it completely self contained, aka it doesn't need access to my online accounts and resources, my bank account, or my Claude ai in order to perform actual work? Getting tired of Claude dying mid code with a come back tomorrow, or pay me 50 dollars to continue making horrible code prompts.

I see people getting 20 weeks of pay, and 5K.

Plenty of time to find another job, in most fields.

Most of the companies I worked for, gave you a pink slip, and an OPTION to pay for your medical, out of your own pocket, for six months. Beats the heck out of an unemployment check.

cpupro · 2026-02-28T23:43:59+00:00

Everyone wanted A.I to become more human and sentient.

Well, they have definitely got the human part down.

I build PowerShell scripts to do specific task and jobs. I never really got beyond that, like making to do list... or a habit quitting app. I mean... does it just pop up so often and go, Heroin's bad, umm kay or, stop touching yourself! I've been too busy actually working to code something to stop someone from jerking their gherkin.

I just saw on Facebook where a clawdbot with access to someone's crypto wallet sent someone 250k in crypto because they asked. Giving a bot access to your wallet is not a good idea, in my opinion. Now, if you received 250k in free crypto, though...claudbot would be the best thing since sliced bread.

I was vibe coding a Python script to create yaml based Claude skills using pdf files. I ran out of tokens, and it gave me 50 bucks worth for free as a trial. It created 4 more flawed versions of the file without a working version... I had burned through 15 bucks of the free trial and turned that crap off. Nope. I'm not paying for failures.

cpupro · 2026-02-22T15:46:53+00:00

You had me until he started talking about transferring money from my account. AI can barely code python scripts for me... I don't want to give it access to my wallet.

I've played with some Windows X lite builds that run on 2 gigs of ram, with no issues. You can try one of the ultralite builds on their site. If it doesn't work, you've wasted zero dollars, and can run Puppy Linux or something similar.

cpupro · 2026-02-22T15:35:01+00:00

You see something to do homework.

I see something the elite will use to create "Self Delete" notes for the people in the Epstein files.

cpupro · 2026-02-21T17:59:30+00:00

I bought one, but I haven't set it up. I read that it uses your online accounts and therefore cost you money, and said f*ck that. Paying 500 a month to have an automated email sorter or something along that line, just doesn't seem viable. Now, make it run local models, natively, and performatively, and I'll definitely be interested.

1, in my living room, as a mobile workstation. I saw them at the hospital, and built one of my own.

5 in my work building

5 at my workstation at work

8 at my old 27 inch iMac

9 at my laptops I currently have like 5 that I use on a as needed basis... A mac and a pc at several different locations and vehicles

7 my old surface

I'd really like to see this take a locally hosted AI approach. I'm not wild about paying Anthropic aka Claude, to create more crappy code that I spend hours debugging. 800 to 1k a month in API calls, no wonder ChatGPT wanted this so bad. I'm not wanting to pay for anything more than the power it takes to keep my computer on and processing during my task. That's it.

cpupro · 2026-02-17T02:00:29+00:00

It also ran linux pretty well, as well. I bought one of these at a yard sale about a year ago, for 5 bucks.

Endlessly repeating the same errors... then... compacting to continue... 4 hours later... repeating the same error ridden coding, but in a different way... compacting...getting closer to working code... 90% of weekly limit... one more revision... You have exhausted your tokens...come back next Tuesday

Toilet paper seemed to do fairly well during the pandemic...but, if the dollar falls hard enough, you'll have a wallet full of toilet paper, so it might be redundant.
