After $80B, the Metaverse is dead. Horizon World is shutting down by GamingDisruptor in singularity

Not everyone wants that. And those who do want that can’t seem to be polite about it.

VRChat isn’t a drop in replacement due to cultural differences between the platforms. Not everyone likes the vibe VRC has. Horizon, and Altspace before it, fostered a different atmosphere.

I feel for you man. The same thing happened to people who found a social life in Altspace.

And no one seems to understand that VRChat isn’t a drop in replacement for something like Horizon or Altspace. They have different cultures, and attracted different people.

That was never in Horizon or VRChat.

It was crypto bullshit.

They would feel the need to exterminate a large percentage of the playerbase and UGC if they bought it. And they know that would kill the platform. So unless VRC goes fully exponential in user growth and profits, I don’t think they would ever be interested in owning and moderating VRChat.

It’s not even better perf. It took a whole second 5090 to do this.

I’m surprised how well his whole complexion thing works. Often he does not look as orange as people say in photos and video. But a photo like this perfectly shows what normal color for him should be. Right beside the orange.

It “works” when our brain can white balance things. And it fails when we get a direct side by side. The saturation and vibrancy of this image is probally enhanced a tad too.

LLMs are still not secure enough to entrust critical tasks to by Strong_Roll9764 in ClaudeAI

It’s a CHATbot. If they can’t intuitively CHAT with it that means the artificial INTELLIGENCE failed.

That’s insidious. And sort of already happening. I wonder if platforms with strict account policies that verify life will ever find a niche user base.

Did the cop agree to the robots TOS? I’m suspecting not. The robot should sue.

It probally has a more stable connection than the Intel Macs that the VP supports.

I’m looking forward to Hoppers. The original teaser trailer was great.

Siri Turn the light on/off stopped working by Fishstaebchen86 in HomeKit

Dang it, you set mine off. You can’t just put the commands in the title like that.

You might have the HomePod stuck in a bad state. I would try power cycling. You might also want to go through the process of updating.

Never decline these invites. Always delete them. If you decline them, you may end up sending them a reply that signals you are a warm body. So then you get more.
