watching a virtual persona stream their development of their M1 GPU drivers is one of the most cyberpunk things I've ever seen! it's easy to forget that this world is looking closer and closer to those dreamed up by Gibson, Stephenson, etc. what a time to be alive.

I like your optimism, but it seems more like a Phillip K. Dick novel to me.

>In 2021, society is driven by a virtual Internet, which has created a degenerate effect called "nerve attenuation syndrome" or NAS. Megacorporations control much of the world, intensifying the class hostility already created by NAS.

from Johnny Mnemonic

What can we do to make it more utopian?

What an interesting tale. But I feel like an anime character described it to me. I'm totally fine with it (I'm grateful the story is being told at all), but it is surreal tone for technical writing.

There are 149 exclamation points on that page (!)

Apple should upstream their drivers. Who is Asahi Lina? Is that an actual person?

Quoted post unavailable.

Assuming it is the case I don't think it's polite to share this information. I don't know their motivation for creating a separate public image, but I think we should respect their decision to do so by not connecting them.

Which is what Zuck is trying to get us all into with the Meta, but the world is not ready yet.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Have to say as much as I want to watch their streams, I can't get passed the annoying voice.

I had a quick look and the streams it made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. Not in a good way. The write up wasn't so bad but the entire package is too much for me.

I went and checked out the YouTube video attached to one of the tweets. Just...wow. I see what you mean.

The fact so much hardware these days is running a full real-time OS all the time annoys me. I know it is normal and understandable but everything is such a black box and it has already caused headaches (looking at you, Intel).

> Who is Asahi Lina? Is that an actual person? Man... if I was a conspiracy theorist who believed Apple was genuinely evil, what if Asahi Lina is an Apple employee? ;)

Apple has pushed OS updates to help the Asahi team, though they did not publicize this, of course.

Source for this claim?

Don't forget to dissociate the concept of virtual worlds which already exist and are quite popular (MMOs etc.), and the idea of a virtual world owned and imagined by Zuckerberg which has been a terrible failure so far.
