Im on pro, installed gemini app, tried argon 4, keeps failing with 404, resource now found. Switched to gemini-3.8-flash in same session... worked.

It seems to be rolling out gradually.. not available at once to everyone.

"Argon autonomously turns raw video to a physics-accurate simulation, estimating depth and physical boundaries, and writing the exact simulation code required to replicate those real-world environments."

This is crazy if it can work accurately.

Bluesky of course not.. But nostr, yes: It's better than anything else.. you own your own data, you can connect to multiple independently operated relays, and anyone can discover you using your public key only.

The messages are the interface. What possibly can be better than that that is also practical?

I'd rather use bluesky. Way better interface. Or, even better... Nostr ..a fully open/decentralized network.

In this context we are referring to the vr world from Meta. Otherwise it's same as the two examples you quoted.. just, worse... and boring.

No thanks. We have seen multiple times now how it all starts with "good" stuff, then it gets more and more and more locked-down... to the point where you cannot even install apps on your own device, from wherever you want to.

No thanks.. I'd rather switch to Firefox, or even any other shitty browser, but not the one from any other gatekeeping monopoly.

Elmo will abuse anything he can. The guy has narcissistic personality. Stop using his products as much as you can.

Just tried. And wow!! I opened my mac's activity monitor to see how much load it was putting on my system, and i had to scroll all the way down ... unlike those current harnesses that sit right on top (sorted by used cpu, descending).

And it worked. I'm switching to this unless i find a reason not to.

Metaverse was right direction with poor execution. Also, it was early... and is still early (if tried again). The world is not there yet for such a thing.

I generally agree with more competition thing, but in this case, you actually should want only one company to race ahead, and not a few.

With a few of these top companies together, you, as a nobody, has no one powerful on your side. But with only one company pretty far ahead, you now have other companies which obviously don't give a shit about you, but for saving their own asses, will align with you.

Both exploit, but "cartels" survive, not loners.

I've been a regular user of muse spark 1.3 ... and I can tell you one thing for sure that this model, muse-spark-1.3 in xhigh mode, is between sol-6-medium and high.

This is already so good that 90% of my work has shifted away from codex to this. So, muse-wonder-full coming near opus 5.5 is kinda expected.

You have the option of TOTP that gives you 100% of the control, privacy, and portability. Yet, for minor inconvenience, you are ready to sacrifice all of this. Why?
