In a median 10W consumer compute future where that’s limited by electricity prices you’ll have much more pressing issues than “what does the metaverse look like”.
I do think your low powered engine project is very cool though.
- bullen 5y agoNo you don't, the only thing separating mad max without cars from hell is if you can communicate and not feel lonely, a global 3D action MMO is the only thing that makes sense, meatspace is about to become a mess! The 3D action part of this equation is very important, without it you cannot trick the reptile brain that you are actually there, 3D MMORPGs don't trigger this at all, f.ex! Also if you use that excuse to keep building wasteful software you are not part of a solution.
- meheleventyone 5y agoI lean the other way TBH in such a scenario local, meatspace relationships are going to be all the more important! Not just for loneliness but for basic survival. Likewise I’m skeptical in such an energy scenario we’d have affordable internet access or supply chains to build and equip people with low power computers. Let’s hope we don’t have to find out!
- bullen 5y agoIt's impossible that we won't find out, 2nd law of thermodynamics combined with photosyntesis. What I'm saying is that today we use the internet for mostly non interesting stuff when we all can be gods and create interconnected worlds with our minds!
