There Will Never Be Another SL

[Free]

My opinion of him isn't nearly as high as everyone else's.

 

[Khamon]

He's a bit of a lightweight but nothing aweful; just puffery

Puffery is a good description. H. R. Pufnstufery comes to mind. Hamlet played the part of Freddy the magic flute.



edit: clarification of "played"

Maybe I should just make a new thread but thats not really very "derailing".

On the GPT based stuff. I played around with the script from the Github link. Which also meant setting up a paid account on OpenAI, because I guess I already used my free trial. The cost per API call is absurdly low though, I can't imagine I will ever exceed a few dollars a month, and possibly pennies a month, unless I start using it for other purposes. I still set a hard limit at $10.

Anyway, it works, but I am not sure what to do with it. It doesn't realy work as a personal assistant, since it can't get real time data. I asked it to tell some stories but that was boring.

I got it to give me an LSL script to change a prim's color on click, which worked fine.

I then had it build an "online indicator", based on UUID, which would set the prim color if someone was online or offline. That, sort of, but did not work. For some reason it was calling llGetColor(), and did not give it any parameters. I added "All_Sides and it worked, but for some reason, in addition to the online indication, it also had a touch toggle.

When I removed the touch toggle, the script worked, but only if the Avatar in question was in the same region. So like, I put my UUID in, and it turned green.

I logged in on an alt, added that UUID, and it stayed red, until I TPed to the first avatar, then it was green. It went Red when I TPed away.

I ended up looking into it and changing how it worked based on the LSL wiki but well, its interesting that it, almost sort of worked.

Puffery is a good description......

A coupla quotes, sometimes even block quotes, a few self referential statements of 'I used to work there',
and a healthy dose of 'Some People said....' ---- Which seems to be common to most 'Reporting', Period.
Add in a Healthy Dash of hand waving rhetorical flourishes. With finally some sort of a Jump? to some sort of a Conclusion.

Well least his website loads faster now, and flags less crosssite activity.

SL is like Hotel California.

Except I know loads of people who have left and not come back. A friend and I were just talking about how 9/25 makes one year since another friend has last logged in. I know through FB that he's not dead. He just left.

The closest thing to another SL is NeOS but it got derailed by disagreements in the company over cryptocurrency. Damn shame.

Not come back.... yet.

Nah, VR Chat is the only thing even remotely close.

 

[Argent Stonecutter]

Nah, VR Chat is the only thing even remotely close.

VR Chat doesn't have the in-world building and scripting.

Nah, VR Chat is the only thing even remotely close.

While the VR engine has more depth( could easily recreate SL)... most of the content is premade from other sources. They don't take themelves as serious as SL.
3rd person view, freeform camera doesn't exist.. inventory system is limited.. no text chat... voice only. its heavily comprised of Memes and anime..

when it comes to in depth customization( thats strange saying that with it's limitations..) SL still wins in the long run..

VR Chat is a better competitor to Sansar....

 

[Noodles]

I have to admit.

I have barely used VR Chat. All I know, I have seen from other people.

It mostly just gives me more of the "driven by user derived content" feel that SL has vs basically anything else.

I am also discounting some things like OpenSIM which are basically just, SL.

One thing I've learned not to do is to think too hard about friends I've lost in SL. The list is long and the heartache still lives.

in my opinion,User generated/derived content to me the biggest factor when it comes to virtual worlds. Others have failed cause they try to "control it" or "limit" who can or can't. innovation can be found when you let people loose and do their own thing. communities flurish around certain Ideas and properties..

The problem ,in my opinion, comes people/companies protecting their intellectual properties.. while some make thier own stuff... ip theft is common..some people generate thier own ideas using other peoples stuff.. other people, just use other peoples stuff. no one has figured out a way to balance this in a way that satisfies everyone.( if it's even possible)
