Frontier model? The most recent one was so good the government had to step in. An AGI can never really happen because of situations like that. Add to that the rogue Ai attack that happened, and the future for these things seems to be quite limited. In a regular regulatory framework this whole field would have been legislated and limited enough that that we wouldn't have Ai escaping, and wouldn't have people being able to use it nefaurously. This is why there won't be a "frontier model." Because these failures will happen, databases will get dumped accidentally, all that. Because there are no guardrails, there's no point in innovating.

Umm, bud, get that money out now? It's commonly advised to not bet anything you need, or use it as a savings account. Especially not now, before it was barely somewhat possible when things were stable, but not now. And with your down payment? Pretty serious stuff to lose just because some jabroni sends a tweet or didn't bribe the administration enough. Things can go right, yeah, but think about how wrong things can go, and how fast, and how much more likely that is than making... What? 1k or something, at most? Naah, naah. You can just negotiate a better price for the house to make up for the difference.
Check out "Linux survival" if you're old school, LabEx if you like experiential learning more, and less explanation. Both offer exercises, both are free, but Labex has a few restrictions for free accounts, and offers a paid tier at like 9 bucks a month. And ofc you don't have to use the terminal irl, it's just easier after getting used to it. Most things have a GUI program equivalent, you just have to seek it out. Most of the time.
Edit: And also, Linux Mint and a few others are often recommended to new users for being both similarish to windows and approachable with GUI.
Well... Yeah. It's a headset that you wear on your head. They're really uncomfortable. How do you not get a headache from them? How are you supposed to play a game for any meaningful amount of time? I seriously have never see a headset that wasn't a flop or a regretted purchase for it's audience. The "metaverse" crashed and burned, if VR was such a promising innovation, wouldn't it have done well?
VR is just the new version of the same thing that was happening with every iteration of "3D" whatever over the past 80 years or so. It's always the next best thing and right around the corner, but in this instance the premise is just flawed. A lot of people are still "social" when they game, talking to family, texting people, pausing to watch a video or go get something to eat.
Edit: And just looking up the ram: 16 gigs?? Aside from that, it's intended for streaming games from a main pc, do most people even have internet that's fast enough to handle that? Iirc in the US at least the government and companies have been dodging defining what "high speed" is because most of the country doesn't have access to it. And the resolution specs seem great, but what FPS would it be at? I gotta hazard a guess that it'd be at 30 or so for most modern games.
