User runs 510GB LLM on modest home PC; Meta removes AI glasses satire

A user details their modest home setup for running large language models, including an RTX 5060 GPU with 8GB of VRAM and 31 GiB of RAM. They are successfully running the 510 GB DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash model on this hardware, noting three bugs that do not trigger error messages. Separately, Meta removed a satirical video of its staff using AI glasses, citing bullying concerns, shortly after the company showcased its $1,299 VR headsets at the Connect event. AI
