Jon NEVERDIE Jacobs unveils the Howling Mine Asteroid in Entropia Universe—a groundbreaking initiative combining teleportation, AI, and gamified employment—to redefine jobs in the age of AI by creating real-world income opportunities in the metaverse and addressing AI-driven job displacement.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — As artificial intelligence continues to transform industries and threaten millions of jobs, Jon NEVERDIE Jacobs, a pioneering figure in the metaverse, presents a visionary solution for the future of work. His latest initiative, centered on the Howling Mine Asteroid in Entropia Universe, introduces gamified jobs as a scalable response to AI-driven job displacement—potentially setting the stage for a new global digital economy.

“We’re not just imagining a solution to AI-driven job loss—we’re implementing it,” says Jon NEVERDIE Jacobs. “The Howling Mine leverages teleportation and gamified employment to create real-world income opportunities in the metaverse, redefining jobs for millions worldwide.”

Set to launch in December, the Howling Mine will become a key destination for mining unique ores vital to the next evolution of the metaverse economy. The update will introduce new features to Entropia Universe, including mining directly from spaceships and intergalactic teleportation, offering players exciting new ways to monetize their time. To build excitement, Mindark launched a series of spaceship blueprints and a universe-wide resource-gathering event, where players can compete for the first-ever space mining ships.

Redefining Work in the Age of AI

As AI systems from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Apple, and Meta reshape industries, the risk of human labor becoming obsolete grows. NEVERDIE offers an alternative: a metaverse economy where virtual jobs generate real-world income for millions of users.

“We’re not passively watching AI make jobs obsolete—we’re using the metaverse and harnessing the power of AI to create new opportunities where people can thrive in a digital economy that values human creativity and interaction,” says NEVERDIE.

Howling Mine: Unlocking a New Economic Frontier

The Howling Mine Asteroid, located in a dangerous, remote sector, will be the focus of a new era for Entropia Universe. Upon its launch, players will face space pirates as they mine rare ores essential for teleportation technology. This exciting gameplay could make space piracy one of the most lucrative virtual professions in the game. The discovery of teleportation opens the door to a turbo-charged virtual economy, where players can “planet-hop” to seize fleeting opportunities, while gamified jobs provide a financial incentive for new players to thrive.

This isn’t just about new gameplay mechanics—it’s the beginning of a scalable model that could address global employment challenges. The Howling Mine is set to provide millions of jobs and generate a new economic ecosystem within the metaverse, bridging the gap between virtual and real-world economies.

Conscription Vs. Subscription

In a unique twist, the primary job opportunity at the Howling Mine involves the gamified hunting of AI bots, turning the war against AI into a real-world income source. Along with the new space mining and shipbuilding ecosystems, these jobs are expected to form the foundation of a space economy. This is not an experiment; it’s a proven model. NEVERDIE’s job system, successfully tested over six years on Rocktropia with 50,000+ completed jobs, has become the planet’s most popular mission, demonstrating its scalability and sustainability.

“The shift from subscription to Free2Play now culminates in the Conscription Model, where players get paid to play—revolutionizing how time and skill are valued in games with virtual economies,” explains NEVERDIE.

A Moonshot on the Future of the Metaverse

In a visionary move, actor and filmmaker Jon NEVERDIE Jacobs, who made headlines in 2005 by mortgaging his Miami home to purchase a virtual asteroid for $100,000—later selling it for $635,000—has secured exclusive rights to the Howling Mine Asteroid. This decision underscores his belief that the Howling Mine will redefine work in the metaverse and generate real-world economic impact.

“I’m confident that the discovery of intergalactic teleportation technology at the Howling Mine will pave the way for millions of people to find work and prosperity in the metaverse, and I’m all-in on making that vision a reality,” says NEVERDIE.

With the potential to create millions of jobs and generate billions in revenue, the Howling Mine is poised to reshape not just virtual economies but global markets as well.

AI-Powered Job Creation: A Scalable Solution to Global Job Displacement

“As AI takes over many of the world’s jobs, we need to look toward digital economies as the next frontier for employment,” explains NEVERDIE. Entropia Universe, with the help of Celeste AI, aims to absorb displaced workers into a thriving digital economy, turning AI from a threat into an opportunity.

Unlike other AI initiatives focused on automating tasks, Entropia Universe uses AI to enhance human involvement, encouraging players to actively contribute to the economy, driving both virtual and real-world impact.

Competing with the AI Giants

NEVERDIE positions the Howling Mine as the blueprint for a new economic model capable of creating millions of jobs worldwide.

“The world should be paying attention to what’s happening in Entropia Universe,” NEVERDIE emphasizes. “We’re not just talking about the future of work—we’re building it, using AI to empower people and drive economic growth in the metaverse.”

The festival served as a celebration of cycling not just as a competitive sport, but as a vehicle for exploration, storytelling, and community connection.

A Festival of Content and Culture

The event kicked off on July 24 with a two-day hub of activity in the heart of Paris. Moving away from traditional retail experiences, Insta360 hosted a series of “Cycle & Create” workshops designed to lower the barrier to content creation.

Attendees gained access to on-site trial devices, allowing them to test out Insta360’s unique product ecosystem firsthand. Insta360 product experts were on hand to teach advanced cycling photography and videography techniques, ensuring riders knew exactly how to capture dynamic, hands-free POV footage of their urban commutes and weekend group rides.

The pop-up also served as a central gathering space for the community. Registered riders connected over coffee, collected their limited-edition Insta360 yellow cycling jerseys, and prepared for the weekend’s main event.

The Hero Moment: Taking Over the Streets of Paris

On Sunday, July 26, over 200 riders embarked on the “Vibrez en Jaune” Pop-Up main event. Organized in partnership with the Peloton Cycling Club, the group rode a 90km route inspired by the Tour de France Paris finale.

Beginning in Versailles, the group rode through the Paris city center before arriving at the Champs-Élysées. To ensure safety and an optimal experience, riders were organized into small, supervised packs of 20 to 25 across four distinct difficulty tiers—Spicy, Medium-Plus, Medium, and Mild—making the professional route accessible to a wide range of skill levels.

Select riders were equipped with Insta360 cameras to record immersive, first-person footage of the group as they navigated the historic streets, creating a collaborative, community-driven documentary of the ride.

Celebrating the Finish Line

The ride concluded at the Insta360 pop-up space for a vibrant after-party. As the actual Tour de France final stage was broadcast live on a giant screen, participants were treated to a professional DJ, refreshments, and finger food.

To reward the community, Insta360 hosted a drawing featuring premium cycling accessory bundles and high-value grand prizes, including the Insta360 GO Ultra Tadej Pogačar Edition and an exclusive jersey signed by the cycling champion himself.

Redefining Urban Exploration

Beyond the celebration of the sport, “Vibrez en Jaune” Pop-Up highlights the brand’s ongoing commitment to sustainable urban lifestyles. By encouraging people to rediscover their cities by bike, Insta360 aims to promote cycling as an accessible, low-carbon choice that allows individuals to experience urban life in a more mindful, connected way.

New ProEssentials v11: Native WinUI Charting Library, 100M Points in 15ms, Following Microsoft’s Vision for True Native Swap-Chain Rendering

Published

July 26, 2026

By

30 years of evolution in native C++ rendering that bypasses the managed XAML layer entirely and renders straight on the GPU via Direct3D compute shaders, in native x64 and ARM64, ready for Microsoft’s Windows on Arm and Copilot+ PCs. A fresh pass of 100M new data points renders to screen in ~65ms. The same engine powers WinUI, WPF, WinForms, MFC, and C++ from one codebase, with .NET 10 — built for real-time scientific, engineering, and financial data.

DALLAS, July 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Gigasoft has released ProEssentials v11, bringing its 30-year native C++ charting engine to WinUI. Every other WinUI chart today renders through managed XAML — ProEssentials renders directly to a Direct3D composition swap chain, the native path Microsoft built WinUI around. The result: 100 million data points re-rendered in roughly 15ms, a fully fresh 100M-point frame on screen in about 65ms.

v11 also ships a native ARM64 engine, ProEssentials runs native on Microsoft’s Windows on Arm and Copilot+ PCs. .NET 10 arrives across the WinUI, WPF, and WinForms interfaces, with Direct3D compute shaders doing the heavy lifting on every architecture. A side-by-side native WinUI chart performance comparison against the major vendors is published on gigasoft.com.

The engine underneath is the same native C++ core Gigasoft has refined since 1993 — deliberately kept native behind a thin .NET wrapper, never rewritten in managed code. One engine drives WinUI, WPF, WinForms, MFC, and C++, so a chart moves between frameworks by changing the control type, not the charting code. Don’t take the numbers on faith — clone the open-source 100M-point WinUI demo and benchmark it on your own hardware.

“ProEssentials is the undisputed heavyweight of Windows desktop charting. Version 11 brings its three-decade native C++ engine to WinUI 3, native ARM64, and .NET 10. We’re proud to ship the world’s first charting component to faithfully deliver on Microsoft’s goal for WinUI as the modern, native, performant interface — presenting directly through a composition swap chain instead of a managed XAML layer,” said Robert Dede, founder of Gigasoft.

ProEssentials is not only for shipping products. It is the tool engineers reach for on their own side projects — R&D experiments, rapid prototypes, proof-of-concept demos, test-and-measurement utilities, internal data analysis, and the one-off tools engineering firms are always building. Any company serious about engineering will find countless uses for it, and with v11’s AI charting code assistance many of those ideas become working applications in a few hours. Licensing is perpetual and royalty-free, generous for multi-developer teams — worth putting in front of your CTO, CIO, and Chief AI Officer. A no-hassle evaluation download is available at gigasoft.com.
