I have a pretty insane thing where I patched the screen sharing binary and hand rolled a dummy MDN so I can have multiple profiles logged in at once on my Mac Studio. Then have screen share of diff profiles in diff "windows". Was for some ML data gathering / CV training.

It's pretty neat, screen sharing app is extremely high quality these days, I can barely notice a diff unless watching video. Almost feels like Firefox containers at OS level.

Have thought that could be a pretty efficient way to have restricted unrestricted convenient AI access. Maybe I'll get around to that one day.

I have a Studio collecting dust that I've been eyeing every time my VM crashed because of Apple's paravirtualized GPU proxy not being able to keep up with things I run in it.

This sounds exactly like what I wanted to do on my Studio and didn't know where to pull the thread from.

Do you have this method shared openly anywhere?

Nah but I'd be happy to share it with you over DM! (If they have DMs on here?)
