My favorite part of this is that A) everyone stayed in-character as this unfolded and B) they brought the cat back on stage for the curtain call.

Making progress, yes. Catching up? Probably not. It will likely take years to undo all the damage they've done. And we're only a year and a half into the term. They're far from finished.

Reminds me of Pierce's will

I don't have a problem with them having a policy to keep meetings to a manageable length. I have a problem with the fact that they can just choose to apply it arbitrarily.

With a Facebook account tied to a throw-away email. I don't use any of the apps other than Steam Link and Virtual Desktop (the only app I have ever purchased through the quest store). I actually found ways to delete/disable a lot of the apps that send back telemetry/user data. I would still prefer a non-meta headset, but they aren't getting much, if anything, out of me as a user.

I bought one used, so technically I didn't give them any money ;)

I mean, you can do that now with a Quest 3, but I'm hoping the Frame will be a less fiddly experience, since that is the intended use case. Meta have gone out of their way to make PC gaming less friendly on their devices.

Despite that public opposition, the theory does appear to be gaining some traction in Washington. In a letter last week, Congressman Brett Guthrie, R-Ky., the chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce called for a briefing on whether the U.S. government sees evidence for Chinese influence in the data center debate.

Translation: "Please provide some reasonable basis for us to claim that public opinion is a hoax perpetrated by a foreign power, so we can do whatever the fuck we want and make tons of money."

Back in the late 90s, when I was about to finish my degree, I actually sent in an application to the FBI. It's entirely possible that years of watching X-Files had some influence on that decision.

I suppose that depends on the goal behind the labeling. If the main goal is to call out when AI-generated content was used in lieu of paying actors and animation artists, then yes, they should also be forced to disclose when voice-over and non-realistic animated characters were AI generated.

If, however, the goal is to simply inform consumers that the person they're looking at on the screen is not a real human, then I don't think those things are a big concern.

It's not really clear from the story what the intended goal is.
