I think the difference here from GTA is that this is a shared virtual world where the actions of players shape the society inside the game. If they’re creating a society where stimulated child abuse is shrugged off as just someone’s private life (even though it’s essentially public to everyone on second life) then I wouldn’t want to participate in that society, and if I worked for the company making second life I wouldn’t want any part of it.

You can argue about it all you like, but if you say the word “antisemitism” then people will assume you mean anti-Jewish sentiment. Because that’s the agreed-upon meaning. Pineapples aren’t really apples, but that doesn’t cause confusion because people know what the word “pineapple” means.

I love the idea of an open source engine becoming the industry standard, even if just for indie titles. Blender is a great success story and shows that FOSS can compete with industry standard creative software.

Apparently they’ve gone back on this now: https://www.theregister.com/2023/08/08/zoom_ai_legalese_update/
