I agree, which is why I think we should normalize leaving meetings.

  Ironically, VR might help with this, because you can leave your VR avatar listening for you :)

    yeah, but if you leave your avatar, it just goes limp and is obvious you're not there. or, it just stands there doing that NPC awkward flailing of the arms/sighing/whatever when not doing something specific which is just as obvious. it would be my preference where you could just make it super obvious the meeting is boring AF and do a magician smoke burst when you exit the meeting. make your avatar hold up a sign that says "Why Am I Here?". maybe have your avatar start throwing money at the presenter so they can buy a clue? like, if we're going to use VR and live in the metaverse, let's do things there that we can't do IRL.

      Maybe Meta's monetization strategy is that for $1/minute, you can put your avatar on autopilot so it moves as if you were there, while you're in the kitchen tempering chocolate. For $2/minute, it responds to questions addressed to it with GPL3 generated speech. (Zuck_make_it_rain.gif)

        I kind of want to do something similar but without meta. If it weren't for morals/ethics/whatever about sending company data to 3rd parties, I would love to have GPL3 respond to a subset of my emails for a few weeks just to see if anyone would notice.

    You don't need an avatar for that. Just leave (phisically) your laptop while but stay connected (camera off).
