I wonder if the process has been accelerated due to how much of the animal we use in food adjacent and non-food products, which aren't anywhere near as looked at as the "pure" food treatments. Potentially an example of how ou

Google is set to go on trial in 2024 with the FTC. We'll see how that goes. I don't have high hopes, primarily due to how difficult it is to expect larger reach by adhering to past laws that are quite lenient. At most I can see Ad

That's the point. Vision has to dictate itself as a general purpose device in the market, and so far they haven't done a great job at that. Their reluctance to lean into gaming is a huge part of this desire to present Vision as no

Apple has multiple problems here, ones that it can't exactly outpace which is that when they do start making a big deal of gaming they back themselves into a corner. They have to face the problem that VR gaming devices are much cheaper
