Doesn't a room filled with those wobble head avatars spawning never ending NPC dialogue sound intriguing?
I though LLMs would be awesome to like hide main quests and stuff with long dialogues everywhere, but the more I think about it the more annoying I think that would be.
And I mean, when people rearrange some chairs to a phallus they want to know someone is watching. If anything Second Life Metaverse experiences probably wont work very well with rooms filled of bots.

It definitely sounds intriguing, in the same sense that a bad car accident is intriguing.

Confused arguments. H1B visa holders are not “off shore”. They live and pay taxes in the USA. The big tech companies are hungry for talent and compete world-wide to hire the best. It is not about shafting older US engineers. The AI angle may be a distraction they use but the main argument in this article is likely to be just wrong.

Are you sure you didn't mean "cheapest"?

Yes

That's bullshit. It's about having talent they can exploit under the threat of losing their visa.

No it is not. At least not a Microsoft which was flagged in the piece we are talking about, right?
