1/ @king__deluxe's THE CORE club in #VRChat has some of the best explorations of spatial VR art mixed with chill indie music I've seen.

Here's a photo thread unpacking moments from their release party for @LLLLTOKYO's RAIN yesterday + why I found it so compelling.
2/ THE CORE was founded by PK, who has an indie label called @king__deluxe.
He started an event series called "Break" in VRChat on Dec 11, 2021.
THE CORE is a theatre-in-the-round space with a DJ & VJ in the middle, but transmutes as walls disappear to become a sphere for VR art
3/ Here's some photos from @deep_rifter that show the diversity of different scenes, colors, shaders, & vibes in last night's Break #4 performance

The CDC's mask mandates were vacated against the advice of public health folks because Federalist judge Mizelle is a textualist who concluded "sanitation" only meant "cleaning" from 1830-1844 when the PHSA passed in 1944.
USG argued 2022's def #2
Decision: documentcloud.org/documents/2163…
2/ I went down a rabbit hole of trying to figure how & why the mandate was lifted, especially as public health professions generally agree that lifting mask mandates on flights is not a great idea.

See this thread by @SaskiaPopescu for more on that 👇
3/ The American Bar Association warned, "A substantial majority of the Standing Committee has determined that Ms. Mizelle is “Not Qualified”... to serve on the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida."

1/ Brief THREAD to unpack @MetaAI's new Project CAIRaoke AI self-supervised learning model announced this morning.

Launch video: facebook.com/zuck/videos/67…

Zuckerberg showed a demo of a Builder Bot conversational VR worldbuilding tool within Horizon Worlds that's featured below.
2/ Horizon World has terrible graphics, but Self-Supervised Learning is foundational AI tech that'll allow multi-modal training beyond labeled data, making speech-to-3D object creation in immersive worlds a reality. Will this yield good world design? TBD.
3/ Project CAIRaoke is a new conversational assistant synthesizing Natural Language Understanding, Dialog State Tracking, Dialog Policy, Management, & Natural Language Generation.
They say it's "deeply contextual & personal."
