He quit a GenAI leader in protest. Now he wants to create fairer systems for artists

Meta Wants Android Play Store Apps Officially on Quest but Google “didn’t want to”

There are relatively few 2D Android apps available on the Quest Store, which seems odd since the Quest hardware runs a modified version of Android.
