Drawn art AI gets plenty of hits too, and alleged fair use and other defenses applies to music too. Its purely a power difference. Music industry has been much more litigious and strict on protecting their copyright, while drawn art industry (if you can call it that) was permissive and benevolent to a fault. They are protected by the same laws, these corporations know there is 0 reason why an argument that applies to one cant be applied to other. They were so far successful in blurring the waters with cringy catchphrases like “it learns like humans” (its not a human, important distinction in copyright law and for anyone with common sense) “copyright is arcane anyways should be done away with” (for small artists tho, not for us). Theyre burying their music ais because they dont want to break the illusion they created in publics and lawmakers eyes.

meta has indeed done amazing things for pushing vr and making it affordable (among many terrible things) but they have an image issue they cant really solve by renaming themselves. Everyone and even their grandma has the phrase "facebook tracks you" or "facebook listens to your microphone" in their mind (regardless of truth). Its not enough for people to drop facebook or apps they already incorporated in their lives, but it will probably be enough for people resisting adoption of something you put on your head and changes what you see. It has a completely different place in peoples mind and has an entirely different psychology than a phone in your pocket. So apple with their (false) image of privacy and strong fanbase might just be the thing that pushes vr to mainstream.

> dump trucks get refilled while they're in a queue waiting for the digger, so until they can work out how to fully recharge in that time, nobody is going to want them.

Tbf running a high gauge wire to loading and unloading bays sounds easier than managing refilling of individual trucks with flammable liquid
