I'm using Blender. It's saved me, I don't know how many, thousands of pounds going round the design consultation loop with an architect because by the time we handed them the brief we had already honed it down to what we wanted and they just made some regulatory adjustments before going straight on to planning.

Your argumen would make the old yellow pages a nightmare because it would hold the yellow pages company responsible for vetting every single company that chooses to advertise with it. And continue to monitor and check that every single company is doing exactly what they say they are doing. Now you have to magnify that on a global scale. At what point is there not some responsibility on the user in your model?

Yes I know. I was just stating "just" encryption in transit isn't E2EE (I.e. https).

E2ee is encrypted from end to end. From when it is written and saved on the source to when it is received and read on the destination. Anything except you that can read messages before you do, without your permission, and potentially send it off somewhere breaks E2EE, which is what they are proposing.

> It does not provide other types of encryption (i.e. encryption at rest) for your messages.

Going to need a source on that, no encryption at rest. Nothing I can find suggests that. I have found some claim it can be broken with physical device access but if the device itself is encrypted then it doesn't matter.

Excerpt from the linked content^1 by Isabel Woodford:

>A Colombian court this month hosted its first legal trial in the metaverse, and now hopes to experiment again with virtual reality, authorities told Reuters.

>At the two-hour hearing held by Colombia's Magdalena Administrative court, participants in a traffic dispute appeared as avatars in a virtual courtroom.

>Magistrate Maria Quinones Triana's avatar dressed in black legal robes.

>The country is among the earliest worldwide to test real legal hearings in the metaverse, immersive virtual reality to make digital spaces feel more lifelike, often with avatars representing each participant.

>The case - brought by a regional transport union against the police - will now proceed partly in the metaverse, potentially including the verdict, Quiones said. She did not rule out metaverse hearings elsewhere.

>"This is an academic experiment to show that there it's possible... but where everyone consents to it, (my court) can continue to do things in the metaverse," she added.

what about bandwidth requirements, texture resolutions and the size requirements to power/leverage all that? AAA development times are already between 6-10 years for fundamental new projects that move the technical verge and aren't iterating on established franchises and tech (simply because quality standards are so top of the line) the kind of hyper-realism that is enabled with that display tech if it ever hits will probably take generations to be fully exhausted/leveraged.
