psa: llm bullshit, zoom auto-enable opt-out
PSA: Zoom is automatically opting in its Pro users into its AI bullshit. Their deadline for opt-out is 8/28/2024*.
Supposedly, this is to remove an extra setting, moving this to being enabled per meeting, and does not result in model training. But if you're like me and don't like even the option of it being enabled, this is worth keeping off at the account level.
They hid the setting in a pop-up notification at the top of their settings page:
https://zoom.us/profile/setting?tab=aicompanion
Infuriatingly, this setting disappears when clicked and didn't initially appear when I navigated to settings on their website, so I'm not able to demonstrate it here. It's so fucking suspicious that I checked if it was a phishing email, but as best as I can tell, it seems to be legitimate. (I'm pulling a few punches here, since a possible explanation is this was the easiest way to implement this feature on their end.)
Anyway: if you're using Zoom, (1) verify their email if you got it, as phishing scams can easily reuse how they did this and (2) go do the thing.

* The top date is 8/29/2024, but they then state 8/28 further down the document. I would recommend trusting the earlier deadline so they don't get the benefit of user confusion there.

... and the game actually told me what I missed to go back for, so I have an expectation of the costs of digging out the remaining lore.
Also game good. Will be playing it more to see what else I can find.

Played through my first run this evening and... just like with Prodigal, this is everything I wanted Void Stranger to be. It's just so fscking refreshing by comparison.
Because while I hit the credits being mostly bewildered by what the heck was going on? I can still kind of tie it back together to series lore, have vague exposition threads to go on, had a satisfying gameplay loop that respected my time, and got an absolute banger outro song to play it all out.
