It is slop

Go fuck yourself

Give people an OS that works and works in a way that's a dumb pipe without AI "improvements"

I understand there's arguments about "this is not new, they've been working on VR for a decade" - fine, but it's Zuckerberg, who apparently never does anything in good faith (see: the Winklevoss twins, Whatsapp, Snapchat, Libra, etc)
