Epic released a new tool called MetaHuman Animator that captures an actor’s facial performance using an iPhone, that then creates your “MetaHuman” in the Unreal Engine using local GPU hardware within “minutes.” Thursday the US Senate Judiciary Committee is resurfacing The Journalism Competition and Preservation Act, a proposed bill designed to help print and broadcast news outlets in their negotiations with tech giants. Streamlabs released a new podcast editing tool called Podcast Editor. It includes machine-assistance like text-based editing and transcript generation.

Steam Opens a Fresh Valve - GDI 4542 starts at 32:39

Steam has a new look. Roger has thoughts. Who complains more, gamers or people into politics? Should you build the infrastructure or the content first? PC gaming talk takes over. Do you give the next big thing a chance? How is your lilypad? Justin is spoiled with choices. What are you really looking for with VR and AR? The group has thoughts on the Apple Vision Pro. Do you think you could do more while using a headset or a laptop? The UI can bring it all together. Do you know someone who still uses an old flip phone? When was the last time you printed out a map? Sarah and Justin have strong thoughts on the new MAX show, The Idol.

Starring Sarah Lane, Justin Robert Young, Roger Chang, Amos, Joe.
