At Shanghai OCO 3.0, the official stamp notebook led them to visit nearly every booth, staying from opening to closing.

VRChat community volunteer Patroll said they would stop wiki maintenance, translation and community testing in protest at the influx of AI-generated worlds and images, urging other developers to label their work as AI-free.

The platform also promised better search to surface higher-quality content, with the consultation running for a week before findings and policies are shared.

He still can't work out how to actually pilot the flying saucer, only making it rise, fall, and occasionally rotate.
