I've got a Meta Quest 2 as a hand-me-down and yes, it's extremely locked down. It's possible to use a third-party app store, but to make it work you have to get a developer account with Meta and enable wireless debugging.

YOUR HOUSE IS A HOUSE OF PSEUDOSCIENCE! IN THE NAME OF FEYNMAN, MAY NONE OF YOUR PAPERS PASS PEER-REVIEW!!!
In this house we do not recognize phosphine as a biomarker! Get the fuck out of my face!
Starship Titanic comes to mind, though the text parser is only used to talk to characters.
You might also enjoy playing around with KathaaVerse. It uses AI (LLM) to turn any book into a text adventure. Last time I tried it, a lot of the time it felt more like playing a fever dream than an internally consistent story, though.
I installed Windows 11 Pro 24H2 yesterday and the oobe\bypassnro trick worked for me. You just have to make sure no ethernet cable is connected. Then if you tell the installer you have no internet, it'll let you create a local account.
The SR-71 is really fast and sleek, sure, but how can it be your favourite when it doesn't even have a massive gun that goes BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT!...?
I don't think it's the lyrics that trigger me, though.
As for movies, I can probably relate. I get annoyed when movies try to push my emotional buttons in a way that feels phony or manufactured. A lot of Disney and Spielberg movies tend to have this effect on me.
That also makes me irrationally angry, even though people should be allowed to be wrong...
Seriously, though, I think there's something about the trick(s) these songs use to get stuck in people's heads that triggers a very negative visceral reaction in me, like I'm being violated somehow. This leaves me no room to appreciate the songs' originality or sound design.
A centrally planned economy run by computers, to be more specific, isn't a new idea. Who knows what would have happened if the Soviet Union had implemented the OGAS system. They had the US government worried, but it was defunded because of bureaucratic infighting.
According to Wikipedia Project Cybersyn had some success in Chile before the Allende regime was overthrown by a CIA-supported coup in 1973.
Similar ideas were explored further by a Scottish computer scientist and a professor of economics in a book called "Towards a New Socialism".
I don't know if artificial neural networks (ANN), which is what most people mean when they say "AI" nowadays, would be a lot of help in a system like this. I couldn't find any papers that suggest they perform better than classical models when making economic predictions. A big disadvantage of ANNs is that it's almost impossible to figure out why they come to the conclusions they do. I suppose neural networks could be useful for analyzing public sentiments, though.
More generally, machine learning algorithms trend to be really good at optimization problems, which could come in handy when planning an economy.
Historically, I don't think centrally planned economies have worked very well. If you add computers and AI to the mix, though, who knows! I don't think it's ever been properly tried.
"Toxic" by Britney Spears and "Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran both make me irrationally angry.

I haven't tried it myself yet, but I hear the SideQuest app store is the place to go.
