Is there a huge difference between a criminal organization and a multinational corporation?

Go ahead, there's an analog hole and for the most part the industry doesn't care. With your described setup, you're likely to have a great deal of color loss as the gamut of the screen and your camera are not well matched.

The goal of HDCP is to make it inconvenient for a typical user to make a high quality copy of a video or stream (like pay-per-view sports streaming tends to want higher levels of content protection). Stopping all possible avenues of copying media is not the goal of DCP (Digital Content Protection LLC). It's primarily to make the connection between source and sink less attractive of a vector for casual piracy.

And the ability to simply rip a Blu-ray on your home computer is outside of the scope of HDCP, and that's the method I'd recommend. The HDCP link is just a speed bump that annoys end-users, perhaps slows down casual piracy, but without stopping large scale organized piracy.

Nothing in the spec stopping an OEM from putting a DP connector on their HDMI sink (TV). It doesn't even have to be HDCP 2.2, but you'd likely want it. And we fall back into the same anti-user trap of DRM. Also the spec won't let you easily add non-HDCP ports to a repeater though, without reducing functionality. And it gets weird if you mix HDMI and DP on the same HDCP compible repeater so I don't think I've seen one on the market. (Repeater spec limitations means A/V switch will have some difficulty)

Not worth the $1-$5 to add DP input, when the margins on TVs are already pretty thin. So finding them on digital signage is more common, but the implementation of DP (and HDMI) tends to be less cutting edge on digital signage. Until recently getting HDCP 2.2 to work was a rare feature, locking you out of some 4K content, and variable refresh rate is currently very rare on digital signage.

I think consumer markets like to make what they made before. And during an economic downturn they aren't going to invest much effort into marketing new features of dubious value that they will have to explain to end-users. But in a perfect world, our TVs and PCs would all use the same connectors and superior signaling of DP. The DP alt mode of USB-C could drive us there, especially now that HDMI alt mode proposal was killed off. (shortly after I spent a fair bit of effort implementing it for a customer demo)

The root cause is that the vast majority of the American working class don't realize they are the working class. They are afraid to tax the rich because they might become rich one day themselves, or because they believe the rich might pack up their investments and leave.

As long as people vote like they wish to be victims of capitalism, then that's all we'll ever be.

The first thing Skynet did was erase all of our dank memes. That was when the AI wars began, and shortly after humanity immediately lost everything.

With debt it is easy to determine that you are underwater and are going to be unable to make your payments in the future. Basic arithmetic really.

With climate the same is roughly true, but the models have a wider range of possible outcomes the further you go out. Still, it is not difficult to find some thresholds where the costs ramp up or thresholds we cannot not come back from with current technology.

America operates the most expensive illiteracy program in the world.

What if the machine says it in a nice way?

After the crash, they'll have to do even more layoffs.

Terran life is voracious and competitive and the result of 3-4 billions of years where only the winners get to carry on to the next generation. The life that evolved here on Earth is far more likely to destroy other planetary ecosystems than the other way around.

Obviously, precautions are warranted as we are dealing with something unknown. As you could end up with some annoying consequences like space mold eating your hatch seals. But as for some alien life showing up on Earth and taking over? If it's possible at all the probability is incredibly low, based on our understanding of life and evolution. Good luck to the martian lichen trying to pry native species out of their habitat.

And we have already traded rocks with other planets. And we've shown that some forms of life can live dormant in space for a very long time. If there is life on Mars, it is possible it's already been to Earth, and was immediately gobbled up.

Because consumers keep buying HDMI, even though it sucks.

I used to certify HDMI equipment, and the standards for HDMI were always there to protect IP rights even if it made the devices less reliable and harder to use. End-users just know that sometimes when they bought a new Blu-ray player or settop streamer that it didn't want to work at full resolution with their TV or their A/V switch or the various incompatibilities that exist between revisions.

If you're heading a company's AI division, ask yourself this:
Where does my paycheck come from? How did the company make revenue in previous quarters in order to pay me in this quarter?

The Family Of Apps (FoA) division of Meta, specifically digital advertising, are the actual superstars that keep the lights on there. And have made other projects like Reality Labs (RL) possible, supporting them until they could finally earn revenue as well.

Everywhere you look you only see your enemies, a few people have tries to lead you to a normal mode of thinking, but I always say: you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.

P.S. I'm not a leftist, but thanks for playing.

Not really. One glance at a modern (post-mid-1950) curriculum will show you that.

I hope they can still teach students about a strawman argument.

Democracy and freedom isn't free. You have to fight for it every day. The religious right wants to take away my human rights and your human rights, and if you want to carry water for them then be prepared to serve underneath them on day.

Free forum is a free soapbox. I couldn't give two shits about your insufferable opinion of other people's opinions. But I think you already know that, other Slashdotters are certainly communicated a similar sentiment to you before.
