Who would have guess that another overpriced solution to a non existent problem that no one wants would have been a commercial failure ....

We are in a capitalist dystopia. We could be using AI to predict energy usage and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, or help in discovering new protein folds ... but no ... Timmy wants to look like a cool futuristic dude and he's willing to pay $600 to look cooler than his peers

We could be using AI to predict energy usage and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels

That's happening

or help in discovering new protein folds

That too.

There's always been barnacles on the ship of progress. That doesn't mean it's only barnacles.

"barnacles in the ship of technology"

I really like that one. Very well put

these people live in a delusion, chasing star trek fantasies while the general population can barely afford rent. we are truly due for the chickens to come home to roost.

i just hope a lot of innocent animals don't get hurt in the process.

Surely the Star Trek fantasy is doing the above stuff. Star Trek is all about how money doesn't exist in the future

The problem is they're not creating a Star Trek future

Yeah their videos were what everyone wants but their actual product was way more clumsy and primitive. Technology isn't there yet for what these guys were trying to make.
