Ignoring the question about whether the cost is reasonable, it's going to be interesting to see what happens to gas stations / convenience stores when the ability to charge your car is basically everywhere.
The only reason we need gas stations is for the specialized infrastructure required to safely hold the fuel. Mass EV adoption is going to kill their business model.
I'm struggling to think of any legitimate use cases that actually benefit society. I can only think of nefarious uses for this technology.
I know Hollywood is interested in it for maintaining the legacy of iconic voices in established IPs like James Earl Jones in Star Wars, but I don't think that benefits society overall. It is neat to potentially have his voice show up in future projects, but that feels like more of a gimmick to justify the technology rather than an actual need.
Fucker should go back to his country. We don't want his kind around here

My key take away from the article beyond the headline:
"Two sources said that the Department of Energy assessed in the intelligence report that it had “low confidence” the Covid-19 virus accidentally escaped from a labe in Wuhan.
Intelligence agencies can make assessments with either low, medium or high confidence. A low confidence assessment generally means that the information obtained is not reliable enough or is too fragmented to make a more definitive analytic judgment or that there is not enough information available to draw a more robust conclusion."
Yeah, that's Jesse Plemons. He's married to Kirsten Dunst of all things. I just finished watching season 2 of Fargo with him and Dunst - both were amazing in it.
I always think of him as "Walmart Matt Damon".
EDIT: Fixed his last name
I have the same experience as you. My local theater chain has good seating, plenty of screens for multiple options, people are usually very good at following proper theater etiquette. I know I could watch it at home, but I go for the atmosphere. Sitting there with no other distractions, having a shared experience with strangers...you can't fully replicate that at home.
It's a shame not everyone has the same opportunity at their theater.
AI Prion disease from cannibalizing other AI posts sounds like a phrase we should have in our vernacular.
Ah, Henderson. You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
None of this rhetoric is new with Trump. This was all out there the first go around. Where was Mitch then? Now that the dog is off his leash and isn't so useful he's decided to "say something". Seems too little too late.
And Scotty beamed them to the Klingon ship, where they would be no Tribble at all.
Holy fuck that's hilarious. I'm definitely going to start slipping this into real life conversations with my ultra conservative family members.
