Can’t imagine what was uncomfortable about the M50. Ive had a pair for almost 15 years and still find them fantastic sounding. Had to replace the ear pads because i haev liked them and worn and used them so much the earpads literally fell apart. Incredible value for money for what I paid for them back then.

>I believe this technology could be used in destructive ways. If it were in unscrupulous hands, for instance, it could spread misinformation, political propaganda, or hateful information about people of different ethnicities and religions. As far as I know, Google and Microsoft have no plans to use the technology in this way. But there's no way of knowing the side effects of this technology.

Google and Microsoft are currently deeply embedded in social control and mass manipulation of the world into a state of war. Its difficult to see what abuses are not already occurring today.

Its one more tool available to the nefarious.

Rather than focus on the technology, we need to focus more on the awful tendencies of human culture.

The mega trends of the current day are that we have a resource crunch and a carbon budget that is rapidly shrinking to zero and brewing trade war that will see several trade blocs increasingly refusing to trade raw material and technology.

I’m therefore skepical of anybody claiming that the cost of producing this is going to radically drop in the next 5-7 years. It’s hugely resource intensive to produce, and the supply chain has a gazillionweak spots:
