I find that hard to believe.

Ear pads are replaceable. And thus it's not the end of life.

Nonsense. Antivax brigade were suburban middle class housewives doing their research on Facebook.

Trials were just as rigorous as any. It was 18 months before covid vaccines came out. Speed of vaccine rollout was fast due to emergency situation, but to suggest the science was sidestepped is complete nonsense. And you're just repeating the antivax conspiracy talking points. Efficacy of the vaccines has shown to be what the science established. Not only that but they were only slightly less effective against new variants, and updated vaccines could be rolled out quickly.

This should be celebrated, not diminished to some crackpot level of antivax fodder. Covid trials saw some of the most open, collaborative, publicised, and independently reproduced science in human history. And the work on mRNA has expedited towards very promising stuff like cancer treatment.

Pop? Wtf does pop mean?

Nothing to do with time, but whether it should be developed. Twitter example is relevant. Why would you compete?

This iteration of thd stupid robot isn't the point. It's where it can get from a to z. Z, btw, is very ambitious. Frankly I doubt this will turn into anything like promised, and probably fail. At best if will fetch my beers from the fridge.

This shit is hard. What musk promises and delivers ard worlds apart. I wouldn't gamble my money on his AI pipedream, regardless whether this version is "a commendable start".

This is the same as the underground tunnel in vegas. A shit start to an overhyped promise. When he delivers on promise I'll bd impressed. Until then, it's just hype.
