    This shit will stay too expensive to use in the mass market. Sure you can build some specialized app that does some obscure process really well, but that does not constitute a takeoff.

      Ah yes, because history has shown that technology has NEVER gotten more efficient or cheaper over time…

        “If we build the spruce goose 100 times larger, it will fly even better!”

        It’s a tool for certain specialized applications that is being scaled up to high heaven in the hope that a mass use case will materialize out of the aether. It will not. Not a single one of these models does 10% of what these companies claim they do. At least the Spruce Goose could actually fly somewhere and land reliably in the water.
