Still won't stop the "alpha male" types from hating it because they base their entire personality around doing what they think wi make other people mad.

Cool. Maybe, soon, they can turn me into a sausage?

Lab-grown meat is the way we're going to add long pork to our diets.

That's already possible! You just need a good butcher

Uhh. That's meaningless? What's the energy/resource usage comparison.

Every one of these claims so far has been 100% Elon Musk style “FSD is ready to ship right now in 2017” kinds of claims.

There was a great article in the New Yorker (or one of those style mags) a month or so ago that just ripped the industry apart about the billions of dollars spent on products that were overhyped and never shipped. I know that we’re feeling the pain of contraction right now, but we were dumping buckets of money into ideas that were not vetted - it was like the late 90s.

So, like with autopilot for cars, I will believe it when I see it.
