@arstechnica it doesn’t need work it needs a fundamental rethink of whether the technology makes sense outside of specific research or narrow use cases.

It should never have made it out of research labs or opt-in curiosities for technologists.

None of these details are interesting and almost aren’t even worth reporting on.

This is a stupid, stupid bubble and saying they need to work on parts of it is like saying we’re close but just need refinement which is concretely untrue.
