Yeah in this video about filaments he describes it as a viable alternative to steel but... $700/kg, 400C print temp, 140C heated print chamber and it's not even the worst, apparently that's TPI/Kapton

To clarify my own statement. I mean not going to yield results proportional to the amount put into them. You can double the investment and not get double the return. I think this is reflected in the wacky P/E ratios we see in the market for AI related stocks.

The massive amount of capital put into AI is not going to yield results. There will be mostly losers and only a few winners. This is assuming AI sticks around and is the paradigm shift that many people believe it will be.

If it's entirely fake, just a bunch of nonsense that people wasted money on, then it will pop quickly. But if it's somewhat real, like the dot-com boom. We'll see society transformed, and a lot of failed businesses, some of them very stupid, scattered along the information superhighway.

If this is a bubble like the housing bubble. Well, remember that even though a lot of people were underwater on their mortgage. Those homes never went to zero. It was worth something to someone, but there were a lot of people who lost everything in the exchange. And a handful of people who profited a great deal.

So expect that GDP will go up, even when the AI bubble pops. And that the middle class retirement accounts are going to be absorbing most of the hit. Because someone else, probably someone very rich, is going to still come out ahead. They almost always do.

Your lack of perception is irrelevant.

And now we see what it stems from, a total lack of logic. Run along now.

Again, people with no experience maybe.

Our nation is at risk during a prolong conflict or embargo as long as we remain dependent on foreign oil. Reducing the amount we use is the most obvious path out, this allows our own reserves to stretch much further.

But MAGA is not ran by smart people. Evil people sure, but not ever evil villain is an evil genius, some are just thugs.

There will be a correction. There is ALWAYS a correction.

Complaining is communism and therefor treason.

It was part of the ARP but since it was popular and had good results it was put back on vote and Republicans voted it down

But my sleep apnea!

What you said was dumb because what we need is to reduce emissions further than our weak targets. Also automakers do NOT have any trouble meeting the targets. They could have met those targets years ago, but they would have had to make less exciting vehicles. You're putting your excitement over sustainability. This explains why you support a child molester's tampering with the future.

You cannot make a market freer by removing all regulations. That's a total misunderstanding of how markets work.

"R&D is a sunk cost, especially if it was subsidized. Nobody's going to try to recoup it"

(etc.)

That's all true if your goal is to serve customers, as opposed to spying on them.

But I'd really love to know how exactly how many of these things were sold? A dozen? 500? Thousands? Feels like there is an econ or finance study about consumer behavior buried in the customer base of such an item.

Mainly just folks with disposable incomes who like tech? Someone with cancer risk really convinced this will work? The most expensive Spencers gag gift? "I could look it up myself but I don't want to have to look at my own poop?"
