Because it has the least amount of competition currently. They stand to gain a lot. Next step is to use a drone or bot to drop off packages at the front door. It's a brilliant play as Amazon, UPS, FedEx etc. all want this ability.

I predict if it ever sees the light of day it will die a horrible death by being overpriced and underwhelming.
128gb, at 5k, 60fps using the Apple Watch battery . The battery will last all day long (18 hrs or so) if you don't do much more than ask for the time. Use the camera it could last 30-45 minutes but you'll run out of storage after about 7 minutes. Dare to stream and your battery will probably last 15 minutes.
Just one more thing.. for only $400 more you can get 256gb of storage (what a deal)

I would have expected these systems to have disabled the screenshot ability. At the very least the systems should mimic what DRM videos did 20 years ago and not be able to screenshot certain portions of the screen.

A great counter for why production hasn't increased (spoiler: because the manufactures got burnt before).

Submission + - Can we afford a space ambulance back to earth
sziring writes: Unless you live under a rock (or in a Moon crater) you are fully aware of the renewed space race. Who will be the first to establish a base on the Moon or Mars? Are we actually ready for such an undertaking both technically and morally? The fact that an astronaut needed to be shuttled back to earth early from the ISS is a telling sign we aren't ready to deal with medical emergencies in the near future. Yes, the Moon and Mars are important first steps to deeper exploration, to what ends I cannot answer. There are plenty of articles and videos out there of all the ways space can kill you. Even NASA has a more friendly article of the "dangers" space presents. We have all seen the articles about knowing that signing up for a Mars mission is a one way ticket, but do we really mean it? What about the Moon? Do we ferry every medical issue back to Earth? Are we ready to draw a line and inform them on Earth you would have survived but due to budget constraints it doesn't look like you will.

All of the would be tax subsidies, brakes and incentives should have to go into a separate pool of money. Used first to offset rising costs for the consumer.
Just a thought; an unrealistic one but it would be nice.

Submission + - should AI agents be classified as people (hbr.org) 1
sziring writes: Harvard Business Review's IdeaCast podcast interviewed CEO Bob Sternfels from McKinsey where he classified AI agents as people. "I often get asked, “How big is McKinsey? How many people do you employ?” I now update this almost every month, but my latest answer to you would be 60,000, but it’s 40,000 humans and 20,000 agents." This statement looks to be the opening shots of how we as a society need to classify AI agents and them possibly replacing human jobs. Did the agents take roles that previously would have been filled by a full-time human? By classifying them as people did the company break protocol or laws by not interviewing candidates for said job, not providing benefits or breaks, etc. Yes it all sounds silly but words matter. What happens when a job report comes out that claims we just added 20k in Q1, etc. Which leads to Bill Gates point of agents that take the role of humans might need to be taxed.

On a side note I saw Keanu Reeves was working on a fusion project back in 1996. Maybe that will be commercially available if Morgan Freeman doesn't keep getting in his way. It could be huge!
