> This is the first inning
I think this is the key part.
How is a very off putting start a good thing?
The videos in question would’ve been considered science fiction a mere 5 years ago, so I definitely don’t consider them a very off putting start.
That doesn’t mean that I think they’re perfect or that the technology will keep improving at a fast pace (nobody knows for sure).
Yeah it's very hard to do and once it's done it's very off putting. And this is not about first results, this has been on the works for years and after hundreds of billions of dollars of investment it is very off putting. We're not at the concept phase, we're at the top of the logistic curve and the whole shtick is arguing that we're at the bottom.
But this could be a strange form of baseball that only has two innings. No one knows for sure either way.
