Who would have guess that another overpriced solution to a non existent problem that no one wants would have been a commercial failure ....

We are in a capitalist dystopia. We could be using AI to predict energy usage and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, or help in discovering new protein folds ... but no ... Timmy wants to look like a cool futuristic dude and he's willing to pay $600 to look cooler than his peers

Yeah their videos were what everyone wants but their actual product was way more clumsy and primitive. Technology isn't there yet for what these guys were trying to make.
