To the top with you! I see some opinions quoted, but yours is the right answer.

Ignoring the question about whether the cost is reasonable, it's going to be interesting to see what happens to gas stations / convenience stores when the ability to charge your car is basically everywhere.

The only reason we need gas stations is for the specialized infrastructure required to safely hold the fuel. Mass EV adoption is going to kill their business model.

It's funny how hard it is for providers to get this concept. I feel we're about to enter the cycle where we see an uptick in mainstream piracy because the price is starting to outweigh the convenience and legality.

The healthcare industry has as much incentive as the financial industry to maintain a high security environment. Fines for exposing PHI can be astronomical if a large number of records are compromised.

This is a new cold war that we've been in for a while now. Government backed hacker groups from foreign nations are constantly targeting high profile organizations. Healthcare, Finance, and Government are three of the top targets.

Agreed. The form factor is right. AR technology will only reach the possibility of mass adoption when it can fit in/on the existing eye-glasses form factor.

I'm struggling to think of any legitimate use cases that actually benefit society. I can only think of nefarious uses for this technology.

I know Hollywood is interested in it for maintaining the legacy of iconic voices in established IPs like James Earl Jones in Star Wars, but I don't think that benefits society overall. It is neat to potentially have his voice show up in future projects, but that feels like more of a gimmick to justify the technology rather than an actual need.

This is how I'm leaning too. If done appropriately this should be no different than "this is a reenactment of events" seen in 90s and 00s true crime shows.

The big challenge is getting the content creators to respect that template and not bury the disclosure in the credits.

Wouldn't be surprised if they used the 510k loophole.
