I think it would be bad for the economy, particularly if everyone had access to it, therefore i suspect if it actually would pan out, some researchers would disappear and the world would never see this released, or it would be made inaccessible to most people somehow (probably money). I’m pessimistic, but of course i also hope we do see something like that in our lifetimes.
Doesn’t matter where the tipping points are, humanity will dance straight past them, then do a little spin to flip them the bird as we moonwalk the rest of the way into oblivion.
