Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica

And the expense reports are a must

That's such a cool concept. Living art!

Ayyyy-oli

I work nights with 2 other guys. One of them is cool and seems to be a bit introverted, but we're both into sports so we'll watch games the first few hours and chat intermittently. The other guy openly hates sports, but loves "shooting the shit", which he understands to mean him going on a fringe political rant or into way too much detail over some random shit he saw on YouTube.. Luckily work gave us headsets with ANC, so me and the cool guy just headset up once the games are over and live in silence on the slow nights

The thing is china is great at reverse engineering things, but not great at manufacturing things to the spec needed at this precision. There's literally one company on earth that supplies optics manufactured at this level of precision (Zeiss), who have spent decades to get where they are. Even if China has the design technology, they would still be far behind in the manufacturing if they're trying to make their own optics.

It's just not something you can do in your garage these days (or for the past few decades), even if the designs were open sourced. I like your idea and wish there was less concentrated power in chip manufacturing, I just don't think it's very feasible.

I feel like there's very few people who could design and build their own brain implant chip. Even in the far future

How can you tell?
