@arstechnica how is this any different than sitting in some rich personal private library never to be seen. If it gets sealed inside Zucks tropical super bunker will it benefit humanity more? This is rich people breaking two toys trying to put them together into something nobody else has. Normal people weren’t ever getting access to these.
