Thank you so much for taking the time to give such a good explanation.

CEO sets vision, COO executes

Can you clarify what the efficiencies mean in practical terms ? Does it mean less fuel burn per unit thrust and less cost etc ? Why did they choose that technology ?

Cancer survivor here. This is simply not true. They start expensive and then become increasingly cheaper when subject to competition and economies of scale. It really is much cheaper in the long run to save your life than to have you die. Without the initial high price it is less likely that a lot of these avenues would be pursued and that is why the USA is always on the cutting edge of this sort of thing. It is not great in the short term but fantastic in the longer term

Thank you. That is a helpful answer. It feels like the progress in this space is increasing on many fronts and at an increasing pace as well. Which is great

That's a great explanation - thank you. Since you are appear very knowledgeable, care to speculate on what this increased knowledge might mean on a practical basis if anything ? Cancer survivor here - I take a keen interest in any developments.

That's already possible right now

Try dreamstudio. There is a small charge for generating images but it's negligible. Go to r/stablediffusion for guides and help

It feels like the most transformative tech in my lifetime. One minute is not there and then it suddenly appeared, destroying some livelihoods in the blink of an eye but releasing massive creativity for the average person. There must be more of these around the corner that are unanticipated too. The singularity must be close but it is different than envisioned. It is very hard to see how we create new jobs with anything like the speed we need to not have a massive change in society's structure. My daughter was looking at studying film in University in a few years time - but I doubt that will even be a thing by then.
