I'd understand if the ads were subsidizing the purchase price significantly, but this still seems to be in line with their highest pricing.

A bit more technical but the absolute best book on quantum computing is "Quantum Computation and Quantum Information" by Nielsen and Chuang. It’s also a pretty good introduction on quantum mechanics in general.
Thank you!

For LLMs, the input is text, and the output is text. By the time of GPT-2, the internet contained enough training data to make training an interesting LLM feasible (as judged by its ability to output convincing text).
We are nowhere near the same for autonomous robots, and it's not even funny. To continue to use the internet as an analogy for LLMs, we are pre-DARPANET, pre-ASCII, pre-transistor. We don't even have the sensors that would make safe household humanoid robots possible. Any theater from robot companies about trying to train a neural net based on motion capture is laughably foolish. At the current rate of progress, we are more than decades away.
Does your estimate account for advancements in virtual simulation models that has simultaneously been happening? From people I speak to in the space (which I am very much not in) - they had mentioned these advancements have dramatically improved the rate of training and learning - though they also advised we're some ways off from showtime.

I can see the clear benefits of smart glasses, but can't imagine owning them myself (until there's a local only version). It feels like it will be a social faux pas as well, as I can't imagine being comfortable in a social setting around smart glasses wearers knowing they could be recording anything I'm saying/doing.
I may be the luddite here and I'm sure if they get enough adoption it will eventually be commonplace, but at the moment I'm struggling with this.
