Totally agreed. He has a blog detailing the progress, but it has not mentioned it yet. And then there is the github, but I am shocked that major tech media sidestepped the potential inclusion of AI.
Would this be called gang fights if it were in a predominantly white country or is this just a embroiled civil war? Both are bad for civilians, one has external racial connotations.
Some of their technology is vastly ahead of ours, other technologies are way behind. The behind stuff is far more interesting. Comms in Star Wars is weird and anachronistic with other tech in the show. Getting clear signals for comms seems nearly impossible.
I also get a giggle out of tech used in the show only to drive plot: like how protagonists can scan ships for life forms but protagonists also only power down ships to evade the eye of a passing baddy ship.
Even weirder to not be rich right now. Fuck them. They should feel it, greedy pigs.
