That is fascinating stuff, using a resin that gets dissolved away but the heating process eliminates the gaps left by the resin. I wonder if this process could be done cheaply enough for small knife makers to have blades made in small runs.

The scientist in me is amazed but the knifemaking artist in me feels uncomfortable.

Skeptical

They made a 13 minute video but it never showed the thing actually doing anything.

A knife is a knife for most people. Depends on the price and if you want the magpul logo on it. How they make it is irrelevant to most people also. They're trying to hype up something that just needs their logo on it to sell.

Would you go to a concert made by an AI symphony?

Do you even know what's going on in the world of AI?

Doesn't sound like it.

1. Yes
2. You are mistaken
3. The link doesn't work.

The link worked perfectly after your whiny post.

If you can't figure something out like a simple URL, then any opinions you have on AI should be kept to yourself -- to avoid further embarrassment.

I know how links work, it just didn't work on the computer I clicked it on at the time I clicked it on.

Do you need to be a douche bag about everything? I hope you aren't like this in person, starting random pointless arguments with everyone you meet.  I asked a simple question of whether Ren would want to see an AI symphony and you rode in on your smug horse suggesting I don't know anything about AI. Your insinuation was baseless. It seems you are unaware about the ethical question of AI created art.

Would you care to revise your statement, or do you stand by the lie that it was the link, and not something else, that "doesn't work?"

You really want to nitpick for the win? Ok, it works now, but it didn't work at the time I clicked it. Maybe the website was down at that time. Happy? Still irrelevant though.

You said it didn't work.  Now you say it works.  How is pointing out your error "nit picking?"

Both can't be true.  Maybe next time change your declarative statement to a more qualified one, like, "Are you sure the link is good?  I had a problem with it," rather than stating it doesn't work.

You really can't handle being wrong, can you?  I would think you'd be very used to it by now.   :geekdanc:
