I love them so much I just wish they did the thing everyone online wished for: Benoit inexplicably having a different outrageous accent in each new instalment

I think I know what the thinking behind "nanobots will make everything free" is. This is BBC Science guy/Futurist James Burke on the You Are Not So Smart podcast years ago. youarenotsosmart.com/transcripts/...
The nanofabricator, making anything you wish from the molecular level up, atomic level up really, with raw material consisting mainly of dirt, air, and water, and a lot of carbon, which you get from acetylene gas. And of course, the minute you have a fab-or, you make your own acetylene gas, you just need the first bottle. McRaney: Like a home fabrication device? Burke: Yes, a home fabrication device. McRaney: They’re calling them 3D printers right now. Burke: The 3D printer is a different thing… McRaney: Ok Burke: Because a 3D printer uses material and shapes it, but you have to put the material in. This thing works at the atomic level; I mean there’s no such thing. You make the molecules you want in order to the molecules together to make stuff; once you’ve got the stuff then you shape it. McRaney: Like a Star Trek replicator. Burke: Exactly! Exactly, you say I want a cup of coffee you get a cup of coffee. I want a Mona Lisa, I want a bar of gold and whatever… And the general opinion is about 40-50 years from now – working to produce anything you want, and not costing anything, because the first thing a fabricator does, as I said in my talk, is make itself, make a copy of itself. So, the general thinking is a fabricator for everybody on the planet within two years of the first one. Because the first one makes another one, so it goes one, two, four, eight, sixteen, thirty… I mean, it takes no time at all, and you send out the information for structuring the thing by Wi-Fi or some online means, and of course, to build the thing is easy because the raw material is everywhere – dirt, air and water. So, it’s going to happen awfully fast and it’s going to happen much faster than we can deal with because we’re still looking backwards dealing with the business of handling scarcity. So, the book says, is there anything we’ve learned from handling scarcity that would help us handle abundance, and a…

Why is Apple so bad at promoting their shows? Severance is basically the first to break containment but they have tons of high end shows with top talent and no one knows about it. M Night Shaymalan did a show that ran 4 seasons and starred Rupert Grint and I can't talk about it to anyone!
