I just hope when (if) the hype is over, we can repurpose the capacities for something useful (e.g. drug discovery etc.)

Very cheap game consoles and VR headsets. Unironically that could really help world peace and QOL: less news and doomscrolling, and people would have an outlet for stress, anger, and boredom.

I've never seen a group more easily angered than gamers.

"What do you mean the women in this game have proportions roughly equivalent to what's actually possible in nature?!?!"

That's a subset of gamers, specifically gamers who actively want a hypersexualized characters and still haven't figured out how to ignore the irrelevant products and still chose to be angered if some product doesn't fit their requirements (despite no shortage of games that would fit the bill).
