1. It's not hard to stick a bottle in the sand at the beach anyway, just twist as you press.
2. If it's not concave at the bottom, it doesn't need the ring of little ridges to sit on the shelf.
3. This would be very hard to store and transport, significantly increasing costs for a niche perceived customer benefit.

This bottle does not exist.

Yeah, spoilers don't quite work because he is always so out there! They took some little different thing and ran with that instead of the full crazy. I feel like Terry Gilliam would have made good PKD movies. He gets insanity.

My lovely 3 bedroom detached house cost 4x my salary.
People treated gay people like they treat trans people now, but it started getting better, not worse.
Most people blamed the government when it underinvested in public services instead of blaming immigrants.
Unmetered internet was something that happened to other people unless you were at a university.

You're lumping in other uses of AI with LLMs (chatGPT etc), which is how @pfried@reddthat.com contradicted you.

It's specifically the LLMs, which were trained with AI but are more like context-specific hyperplausible random text generators, and yes, are mass plagiarism projects currently being used as an excuse to fire a bunch of creative folk in multiple industries.

Other non-LLM AI uses tend to be more specifically problem-solving and narrowly useful.
