Though it was just a concept yesterday, today it got released (and pulled!) but we did get to see it. Was also interesting to see reactions from people outside of tech.


This caption for a picture gave me an unintended reaction:

It's a picture on Instagram--the difference is practical effects vs CGI. (It can be interpreted as satire.)
