I'm surprised at the investment in an area that's likely to undergo major environmental challenges but it will be fascinating to see how this turns out. Superficially it looks like an American version of Neom. https://w

Could this enable embedded as metadata in audio files? Ie: could this be similar to what Spotify might use to fingerprint the music they distribute?
