Interesting point. Reminds me of how Tale of Two Cities started out as monthly installments before they were eventually bundled into a single book.

Just like we all ran out and bought 3D TVs. Right? And Meta smart glasses. Any day now!

Did AI make these slides?

How about we stop naming things after people altogether? It always seems to backfire and/or create division.
