Damn shame some of the processes for exotic tech like this is so dangerous because it is beautiful.

It's not just beautiful; it looks downright futuristic on its own.
Cherenkov radiation is essentially radiation breaking the speed of light, so you're looking at faster than light particles*
*(within its medium, which is not a vacuum)
Plus, it just looks like some cheesy special effects on an 80s sci-fi movie, but it's actually real.

Footage of a human running in terror from a flying robot. This is just the very beginning...

I'd say the Switchblade drones the US is sending to Ukraine is the other curtain opening to that beginning.

I'd love to spend a night or two in a cyberpunk-style capsule hotel

In a truly dystopian turn of events, some recipients of bionic eye technology are going blind after their implants become obsolete and the company behind it stopped supporting them.
According to an alarming investigation by IEEE Spectrum, Second Sight Medical Products, the manufacturer of visual prosthetic devices that restored partial vision to blind patients, has provided eye implants to more than 350 blind people.
However, the investigation found, the company stopped supporting its technology a few years ago after coming close to bankruptcy — and left its patients to fend for themselves.
“It is fantastic technology and a lousy company,” Ross Doerr, a Second Sight patient, told the magazine.
