I definitely did immediately after seeing this. Being neither an academic nor representing a recognizable name brand company, I don’t know if I should have my hopes up too high for getting access soon, but I certainly hope so. I’d love to play around with this and push its limits for some creative hackathon-style side projects!

Just wanted to add: It’s amazing all the negativity in this discussion. Whatever happened to the creative tech community who loves to push boundaries? Isn’t that still part of the hacker ethos, isn’t this still hacker news? Just because a tool has the potential to be used for bad doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be excited to find new ways to use it for good.
