It's been in the works for over ten years. Here is a paper on research into it from 2014.

Here's another one from 2010.

And another from 2008.

    At this point it's a race between teeth, fusion and GTA 6. Place your bets, people.

    I bet GTA 6, if only because those investors are going to be more bloodthirsty about it coming out eventually.

    Teeth and fusion need approval to be safe from the...government...

    I withdraw my bet.

    GTA6 is far more achievable. Like it doesn't even matter what they release, that would qualify. To get this out of the lab, it would have to actually work.

    And fusion really isn't happening for decades.
