It's hardly just cars. They have similar lifespans in areas that aren't so car-centric.
They get parasites. They get into fights with animals in their weight class (like racoons). They get trapped by animals outside their weight class (like wolves). Tons of issues in the wild.
My uncle has a farm with a bunch of feral cats around. I learned at a young age to never get too attached to outdoor farm cats.
That it's all cloud based. None of it is stored locally.
Remember what I said about security around documents? Part of that is that docs are never on local machines. Yes, there are other issues with cloud storage, but nobody gets fired for doing it.
Uhh, no. There are collaborative tools in Office that are used by the sorts of people who don't know what LibreOffice is. There's also certain internal policies that tend to classify information in ways that work with Office.
Nope, it is. There is no reason anyone should trust the USD as a reserve currency. Even if Trump is impeached, Vance is impeached, and everyone down the line of succession is impeached until you get someone who isn't MAGA, it's still too late. It'd just be highlighting how unstable the US political system has become. Nobody wants to keep their reserve money in a system like that.
The major thing that killed 1960s/70s AI was the Vietnam War. MIT's CSAIL was funded heavily by DARPA. When public opinion turned against Vietnam and Congress started shutting off funding, DARPA wasn't putting money into CSAIL anymore. Congress didn't create an alternative funding path, so the whole thing dried up.
That lab basically created computing as we know it today. It bore fruit, and many companies owe their success to it. There were plenty of promising lines of research still going on.
The issue this time around is infrastructure. The current AI Summer depends on massive datacenters with equally massive electrical needs. If companies can't monetize that enough, they'll pull the plug and none of this will be available to general public anymore.
This system can go backwards. Yes, the R&D will still be there after the AI Winter cycle hits, but none of the infrastructure.
Make it clear to the Democratic Party establishment that progressive candidates will be on the ballot in every congressional district in Nov 2026, and they will be a spoiler candidate if they have to be. Either way, we are done with their shit. There will never be a better time.
OP is about NFTs failing due to an Instagram account being hacked. No, it is very much not perfect.
The fact that banks aren't running off with people's life savings is empirical evidence that the system works. They might try to find legal loopholes, like reordering transactions to make overdraft fees come out higher, but they are strongly incentivized to never fuck with the audit system. This stuff gets written down.
