Oligarchs would use the robots to kill people instead of a pandemic. A virus carries too much risk of affecting the original creators.

That's an extreme position to take that rests on the claim that sponsorship/advertising is objectively bad.

Media & journalism have been underpinned by advertising for over a century. Tons of educational and informative services are available to the public for free because of advertising. Sponsorship has built art galleries, hospital wings, research centers, etc.

In this case, there's a relatively innocuous logo on a robotic lander that is 230k miles away on a desolate rock. It's not like this is a billboard in a nature preserve.

It’s been serious expectation vs. reality disappointment for me and so I just pay the MidJourney or DALL-E fees.

It is the only book I wish I could forget completely.

Serious advice: think twice before reading The Road if you’re susceptible to doom and gloom about the human race.
