Transportation is like farming and yielding ownership of critical industries gives foreign adversaries too much leverage.

I’m with you though. If humans could just get along we could build an amazing world.

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

Fortunately, robotic capability like that basically becomes the equivalent of Nuclear MAD.

Unfortunately, the virus approach probably looks fantastic to extremist bad actors with visions of an afterlife.

Do you actually need to simulate at that minuscule level of detail?

Or is it possible for a system to be built that can approximate biology similar to how LLMs approximate cognition without true understanding and reasoning?

This is not preprogrammed replay. Replay would not be able handle even tiny variations in the starting positions of the shirt.

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.
