They did it to themselves. I'm sure we will read books about their failure and the replacement of Google search with chats and llms. The outcome is quite peculiar, because those chats are a blessing but should we really give them our data away. Scary what they will do with it. It was already scary enough with Google.
I am reading a book about it right now and as I learn more it seems too crazy and unbelievable to sustain (and im quite gullible person), especially part about living on full ocean in small boats with no food, water and heat, in extreme cold, still travelling those 100s of kilometers.

Seems like cool concept, basically it's just solar furnace with extra steps - to me it is a bit nonsense that it is placed in Germany because there are far better locations on a globe like Chile with 10 times more solar energy per m2.
I am glad, however, that the idea of solar furnace is still being explored. Yesterday I was wondering if such installation could be put on a large ship vessel which would solve problem of year season. Also with our knowledge about tornado formations the ship could be put in places with max solar input.
