One day at at time. That’s all any of us have. The future isn’t looking so rosy right now (what’s the number up to, kids?). Will there even be one, give the HB’s continued march to extinction? No. 1, we have this pressing potential nuclear situation, 2) HBs don’t currently populate enough to continue their own species, and 3) the unknown ramifications of developing AI technology. HBs throughout history, use their “discoveries” to their own demise. Painting your face with lead, smoking cigarettes, eating and introducing GMOs into the food chain, PFAS and plastics from manufacturing, all are examples of things HBs promote for dollars, without understanding what they were really dealing with and how it would impact them and society. And some greedy bastards DO know how bad their products are. but still put them out there anyway. What does that tell you? (♬ The ants going marching one by one… ♬)

Now,

Scientists on Wednesday described how pieces of pure platinum and copper spontaneously healed cracks caused by metal fatigue during nanoscale experiments that had been designed to study how such cracks form and spread in metal placed under stress. They expressed optimism that this ability can be engineered into metals to create self-healing machines and structures in the relatively near future.

On the positive, this may help HBs develop their technology for deep space exploration; but, on the negative, the implications for use on weapons of war is just terrifying.
