~4 billion years ago there was possibly a big refactor [1]; after the refactor the RNA machine got somewhat stable for the next 4+ billion years. There is no technology in our computer machines that will be able to withstand 4 billion years of external change. In fact, with all our clouds and AIs, we are closer to the caves than to that kind of technology. But it's great that the techno-giants of today with trillions in market cap and billions in R&D give us new drop-shadow effects: we need more riboswitch-like technology [2].
