For what it's worth, a lot builders in the web3 space are also skeptical of Yuga Labs' valuation and strategy, including myself. I think this is a pretty good, simple to understand argument for why a metaverse with such an "e

That's exactly what the article says, not speculation... The human was able to apply the brakes in time because it recognized the jogger was moving before the vehicle did.

by carlosdp 4y ago
In the incident in question, it sounds like the vehicle classified the object as "stationary," before realizing it was a moving person. So the jogger was probably not in the way of the vehicle initially, and by the time it realize

Yea not debating that, nor that it wouldn't lose it's peg if things get unstable enough. Just that the title makes it look like it's in a death spiral like TerraUSD, which there doesn't seem to be indication of right now
