No, I mean borderline personality disorder, bipolar I don't think it goes away with age or therapy.

That's very interesting! I remember a while ago I read about a room temperature superconductor... but it required enormous pressures.

Do you mean superconductors create super capacitors, or how do you want to trap the charge? Or store in coils, as "magnetic energy"(forgot the name for it)

But do we know if the amount of temperature drop is reasonable enough for a mass loss, or it's too great and automatically implies supernova?

Do you HAVE to tackle it? Is it your idea, to tackle it or is someone else pushing for the problem to be fixed? Is there anyone who knows for sure if it can be done or not? Does it sound reasonable, within the known laws of physics/eng

Yes, I suspect the AI finds all answers just as easy/hard. Whereas for humans certain programming tasks are orders of magnitude harder than others.

I also expect a high moat, especially regarding training data. But the counter for the high moat would be the atomic bomb -- the soviets were able to build it for a fraction of what it cost the US because the hard parts were leaked to them.
