Birth rates are plummeting everywhere. I'm with you. We can have fewer people on earth. But, that means 2-ish generations will have to do 2x-the-work per capita while receiving 0.5x the care when they retire. Our social welfare and eco

It's a bad look because the idea and technology were there and the execution is low cost. Presumably, American universities wanted to 'protect' their information from others, maintaining exclusivity and gating off knowledge.
