And why aren't we replacing CEOs with AI, which can hallucinate and lie just as effectively?

I am reminded of the company in the World Trade Center that had off-site backups. Which they kept in the other tower.

Even worse, Texas has three main population centers, 200+ miles away from each other, with a lot of suburb cities in the DFW and Houston areas, that nobody outside that local area has ever heard of. Then the alerts get posted with the name of the individual city, and are broadcast statewide. Just where the fuck is "Cypress Hills" anyhow?

But Paul is dead.

In other words, "you're holding it wrong"?

What happened? Necromancy? I haven't heard of it in like 20 years.

They're throwing shit at us because they're bored and their AI is so inbred after several generations of consuming its ancestors' slop that it hallucinates frequently and so the asteroids miss Earth.

$50 is a bit large. I start with a $200 or so in twenties, and as I need to use cash from time to time, I'll preferentially break the 20s and keep mostly 10s and 5s. I will also try use up my ones if I have much more than ten of them, or if they make change easier. I also keep a coin pouch along with the cash. My most important objective is in the rare case of eating out, I can have appropriately small cash for tips and for when the server isn't able to break the tab among multiple people.

With their performance on Ariane 6, I have serious doubts that they can do that in five years.

But you're okay with breaking news about the latest Pac Man clone games?

It's like they've reached the part of game theory where they don't expect anyone to return, therefore they play the "final move" to screw the opponent. They've gone so far from trying to attract customers that they've forgotten it's even possible for a customer to ever return again, much less that they might want to. So they're basically just down to strip-mining their customer base for a few more pennies of profit.

Yeah, it's time for CEOs and middle management to be replaced with AI. Nobody would notice the difference, they already lie and hallucinate like bad managers.

They rejected the concept of reusable rockets years ago when Falcon 9 was starting to eat everyone's lunch. Actually they didn't just reject it, they ridiculed it, saying that then they would have to fire all their rocket builders, think of all the poor unemployed rocket builders! You know, the ones who haven't been building too many rockets the past few years because Ariane 6 was fucking years late. And it's still expendable.

I think you just described humans. WE are the danger to this world, and provide no value to it :)

No one eats viruses but quite a lot of species depend on mosquitoes to survive, or eat the mosquito-eaters to survive.
You don't have to kill any mosquitoes, just replace them with a genetically modified version that is resistant to parasites?

Quite a lot of animals feed on insects, and then some carnivores might feed on them.
If you overfish sardines, anything bigger than a sardine may also suffer a population decline, as it is a staple food for lots of yummy fish and also marine mammals..
