Feels like it could have been stood up in the 50s along a "tube vertical at rest/vacuum" and "tube horizontal at rest/atmosphere" split, and, that moment having passed, as you say, wait on developments.

Pinball brain here... LLMs and imaging equivalents, since IIRC their contention is that all "training" material contributes to the slop, should be liable *for* their entire earnings *to* every single creator they've swiped material from, regardless of volume. Bigger thieves than any torrent-pirate.

Also from the outside, the fact state government structures are, other than IIRC some being uni- and some being bicameral, more or less the same, has always been surprising.

Registering your party affiliation with The Government is not what I'd expect from The Freedom Country.
It feels like there *should* be a dozen fractious parties with wildly different, internally managed, approaches to candidates and membership.
