When you bought the $50,000 Tesla Model Y to save on gas & maintenance. Then you learned: - It loses 20-35% of its value by year 3 - It loses 55-58% of its value by year 5 So by year 5 you lost $35,000+ of value? ....Congrats on saving ~$1,000/yr on gas.

NATO is testing live cockroaches as AI-powered spy drones. Incredible AI engineering, but also something I kinda wish I hadn't learned about: > Swarm Bio-tactics wired real cockroaches with electronic backpacks containing AI hardware, radios, cameras, and microphones. > Cockroaches are steered by sending electrical signals directly into the insect's nervous system > They can crawl through rubble, tunnels, and spaces where drones can't fly, and troops shouldn't go, transmitting data back the entire time. > Within one year, they went from concept to field-validated systems with paying NATO customers, including the German military. The qualities that make them useful for military recon (small, silent, nearly undetectable) are exactly what make them creepy. ...International laws weren't written with cyborg insects in mind.
