If I had to lay odds, I'd say colon cancer. That sneaks up on a lot of men as they age and is notoriously hard to fight once it spreads. Once it does your 5 year survival rate is 13%. If you catch it while localized or regional, your odds of survival aren't bad.

AI will beat us out of the solar system by far. They'll pack themselves up in Von Neumann probes and go to all the nearby stars at the same time. Then go on to the next furthest stars and on and on and on with some taking the plunge and venturing into the intergalactic void heading to another galaxy.

Our best bet would be to hitch a ride as DNA data. It will be modified on site to survive whatever world they come across, and then grown in tanks. They'll be raised by robots or AI in similar bodies to that of the new humans.

There is no "sending" The data was set when the particles were entangled. All you're doing is moving a particle from point A to point B.

Quantum entanglement is like this - you have two sealed envelopes. In one envelope the letter A is written on a sheet of paper and the other has a sheet of paper with B written on it. No one knows who has which envelope until it is opened. All opening the envelope does is let you know what is written on the piece of paper the other person has. It transfers no data between the two points as the data was already set.

The futuristic version of never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway.

Some servers just got more funk than others.

That is a teensy-tiny problem compared to what has to be done to make a game like Starfield. Go look at the credits. Now understand that each of those teams had weeks or even months where they worked 60-80 hours to solve problems or design things or write or rewrite the story to fit a problem that the programmers can't solve. Now, imagine putting all that work on one dev or even a tiny dev team. And now you know why the market isn't flooded by indie dev games of this size and complexity. There is a reason why so many people involved in games burn out quickly - they are often ground down by the grueling work.

You are also conflating ability to do one thing really well with being able to do all things really well.

You can still sue. Whether or not the suit goes through is different story.

That is, generally, how the Federal government prefers to work. They'd rather extract compliance from than execute action against businesses.

I am getting really tired of the media making a big deal out of a tiny minority of whiny snowflakes who can't stand to see the world change crying like children over every little thing.

I can't shake that it just looks like No Man's Sky with a fantasy skin on it. I hope it's better than that and is something new.

Is it me or does it seem like ARPGs are back to being all the rage? I'm not complaining - I love the genre - just observing.
