Fallen From Grace pt5 – Profitable Doom

When I was younger I enjoyed a computer game where different factions would war with each other for control of a world full of a valuable commodity. It was a strategy game, where the primary object was to always collect this commodity because it was used as money, so if you ran out of it you were broke, your armies would fail, and you’d lose. I never understood why the factories would refuse to build more weapons when the computer’s team was winning. Just because I ran out of money? Don’t they know that if I can’t fend off the opponent, they’ll all die? It seemed like a basic failure of common sense to be thinking about dollars when your life is on the line. Fast forward to today’s A.I. Update – are we doing that very thing in 2023? Thanks for ending the week with us on today’s show, called “Profitable Doom.”
