Maybe superficially. But if AI is actually the next Atomic Bomb Project, nothing will stop the progress. The next card to be played will be National Defense.

Random thought:
Can AI possess the ability to create?
And by "create", I mean to come up with a new, original way of writing, design, building, etc.
I do know that AI is only as good as the people who created the knowledge base to draw on, being dictated by the the people who put the initial input of data. So, if AI has no emotion side or lacks a set of values, would these lacking human traits limit the degree of creativity?
I don't believe I've come across this human aspect of thinking...least until AI can do so...then, some have shared...we are in big trouble!

It's mostly impossible to become an indistinguishable blade of grass. You and I have 100 identifiers we drag everywhere we go. There is no anonymity possible in this world.
That's the whole point. The military will want first dibs on electricity, and under the current geopolitical situation, they will get what they want. This will create scarcity, and prices will skyrocket to the point where, for most EV owners, environmental concern matters less than cost, making them attractive only to the wealthy craving money-no-object performance. But these are few, and an EV-only automaker like Tesla will have it rough unless it at least offers hybrids, if not outright gasoline-only powertrains, which won't happen.
SEC... once.

STUPID STUFF THAT PREVENTS WEALTH ACCUMULATION
1. DAILY COFFEE RUNS
2. CONVENIENCE PURCHASES E.G. TAKEOUT & BOUGHT LUNCHES
3. CLOTHING YOU NEVER WEAR
4. LIFESTYLE INFLATION THAT OUTPACES YOUR INCOME
5. PURCHASING ANYTHING WITHOUT ASKING "DO I NEED THIS?"
THERE ARE MANY OTHER FACTORS BUT I'LL STOP HERE.

Sooner one learns that the better, in all things and ways.
I saw a meme that had something like... Gen Z complaining about not being able to buy a house, but spending $40 on Uber to deliver a burrito.

Could tubes, styli, albums, album cleaners, amplifiers, speakers, speaker wires, capacitors, Dacs be added to the list? Asking for a friend.
Yup. Especially if it’s the third, fourth, or tenth spare of each.
I decided many years ago not to pursue accumulation of the almighty dollar. Not that I'm lacking just have/need little cash on hand. Home car and motorcycles paid for. No wife kids or others needing my help. Not for everyone but it's working for me. I have a place to lay my head food to eat and even a few toys to play with. I'm content.
