Six months from now: "damn, we're way behind Meta on AI. We should have spent billions six months ago, it's going to cost way more to catch up."

Meta is the source of most of the open source LLM AI scene. They're contributing tons to the field and I wish them well at it.
I feel like a pretty big winner too. Meta has been quite generous with releasing AI-related code and models under open licenses, I wouldn't be running LLMs locally on my computer without the stuff they've been putting out. And I didn't have to pay a penny to them for it.
It was a very Kerbal landing technique they were attempting, got to respect them for attempting new things even when it's their first try at a lander.
Last I heard, speculation was that the solar panels were pointing to the west and so it might "wake up" again later in the Lunar day when the Sun gets past zenith. They landed in Lunar morning to maximize the usable duration of sunlight, so right now the panels would be pointed directly away from it.
To be fair, NASA flubbed plenty of Moon landers too.
I only use my Roku streaming stick for Youtube and Plex. Should be easy enough to replace with a mini-PC or equivalent, if it really becomes bad enough.
Those sorts of things exist on Ethereum too. There are also "mixers", like Tornado Cash, that can anonymize a particular transaction using a normally non-anonymized token. The Ethereum philosophy is to provide a broad range of tools that can interoperate with each other, allowing people to use whichever ones suit their specific need.
If you're using the anonymized tokens then your transactions are private by default.
Anonymization requires a bunch of computational overhead which means that anonymized transactions cost more to execute, all else being equal. So a blockchain where you can choose whether you're using anonymization or not depending on your particular needs is better than one where it's forced on every transaction.
Bear in mind, Ethereum is a platform. It has many different tokens with different properties running on that platform, some of which are as anonymous as Monero. Use the ones with the properties you need.
Ethereum supports anonymized tokens and rollups too, if you choose to use them.
There are places you can exchange crypto that exist outside of KYC requirements.
Which will be solved by them spending it.
