And AI is the technology of the future, despite all the whinging and griping by commenters on the subject.

The entire discussion is to distract ourselves from the raw truth:

Fax machines are the technology of the future.

Fax machines will outlive us all. AI and VR will reach their heyday, then wane with years and be replaced. But whatever replaces them will sit quietly in the shadow of the everlasting Fax machine.

Don't forget that Mozilla even had a Metaverse instance, chasing the VR fad, only to turn around and chase the latest trendy subject.
