Have you ever looked at a dollar bill in your life.
Who do you think printed it. Who signed the bill?
The US can just print money and receive goods in exchange of literal paper. Or just put an extra zero in a bank account and receive goods in exchange.
And if a certain yahoo decides they want in the money printing scheme...who do you think is going to send the goons with guns to prevent the government monopoly in creating literal wealth.
Until recently, no private company wanted to go to the Moon.
And it is particularly ironic to select that since the government’s attempt to return is the most expensive, slowest, least tested launch system possible, and still needs help to get to the Moon.
Conservatives discovered a cheat code to get: (a) people to have to identify on the computer everywhere and (b) control what they can do with and without this identification.
This whole thing is the problem. AngularJS was released in 2010. If in 2010 I'd know that the damn thing would die in 2021, and that I would have to rewrite it all by that date, I would not have used the damn thing in the first place.
I also at some point inherited an app written in Vue 2. By the time I got it, Vue 3 was already out and a couple of years later, Vue 4, completely different to Vue 2, was out. Rewriting was not an option, so I had to create a docker image that can compile the damn thing offline, cause if some part of the supply chain breaks, well, that's it.
Ten or eleven years is not a super long time in enterprise software. Having to keep upgrading and changing libraries just cause the devs of the libraries get bored should not be a thing.
This is why I struggled and struggled to omit JS at all costs on a greenfield project - many apps from even 5 years ago by now fired teams fail to build with cryptic npm messages. And if you get past that you have to deal with webpack or some such junk. We settled with go fyne which compiles to wasm to handle both local and remotely accessible use cases. Trade off is not as much freedom and a fixed feature set but I know it's gonna work after 5 godamn years.

Was it obvious back then? I had to work on an AngularJS site for a while and it was the most confusing thing ever. Having come from React I couldn't understand the complexity but maybe it was still better than callback hell in jQuery?
A problem I found was that getting at a local bus station at London, showed all their destinations as London, but without any precise place of where I would arrive. At one point I traveled from one part of London, to Bash, a completely different city, back to another part of London.
Well yes, but the coincidence that Quarks have charges of multiples of another particle, that is not made up of quarks, should rise your brow, shouldn't it?
Like we could accept coincidences if at the bottom is all turtles, but here we see a stack of turtles and a stack of crocodiles and we are asking why they have similar characteristics even if they are so different.
I've thought about this same idea but it probably gets very complicated.
Let's say, you simulate a long museum hallway with some vases in it. Who holds what? The basic game engine has the geometry, but once the player pushes it and moves it, it needs to inform the engine it did, and then to draw the next frame, read from the engine first, update the position in the video feed, then again feed it back to the engine.
What happens if the state diverges. Who wins? If the AI wins then...why have the engine at all?
It is possible but then who controls physics. The engine? or the AI? The AI could have a different understanding of the details of the base. What happens if the vase has water inside? who simulates that? what happens if the AI decides to break the vase? who simulates the AI.
I don't doubt that some sort of scratchpad to keep track of stuff in game would be useful, but I suspect the researchers are expecting the AI to keep track of everything in its own "head" cause that's the most flexible solution.
Then maybe the engine should be less about really simulating the 3D world and just trying best to preserve consistency, more about providing memory and saving context for consistency than truly simulating a lot besides higher level concerns (at which point we might wonder if it couldn't be directly part of the model somehow), but writing those lines I realize there would probably still be many edge cases exactly like what you are describing...
