        Stealing VCRs are a gateway drug to becoming an enemy to multiple countries and driving in space.

    Cyberpunk Lore predicted much. Stealing hardware from a vehicle convoy was definitely a mission.

    Turns out the most profitable AI business model is stealing the hardware before anyone can spend billions teaching it to hallucinate. Wall Street calls that an asset light strategy. Nvidia calls it demand. The thieves call it same day delivery.

    You have to steal the hardware IRL before you can play the game on it.

    So they get paid selling the “stolen” hardware and insurance fraud on top of it. And still nobody does anything.
