Founding an artificialintelligence startup may look tempting, but most fail. Getting an advanced degree and slogging it out as a corporate lawyer or financier was once a reliable path to wealth, but now looks threatened by AI.

And for what purpose？Not even the leaders who started recent wars can be pleased with the results.Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has become a humiliating quagmire for Vladimir Putin. President Donald T’s war on Iran has gone badly awry. These two wars of choice exemplify two new battlefield truths. Technology has made it harder for any army to advance on the ground.
