Not gutted. Captured.

I’m curious to see how the cops found out who’s they were to arrest them

You’re just being anal about phrasing. “in a reasonable amount of time” or “before this bubble bursts” are clearly implied

inevitably can be 100 years from now, or 1000 years from now when we setup a dyson sphere. Inevitably is too vague.

I think you have entirely too much faith in corporate executives.

This is really funny to me because Google ruined their own search engine for advertising purposes; so much so that they now need to add “AI” to it to look good and hip again. Only if the “AI” results are actually good, it will hurt their advertising revenue, and it’s not quite so simple to tweak it the same way they cooked their search algorithms to serve you more ads, plus it will burn an ungodly amount of money to process each request. And if it’s bad, they’ll have wasted billions on it and will ruin their reputation even worse.
