This reminds me of the free-banking era. I believe half of the currencies failed within five years, and none survived twenty.

It would be a smarter move for most of these young men to produce a useful product instead of trying to get rich by pecuniary rentierism, but "get rich quick" scams seem popular now.

I thought this was talking about Konninggratz, since Germany did not exist until 1870.
> An AI wins at something that is specifically designed to be the type of thing that's easy for AI.

Most games like Go and Chess are made to be hard for the human mind to win, since that's challenging. As someone who works in AI, all of this is hype, we aren't even close to understanding how to make a real AI

>Are the stars in our night sky part of our galaxy or no

Every star you see in the night sky with the naked eye is part of our galaxy.

>for instance a galaxy with two stars would be called a Binary System.

A galaxy usually has billions or trillion of stars. Our solar system has one star, which is our sun ( a sun is a star with planets around it). Our solar system is inside of a galaxy, which is made up of billions and billions of stars.

>So where are the stars in our night sky? Are they even further away than Uranus, Neptune.., but so bright we see them anyway?

All stars are outside of our solar system by definition. They are light-years away ( the time it takes to get there at the speed of light is years), but most planets are light-minutes away.
