I agree, the website doesn't explain much. I found a blog post about the new features though: https://passage.ai/introducing-teslabot-v-2-0-a-passage-ai-c...

I completely agree with your point! It's so important for all of us to change our lifestyles, but nobody wants to trade in convenience for long-sightedness if they have the choice.

What makes me more angry than anything else are the obviously evitable things like the sprinkle pool in San Francisco's Museum of ice cream. This kind of pollution could so easily be avoided without making huge changes to our lifestyle: https://www.sfgate.com/local/article/San-Francisco-Museum-of...

I totally agree with your point that the Notre Dame fire is unfortunate, but that we have to accept it as the Cathedral's history.

However, I think that from an architectural and art historical perspective, we can do more than just reconstruct the Cathedral exactly the way it was. Art and architecture always change with their cultural and historical context, and I think it's one of human kinds biggest strengths to create something new out of old or destroyed artwork.

A great example is the Cologne Cathedral Window, which the German contemporary painter Gerhard Richter designed in 2007, long after the window had been destroyed in World War II: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2008/05/12/many-colored-g...
