Yes, but all in service of what amounts to automated stealing (cough) supplying liquidity.
Better than adtech, anyway. Or nukes. Lots of things, really. (I would have said weapons, last year.)
The only really defensible tech activity these days is things to help get off carbon-emitting processes. Making factories to make electrolysers. Making wind turbines better. Adapting airliners to carry liquid hydrogen in underwing nacelles. Making robots to put up solar fences on farms and pastures. Banking energy for nighttime without lithium. Making ammonia on tropical solar farms for export to high latitudes.
It's even money whether we can get it done before civilization collapses. I guess we will need plenty of liquidity...
