Cause of death: the autopsy

Wikipedia's Colorado AI Act infobox was stale 4.5 months after the change, but volunteers maintain it and nobody pays.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The report left no way back.
