Some people need an answer that’s easy and quick. That answer is also always wrong but by then they stopped thinking anyway and are hooked on easy and quick.

Reminds me of those FM transmitters to get phone audio in those old cars. You now also have Bluetooth to FM if the Bluetooth of the car itself is too crappy.
Usually politicians themselves and business associates are behind this. The tech to spy on people “to keep children safe” is basically the same as the one that can be used to find critics and climate, labor or political activists. Then they can put pressure on them or just arrest them on something else. It’s the dream tool for the more autocratic leaders and you just need a flunky to champion the cause for the children to make it happen.
Best comment ever was “It used to work like this but person at client demanded it work like that on this date” when the client complained it shouldn’t work like that.
Robots figuring out that without humans releasing gas their job is a lot more efficient could cause a few problems.
I’ll only call you doctor when you call me engineer. It’s a protected title too.
Not to mention the sun setting and rising, timezones, the sun being visible for six months from north and south pole, lunar and solar eclipses that can only be explained with pretzel like reasoning and so on.
Little dinosaurs
You have the mad max dystopia, the star trek utopia, and humanity is doomed to forever waddle in the middle between these two opposites. “Kinda sucks” indeed.
Hey, you can actually buy flying cars. They’re at least 10x as expensive as a regular car so not affordable to buy for anyone, need a pilot license and usually a short runway. In other words, flying cars turned out to be just as crappy as artificial intelligence.
The argument David Kipling made seems reasonable. Statistically the chance if there being almost no civilisations or the universe just teeming with life are the biggest. The parameters have to be tweaked just right for there being just a few civilizations in a galaxy. It’s not teeming with signals and chances of parameters being just right is low, so most probable is we being alone.
No officer, this is not a pirated movie. It’s generated by an AI model I created and trained with data from the internet and the fact that it’s 99% identical to an existing movie is irrelevant.
I know of one, PAL-V, that is a flying car that is street legal and can be ordered right now. It’s 500 grand and needs a pilot license. Those flying cars are not for the poor.
That’s Putin’s doing. His bluff was strong and he had a big pile of material, so the West is using a Russia technique known as the salami slice method, by slowly escalating and gauging the reaction from Putin. It means no world war 3 scenario, no allies that have to come to his defense and also not letting Putin taking whatever he wants with just bluff and threatening speeches. It is costly in lives and material though.
For even more fun, add in the children of Gaza wanting to escalate upward in the same way as Israel did and Iran becoming a nuclear power. If those two things ever combine things can get very ugly.
You don’t want to stop a war of your job and status depend on that war continuing
Usually people will work less hard to save some energy for that extra day of work they have to do.
Seems more general an issue with wealth distribution
The real offenders (except for some stupid rookies) move to the dark web and won’t touch the official apps while politicians use this power to scan for political and environmental activists, opponents and critics.
They just need someone to blame for their own sins. That’s the famous Christian morality.
