Happy birthday. I turned 40 this week too. Yay us.
I want complete control of my technology after I buy it. I don’t want my phone to assume things that I like based on my input. If something goes wrong, I want it to be my fault because I enabled the wrong setting. I also want physical buttons. I miss those so much.
Japan has pretty strict gun control, don’t they?
…And now with even more people lining up for those jobs because others have been taken by automation. That and in order to make a living you need to do at least two jobs per household.
This doesn’t allow for any time or energy to skill up into anything else and forces a positive feedback loop in keeping people in this bracket.
Edit: I’ve just read through some of your other comments and I want to say something about post scarcity. We can definitely approximate what will happen in the distant future by looking at current and past trends. Human nature is the constant.
We can look at how many unskilled jobs are created as a result of automation. From what I can see, the number of unskilled jobs created from automation is in the negative, meaning that less unskilled jobs are created from automation.
What systems are put in place for those without jobs? The trend is abandonment or exploitation. We’re currently in a glut of job seekers far exceeding jobs available both in skilled and unskilled areas.
But I digress… This was originally about an automated lawnmower being mildly interesting, which it is.
But there’s no UBI to allow the person without a job to skil upl into something else that a robot can’t do.
Replace all roads with free mass transit. That should work.
That’s right! They’re better off spending it on lobbying so they end up getting more money!
Not a good idea to put all your eggs into one basket when running a business, mate. You always run multiple projects, and it doesn’t have to be games, to continue the cashflow.
It depends on whether the game was designed with shareholders in mind or the player. Most AAA games are designed with profit in mind rather than what’s fun. For example, buying skins and doing the same thing on repeat is not fun. Roleplaying as Starship troopers with your friends is fun.
To The Moon; Once you go through the experience of the story, there’s really no need to replay again.
I wear a capelet in winter and it doesn’t work well with my backpack. I suppose I could design a front wearing pack to carry my laptop.
Very interesting. What browser are you using?
I should add that this is for PC only. Mobile browsers not supported, unfortunately.
Oh dear 😅 please let me know what level you reach when you do eventually try! My max is level 3. Might need some minor tweaks.
They also provide apartments to live in permanently for those displaced in the development.
Meanwhile, the US has not built high speed rail and has tent cities.
In the case of national infrastructure, China wins hands down.
Although it’s kind of ridiculous to compare California with an entire country…
Private health insurance.
Banks.
