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.
Same with water usage. Everybody has to reduce water, not wash cars while industry and agriculture who use like ¾ of the water don’t do anything
In the past, son. That’s prices from just after the dot com boom. Where I live now, they don’t really do delivery.
€15.99 for three pizza with free delivery and a €3 discount for picking it up yourself. It’s s weird way to say €12.99 and €3 for delivery

Oh, it’s now tied into Xbox Live so you need an Xbox account, get achievements, collectibles, challenges and making it ad free requires a subscription of €1.99 per month. Not shitting you.
“The year is 50 B.C. Gaul is entirely occupied by the Romans. Well not entirely! One small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders."
Sorry, first thing this reminded me of.

I’ve seen a junior using chatGPT to do the job while not really understanding what’s going on and the end it was a big mess that didn’t work. After I told him to read a “for dummies” book and he started to think for himself he got something decent out of it. It’s no replacement for skill and thinking.
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.
If you’re working on a secret project, you make your own communication tools and protocols. Or if you’re lazy you just set up a mail server behind a VPN.
It’s like those self service kiosks they have. The first version was broken most of the time, but they got the bugs worked out and after that those kiosks were everywhere.
It’s not supposed to be in cows. That’s the issue.
The companion article about American contrariness was also fun. Fauci warns against drinking raw milk and immediately social media has people promoting drinking raw milk “for immunization” making the sale of raw milk shoot up.
At this moment I think if a new pandemic starts, nurses are just going to quit their jobs in the spot instead of going through all that again.
Pharmaceutical sector. They can be very paranoid.
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.
