Unbeknownst to many, the technological singularity began when we became dependent on high-speed internet for our daily lives.

I haven't logged in since 2017. I was surprised my account wasn't deleted for inactivity. Most of the people I had on there are senior managers and above. Seems like it's an echo chamber now where you reshare links from on r/technews. Seems pointless now and I probably won't login again for another five years.

Reply to A space rock slammed into Mars on Christmas Eve. It revealed a hidden surprise by jormungandrsjig

The meteoroid left quite a crater on the red planet, and it revealed glimmering chunks of ice in an entirely unexpected place — near the warm Martian equator.

Reply to Automakers are going all-in on gaming to keep us in our cars by Test19s

New cars where I live cost more than the average workers salary and discounts are offered to those paying cash only. I can see car ownership waning, especially among people living in high density real estate where it's very expensive.

> It’s amazing we live in a world where automation is a threat to livelihoods rather than an instrument to allow people to pursue more important callings.

Retraining isn't an option for many people today due to the cost of a secondary education and absolute need to find replacement work ASAP to keep the wolves at bay. Job losses in this sector will hit the poor hard, and not many of them have the credit to borrow enough to go back to school full time and cover living expenses.

Those may work fine in metropolitan cities which have fantastic snow clearing. But wheeled delivery robots aren't going to work across much of the Northern Hemisphere.
