This is a hell of a lot cooler than a Segway. Nobody ever got laid riding one of those.
This seems like the logical next step towards a flying car. But there’s too many technical and safety issues to overcome, for this thing to ever be profitable.

I wish them luck. Sounds fun. But it’s obviously a hobbyist niche.

There’s a trade off. Centralization consolidates power. Decentralization distributes it.
For example, you could have a digital ID/passport that includes your drivers license, medical and financial information etc. It would be convenient, but you’d lose your privacy and would be more vulnerable. All of your security would be bundled into a central point of failure.
This isn’t even touching the conspiracy theories.

That’s what language models are best at.

I will never, ever use a Zuckerberg product. I logged out of Facebook about 10 years ago and will never log back in, under any circumstance.

I’d certainly agree it’s critical to upskill. That’s much more important than faking social engagement.
I’m just saying that eye contact and hand shakes go a long way in building trust. It could be the difference between closing a deal and not.

You know the old saying “give me liberty or give me death”. Some people actually mean it. Another one that this shit show has proven to me is “those who choose security over liberty, deserve neither”. That means you.

Be careful what you wish for. There’s a good reason that language models have improved so much last year. If they don’t need you to come into the office, they may not need you at all. Especially if you’re an antisocial grunt.
Offices exist to offer a social work environment. I mean, theoretically secretaries could have been replaced by an answering machine and windows 95. It’s still a viable career because it’s good for social relations and teamwork.
You need to depend on your social skills to get away with mediocre grunt work going into the future.

Too bad we’re not mice.
Can they at least move on to monkeys? Or something that lives longer than a decade?

Everything and anything is a visual distraction. We’re the kind of people that find an image of Jesus in burnt slice of toast.

We already do. It’s called video. You have a recorder in your pocket. What else could you ask for?

Artificial sweeteners are not news. Sugar is not a problem. Self control is.

Maybe not anytime soon. But if you were to tell Benjamin Franklin, we’ll be able to fly across the Atlantic in our sleep, he would have pistol whipped you and sold your organs.
