  • Right now, Ai is a party trick.

    Tomorrow, Ai will inform the FBI that #29933 is planning on murdering his sister, and deploy a team of armed drones to escort him to prison, if he makes it.

    Tomorrow, the department stores and supermarkets will be empty and you’ll pick up your groceries from an automated warehouse that inserts them into your car.

    Tomorrow, the mail bot will barf your mail into a labeled box, wherin you’ll find your prescription medication, bottled labeled and packaged by nobody, which you take right after you go out to eat at an empty restaurant, where your food is brought to you by an automated track that says tHaNk Yo in an inhuman tone before cutting off too soon.

    No conversations, no traveling, no hassle, no humanity, or sincerity whatsoever.

    hooray?

    Why the fuck is everyone so stoked about this? Vending-machine land sounds insufferable.

    1. Civil War
    2. Revolution
    3. Societal Collapse
    4. Tribal, post-apocalypse
    5. Misinterpreted Bible leads to a few genocides
    6. Someone rediscovers the light bulb Pick back up around Edison on our timeline…

    You’re looking at around 2350 or so, so… good healthcare sweet spot is likely to be around 2420, supposing you ended up somewhere in the future that isn’t irradiated, or is irradiated in such a way that it regrows limbs, which could be good and bad.

    If you’re talking about working with what we’ve got, well… save some .PDFs in the war truck just in case you have to play field medic.

    Is that what it is? Addiction?.. Or am I just absorbing information as I would?

    For that matter, is it a detriment that I sit here, scroll, read, investigate, research, find random topic I never expected and learn something new?

    My phone’s just a tool. Replace it with a book, and I’m still doing the same thing for myself, if it’s out of boredom.
