It is the future. Mankind has conquered the stars. An advanced exploration corps, a new breed of pioneer must seek out unstable planets and destroy them. And you are on the mission of the 21th century planet smashers.

Ape Fist posted:Computers are still dumb as gently caress mind you, every smartphone comes with 'Voice Recognition' on par with a mentally disabled elderly grandparent. I'm sure the people in 1967 wouldn't be impressed if you asked a computer a simple question like 'Nearest Coffee Shop', and the computer went 'Yes, searching for nearest poopy plops, there are 24 poopy plops in a 10 mile radius.' my old rear end four year old cell phone has a voice recognition chip that can tell when im yelling at it from across my apartment even when its locked and it even answers my questions in a hal-9000 voice maybe you should stop buying hastily designed samsung garbage

You gotta talk to it normally, if you try to make your MAXIMALLY-CLEAR-ROBOT-IMPRESSION it won't get you. nah actually it's bad and it makes the same mistakes over and over again until i'm screaming at the inside of my car to no, please, call Marilyn, not give me goddamn directions to maryland, and then i throw my phone out the window and crash my car and die and finally receive the relief i've sought all my life

also, the dystopian authors nailed it that surveillance of daily life would become ubiquitous and used without consent of the surveilled for selfish ends by the people doing the surveillance. what they failed to predict is that it wasn't a rapture of wartime jingoism that turned our privacy over to the government (not primarily, anyway), but that we turned it over incrementally to private corporations in exchange for devices of convenience and leisure. and the pretext for the power-hungry people using the surveillance to keep themselves in power turned out to be personal prestige and profit, not state security. whether this actually leads to an oppressive dystopia remains to be seen, but if it does, it'll probably be some kind of unprecedented corporate feudalism.
