I can't wait to come home one day only to find that somebody hacked my smartfridge to cause everything to spoil while my smartoven was set to 500.

Yeah, self checkouts are a blessing for people with generalized anxiety. I get what I need with minimal non-essential human interaction for those days when other people are too much to deal with, but I still need fuckin groceries.

Trabisnikof posted:The “unions violate my corporation’s closely held religious beliefs” case is working its way up the courts as we speak. The corporation can't even show up to church on Christmas and/or Easter, but they still want to claim they're religious?  I'd love to see their CEO read Matthew 19:24 aloud, in front of their workers, without a shred of irony and keeping a straight face. Bonus points if they didn't know what the verse was about beforehand and go into it cold.

It's only a short thematic jump from "forced rave" to "unwilling cyborg army, screaming to be set free while they are commanded to run full-tilt into a mob right as 'slaughter-mode' is engaged".

Modest Mao posted:As someone who just finished their masters what you described sounds like heaven, definitely all the problems I saw in academia. Would attract teachers who like the subject matter and / or teaching rather than the "those who can't do, teach, and do so for the paycheck" type of people Teaching "for the paycheck" sounds like a pretty terrible plan.

Always glad to see us moving away from the Gibsonian techno-dystopia and moving further into the realm of PKD's "Second Variety" with a touch of Dr. Strangelove mixed in. I can already hear government suits shouting: "We need killer robots that can kill their killer robots! We can't afford a killer robot gap!"

I don't believe there were even simulated tests. This is the United States military we're talking about here. The same organization who didn't bother testing the magnetization or the firing mechanisms of submarine torpedoes during world war 2, which led to them either not exploding at all or circling right back on to the ship who fired them, sinking them. The same organization who spent untold billions of dollars on armor and camouflage that didn't work, on fighter jets that can't fly through clouds, on naval vessels that can't be in salt water. My guess is some E-2 awards clerk left his novel's first draft on the wrong USB drive and the brass found it and thought it was the really real world.

It's less "people are getting dumber", because people in general have always been pretty dumb, and much, much more "the really stupid people are getting richer and louder".

The other side of it is stories like: "yeah, I've had 5 broken teeth for the better part of a decade, but I can't get them fixed because the teeth in my head are not considered 'a part of the human body'."

Cool and based of the article to doxx the specific rear end in a top hat personally responsible for making their product markedly worse. We need more of that in the future, imo. Make these corpocrat douchebags sweat a little.

Totally cyberpunk Hey, if the corps all want to start taking shots at each other and kickstart a more Gibson/Shadowrun-style dystopia, i feel like i would prefer that to the lovely knockoff Philip K. Dick one we're currently in, at least.
