We don't need more developed regions. Having an exclusion zone controlled by mosquitoes is an effective way to keep this planet's lungs intact.
Without any checks on growth the planet will be covered in either concrete, corn fields or palm plantations.
I suppose I'm a troll for wanting to keep some areas of the planet off-limits... I'd certainly rather there was a more civilised way to keep green spaces!
I only realised I had a problem when two hour films that were not about superheroes became impossible to watch.
After the gateway drug that was online news, I discovered the heroin of Reddit and the the hundreds of inane but amusing daily updates.
Judging by the percentage of original comments on sites like Reddit (and here) I see that I'm not alone. The opportunity to communicate at any time of day is pretty compelling but actual brain stimulation is negligible!
It's a bit depressing to think that given access to a few musicians' back catalogues, computers will be able to crank out perfect new compositions in seconds. Photography will be pretty easy to emulate as well, given the millions of examples.
If something brings joy to the audience though, who cares who made it? Robot or murderer, the artist's story should be irrelevant.
There will be a big hole in Netflix without their hit-or-miss superhero lineup.
Who the hell wants to stream only Disney content though, they must be mad to think people want yet another outlay. Netflix and one other (for GoT) hits the sweet spot!
Read any half-decent management manual and you'll find plenty of opinion about complementary characters. Yes, you probably want someone charismatic, not necessarily a 'comedian' - that seems too simplistic.
Just don't end up cooped up with someone who thinks it hilarious to share the endings of novels!
It's certainly a cunning plan, worthy of the great Baldrick himself! A single laptop and only one person knows the password, that man has a chronic disease and is travelling in a third world country *facepalm*
Well, despite housing stock being overall a bit shit, standards of new builds (tiny shoeboxes) are generally quite efficient.
Manufacturing is outsourced to other countries and pollution is further reduced.
On top of that, despite the temperature hovering near freezing, many are wearing their entire wardrobes rather than turn on their expensive electric.
A recent Facebook argument with hundreds of comments argued about the practicalities of heating a flat with some tea-lights and flower pots!
In short, making people poorer is a great way to tackle emissions:(
AI could conceivably come up with an optimal design for a product but the author seems to want something else - a subjective 'beauty'?
It's unlikely that a computer would design a commuting car that is not aerodynamic for example, unless a human adjusted some weightings somewhere... wonder what that slider would say? 'Pimp Factor'?
High-powered and relatively cheap devices are in the pockets of most people - what they do with the sum of Human knowledge?
Spend all day playing Candy Crush and sexting of course!
Productivity will go up but there will be an awful lot of human casualties. Expect Oxy use to rise - it's not quite the Soma we were hoping for but it's close!
When the rich can afford machines that do the work of ten or a hundred men, they will get even richer at the expense of hundreds of unemployed. This will even go for Lawyers and GPs and other middle-class jobs though
Wading through films on Amazon is like looking through the ex-rental bucket at Blockbuster, can't speak for Netflix.
Give me two episodes of a half-decent series over a crappy film anyday - who's got time for rubbish when there is so much choice available, at any time of day?
The phrase makes no sense - "The cyber weapon is not only for our enemies," said France's defence secretary this afternoon, speaking through a translator. "No. It's also, in France, a tool to defend ourselves. To respond and attack." "
Anyway, isn't declaring yourself to be up for some internet fisticuffs a recipe for disaster? A million script kiddies just realised how much fun it would be to deface French websites and turn off their power!
We hire for skills... as long as you have everything we need before you step through the door of course!
Seriously, companies expect the full package without any further training necessary... yet expect to survive in a fast moving technical environment...sigh
This ended badly in the film 'Kingsman'!
Seriously though, most jobs will and should be done by AI instead of Humans.
The discussion we should be having is how we share resources between a massive population who will be gradually redundant over the next 30 years, not how we compete with the robots!
Maybe we can all maintain a facade by webcam? Perfect Tinder date, perfect salesperson or camgirl.... as long as we never meet in the flesh.
Think my cyberpunk reading list is coming true!
As a hip and trendy middle-aged metrosexual male, I have to ask whether this will cope with my beard?
And can gingers expect their freckles to be airbrushed out?
Only joking, the concept sounds awesome but I have trouble brushing my teeth in the morning, let alone spending valuable time to look like a gameshow host!
Young people today are not old enough to remember decent, unbiased news. I have no facts to back it up but I would put the change at roughly the early 00's, maybe around 2001, in the early Autumn.

There are only 18 results for the word 'vaccine'?

The elephant in the room is that we don't actually require more humans and more developed regions of the planet.

Stay off my space station you lunatic!
Maybe, apart from the ones that experience paranoia and anxiety. And definitely not a performance enhancer for the memory!

With that amount of shit in his system I think the word 'accident' is a bit of a stretch!
Is coincidentally the optimum amount of memory (in bytes) required for the application!

Not just free but it looks nice and still hasn't turned into bloatware after all this time.
