Re: New predictions for the timeline
This may or may not be worthy of an entry, but it should be noted that the frequency of asteroid impacts similar in size to the Chelyabinsk meteor is about once every 80 years, meaning that it is possible another town or city will see a destructive fireball event by 2090 or 2100.

Re: The tech that is currently advancing at this moment
In my state (Florida), FPL seems to be advertising the use of solar panels more than ever. Also, Florida's intercity rail system, Brightline, is apparently the first passenger rail service in the world to use Starlink as its onboard wi-fi provider.

Re: OpenAI Sora actually is dangerous
Can I please just log out from all of this weirdness and nonsense? ...At this point, you probably should. There are real, physical people you can talk to about such subjects, and this will remain true for a very long time. Having near complete negativity about the future (I know for a fact that you...

Video: 1,000 years of future countries
There's no explanation given as to exactly what happens in this video, but the overall flow of the timeline matches up almost perfectly with how I view the world changing during this time frame: Not implausibly fast (i.e. Star Trek-like technology within 50 years), but not devolving into a neo-medie...

Re: Nanobots and Nanoparticles
This is why I'm glad we have a refrigerator in our apartment that can give you filtered water from ice. For this reason, I don't think we've ever had to use a plastic water bottle while at home.

Re: Over 50% of users may shun social media by 2025
I've been pondering about this myself for the better part of a year. In the early days of YouTube and Twitter, you could very easily report bullying, trolling and false information (i.e. "this comment has been flagged as spam"). Ten-something years later, there's almost no moderation on th...

Re: Scumbags
This genuinely feels like something from a horror B movie.
