Re: Other futuristic AI-generated media

Absolutely loving the sound of AI-generated starship and galactic battle GIFs! It's such a cool throwback to the epic sci-fi vibes of the '90s movies, comics, and video games we grew up on. It's great to see AI art exploring beyond Cyberpunk and diving into these classic themes. If anyone's feeling ...

Re: Is technological progress slowing? Consider agriculture...

You've got a point about tech in farming. I saw this with my cousin's farm. They got all this fancy tech like drones and computerized feed systems, but it wasn't just plug-and-play. They had to figure out how to make it all work with the way they've been farming for years. It was a big change, espec...

Re: The affordable housing crisis

Man, housing costs are insane, especially in the US. Rent's gobbling up more than half the paycheck, and jobs are playing games with hours. Buying a home? Forget it. Even the dumps cost a fortune.

Re: Economic and jobs news thread

Hey folks, just saw the news about weekly jobless claims dropping for the sixth week in a row. Good sign for the economy, right? But hey, the total number still claiming benefits is kinda keeping us on our toes. Anyone feeling the impact of labor shortages in their area?

Re: The Sleep Thread

Typically, I hit the hay around 11 PM. That's my sweet spot - not too early, not too late. Now, I like my time online or a good Netflix binge, but those hours before midnight seem crucial for getting quality sleep. You might get pleasure from watching something before going to sleep, but if it goes ...

Re: Remote Working News and Discussions

One big effect of the Covid-19 pandemic situation is remote work. A lot of employees are still working remotely, and of course, it's convenient for them, but a side effect is that they are less productive. I own a logistics company that works with trucks from the USA and EU. I've sent a lot of dispa...

Re: Fashion in the 2030s, 2040s

Well, there will definitely be major changes. Of course the basic items will remain, and everything will evolve from there. However, I am sure the colours and designs will surprise us.

I totally feel you. I am scared and curious at the same time about what is going to happen in the future 10 or 20 years.
