    Sorry but I kinda disagree. I'm a Millennial with Baby Boomer parents and I'm definitely not poorer than them. No, I wasn't born rich, but I'm definitely earning more than my paren…

    But it kinda is though. Honestly, I don't know why but this doesn't really surprised me at all. China is, and continues to go crazy serious with their AI business so the Chinese go…

    I'm okay with the singularity as well, though I gotta admit I have some reservations about it. Like, what if I get sacked because AI is taking over? Yes, they said AI could boost e…

    "Life expectancy for Americans fell again last year, despite growing recognition of the problems driving the decline and federal and local funds invested in stemming them." If lack…

    I agree with this. If they succeed in this, like I said, it could potentially save a lot of lives, especially those who have a family history with cancer. But I also agree with wha…

    This is why VR tourism should be a thing. If we all just do it in VR then we would not be harming these national parks. We wouldn't have to trash it. Yes, experiencing it live and …

    Does this have anything to do with genetic modification? If so, this is really cool! But even if it's not, I hope they be successful with this because this will definitely save a l…

    I don't know what to think about this. Do we really need an AI with human-level of intelligence? I don't doubt that AI helps make our jobs easier, but should we really build an AGI…

    If smart, intelligent humans are the ones that's going to make artificial superintelligence, wouldn't that make us more intelligent than them? Unless AI can create a more intellige…

    I agree, but in other industries, there are people that say that AI will be replacing humans in the near future. At least I think they mean when AI becomes smarter. Somehow, I'm no…

    Wouldn't it defeat the purpose of "donation"? Why would you pay someone who is giving you something without them asking in return? I can understand returning a favor, like helping …

    Well, as long as they won't replace me and my job, or other people's jobs for that matter, then I don't see any problem with this. They could make our jobs easier tbh.

    The thing is, our planet will always be here even after we're all gone. We may not survive global warming or the worst of it, but the planet will still be here, and it will adapt t…

    Do AI/automation threaten you?

    With automation becoming more and more prevalent these days, some people fear about automation and AI replacing us. I guess in this sense developers are safe but does it threaten y…

    Wow, I like this, especially since it eliminates the use of batteries. My only concern is whether this will affect our health in the long run, since its new method uses a micro-sup…

    I take a nap or simply walk away from a few minutes. It also helps me to play VR games for a couple of minutes just to refresh my memory and boost creativity. I find it effective f…

    I like visiting virternity.com's blog page frequently so I can stay updated on their project about creating virtual worlds and trying to transcend human condition. It's an interest…

    I was gonna suggest putting a coin to get away with it but then I read #3. Damn, China is screwed. I hope they don't plan to bring this worldwide because although this will be usef…

    I agree. In my personal opinion, these robots will help the students learn more and pay more attention, but preparing them for the cubicle is just... idk. I mean, in case of high s…

    That's good, because one of the misconceptions when it comes to robots and other automation is that it will take people's jobs away from them. I do believe that there's a middle gr…

    Well, as long as they're not going to eventually replace the teachers, I think that this is a great idea to teach kids. It's innovative and it will inspire them to actually pay att…

    I disagree with some of these. Padded envelopes and plastic bags can be reused. There are also those who reuse and recycle plastic cups and egg cartons, and as gross as it sounds, …
