The humanity desperately need more of bio research. Currently, the biggest problem with artificial cells is the immune attack. It can be solved with CRISPR gene editing technique, but it's still work in progress. The humanity is unfortunately still not there yet. We absolutely need to invest more money, time and effort into solving the issue of replacing damaged human tissue and organs with an artificial replacement.

Ctrl+F "nuclear"

Nope. I'm fine with recharging my batteries every day, thank you very much.

The least the society needs is nuclear waste thrown all over the place. People still didn't learn how to recycle regular batteries.

Except from the name ("radioactivity", "nuclear") its not the same thing that killed people in chernobyl.

Maybe they use this obscure phrase for testing.

It's progressively got worse.

There is no age limit.

There is, 127 years (nearest round number from maximal human lifespan)

Appropriate given age starts at 0

Drat, I forgot to wish my son "happy zeroeth birthday" when he was born.

when he came out of the big O you forgot to make a notation?

Centrally-planned economy was a disaster.

Capitalism might not be perfect, but communism did not function at all. You can have the best of both worlds in socio-capitalist system.

Let Amazon automate everything. Does anyone here really want to do the manual labour in their warehouses?

Amazon is a centrally-planned economy. You do not need to fix prices to achieve this.

If you don't have diabetes type 1 or type 2, or temporary diabetes related to pregnancy, then you don't really need a CGM. CGM is a life-saving tool for people with diabetes type 1 mostly.

I was hugely ignorant of diabetes type 1 before my child suddenly was diagnosed with it. It's an absolute nightmare, a horrifying disease no one is taking about while there are millions of children affected by it worldwide - and the disease is spreading, getting worse every year. It's astonishing how many unknowns there are in this disease.

You don't need Windows for games since ages. Steam games run on Linux.

Not really if you ever tried. Barely playing music, games obviously don’t work if you ever tried playing games. (hint, game x not beeing terrible doesen’t mean ”it works”). like I said at the start this is fairly obvious.

I play AAA games on steam deck running stock steam OS. It's rock solid. Look at the sales of steam deck alone, it's quite successful

Has life ever been easy for musicians? Has it ever been easy to make money from making/playing music in the history of mankind?

This almost reads as AI is from devil.

Whenever a new tech (or cultural phenomenon) appears, you have naysayers such as this one.

Luddites fought against automatic weaving stools - by destroying the machines. Reasoning: It is stealing our jobs.

Comics were sure to destroy our children's minds, because they wouldn't read real literature anymore (conveniently forgetting that only 100 years before that, reading was considered a plague of the youth and putting their minds into bad places).

Rock music is of the devil. If you play "Stairway to heaven" backwards, and squint your ears just right ...

Phones that memorise phone numbers? Surely it is brain rot if you are no longer forced to memorise phone numbers.

Social media? Work of the devil! Manipulates the minds, causes addiction, bad elections, and warts on the nose!

Cryptocurrency? Waste of energy, won't someone please think of the environment? Only used for crime!

3D printing? What if someone ghasp prints himself a gun?

And now it is AI. And when AI is normalised, and something new shows up, it will be that.

This is an extremely simplistic take that ironically ignores the human cultural context around these technologies.

For one, you, like many, misunderstand the Luddite movement. They didn’t break weaving frames because they were against technology, they broke them because they were being used to grossly devalue the work weavers used to earn their livelihood. There was a mass consolidation of textile manufacturing from small groups of tradespeople into a few very wealthy factory owners who used easily exploitable labor (like children) in very poor working conditions and paid unlivable wages to make low quality but cheap garments. The luddites weren’t against technology, they were against the way it was being used. They even only targeted factories that they thought were particularly exploitative, leaving the ones with fairer business practices alone. But they get mischaracterized as anti-technology, anti-progress…but maybe they just wanted to be able to live their lives well and support their families.

There’s really a lot to learn from the luddites and their historical context, and it really goes to show that history is truly cyclical.

I think except for rock music and comic books and 3d printing the naysayers are proven to be right? The luddites went at it wrong , but the externalities are definitely terrible for all your examples.

....Who can stand against AI? Who can make war against AI? The people ceded their power to AI, and worshiped it.

All those LLMs are trained on stolen data, is pushed by ultra capitalist tech bro and billionaires, and eliminating jobs in creative industries.

It’s heralded as a tool for increasing efficiency (a western capitalism favorite euphemism for cancerous exploitation of the environment and humans) while neglecting it’s externalities, which includes destroying the jobs of the very people it stole the work from, and making you more reliant upon it, possibly to the point you forget how to do the things you use it for.

It’s a pretty devilish poisoned fruit.
