2. I see SO much more trouble coming down at us from these Tech Bros

and their "life changing" technology. None of it will be based on whether or not we actually NEED it, or if it will actually help the common person. All of it will be based on how many million will it make me and how fast will it pile in? Never mind the deaths, the suicides, the despair, the loss of hope for the future.

Young ones are sure to be overly excited, tho. Anything fringy, edgy, and disdainful to the general population is always great for stealing money out of the pockets of young ones. Now, AI can steal their soul, too.

I maintain that technology could be a wonderful gift to mankind - healthcare, rehabilitation, etc. I just don't think it WILL be. Instead, it will designed and created with the worst of humanity already inbred in it. War, violence, civil unrest. It would have to evolve to outpace man before it could serve a decent place in society. And we can't even get our own flesh and blood to evolve to that point right now!
