Great to see you writing again! As I was reading your post I was reminded of a trip I took in the 1990's to the deep south—McCondy Mississippi to be exact. We were visiting my ex-wife's grandmother who

Yes, that's been the pattern repeated since the Industrial Revolution. Profit over people (and the planet), every single time. I guess this time feels different because of the sheer gravity of the paradigm

That's the main problem. This next wave of tech will obliterate so many jobs that some kind of UBI will be a necessity for the average person to survive. I've heard productivity will increase so much with

I have seen that movie—it was so ahead of its time. I can totally see robot companions becoming normalized within the next five or so years.

You're welcome! There are so many writers that I regularly try to keep up with and support...life sometimes gets in the way though. Yeah, that is a good point about decentralization. If we had a centralized

I have seen articles about this Krisz but I haven't read the actual study! Thanks for the link. I think personal discipline in how we use these AIs will truly be the key. We all need to decide what level

You make a good point. It's not the tech that caused the problems but the greed behind how it's been used/applied that has caused most of the problems. Bernie and Joe did cover that point. I'm so glad

It is a bit scary but I'm confident that we'll learn to navigate the coming changes eventually. My biggest fear is that we're extremely underprepared so I think there will be some years of chaos. This

Congrats on achieving that milestone! I know how long you've been working towards it.

My pleasure! I appreciate that. Hive has become such a big part of my life in the last, soon-to-be, nine years. My days of being a regularly trending author on here seem to be behind me now but Hive still

You're welcome Nancy! Have a great night!

There were many more like these three and they all left because of dwindling rewards/engagement. Some of these were real ambassadors of the platform too. There were a lot of philosophical skirmishes back

It's fun revisiting those memories from time-to-time. Thank you Lizelle! We're making a little more progress every day with the house. There's definitely never a dull moment. : ) I hope you enjoy the rest

That would really be something to see all of that memorabilia in person! I think I might have to plan a trip there myself. There seemed to be so many more big stars back then, or maybe celebrity itself

Thanks for the mention @seattlea and I'd like to chime in regarding this topic. So many talented writers have come and gone from the platform. In my opinion what would be considered "good" writing
