Thank you both for the offer! I'm curious about what hardware I would need?

Congratulations! You have my vote. This is something I've always wanted to do. I have to look into making this a reality this year.

Oh yes, I'm seeing a lot of trouble brewing in Europe too. According to The Fourth Turning there's always a lot of chaos in the early stages of great societal transformations. I think that could be what

I really have no idea what triggers these moments. It doesn't happen often to me but has happened pretty consistently throughout my life. You're right though, I wish it happened more often.: ) It's an

There will certainly be companies capitalizing on robots for cheaper labor. The job loss will be a catastrophic to a lot of people and governments will be scrambling to try to control civil unrest. I think

We're really enjoying the series. We watched a few episodes as they were being released in 2010 but then got side-tracked and never continued. The dynamics between the social classes and how they were

I've felt this before, I think I've told you a few times about my connection with London. I chalk mine up to either past life or genetic memories. The Covenant Garden area impacted me deeply, as did Mayfair.

I feel like America is the frontline of a battleground right now and a precursor to what we'll see in the rest of the western world if we don't find a way to wake up to this divisiveness and manipulation.

That was such an epic move on your part to buy those credits. I've never heard of that before. I left the workforce at 46 and don't regret "early retirement" one bit. I would say, it would be

You're right, those who shrug off this new tech will be left behind in some aspects. There will be small pockets of people who choose to live without it and they might be a whole lot happier in some ways.

Interesting, I'd never heard of that! It's also interesting that the Streisand-effect made the theory popular. I feel like AI will be the key that unlocks so many of our mysteries. It feels like it will

They will, undoubtedly, eliminate jobs. Some are saying up to 90% of jobs will be wiped out within the first decade.

Thanks for your comment! I can't imagine how luxurious it would feel to have a bot taking care of all the things we can no longer do or tedious tasks. I can see how this will become a multi-trillion dollar

It's weird to think about what the human-robot dynamic will be like once the dust settles. We can probably look to Sci-Fi for clues. They will be a shock at first but eventually we'll accept them as

It's looking like the tech might evolve exponentially from this point (if it doesn't go rogue). I think capable AI was the missing piece of the puzzle that stifled innovation. China already has entire

It's a mixture of worrisome and exciting for me. I think, in some ways, we're going to consider ourselves lucky to remember what it was like before AI/Robotics existed.

Household DIY will be the ultimate test for these robots! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to make 2-3 trips to the hardware store in one day while working on a project, not to mention all the
