I literally started watching this yesterday. No idea how I went so long without seeing it.

The miniseries is kind of rough (emotionally), but I guess I wasn't prepared for >!the destruction of humanity.!<. It's incredibly good though.

Way ahead of you, buddy.

The dystopian part is something about having a robot standing between us and human contact. I prefer texting over calling as much as the next millennial, but no one asked for them to insert AI into the process. No doubt this is an opt out "service" primarily designed to allow Apple to use all of their customers'conversations as training data.

This scenario is a comic exaggeration of the worst case, but serves as a good example of exactly what's wrong.

A cab with no driver is just an incredibly expensive gender neutral toilet. I shudder to think what will be done in these if they ever exist.

Didn't he say full self drive was two years away at least 5 years ago?

With no information, the blurb is almost designed to be infuriating. But remember that they didn't just drop a wall there. We're talking about grading and building roads for heavy equipment to get there, probably storage, and who knows what else. My money says that was the grift in the first place: scam Trump voters into paying to turn a worthless piece of land into something usable.

That's not the same story?

By "How 2016 turned out" you mean the Democrats ran a conservative, establishment Democrat when literally everyone was saying we want change? Then she was beaten by an "outsider" and the Democrats went all 'shocked Pikachu face' and blamed progressives for their choices?

Dems think that we owe them our votes while they refuse to represent us. That is not democracy.
