Sorry but I kinda disagree. I'm a Millennial with Baby Boomer parents and I'm definitely not poorer than them. No, I wasn't born rich, but I'm definitely earning more than my parents. Okay, maybe not as much as my Mom bu

But it kinda is though. Honestly, I don't know why but this doesn't really surprised me at all. China is, and continues to go crazy serious with their AI business so the Chinese government knowing your location shouldn't be a

I'm okay with the singularity as well, though I gotta admit I have some reservations about it. Like, what if I get sacked because AI is taking over? Yes, they said AI could boost employment and will create new jobs but what if it doesn

"Life expectancy for Americans fell again last year, despite growing recognition of the problems driving the decline and federal and local funds invested in stemming them." If lack of awareness isn't the problem, then what is

I agree with this. If they succeed in this, like I said, it could potentially save a lot of lives, especially those who have a family history with cancer. But I also agree with what you said, I hope that this modified virus won't kill

This is why VR tourism should be a thing. If we all just do it in VR then we would not be harming these national parks. We wouldn't have to trash it. Yes, experiencing it live and first-hand is incomparable to seeing it in virtual real

Does this have anything to do with genetic modification? If so, this is really cool! But even if it's not, I hope they be successful with this because this will definitely save a lot of lives. I just hope the modified virus won't

I don't know what to think about this. Do we really need an AI with human-level of intelligence? I don't doubt that AI helps make our jobs easier, but should we really build an AGI just because we can? What do you guys think?

If smart, intelligent humans are the ones that's going to make artificial superintelligence, wouldn't that make us more intelligent than them? Unless AI can create a more intelligent versions of themselves on its own, I have secon

I agree, but in other industries, there are people that say that AI will be replacing humans in the near future. At least I think they mean when AI becomes smarter. Somehow, I'm not we'll see an AGI or ASI in our lifetime. One tha

Wouldn't it defeat the purpose of "donation"? Why would you pay someone who is giving you something without them asking in return? I can understand returning a favor, like helping them out or something. But a monetary payment

Well, as long as they won't replace me and my job, or other people's jobs for that matter, then I don't see any problem with this. They could make our jobs easier tbh.

The thing is, our planet will always be here even after we're all gone. We may not survive global warming or the worst of it, but the planet will still be here, and it will adapt to its new environment. For some reason, I think all the

Wow, I like this, especially since it eliminates the use of batteries. My only concern is whether this will affect our health in the long run, since its new method uses a micro-supercapacitor and combines vapor-coated conductive threads wit

I take a nap or simply walk away from a few minutes. It also helps me to play VR games for a couple of minutes just to refresh my memory and boost creativity. I find it effective for me, even though I only get to do it for about 20 minutes

I like visiting virternity.com's blog page frequently so I can stay updated on their project about creating virtual worlds and trying to transcend human condition. It's an interesting subject, you should check it out.

I was gonna suggest putting a coin to get away with it but then I read #3. Damn, China is screwed. I hope they don't plan to bring this worldwide because although this will be useful in catching criminals, it just might spread paranoia

I agree. In my personal opinion, these robots will help the students learn more and pay more attention, but preparing them for the cubicle is just... idk. I mean, in case of high school students or grade schoolers, we don't know where

That's good, because one of the misconceptions when it comes to robots and other automation is that it will take people's jobs away from them. I do believe that there's a middle ground that we can find where robots and humans

Regarding air pollution, is it because of the smoke emitting from vehicles or the factories? You'd think, because China seems to be pushing their way into the top to becoming a tech-savvy country, that they will do something about it.

Well, as long as they're not going to eventually replace the teachers, I think that this is a great idea to teach kids. It's innovative and it will inspire them to actually pay attention to their lesson. It will also allow them to

I agree. It's nice to see some local officials do something, but a lot of them also have no idea what's really going on in their city because they consume the best products out there. Throw them in the mix with the poorest town an

I disagree with some of these. Padded envelopes and plastic bags can be reused. There are also those who reuse and recycle plastic cups and egg cartons, and as gross as it sounds, there are poor people who "recycle" foods, even th

It is, but think about what happened in the American politics and who ended up in the position. He did because he can and now look at the situation of the country. It's true they're still people, but we can't deny the fact th

I agree that the consequences of us trashing the planet will be felt more by us, but I think that our future kids and grandchildren will have to suffer through it, if we don't take actions fast. It's true, we should support someon

I hope not. CRISPR has a lot of potential to change our lives. I thought they're actually a little closer to finding solutions to treatments of incurable diseases and giving us life longevity. Now I'm not so sure.

Dang. If there was 15 years worth of sea bottom recordings of hidden whale songs I expected a human to be the one to listen it, not an AI. They could use this discovery to further their study of whales and their behavior. Then again, maybe

This is not surprising. Every day on our commute, we inhale toxic smoke from vehicles, or manufacturers and other places and we don't even realize that it's affecting our health. Worse, it'd be too late when we realized it&#x
