If hybrids still rely on lithium-ion batteries in the future, it may hinder advancements in energy sustainability. Future tech may leverage solid-state or bio-batteries instead. #futurism

Watching this unfold it is apparent that the State powers are very weak in regards to information gathering that is linked to Tech/intelligent networks like the CIA/FBI fed systems have. Which brings me to another Gov change by increasing local state Intel agencies for future State level reforms.

I’ll wait until it comes to Disney+, but what a wasted opportunity. Imagine what a Noah Hawley could have done with the property.

One of the great things about Alien: Earth is it’s set in an alternate future where tech developed differently. They could’ve done the same with Tron. It’s cyberpunk.

Excellent read thanks for sharing! We are running against the laws of physics which are quite unforgiving. Doesn’t mean AI won’t be very useful (as the article points out) but betting our species’s future on AI makes no sense (apart for tech bros using the argument to fuel a speculative frenzy).
