I'm still wearing a mask indoors in public places--often the only one doing so. But it was nice not to get a cold this winter, and sticking out like a sore thumb is not new for me.

I still do the same. I've not had any sort of cold or flu since Jan 2020.

I'm usually not the only one, but there's very few here still wearing masks. But enough that you always see someone.

Something needs to be done. Covid has basically killed my brain. I have found nothing that could even begin to help, and my memory is getting worse, not better. I also type much worse, it's slowed me down so much because going fast makes for 80% typos. And that's even if I can remember what the heck I'm trying to type.

We were supposed to have flying cars decades ago.

Sure, today, there are some flying cars, but most people only see them in videos.  We don't have skyways full of people flying their cars here and there.

There is the future that people are convinced will be reality and then there is the reality that is the future.

I usually grump alongside Tim but offer only a half-grump this time - yes, AI can do some very worthy things but it cannot write a novel worth reading / appealing to readers 50yrs from now.  Bc its a tool w/no human genius.  Our current problem is thinking that AI can do more than it can.

Thinking, no.

Being TOLD by media hype is what's going on.

It's being hyper marketed. And as usual, the ads have no basis in reality.

Definitely a paywall.

As for the title, I'd call BS on that straight away.
