I wish entrepreneurs would stop trying to make Manna[1] a reality. It's supposed to be a dystopia, people. Stop trying to create it! 1: https://marshallbrain.c

  Fun story, thanks for sharing! Seems pretty inevitable... the Elon Musks of the world would love this. Luxury living for the 1%, fully automated indentured servitude for the rest of us. But at least we'll have nice text to speech in the headsets, hopefully.

    Kind of like the movie Elysium but without the space station. Somehow, making dystopias into reality seems like a sort of weird moral imperative to a lot of tech people. I guess techies (wrongly) think that they'll somehow end up on the side of the 1%.

      As long as we have hierarchical social systems, there'll always be people happy to step on the 90% if that means they can be part of the 10%. And many tech workers do fall into that bucket :/ As a group, we're not exactly known for our ethics or social benevolence...
