I can imagine a rather dark "Employees as a Service" future where we get paid only for each productive minute of automatically recorded work, as if humans were AWS Lambda instances or whatever

I had a job like this once. I ended up staying for a year and it didn't do any permanent career damage. But yeah, hit that eject button.

I'm an ex-rower in my 40s and my usual cardio workout these days is 10km at about a 2:05 pace. Lately I've been watching Breaking Bad episodes during each workout, it's about the right length and a nice distraction! Sometimes

Definitely fake (a "concept") but the renderings are quite well done. For example they're claiming "level 5 autonomy" which nobody has demonstrated yet. No way this will ever reach the market though. The wheel desig
