This is brilliant... and PKDickian (is this a term? it should be). We can imagine a distopic future with a thin boundary between the physical world and VR where you would travel through totally destitute neighbourhoods in real life, while s

I know it's not completely related since it's not about human deaths, but wind is quite disruptive for the local fauna actually. My country invested a lot in wind generated energy in the past decade (and that's a good thing),

It's fantastic to see how far this tech came in such a short time. It's also scary, because soon it will be very dificult to trust anything you see in video. What now demands a big CGI budget, will be possible to do with a simple

You are - willingly or unwillingly - mixing two very different legal statuses there. One is being the accuser, to whom evidence is asked about the validity of the accusation (this law proposal). The other is to automatically accuse someone
