Tech is just fucking weird. They seem to think they should be allowed to grow more rapidly than we've ever seen before, make billions of dollars, but have no accountability for the social chaos they cause because that would moderately impact the huge sums they make.
Facebook could moderate its content much better, but refuse to because it will affect their fucking massive bottom line. Needs to clamped down on hard IMHO.

It’s hurting my mental health and I am an adult. The human brain didn’t evolve to know about this many people and this much information.

No, too much social media is toxic. “Social” media is complete bs. No one needs it.

No but the cheapest option is to work from home with zoom. It works fairly well. The type of technology you’re suggesting might make sense in niche scenarios but ultimately seems like it has a low cost to benefit ratio.
I can’t speak specifically to the security guard angle of your point. Maybe you’re correct but again that’s niche in the grand scale of jobs that can be WFH.

Weak, like the mind of the person who wrote this article and anyone who believes it.

Right, because the many countries that researched this time and time again have a "weak" argument.
The article can be summed up as "we don't like these studies because it doesn't fit out agenda. Correlation does not equal Causation, unless it benefits me!"

Yep, as long as enough people are all wrapped up in wedge issues and identity politics and kept in a perpetual state of "we versus they," there won't be enough critical mass to fight the real fight: "the rich versus the rest."

>that's mainly because the west walled itself off from huawei, despite the company owning a majority of the global 5G marketshare
True... It'd be great to see 5G being more globally available.
>hilarious how westerners are now rejecting advancements in technologybecause they aren't the ones driving it anymore. who needs gigabitinternet nothing needs that much bandwidth anyway!!!
I'm from the US, and i totally agree with you. The west's desire for dominance is impeding with so much potential advancement. 5G was supposed to be widespread in the US by now, but so many things are trying to avoid it - particularly a lot of airports (this hinders major cities) and states (hinders entire regions).
I was thinking of getting a Xiaomi, and the units sold certainly are not far behind American brands. A lot of restrictions are being brought up in regards to imports from China, which is quite annoying.

Did not know that. Just did a search and you're right. Thanks.

Uh. These applications would save millions of dollars each year by not having to provide office space, purchase monitors or monitor mounting hardware, desks, chairs, coffee, bathrooms, toilet paper, parking space, heat, electricity... The list goes on and on.
The thing is a lot of these ESTABLISHED businesses have already invested in the office space and are inclined to use it. New businesses that are not yet established would prefer not to invest in office space as a cost-saving measure. All of this futuristic hardware is cheaper than the cost of property taxes on office space for a single year. Do you think a start-up is going to invest millions of dollars in downtown office space when they can accomplish the same productivity by investing thousands in hardware?

As EV prices continue to come down it will no longer make economic sense for consumers to purchase ICE vehicles.

Thanks to short attention spans and humanity's astounding ability to adapt to new circumstances, CEOs are embracing the "random bullshit, go!" method of distracting and deflecting in order to dissipate any accumulating pushback against their decisions. They just need to ride it out. Generative text AI is a nice, cheap, controllable way to help with that. It's designed to sound good but not actually mean anything, and is easily disavowed if it acts up.
Look at how quickly everyone's gotten over the fact that Twitter has been turned into a megaphone for narcissistic billionaires and Nazis. We've all just sort of accepted it as the new normal. Sure, lots of people are still mad and thinking about it, but it's no longer enough people to effect any change.
