I thought about that right after I posted that. I think self-driving still have a ways to go before mass acceptance.

The tech for phones already exists and as more vehicle manufacturers adopt Android Auto and Car Play, it will become more prevalent. I've already seen demos where enabling Android Auto disables the phone's screen so that you can only interface with it via the auto's console or via voice commands.

Now there are no more small town department stores at all.

We allowed corporations to acquire too much power in the name of capitalism. They've done nothing but throw their workers into the grinder. And we're supposed to be shocked that employees don't prioritize their work above the rest of their shitty life?
That free market capitalism has created a pretty good quality of life compared to most of the world. Poor in this country is a 50" flatscreen and an Iphone 8 for 80% of the population. I would argue that the importation of low skilled labor and NAFTA was most detrimental to the middle class, and forced wages down or overseas.

Yeah, there’ll definitely be some holdouts - namely the older gens - but I think basically anyone, liiiike, 40 and under will welcome it with open arms. Being able to bullshit on your phone, text, watch movies, Netflix, etc. on your commute will be a game changer I think most can’t wait for.

Life is even crazier than me. Homeless, an addict and never give up. Now 2 homes etc. I have to quit giving my $$ up tho. Went thru a million helping folks. But 1 Million is good for me. I live on like $20,000 a year except when I go to Chiefs games.

Just a simple man it seems.

This is me as well. I set myself up as salaried though. Family business that I am getting close to running on my own. I basically work 6:30-5:30 M-F with an hour lunch. Some Saturdays but very few.

I worked on a project in 2005 or so that was involved in land based, self driving attack vechiles. Being like a drone but grounded. There were some problems. Never heard whether they pulled it off.

I easily work 10-12 hours a week beyond contract time.

You are in a field that sucks when it comes to capped income, at least in public schools.

They have their scales, and the experience tiers which show what you can be paid.

true. A little unsure what I want to do next year. Lots of things going on in my mind.

I work from home. I probably get, the same amount, most likely, more done working from home than if I was in the office. I also, obviously, also get more done at home..

When I’m in the office I dgaf because you can’t tell me I’m not working if I’m at my cubicle… at home, if I’m gone for 1 hour doing grocery shopping and dishes?? Shit I come back to my desk blazing through my work…

Teaching is an odd one. I taught in public schools for 6 years. My last year I was making about 50k for 9.5 months of work with free health insurance and the Missouri teacher retirement is hella good. BUT I was 9 hours a day 5 days a week at minimum. So it was maybe 25/hr. So you had to do something else during the summer months. And I knew a lot of teachers in Springfield that worked night jobs on Thursday-Sunday during the school year.

And the explosion of AI, Ai Agents, Model Context Protocol, Topographical Quantum Qubits, and Active Inference... all of which are steamrolling to Superintelligence...

Most human resources will become marginalized and many will be obsolete.

So, you need to learn about this shit, or you'll be a have-not.
