Your fascist future bores and disgusts me. Who cares if we have flying cars if we have no rights?

Not really. What’s your problem with tech and innovation? We might be the generation that gets space travel and u think it’s a dystopian shithole

This is the real world dawg we’re out here paying bills and you’re hyping up 5 minutes of suborbital for 6 figures. You’re not in the club

“6 figures” is underselling our inequality issue. Those people are billionaires.

Anonymous #2 22h

1,000,000,000 is 10 figures and 999,999,999,999 is 12 figures. 6 figures is not even close to the club.

Computers used to cost six figures, and now you can get one for $500. Just because billionaires and wealthy people get access to new technology first doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing. Innovation drives costs down over time, making that technology more accessible to everyone.

I think the “6 figures” thing is how much it costs to go on a suborbital space flight

You are bitching and crying about other peoples money on yik yak instead of trying to figure out who to build wealth. Do you see the problem?

Yup you’re right. A new Shepard seat costs 2 to 4 million. For 11 minutes in suborbital

Yeah man someone has more money than a small country and spends it making a car you will never own instead of something useful. But we’re the problem

The first computers weren’t accessible to the general public. Now you have one 100,000,000x smarter and sophisticated than it in your pocket.

Neuralink lets people control computers with their thoughts and could help paralyzed people regain movement and communication. In the future, it could let humans connect directly with AI and computers through their brains. The potential to change what humans are capable of is actually insane. Imagine bed rotting but controlling your ai avatar to go do a task for you.

“Bedrotting and controlling an ai avatar” sounds like actual hell Signed, someone who actually enjoys life sometimes

Tbh idrc how much it costs. There are other things that desperately need funding, and the people invested in the industry have a lot more than 6 figures. A suborbital space flight costs chump change to them

Yes I understand very clearly that the problem is capitalism. I’m already extremely wealthy in the department I actually care about: knowledge and critical thought. I don’t care about positioning myself above others in society.

The first spaceships weren’t accessible to the general public. Now they’re still not accessible to the general public (idk unless you’re like a billionaire)

i know what neuralink can do or at least is TRYING to do but i still don’t trust the tech industry esp since it’s private

There’s gonna be all types of safeguards in place to protect people. I think the world will be better with it than without. And I appreciate that you have actual reasons to dislike it and don’t do so bc it’s popular

Ah a calculator. This is a very good comparison to the flying fucking car, which would require literally an entire infrastructure overhaul to even see public use. And that’s not even including laws for example

Ok maybe you’re the one that would’ve complained walking cross country is better than taking trains or flying on an airplane when they dropped

People hate optimism as it questions their endless pessimism

Anonymous #11 21h

I don’t think people actually object to flying cars and the future and things like that - I think people object to this stuff going around unregulated and uncontrolled by the public. We object to the distribution of wealth, which will keep all of this stuff in the hands of a few wealthy fools, rather than in the hands of those who can actually use it.

Technology can be built with political intents in mind, while also not being inherently political. But we both know that’s clearly not why you made this post. Stop bullshitting us and yourself.

Optimism is for stuff like curing cancer, not the idea of maybe spending 200k on some toaster in 2035
