Almost everything tech bros say is to boost short term share prices. Any resemblance to the truth is coincidental.

Now we just need to use the user information to check their net worth, and if it’s above a certain amount it needs to hover a quest marker above that person. I’m curious to see how long before privacy laws get stronger.
Because people get suspicious when somebody is taking pictures of every stranger they come across, but people looking at passersby while wearing glasses is normal.
Even worse, it’s completely real. It was the common situation for me before corona. Also driving an entire day for a 1 hour meeting.
Another company I had contact with did a few layoffs. Afterwards the recruitment department had a lot more issues finding people. Experienced people would ask a premium because of that company’s reputation in the industry and the experienced people would usually stay a short time and leave. The other option was hiring fresh graduates and put effort in training them.
As long as it looks good on paper, somebody in higher management is getting a bonus for this.
Yeah, the first app for AR should be one that identifies people that are in the list of business persons or celebrities and show their net worth over their head like it’s a reward for a game. Then watch as bespectacled grimy folks start following the rich bastards around and AR is outlawed.
AR replaces all screens, buttons and interfaces with holograms. This can be a hologram with the shiny lines you see in many sci-fi, replacing laptop screens, fiddly little interfaces for gadgets, … These things would also be great for designing stuff, teaching using proper models instead of pictures in a book.
Or it can be indistinguishable from real-life, such as having an empty paper book and have the AR glasses overlaying an e-book, such that it reads, looks, feels and smells like a classic tome. Weather predictions look like a note stuck to your door.
Then you have entertainment. That goes from table top games look like they are on the table, to running around outside casting fireballs and chain lighting.
Or it can be an ad riddled nightmare where everything you look at and your reaction is recorded and shared by corporations.
We need a scapegoat in place when the AI bubble pops, the guy is applying for the job and is a perfect fit.
Although they are bad long term. Any platform reaching critical mass is invaded by the corporations, fanatics and propaganda campaigns.
Hundred years. Big difference with the 100.000 years of the current waste.
Yeah, the code can work flawlessly in test, but after a few months of production there are a lot more records or files and the code starts to have issues.
They probably tested in ideal circumstances and their stuff breaks down when even coming close to an edge case.
It’s right next to or in a high intensity lithium fire, not just a normal little flame. That should alter the equation somewhat.
Mostly, yes. Use breeder reactors to turn long term radioactive waste to sort term radioactive waste, store for short time and done. The downside: it’s more expensive to move and process the stuff so nobody wants to do that.
There have been others building a prototype or research reactor, but the M in SMR also stands for mass-produced and nobody got even close to that.
Carbon capture tech.
That one is still being promoted but in the end the CO2 is mainly used to get more oil out of wells.
Small modular reactors. You see these being proposed but so far they’re not being built.
Lithium burns intensely but it doesn’t explode. An electric car can burn for a long time, but they don’t explode. One of the comments says so
I understand that what happened in Libanon was that dedicated explosives were added to the devices, it was not the batteries exploding. But that does not take away the conclusion of your story.
It shouldn’t be undetectable. Throw a device from s series into a fire as a spot check and if it burns it’s ok, if it explodes give the entire series to your enemy’s kids to play with.
Perhaps a daisy wheel printer is an acceptable middle ground
