I shoot and edit for a living.

It predicting film editing by 2029 seems way far off.

I would be surprised if it takes ai longer than 3 years to be doing at least the first cut of a video.

A (small) cubesat that carries several small (packed) sails like this that can be attached to existing space debris would be very useful.

Some investment in cleaning up space is warranted. I grew up in the 1960s, watching the US response to Sputnik, then going to the moon. All kinds of junk was left in space from the first several decades with no consideration of deorbiting. Just as we used to think we could dump an infinite amount of junk in the sea and atmosphere and it would never matter. Oops.

I have had this same thought, and I think it would make a good premise for a fictional world. In my imagination, I call it "the Phoenix Project."

The problem, of course, is that humanity is not going to survive long enough for this goal to be relevant. The climate crisis will likely exterminate the majority of aerobic life by 2100. If anybody survives, it will be a handful of billionaires and dictators, and those dummies are frankly not capable of perpetuating a functional species.

All humans and all human descendants will be dead before 2200.

Well humans are just biomechanical machines, so there's no fundamental difference if job is done by electromechanical machine im the end, if that machine surpasses abilities of the first mentioned.

Also there will be gradual fusing with the between two, before superior one taking over. Just like humans evolved from some kind of fish, things dont stay same forever. This all sensational alarmism, you really have to look up the big picture.

The Netherlands but that's not the point. it feels like I'm talking to a wall who doesn't understand the basic concept of UBI since all you are focusing on is the amount you'd need specifically for your place of residence which isn't the point of UBI. we are just going in circle's and frankly, I'm not in the mood for this stupidity going further. I'm ending this convo here.
