A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Whenever I see headlines like this I read “technological advancement is bad cause I don’t understand it”.
Whenever I see replies like this I read either
"I have no ability to think through, or no interest in considering, the ramifications or evaluating risks before evangelizing a piece of tech"
or
"I'm too selfish to consider anyone else but myself"
Or best of all
"I'm too lazy to watch the video and would rather be contrarian in the comments"
As a rule, I don't watch or read things with clickbait headlines and this is clearly one of those.
I'm happy to take part in the discussion though - because it is an interesting (and important) debate.
I've watched/read plenty of articles on this topic. But if they can't write a good headline, then I'm not going to encourage more of that by giving them an ad impression.
