Funny you mention that. I have a group of young 20 somethings in my firehouse. I rarely ever see them on their phones. They actually speak and interact wirh each other. As for a couple years ago you would see them text each other from across the table.

It's the old dudes now that have thier faces buried in their phones constantly.

Give me dichromium legs....



Yesterday some lady so engrossed in her her dopamine iClick device, didn't even pull her head out of her a$$ to look either way before walked across the street right in front of me.

Mebba she's texting a hookup with her real life cyborg!

In the end the only way to tell if something is real will be to hear it from a human. Once we reach peak AI, we will regain human validity.
