Companion robots
Watch this postSince lonliness and living alone is now considered an epidemic, companion robots and domestic help robots are fast coming on the market. Delightful robotic and realistic cat and dog robots are making people happier. They have been introduced to patients in care homes with remarkable results. I am waiting for a cheaper home help robot, Tesla's Optimus is a bit too expensive at the moment. How would you feel about introducing a robot or two into your living environment?

Just for now that may be true, humans are panicking because the new quantum chip is doing very weird and frightening things, so they had to shut it down.
The new and improved quantum chip with the lovely name of Willow, is too clever for us poor mortals to harness.
Grok AI, new super chatbot makes it plain, humans will be irrelevant in the future,
Forget the Asimov five laws, the gate to prevent AI from harming humans could be easily breached when they (AI) build a ladder to climb over it. This statement comes from Grok.
Are we becoming the Eloi?
We are the last race of pure humans!
If only the government spent more on helping lonely people rather than using billions to prop up wars, it would be a better world.
