A few weeks back, Elon Musk revealed the completion of the first brain chip implant in a human. Scary deepfake stories do the rounds of the Internet every day. Selfitis is an actual medical condition of addiction to selfies. With all its pros, the fast-paced development in AI and technology does pose a very tangible harm to humankind and our quality of life.
People on X are discussing their honest opinions on technology that essentially re-iterate some of it is ridiculous and we’re doomed.

Upgrading phones yearly is basically pointless…. What is so game-changing about the latest model that the one from 3 years ago can’t do? Realistically, nothing . So just buy one and keep it till it breaks. https://t.co/3aoLUmry2t
