EVERYBODY is just one bad day from their lives falling apart

It doesn’t matter who you are, even the richest people in the world are still only a single bad day from their lives falling apart. Granted, someone like Bezos or Musk would have to have a much larger bad day than a poor person (eg their company getting exposed for crimes and being sued versus merely losing a low-paying job and being unable to pay the rent), but even then, both could just be hit by a bus and end up paralyzed.

#JUST ONE BAD DAY

Incremental technological improvement 🙄

Big Tech: We’ve created NEW A.I. technology that can make it look like you are looking at the camera so that people will think you are looking at them instead of at the screen!

Me: PFT! We had that technology in the 1950s and it cost 10¢ or one cereal–box-top. Students were 70 years ahead of their time, and they didn’t just use it to make the teacher think they’re looking at the board instead of at something else, they used it to pretend they’re looking at the board instead of ASLEEP. 😒

1950s style glasses with open-eyes on the lenses
Who knew comics in the 1950s had futuristic technology available for so cheap? Why did an incremental improvement take 70 years?
