Robocops, machine learning, extreme automation, universal basic income—are all these truly necessary? Let's delve into each of them individually.

Considering the rampant corruption among some law enforcers, the idea of robots impartially enforcing the law seems logical. However, robots lack consciousness, meaning they'll enforce laws without discerning the sense behind certain policies.

Robots are programmed to execute tasks and nothing more. While they learn from us—machine learning being the backbone of innovations like ChatGPT—they'll never truly replicate human cognition. This is an integral part of the ongoing process of extreme automation shaping humanity.

These advancements offer convenience but also raise concerns about control. We're witnessing unprecedented technological breakthroughs that were once unimaginable. However, this trajectory toward reduced human intervention prompts the question: what role will humans play?

Universal basic income (UBI) immediately springs to mind when contemplating such matters. I recently discussed this over morning coffee. While technology gradually relieves us of menial tasks, should we be apprehensive?

It hinges on where one stands regarding technological progress. Those adept at harnessing artificial intelligence and blockchain technology gain a significant advantage. However, those left behind may eventually rely on UBI as their societal relevance diminishes.

Elon Musk recently unveiled a robot designed to fold and pack T-shirts slowly. The public reaction was skeptical, claiming humans could perform the task more efficiently. Similar doubts arose with the advent of automobiles, threatening the extinction of horse-drawn carriages.

The robot, currently slower than a human in performing tasks, will likely double its speed within years. The key disparity lies in their lack of need for sleep or sustenance.

Elon Musk recently announced his intention to abandon his SIM card, opting to be solely reachable through his Twitter account. According to his bold proclamation, phone numbers and bank accounts may become obsolete in the near future, rendering the internet as essential as oxygen.

Malls are gradually resembling ghost towns over the years, not due to a lack of purchasing power, but rather because society continues to generate wealth and spend, despite the high inflation figures reported. Personally, I procure most necessities online, except for groceries, where I consistently find more affordable options online. The rationale behind this is clear: maintaining a physical store entails expenses like rent, staffing, and active presence, whereas running an online shop is significantly easier.

This level of convenience was unimaginable during my teenage years, when the world wasn't as interconnected as it is today. Few recognize this reality, and even fewer contemplate their future based on the prevailing trends. The majority still anchors their future aspirations on current and past technologies and lifestyles.

While some lament the loss of jobs to automation, others invest in such technology and explore the tokenization of automation to secure a share of the profits generated. The transition is imminent, characterized by its pros and cons, but ultimately, it is inevitable.

Wishing everyone a splendid Sunday, and until next time.
