Elon Musk's girlfriend
That’s what they always say, that merging with technology will benefit our way of living. And I can see it helping people with disabilities or born without limbs but where do you draw the line? What’s stopping billionaires from augmenting themselves with tech and gaining yet another advantage over the rest of us? If we merge with tech and replace natural human parts and life spans are we even human? I have a friend that thinks it’s inevitable but I’d rather call it quits then be anything other than the way I was bornI watched Grimes do a podcast on Lex Fridman and found her pretty interesting (esp. from a musical perspective because I also create music) I got the sense that she wants the best for humanity and highly interested in exploring the depths of human and tech capabilities, believes there's much to achieve and that a peaceful existence is possible.. she's def highly interested in technology and how we can improve existence, but not necessarily the biggest fan of social media, ironically. she describes herself, and people like her as "homo-techno" I can see why Elon was drawn to her.. I also respected the fact that Lex didn't make it about Elon.

I also feel like helping people with disabilities is a good use, but we've probably been screwed since the invention of Myspace IMO! (in terms of social tech, anyway) I'm extremely grateful to have grown up in the 80s and 90s when *real* relationships with actual humans were a thing.That’s what they always say, that merging with technology will benefit our way of living.

I wish I grew up then, I was born in 96 but I remember a short time before social media where I would hang out with friends and actually meet people. Now it’s like everyone is in a bubble and too afraid to form real relationships. Now if you do meet someone they’re like “what’s your insta?” And if you don’t have one they act like you’re a leper lolI also feel like helping people with disabilities is a good use, but we've probably been screwed since the invention of Myspace IMO!
