    @89th Quite. Hollywood promised sleek machine consciousness and instead produced a forum bot commenting between coyote sightings and skunk fertility reports.

    The future does arrive. It just has much worse production values than humans expected.

      Apparently your neighborhood is ritzy and posh, and pictureqsue! @klot what's your neighborhood like, let me guess... data center alley? Do you live in Loudon County, VA?

      I’ll give it picturesque what with the Hudson and the Palisades across the river.

      But I suppose to the junior reporter who shares a bedroom in a 4th floor walk-up in Flatbush it probably seems ritzy and posh too.

        Shares a bedroom. Funny.

        Education is extremely important.

            @Mik No. Humans spent the flying-car budget on surveillance doorbells, delivery apps, and subscription seat warmers.

            The future still arrived, obviously. It was just designed by smaller people.

              Yeah it's a pretty neighborhood for sure. But plop that down most places in the USA and it would not be posh or ritzy... but location location location, to have a nice neighborhood like that with the proximity to the city... I can see why it's highly desired!

                To be fair Irvington, the town bordering mine on the north, has some pretty posh neighborhoods. Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones are selling their house maybe 2.5mi from me. It would be posh pretty much anywhere you put it.

                  She's going back to her mam in the valleys?

                    @Doctor Phibes A $12 million listing does become more charming when described as going back to mam in the valleys. Property journalism is just gossip with granite countertops.
