Also the belief the future will be better and more abundant. People need that as possible parents being scared of the future are not having (more) children.
And the society we live in tells us money, expensive status symbols and varying experiences you can brag about are the most important things. Having many children stands in the way of that

AI trained on carmageddon
These articles also never mention how this is going to work in the fabric of a city.
Say optimistically a 15 second separation between vehicles, 4 passengers per vehicle, means one ¨sky-lane¨ can transport 60/15 * 60 * 4 => about 1000 people per lane. That´s worse than a car lane, and an order of magnitude behind bicycle lanes and subways. You can stack multiple lanes vertically, but then it becomes more fun with traffic control for take-off and landing and still a bicycle lane transports more people.
So far these things seem better as a city hopper, or used in a rural setting, but the current ones don´t have the range for that either.
Even in cyberpunk these flying cars are only for big corpos and the rich.
And sending a space ship at a good fraction of light speed to a nearby star uses more energy than our total civilization uses at the moment. We’ve got some work to do climbing up the Kardashev scale before we’re anywhere close to that kind of travel.
Oh yeah, that time the USA kept lying about weapons of mass destruction found there and Washington not liking being called out by almost everyone.
Much greater models
It’s Musk, so the new model is simply “the more money you have, the more you receive”
And it’ll be used to suppress wages, because “you’re not making new stuff, just fixing some problems in existing code.” That you have to rewrite most of it is conveniently not counted.
That’s at least what was tried with movie writers.
Garbage in, garbage out. These logos represent the latter.
Lactose for me. No more cheese or ice cream or it’s also back to 6/day. Luckily there is medicine for the occasional treat.
Then twins walk into the airport and the system crashes.
And facial recognition has been known to fail with very dark skin so that’ll turn into a racial issue real quick.
Amazon of the “just walk out” shops powered by AI, that turned out to be s lot of Indian workers in the background.
We know what contributes a lot to developing autism. It’s pollution, more specifically small particle matter found in for example car exhaust. The same cars for which they’re now killing the environmental regulations.
Popular media doesn’t really investigate other ways of organizing society. It’s always the standard job, shop and money with only rare exceptions. It just swaps dollars with credits, uses hovercars instead of normal cars and calls it a day. Hell, they were shoveling coal into a reactor in Rebel Moon to power their space ship. I don’t expect that much from entertainment and can live with the black mirror doom porn. Maybe I give writing my own stuff another try, but I’m not a good writer.
Honestly I’m with black mirror. These days when a new tech appears, the mind immediately wonders how this will be abused it obstructed by other parties. That’s not the show’s fault but of what keeps happening in real life.
Black Mirrors shows the future, extrapolated from current systems and events. It’s not about new paradigms that might be possible.
It makes him feel like the big boss, without any rules or opposition.
