Utopian Wasteland
Welcome to the Utopian Wasteland. Here we discuss the convergence of AI, Robotics, Automation, and more. We’re looking at the big picture. How will all this change our lives in the next 5 to 20 years? (spoiler alert: immensely! Good and bad.) We work to stay factual yet also analytical. Everyone needs to know this info. You can ignore technology, but it won’t ignore you. You can’t just look at AI alone and make predictions. You also have to look at robots, automation systems, self-driving vehicles, medical advances, energy tech advances, and more. They are all connected. As an example, yes, AI will eliminate X number of jobs. But then, you add in jobs replaced by robots, then automation, etc. and the number grows exponentially. After that you see medical advances curing aging and creating a population that may well live to 200 or 300 years old, potentially. Maybe, maybe, much older yet still healthy as a person in their 20’s. You see the complexity? Will we be living in a utopia, or a wasteland? The more we know now, the more prepared we can be for inevitable change. You need to know. Your friends and family need to know. Our government leaders really need to know and be called to action to prepare. This has been called the fastest moving technological advance period in history. The world is not ready for it. We’re Shawn Barit and Cody Barit, a father / son team looking at these changes from the perspective of two generations. We gather news from all over and then put it together into short podcasts for you to think about a little at a time. We are a mix of straight news and very casual conversation. Maybe too casual. You can find links to every source we use in our YouTube posts of these episodes so you can come to your own conclusions.

Who wants to live forever? According to survey’s, only about ⅓ of Americans. However, many would like to live longer or at least live healthier. What if you could do both, and in time, maybe for hundreds of years or more? Today we’ll talk about medical technology advances that are trying to not just extend life, but cure aging as if it’s a disease.
Remember, you can ignore technology, but it won’t ignore you.
So, this week is some recent news that concerns the US government use of AI and questions about what they are planning. Then we look at some AI CEO's working directly with the US Army.

When you think of farming, you may not think of high tech things, like AI, robots, self driving vehicles, drones, and such. You’d be mistaken though. These technologies have been making some their earliest practical appearances in the farming industry. Today, we’ll talk about that.
Tech is changing farming as we know it, for better or worse. It will make farming much less expensive in the long run, but will also reduce the number o...
Big Picture: There is so much truly great tech coming our way that will improve our lives in ways we can't even fully imagine yet. However, this same tech has a high likelihood of replacing most jobs currently done by humans. This could, could, happen in the next 10 to 15 years. Maybe sooner. Maybe a little longer. Is your job on the list?
In this episode we look at what jobs are already being replaced and those most likely to be r...

If you haven't noticed, we have jumped over the line separating science fiction from science fact. In this episode, another example... the large number of bipedal robots that are either already in production and for sale, or will be within a year or so. These are, of course, in addition to the large number of both rolling and stationary mounted robots that have been in work places for years now.
This episode is a bit of a laundry l...
