Had to Google this one: Richard M. Stallman.

I am missing what the author thinks the "right" kind of AI is.

Clearly AI can be used for creative purposes, and technology has indeed disrupted memory and attention span.

It will however be the way forward so it might be better to envision a future in which AI is used positively and work towards that instead.

Have you ever been very ill, or ill for longer periods of time? My guess is that much of a fear of death is a fear of the unknown, and a fear of unknown suffering.

People who have been deathly or chronically ill have less fear of death than those who have been healthy most of their lives, partly because they know suffering, and partly because death can be promise of a future relief rather than a punishment for them.

I agree that many topics are hard to explain to a five year old, but ELI5 can be very helpful in forcing people to simplify their writing. Many people explain things in an unnecessarily complex way, and ELI5 at least makes them think about the target audience.

I still believe that for the masses (think console gamers and pc gamers without the gaming rig) cloud gaming will be the future.

I've been playing fps/rts/rpg games through GeForce Now on a MacBook M1 and so far there's few obvious drawbacks - good internet required, slight input lag which can be annoying for some FPS games sure, and not all games are available yet - but for those who only play a few games regularly, it's also much better than running the game on an i3/i5 Windows laptop.
