Nitin’s (not guaranteed) weekly dystopia/eutopia Substack:

1. Robots Are Developing A Sense Of Humor And Learning To Laugh At Our Jokes. Dystopia.
   In order to create a robot that laughs at our jokes, someone trained a robot to feel empathy. Do they think this is some kind of game?!

2. Engineered dental coating exceeds hardness of natural tooth enamel. Eutopia.
   Enamel doesn’t regenerate, and if you don’t care for your enamel, over time you’ll need dentures which means you won’t be able to eat solid food. We finally might have something that solves the enamel problem, which could help us eat solid, nutritious food forever.

3. Reactor uses supercritical water to destroy PFAS “forever chemicals.” Eutopia.
   Imagine if we could still manufacture yet not worry about the environmental impact of it. Seems too good to be true…
