What if Amazon sold TTS voice packages that can read any novel in your catalogue? "Hello yes I would like the James Earl Jones voice package and every Star Wars book ever written please." But the existing audiobook storefront still had only audiobooks read by real people in it, protecting their jobs.

You seen the Black Mirror episode where she makes a robot of her dead husband?
People need to process their grief and move on. It's important. You use AI to create a world where people never grieve, you'll create a world that never moves on. Never improves. Stuck in the past, trying endlessly to recapture something that doesn't exist in the present and cannot grow in the future.
There's an AI tool that lets you talk to your ex. You put in your chats, it creates an AI of your ex, and you can talk to them, even date them. Thing is, it's a business. They want your money. They're going to exploit you sooner or later. Imagine how much bigger the market is with lost loved ones. Capitalists should NOT be selling love. It's dangerous.
Let me rephrase the issue for you and see if you have a different emotional reaction.
A person's job was replaced with a capitalist's robot, and now the capitalist earns all the money.
The Devil invented Heaven so they could send all the annoying Christians there

Nihilism is the brain child of philosophy
But so is existentialism, absurdism, cynicism, and whatever Nietzsche was on about, which all refute nihilism.
This is soulism
Barry has standing in that destruction of natural habitats in the area surrounding his hive has impacted his colony's ability to thrive. His colony is a victim of colonialism. If he can prove that his colony is descended from an earlier colony which cultivated plant life in the New York area that was deforested by humans, then he may be able to argue that his colony is owed a certain amount of land. Charging rent from the human businesses on that land so he can buy honey, Barry would be able to supply his colony with enough honey to get us to the end of the movie's plot.
It's a little more complicated than what we actually saw, but the logic is sound.
Well I'm ace, I hate 99% of those songs, and I hate birdsong.
8 didn't do any retcons. A retcon would be "actually Snoke isn't the main villain, he's just a clone created by Palpatine." 8 was perfectly happy to play nice with all the facts established in 7, and then have Ben kill Snoke as the first dramatic climax of the movie. 8 gets to have two dramatic climaxes because Rian Johnson is a brilliant filmmaker.
When I first got into D&D I didn't know what edition I was playing. I knew there were multiple editions, but I couldn't find the edition number. The box just said Dungeons and Dragons.
It was 4E, and I played multiple other systems before I finally got into 5E.
I also got back into the game after a long hiatus and it's fun. The new story stuff is great. One of my friends had a similar reaction to you to The Second Dream, but there's a 2016 quest called The War Within that really fleshes out and redeems that writing choice and now my friend likes the Second Dream reveal.
This post is mostly just complaining that putting the new story quests in front of the old story quests breaks continuity.
