AI and robotics will transform our world.

So now they’ve sent in the secret police, who simply ignore people’s rights.

This may date me, but I’d much rather ask a person a question than google something. Because there’s a connection when you talk to people. Google is isolating. That said, Duolingo and my translation app use Spain Spanish and I need Latin Amer Spanish. What’s a good app? Bad Bunny said we had 4 mos!
