The tragic garbage avalanche in the Philippines is a notable reminder that we are already living in the future of Idiocracy, a film that opens with The Great Garbage Avalanche of 2505.

Also… why is the floating Great Pacific Garbage Patch no longer in the news?

Bacteria spin rainbow-colored, sustainable textiles
In the future, clothes might come from vats of living microbes. Reporting in the journal Trends in Biotechnology, researchers demonstrate that bacteria can both create fabric and dye it in every color of the rainbow—all in one pot. The approach offers a sustainable alternative to the chemical-heavy practices used in today's textile industry.

Guangzhou is quietly becoming a blueprint for sustainable cities.
The Chinese megacity has transformed urban living with vertical gardens replacing concrete, parks built over malls, and green spaces woven throughout. They're prioritizing clean transit and renewable energy while proving dense cities can actually improve quality of life.

2025 Highlight: Guangzhou Shows a Potential Future of Clean City Living - CleanTechnica
Looking back on 2025, my trip to Guangzhou in November was one of the most eye-opening experiences. I knew that the media portrays a distorted and outdated picture of China, but I really didn't grasp how much until seeing it with my own eyes on this latest trip. While visiting, my wife and I frequently talked about how it was like visiting the future. Everything was relatively new, even compared to when a friend was stationed at the embassy there a little over a decade ago. Technology was every…

Man we are so living in the future. I just had an insanely productive session with AI agent. Code written mostly by the agent and me just guiding it through what I need. It's incredible.
Over Thanksgiving I was talking to a relative about the AI and they were saying how it WILL all change our lives. I couldn't help but think how much it ALREADY has changed our lives and we just take all the changes for granted. It's here. It's doing it.

Giving up territory in Ukraine is giving up on the people living there, their children and their future. Within the EU their future looks great, under russian dictatorial rule their future looks bleak. So don't talk to easy about changing borders and giving up territory.

What does it tell us that AI scrapers are ignoring the more intelligent way of scraping data despite all the indications towards it?

Stop crawling my HTML you dickheads - use the API!
One of the (many) depressing things about the "AI" future in which we're living, is that it exposes just how many people are willing to outsource their critical thinking. Brute force is preferred to thinking about how to efficiently tackle a problem. For some reason, my websites are regularly targetted by "scrapers" who want to gobble up all the HTML for their inscrutable purposes. The thing is, …

Living Off the LLM: How LLMs Will Change Adversary Tactics
In living off the land attacks, malicious actors use legitimate tools and processes already present on a system to avoid detection. In this paper, we explore how the on-device LLMs of the future will become a security concern as threat actors integrate LLMs into their living off the land attack pipeline and ways the security community may mitigate this threat.

Giving up territory in Ukraine is also condemning people living there to live under Russian rule, a harsh dictatorship with limited freedoms, no room for opposition, bad economy etcetera. I don't think many people prefer Russia above living in Ukraine as part of the EU in the near future.
