New (AI-Robotics meat) processing facility planned for western South Dakota
"The facility will focus on bringing in and developing new technologies in robotics and artificial intelligence that will make processing easier, safer and more efficient. With these new technologies, they will be able to produce a more consistent end product." https://www.newscenter1.tv/new-processing-facility-planned-for-western-south-dakota
In the 1967 novel Logan's_Run, people are trapped on an AI run world, which is very efficient at keeping track of its human population and especially their age. Like animals on a farm, the human herd is cut down at the age of 21 by being put to sleep.
The 1976 movie Logan's_Run, provides a lot of additional plot elements and presents quite a different variation from the original story. People are trapped in a domed smart city and are terminated at the age of 30. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logan's_Run_(film)#Plot , https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074812

Star Trek: Picard - Season 2 Review
https://www.ign.com/articles/star-trek-picard-season-2-full-review
Some might see Picard Seasons 1,2 & 3 as just more filler.
https://www.engadget.com/star-trek-picard-season-two-episode-10-finale-130019681.html
However, there are a lot of entertaining aspects to this series. If it is just filler, its pretty good stuff.

Of course there will be some changes for S 3.
Thus, Season 3 will undoubtedly have more twists and turns.

It seems to be one thing when an actor plays many parts. However, if people in general are here for more than one life experience, that's really full of implications to ponder. VR might reveal many clues about the nature of reality. (TNOR)
