Can’t confirm. When I was young and hanging out in online chat rooms, I regarded the others as real and experienced a full range of emotions toward them. They were my acquaintances, friends, crushes, or enemies. Definitely didn’t see them as NPCs. If I had, I would never have had such strong feelings about any of them.
But that’s just me. Others’ mileage may vary.

I see no dragonslayers in this age. Only dragons and prey, and most of the prey worship and obey the dragons.

Not only the money, but also the rapid worldwide collapse of peaceful civilization. This is no place for an innocent child.
People are still getting married and having kids?
They want to stop NVIDIA chips from entering China? Good luck with that! China is where they manufacture the circuit boards containing those chips! Sure, you can halt the supply of NVIDIA chips to China, but not without putting NVIDIA out of business.
You’d think they’d love it if everyone worked from home, then. Don’t have to pay for office space at all if your employees are already paying for their offices.
That and you can decorate a cubicle. Individuality still exists in a cube farm. In an open floor, you may as well be a Borg.
Millennial here. I only briefly worked in a cubicle, when I was young, but I liked it as an environment. Not sure why the previous generation hated them so much.
I remember there being an uproar about folding screens developing visible seams after a while. I would consider that a failure.
Unless your folding phone also has a physical keyboard and a serious non-toy operating system, I fail to see how it can practically replace a laptop or desktop.
If I want a bigger screen, I’m reaching for a laptop or desktop, not a phone with a self-destructing screen. I expect my gear to last at least 5 years, preferably 10.
So, the people you have in mind don’t believe in free will? Isn’t that kind of un-Christian?
And if they believe that humans don’t have free will, then what’s the point of all the “SINNERS!” and punishment and threats of hell and whatnot? None of us are in meaningful control of our actions, so trying to coerce us to change those actions obviously isn’t going to work.
Also, if we’re all inherently evil, then we’re all going to hell regardless, so this whole religion is kinda pointless, no?
