Neuralink. I can see it being the next huge ground-laying technology like the internet or smartphones. Imagine developing apps for people to use in their brain, it's next level. But probably 20 years away.
Wow this is so naive… how are they gonna define who is an artist and who is not? Why taxpayers (who may not care about art at all) should pay for this? Why a government can define that this specific group of people should get some grants, but not for example teachers or Uber drivers? Utopia

They won't.

Who would? Would you?
> Why a government can define that this specific group of people should get some grants
Because that's what governments do.
> but not for example teachers
Teachers have regular incomes.

The hurdles to be a taxi driver and an Uber driver are mostly the same, so we mostly don't have Uber drivers. We have taxi drivers instead, who also answer Uber calls when they want to get exploited while they enrich someone else.
The way things stand, what they are fighting for is more like a "non-dystopia." A utopia would actually need to lead somewhere new... but at the moment the powers that be have tried absolutely EVERYTHING to stay in power and they ran out of options. This is their last bet (or rather - their last bluff - as I don't think they will make good on their promises).
most devs will take whats given or just ask for lowest possible
alot of people in the dev community never negotiate on a thing
