Why I had to give up my post as Chief Investments Futurologist in the Vampire Squid Blood-Funnel Division of Goldman Sachs*
All life choices will be made for you by a handy-dandy AI implant nestled in the hollower regions of your skull!
Early experimental proof-of-concept versions, focusing on various sub-programs of the intended fully-orchestral finished product:

Also, complete planetary field-coverage of voice-to-skull/tactile-hologram-tech will give you something to listen to and play with whilst plunging into your newly-embarked-upon path in life -- wherever in the world it leads you!
Battle of the V2K bands:
Some vids chosen quasi-psychically using the beta synthetic hyperintuitional Choice-O-Lizer program, which is available in brain-implant or suppository form (only trial will tell which modality is the most effective avenue of approach):

* Goldman has (in)famously been described by journalist Matt Taibbi in a 2009 Rolling Stone article as "the great American bubble machine" and as "the world's most powerful investment bank. . . a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money."

Some especially cynical critics of the firm's influence characterize the Executive Branch of the U.S. Federal Government as one of its major ongoing investment-management projects.
From the New York Times, Nov. 14, 2017, "Marty Chavez Muses on Rocky Times and the Road Ahead":
[Marty Chavez, Goldman Sachs' CFO & chief of cybersecurity, remarked on an] arcane topic . . . the efficacy of judging Wall Street firms on their return on equity, a measurement of investment banking performance long favored by industry research analysts
"Here's what's great about return on equity," he said. 'It includes the notion of profit, which I think is really important."
"I'm not paid or evaluated on the accuracy of my crystal-ball predictions . . . I'm paid to enumerate every possible outcome well in advance, when it's still possible to do something, because once it's happened it's too late.
. . . . Goldman's in-house software, "SecDB" [Securities DataBase], an internal, proprietary computer system . . . tracks all trades that Goldman makes and their prices, and regularly monitors the risk the firm faces as a result. [Goldman's business model is dependent on cutting-edge AI using cunning algorithms to spot and exploit opportunities to invest or speculate; to this end almost one-third of its 35,000-person workforce are engineers.] The system generates one and a half million data points used to calculate, for the first time, the firm's 'liquidity coverage rate' -- now 128% -- which is shared with regulators daily. [Chavez] uses this to figure out how newly-generated data helps understand the firm's liquidity a year ahead.
"We're able to get much better actionable insights that make the firm a less risky business because we're able to go much further into the future."

Yes, the world of the future will be run on a purely rational basis, lovingly managed by responsible and forward-thinking technocrats -- under their benign despotism, all silly superstitious fears and traditional folk beliefs based on fantasies about "individual free will" will be nixed once and for all, replaced by an enlightened and benevolent mass-corporatist groupmind. . . and things will finally run [i]like clockwork![/i]
