AI is a bubble that will burst within a year or so. Every person using it for free, or paying $200 a month or whatever, is being subsidised by the billions (trillions) of dollars being speculated on the investment market. All the AI companies are running huge operating losses and are not disclosing their profit and balance sheets. At some stage the true cost of infrastructure, power, water etc has to be passed on to consumers. When we have to pay $2000 or $5000 a year each for our AI subscription guess what? We will realise that we don't need it so badly. The whole thing will crash.

Some states require engineers to be registered, so they need their qualifications to be recognised. Although I have worked on design/construct projects in Queensland in the past I could not do so now as I am not a Registered Professional Engineer Queensland. (not that I want to!). I the UK you can do your own house wiring.

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy

In the last 60 years we have been told many times that the minerals industry is in decline and that some new industry is about to take over as Australia's new domestic and export industry driver. It has never happened. What happens instead is that investment in exploration and mining is discouraged and the investment returns from mining go flat until the next "boom". The main result of this has been that domestic investment is driven out, and foreign owners gradually get control of Australia's resources, because they are nimbler in reinvesting when conditions improve.

I'd like to teach the world to sing

I think any car pre about 1984 is ok as they have no computer on board. My house is a greater threat as my vacuum cleaner and pool robot could rise up against us.

Norco's the name for purity Nothing beats Norco brand Butter with wholesome goodness Fresh from Norco's dairy land.

I hope they have the chants. I love the chants, timed to the hammers hitting the rocks.

Too much mass of metal per person is every electric Toorak Tractor taking kids to school today.

I always wanted a Chev ute like that but am now too old and lazy to take one on.

I have a single wind on the way out too.
