    Goodness me. Big bro really IS watching me! Except I am not on 'github' and 'nomads'. Those are other nomads. I really expected you to turn up many nomads. But what about the content of my post? Did donny's (un)Truth Social really post that?

    If you've got nothing on.....

    Well thanks. The don does like to take his work home sometimes, doesn't he?

    P.S. This content has not been factchecked.

    I should have posted this on the Artificial Intelligence thread because it shows a positive facet of A.I. Great to see Truth Social speaking truth.
  6. nomadpete
    Well it is also possible that Donold commissioned a replica of the Resolute Desk. Maybe. But if he did, I think it would probably have more gold leaf on it.

    Did anybody cry out... "Stop! thief !" ?

    I'm softening my view on A.I. After all, at my level in the world, it seems to be simply a new development in the interwebbything. By itself it isn't stealing jobs, just rearranging jobs. And rearranging the playing field of the oligarchs. Real job stealing will be done by A.I. empowered robots. They will breed a new bunch of oligarchs. And the plebs will either starve, or maybe supported by universal subsistence income.

    Steady on old mate. I was one of those nashos, and I can tell you that I would never want a bunch of ignorant young mob (like I was then), to have any say in governing our country!

    The coo-ee march, and the glorification of the war..... The thousands dead.... The futility of wars..... The lack of understanding - that the young cannot comprehend the concept of sacrifice... What do you not understand about the sadness of it all?

    Who cares? Other folk's proclivities are none of my business

    A long time ago, I said "Home is where you hang your hat". Remember, the only home you really own, is your body. I never did understand why some folk believe ther is anything sacred about the place you were born.

    What's this? Prime Minister Whitlam? What has happened to our fearless leader?

    Had raw cheese once in the south of France. Wonderful stuff. Of course, dealing with the cryptosporidium for the next month or so was shitty.

    Yes Jerry, BUT.... I think OME's point is that S&P 500 reflects the profitability of those businesses ($), without reflecting actual physical useful produce. The financial situation is no indication of overall wellbeing of the masses. Are they fed any better when the economy is (to quote the orange muppet) "The BESTEST ever!"? No. It only tells me that the investers can now afford bigger yachts.

    Well, OME, the graph represents important data on Artificial Intelligence. That's why I posted it here. But I do see your point. As yet, I haven't heard how they intend to pay the power bill that all those data centres will run up.

    This chart was referring to USA jobs markets compared to S & P Quite a trend.

    Right on! There are so many possible doomsday scenarios, it is impossible to doomproof oneself against all of them. The reason humans didn't go extinct from any of the many previous doomsdays, was resilience & adaptability.
  22. nomadpete
    That's how I view the desire for eternal economic growth. Sort of borrowing from the future, to pay for the past. But again, I see no way to protect myself from a POSSIBLE collapse of the economy. There are many many possible disasters. Therefore, beyond being aware of it, there is no point losing sleep about it.

    Well, speaking as a minnow in a big school of fish, I do not see any practical way to protect myself from this particular armaggeddon. If only I was a $billionaire....

    I confess to being completely illiterate when it comes to economics. Are you likening the world economy to a pyramid scam - which, like all pyramid scams, is destined to implode after a few get ridicularly wealthy from it?

    Google doesn't need you to select it. They are quietly scraping your every click, or view. Thats how they can target you with information that entertains your interests. Or target you with echo chamber reinforcement.
