    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.

    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.

    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.

    Don't you mean 'Aloominum'?

    Aha! So, google is ono ya! This man is clearly a Roosian commonist spy!

    Maybe so. But I'd believe his money and media will always be popular with certain people. Remember, he still has lots more moolah than Gropenfuhrer.

    I didn't notice this little gem on our MSM news, but it shoild have made headlines a while back. Funny how things change quietly after the media has finished using it.

    Speaking of which, our mate Poo hasn't been in the news lately. Could his end be nigh?
  24. nomadpete
    Oh, good! Does that mean we'll all live forever?

    Hey guys, the thread is not about the well known advantages of roundabouts.... The end is neigh. And that's from the horses mouth.
