The reality of an AI future is front-line workers will continue to be paid minimum wage. Middle managers, administrators and clerks will become unemployable beyond taking the seasonal jobs picking fruit the migrants used to do.
There will be no middle class.

Then there be revolution.

β€œThings will be free”, so Andreessen is predicting AI will usher in an era of socialist nirvana.
Methinks that’s not what the capitalists will use AI for.

I’ve been sucked in before but have always been able to use the credit (which, by rights they didn’t have to give me). The fully-flexible-no-deposit option is only a few bucks more and worth every cent for the peace of mind.

Hopeful always of peace but nearly all involved in this β€˜deal’ on all sides are incompetent, deeply compromised awful human beings determining the fate of so many desperate people only as an ancillary benefit to their criminal objectives as war criminals and organised crime bosses

Buddhist monk sexually assaulted girls at Melbourne temple, trial told The head monk of a Buddhist temple, Naotunne Vijitha, has denied sexually assaulting six girls at the temple in Melbourne's south-east.

No matter the religion; you can’t trust them with kids

β€œVijitha pleaded not guilty to charges of sexual penetration of a child & committing an indecent act with a child under 16. The Buddhist monk is accused of luring 6 girls to his..quarters & sexually abusing them”

Oppositions don’t win elections in Australia.
Gummints lose elections.

Google search for "austria hungary in space"

Google excitedly tells you about the 1889 orbital flight, and that by 1908 there was a Mars research output with 30 people.

I understand the well-deserved grief being heaped on the Riyadh comedians but sports people have been laundering the reputations of these murderous regimes for years now, and they get a free pass. How many people in Australia turned up and tuned in to Liv X in Adelaide?

I’ve traced my family back to Ireland, Scotland and England. The English didn’t keep any records about indigenous Irish people because the English are fucking English. I’m not keen to do the dna thing.

It’s not just SA. Whites fled democracy across many African nations. They remain disaffected by democracy and desperately want their power back.
