Why does this meth still persist? Do people not realise that you could be doing good but the government might not want you to?

Alas, laws are coming into place where large, centralized, social media platforms will be the only ones able to operate within the law.

“Copilot, change the wallpaper to a DSC20260512.JPG.”

“I’m sorry, you can only change the wallpaper to images generated by Copilot!”

“Ok, change the wallpaper to a picture of my Daughter Graduating.”

“Sure! Here’s a picture of a young woman graduating set to your wallpaper.”

“That isn’t my daughter, my daughter isn’t a blonde white girl with massive tits, please change back to my previous wallpaper.”

“Sure, here’s a picture of a Scottish Glen.”

“My last wallpaper was a photo I took of The Flying Scotsman, also that picture of a Scottish glen has an offensive stereotype of a Scottish Man fucking a sheep while drinking a bottle labeled ‘Buckfast and Heroin’.”

“Here is a picture of a Scottish Glen.”

Then they also spent a good amount of time attacking abortion and contraception.

They just don’t want you to customise your computer in any way, huh.

Soon you’d be prevented from changing your wallpaper.

and hanging over us are greedy shits who are pretty openly fascist (reform)

I mean isn’t replacing community with consumerism one of the main goals of modern capitalism?

And who told you this?

The billionaires. Straight up.

Yes because the amount of money being generated by a small group of people and the amount of money we will need not only to support AI but also the masses of underemployed and unemployed people it will create would require it if we maintain a capitalist-ish system that relies on AI and robotics for everything.

Because here’s the thing everyone seems to get wrong. Money isn’t like firewood, that’s something the establishment want people to believe so they can excuse defunding healthcare to fund subsidies for their friends. Money is like electricity. On it’s own sat in Scrooge McDuck’s Moneypit it has no value, but when it’s spent, that’s when it creates value.

That’s why small businesses are better for the economy than big ones, because when you spend a tenner at a small business, it’s more likely to be spent right afterwards, for example, to pay their workers, who then pays the babysitter, who then pays the take out who then pays the supplier. That tenner was spent five times and thus created £50 worth of value, whereas if you just spent it at your local Tesco, chances are that tenner goes to the CEO’s bank balance and stays there, not creating any value. Money that isn’t being spent is money that doesn’t create value. Billionaires aren’t billionaires because they make money by working hard, they horde money by using a small amount of their stash to collect even more money, and that money doesn’t get used. This is why Trickle Down Economics doesn’t work and never will because it takes money out the system.

Now when the amount of money being spent in an economy is low to the point that ventures can’t operate properly, that’s called a recession. It’s why central banks and governments try to get the economy going by putting some of it’s own money into the system a bit like trying to get a power grid back online in a Black Start. If the “energy” in an economy is being horded in the bank accounts of an evershrinking collection of people rather than being put into the economy, well, eventually, we’re gonna have an economic blackout (recession). This is why Billionaires are terrible for the economy, because they take money out of the economy and keep it for themselves, producing a net loss to the system. If there’s less money in the system, there’s less value being created.

The Solution? Piñata economics! Make the billionaires put money into the economy to the economy doesn’t shut down. Now the Billionaires and their allies have overthrown nations for suggesting they pay a little bit more Tax because they use money as a way to control people and maintain power over their countries and/or interests. This is why Capitalism is more a Political system than an Economic one. The solution, me thinks, would be to turn to the billionaires and say “You can only a maximum of £1 billion in your bank account, if you make £100 billion, that year, you will have to spend £99 Billion. If you still have over £1 Billion in your bank account, we take everything above a billion so you end up with £1 Billion again so we can spend it on things like infrastructure.”

If the Billionaire doesn’t want to give their money to the government, they can give it to charity or spend it on whatever they want. If they spend it, it creates value (which is good for the economy), if they give it to charity, those charities will spend it on good works, which is good for both society and the economy. They could spend it on their business (which will create jobs and thus, value) but if they don’t, let’s say they have £2.2 Billion in their accounts, the government gets £1.1 Billion to spend of infrastructure projects, healthcare, and Welfare, all of which will help the economy because Infrastructure allows for economic activities, Healthcare means people can create value and people on Welfare can buy things like food and shelter which, guess what, creates value because they’re spending money.

If billionaires are going to make money without employing humans and thus, take more money out of the economy, they should pay more in taxes so the bloody economy doesn’t grind to a halt.

oh don’t worry, “The Invisible hand of the Free Market” will do that for us,

If AI replaces workers then capitalism is no longer possible. What’s the next step here?

When Capitalism replaced Feudalism, the elites of the Feudal society became the elites of the Capitalistic Society. When mechanization replaced workers, we saw some horrific conditions where the elites made loads of money while workers did work that was long and backbreaking while living in poverty.

So what I would imagine is a load of people working long hours for doing the few things AI and Automation can’t do for a pittance while a small group of tech oligarchs make loads of money.

Agreed. People think British food is dull because they’ve not seen what British people have as a treat. Cases in point:

England

• Roast Dinner with Yorkshire Pudding.
• Melton Mowbray pies
• Cornish Pasties.

Scotland

• Haggis (yes, I’m citing this, Haggis is actually fucking delicious and versatile).
• Cullen Skink
• Shortbread

Wales

• Welsh Cakes
• Bara Brith
• Glamorgan sausage

Northern Ireland

• Fifteens
• Paris bun
• Gravy ring

That’s not even getting into the weird shit like Scottish Fast Food or what we’ve done with immigrant cuisine. Fuck, if you want a tour of Britain, try a fry up in every home nation because other than Sausage and Bacon, there’s a different spin on it in every home nation. People shit on British cuisine because they shit on Working Class food, or food people have when they’ve just come home from work and need something in their stomach. Beans on Toast is what people have for Lunch when they need something quick and filling, Mince and Tatties is what people have when they have mouths to feed. I don’t see Americans having home-fried chicken every day or making Clam bake or something, why would we have full on roast dinners every night?

The only thing that varies is the type of football. Looking at you America, but I think that is going to change very soon.

GAY HOMEWORK

This, literally the only reason I could guess is that it is to teach AI to recognise childporn, but if that is the case, why is google going it instead of like, the FBI?

How long until the USA institutes Sakoku or something like it?

What, you think that’s a new thing? You think people weren’t dumb fucks in the 1930s? The 1830s? The 1730s? Human life is temporary, mass idiocy is eternal.

Isn’t that what they said Movies would do to you in the 30s?

Imagine hating an online Preschool teacher

Any you’ll forget about it in about two or three years.
