Don't forget "Loss-Leading" GB News. Which is a billionaire funded disinformation pipeline.

I like to think that the inevitable UBI will create a richer society. I would still play music and work with trees if I was sorted for cash.

Yeah, back at you, why do you keep pointing out only the wronguns who are black? I didn't see you being righteous over the recent, racially motivated rape of a Sikh woman.

That's actually funny, bravo for that! This is my point - that the vast majority of people are good people. It is disingenuous to tar everyone with the same brush.

The influence of Christian nationalist ideology is described as more insidious or institutional rather than overtly violent in the UK context. Night Dave.

Ha, you quite literally just asked me to post some facts up on another thread. You are tapped, Good night. ROFL.

Lol.

I think that if we didn't have to worry about a roof over our head and a secure food source, people would still choose to do useful things. Something is going to have to be done. There is member on here, @Welshfred who put me onto an excellent book called "The Ministry For The Future" - in that there is a section that describes how we used to think that everyone would ultimately have a better quality of life, then at some point the billionaires decided that they would just hoard their wealth instead. AI is going to change things and the people running the show have no intention of sharing their sweets.

That is not my problem. If I was in charge of things I would have a Universal Basic Income, which allowed everyone to thrive, but I am not in charge, and wouldn't want to be.

Nigel Farage backtracks on Reform UK’s promise to cut £90bn of taxes claiming proposal had been an ‘aspiration’.

Dent, as in The Late Dent, Arthur Dent?

Okay, I will slightly venture there. If you have a dataset, it used to be the case that you needed to hire people to interpret that data. Now you don't need to. You can prompt an AI to do the work. AI programs such as Perplexity - for research, Chat GPT - for realtime image recognition, and Claude - for creating bespoke AI agents, means that things are rapidly changing. With a bit of thought you could have an architectural company on your telephone. No staff, no offices, just tech doing whatever you tell it to.

I won't go into detail here, but the implications and adoption of AI in the world of civil engineering are mind boggling.

I shouted at a traffic warden who gave me a ticket next to the hospital, yesterday. I reckon his surname was "20 goto 10". AI is a seemingly a useful tool. I was a little on the fence as I had thought it mostly useful for admin based jobs. Caught up with some old friends over the weekend and one of them is now making a living advising construction/architectural sector on AI.

Grow up.

Having worked with trees for the best part of 20 years, I think I'm good. Thanks for the concern.
