Good grief, 5.5p. who was it that mentioned a Santa Claus rally?
I think we're getting a bag of soot by the looks of it |
The globalists have been in the ascendancy using woke ideology to further their cause and the populist nationalists, who believe in the nation state and borders, are fighting back. Meanwhile our brains are still on the savannahs of Africa 50000 years ago, which is why most PIs lose money. Short term fight or flight thinking does not make for good investing, our main challenge is with ourselves. |
All very interesting.
Back to BIRD making us money, it's all about giving us freedom to buy the goodies we don't already have, but for me it's actually about having enough money to survive for the next 20 years.
So it's not about greed for me, I need that £6 per share to replace the pension stolen from me by the greedy. |

Winston Churchill...allegedly. |
haha, me too Hyper Al |
Wow, politics creeping into the BIRD thread.
I'm keeping out of this debate.
Let the BIRD fly and join the doves, |
Yes indeed, the Chinese social control system is nothing but communist totalitarianism.Although I don't suppose those who have suffered under fascist totalitarianism will appreciate the difference...As they say, power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely... Hence why democracy is so fragile and has to be protected because it's not the natural order of human affairs (human nature is greed, fear, ignorance and violence).Wow we've got a bit philosophical on here eh LOLBack to Bird maybe. |
cyberbub, I absolutely share your concerns. There is also the problem of assigning value to goods and services when they are produced in this future low cost environment. The Chinese experience is one of combining monetary capital with social capital, essentially conditional supply and rationing based upon behaviour and compliance.
Aka, Marxist totalitarianism. |
If we don't have UBI then who amongst the unemployed will have money to buy the goods and services provided by the AI Lords? A classic labour-based economy is unsustainable where AI and increasingly sophisticated robots can essentially (eventually..not tomorrow but you can see it coming) do 90% of what humans can do today. And once work has been taken away, there are only so many capuccinos people can buy and streaming movies they can watch. |

AI is getting a lot of input from ‘people’ so that’s a concern.
We also have a birth rate collapse
And we are going multi planetary |
Beethoven’s Pastoral was never the same. |
It would seem that at least three people disagree with you HB. |

part c of your post:-
Q. Once we reach sustainability, what is the fairest system of organising ourselves for the benefit of both the Earth and humanity?
A. Soylent Green - 1973
;-) |
In that case I don't think you understand how AI works. |
And the answers will depend upon who trained the AI. |
Questions to ask AI are...
What population of humans on Earth is sustainable?
How do we reach that number in such a way as to cause the least pain, and how long will it take?
Once we reach sustainability, what is the fairest system of organising ourselves for the benefit of both the Earth and humanity? |
cyberbub, do you think there will be strings attached to the UBI and if so who will be pulling those strings? It sounds like tyranny either way to me.
Let's hope BIRD gives us the means to rise above it all. |
The difference between AI and previous industrial revolutions (steam, internal combustion energy, computers etc) is that they took away the low-skilled jobs... Whereas AI increasingly takes away the high-skilled jobs, from graphic designers to software coders to radiologists and project managers... And it will mean that the wealth once controlled by graphic design companies and software companies and individual radiologists etc across the entire world will be hoovered up by the small band of ludicrously wealthy individuals that control the AI... The only way to avoid total economic disaster and tyranny is for governments to heavily tax the AI owners (who will still be as rich as Croesus) and redistribute the money as a universal income to the 80-90% who no longer have work... But will governments have the desire or even the ability, when the AI owners and US tech bros control the global political narrative through their social media platforms? |
