Coronavirus thread - 19/10/2020 - The Day Ireland Died

It’s a Mickey Mouse lockdown.

This thread has taken a very dystopian turn

What does level three entail?

Throw in driverless cars and a few other jumps, like everything being delivered by drone.

I worked for most of the major tech multinationals in the last 10 years and they haven’t even got their head around cloud computing yet

Yep 100%

Computers have already taken over. Because we all watched terminator 2 we expect them to launch nukes, but it’s just more nuanced. They have instead used social media to turn people against each other and destroy meaningful society. But most can’t see it as they scroll through the Kardashians latest story. Checkmate.

Computers have been supposed to put us all out of a job since they were invented. Yet here we are

We were also supposed to be going for weekend trips to the moon at this stage.

Driverless cars have been coming for 20 years etc etc

We’re locked. We’re down but not out.

No matches for my Under 9s so we’re stuck doing gym sessions.

In fairness, the economy finds ways to fill peoples’ with meaningless jobs that don’t really benefit anyone.

Sure what’s the point. A big dusty rock. Amsterdam would be better craic for a weekend.

Better atmosphere in Amsterdam alright.
