all your hopes and dreams lads, looking after the children, them going to college and stuff… nephew’s, nieces etc , passing on the house and savings, it will all be gone, the legacy. AI is the devil.

Can we not just didle over to the wall and rip out the plug? We’ll see how big the computer is then.
(I’ve probably just signed my own death warrant…not that ai will need a warrant)

You’ve survived 2 divorces mate. You’ll be fine.

Spice - was prevalent in the uk city centres before Covid.

[Juhniallio]

That is fucking grim as hell. Horrendous stuff.

Having said that, i did something similar to myself with mushrooms at electric picnic about 20 years ago.

I know 2 lads who weren’t same after head shops in Ennis introduced them to it

[TreatyStones]

I’d say this is different level shit to that stuff?

Universal basic income will end in blood on the streets.

Why do you think?

The problem with UBI is that the likes of @glasagusban will be able to turn yours off if you dont take some vaccination that the government say you have too.Stick to the trades lads.AI cant plaster a house or change a toilet.

[flattythehurdler]

Because it will become the new poverty line unless you decide you are going to live in a communist utopia, which doesn’t sit with human nature.
A combination of jealousy and idleness and the world will explode.

[Arthur]

Surely the worst will happen is things stay the same as now with that being the new poverty line as you said

[glasagusban]

I largely agree, it’d be very hard to get right. Nigh impossible.

[glasagusban]

Correct. We should use it to target the awkward squad.

[flattythehurdler]

Not if people in general don’t have work, which is my main point.

[Arthur]

Well create AI relief schemes building walls out in the middle of fields

[flattythehurdler]

Will have to do something. Or enforce sterilisation.

[LionelRitchie]

@flattythehurdler

enforce sterilisation

Seems modern western life is doing that naturally. For example, japan had 1million more.people die than born last year.

How many on the forum have matched or exceeded the natural replacement rate of 2.1 kids?

[horriblecunt]

I was surprised to learn that the Fertility Rate in India had been below the replacement rate since 2020.
Africa is the only real outlier, as most of Asia and Latin America are all below or close to replacement rate.
