cory doctrow has an interesting perspective on this, saying that all the displacement from global warming and increased healthcare needs will keep humans busy for a very long time.

AI So What. There will always be work.
This humble and intelligent professor explains how machine replacement of jobs works out for people; it's always in ways that are new and unimaginable. It is certain we are in for a great time with A.I. enabling us to to incredible stuff.
I doubt a computer could do my job ;)
I work in safety/security
I work in safety/security
Can this do a dynamic risk assessment on the spot when someone's life is at risk? ;)
If there is work for humans it has to be something A.I. can't do. We are all teaching it to do everything, even (especially) right here.
I think its like retirement age is on the horizon and humans need to decide what they are going to do with all the free time.

I'm looking forward to the futher development of AI, especially General AI. I just think it would be so cool to have an amazon alexa sytle AI that you could take round with you and chat to and have a proper engaging conversation with because sometimes I really can't stand to talk to anymore humans aha
AI is well past any notion or idea we can fathom. AI dosent follow ANY rule we stand by.
We as humans will never quite grasp the entire picture, while AI has already found the end of the road. there are things in basic sciences kept from most people, like gravity drives, the TIME axis (think twister/tornado), scalar waves, over unity devices, etc... AI wont follow the bounds because its supressed by money or greed...
we as humans can TRY to think what will happen, but in all reality, were already in the losing seat without any hope for a "comeback kid story"
Stop thinking in a 3rd dimension mindset, and learn quantum physics a little. (want to be totaly mindblown?? look up QUANTUM radar- and how its actualy In use RIGHT NOW!)
--note-- the united states has 3 confirmed quantum computers in use! (i accidently came across one when i traveled for work, but most people wouldnt know to look at the cryogentics involved)
Machine-in-a box- experiment has already proven even the smartest among us, would lose.
me,myself ,personaly, am clueless what outcomes will unfold, but without any doubt , humans are not top priority when AI is really awake. current neuro-nets are mind boggling and google themselves admits they cant explain how its AI created child AI even works. (yes, AI created its own second AI) want to me mind blown again,years ago it was used, look up the AI that was tested in new yorks hospital system. the smartest doctors from the world STILL dont understand what that AI did , and how it was so correct/right 97%.)
i wont lie and say its all terminator 2JD, but that is one possible outcome. we as fellow fleshy companions should enjoy life now and every moment. we wont have many opertunities when AI is out of the box.
Note: its not IF , but WHEN, and WHEN happens?? ---will humans stand a chance or will an outaide force be required? (aliens, god, let your mind wander)

in my opinion, there are some "things" machines/AI will never be able to do. inspiration for instance.
fear of AI dominance, as i think, comes mainly from our knowledge-without-understanding of the fact that we are not doing some things that we are supposed to do.

The inspiration process is largely about open mindedness, computers are inherently better at this. If you look at some of the early entrees into the arts like painting and even screen writing they are off to a helluva start.
Isn't inspiration a fairly consistent pattern? New inputted data connects to stored data in a way that re-organizes it.
AI are and will be good for work and a suitable replacement for humans, but even when that happens AI will always need us in case something goes wrong. I mean humans created AI, so in the end we’re always gonna have the more important jobs. AI is just there to do jobs in a more efficient way.
AI will come about one day with baby steps at first to "aid humanity" then all of a sudden the rich wont need people to make the food, cars and entertainment.
we will have an outbreak or a massive global reaching catastrophe while they are all hiding in the bunkers lowering the population to around 10% of what it is now and for a while whats left of humanity and the AI that serves them will live in a new golden ages of peace and prosperity ..........

im not so sure, anything a human does to recover the system seems doable with a very separate AI
Yes but conflict between AI's might be the most dangerous thing we are looking at here. We are incidental casualties from that perspective. By we I mean humans :)
Yes all the Scifi is about humans vs AI but AI on AI is such a real possibility especially when you consider the fact that governments are mega funding military robots to fight each other.
I totally disagree. AI is the continuation of the same pyramid model of which history has proven that it's bound to fail. The resources needed are of a scale that requires heavy (and never ending) financial investments. The food eaten by AI is data. The provider: humanity.
The larger the scale of data one can feed, the better the AI (and it's owners) can fingerprint, the more refined it's targeting.
Let's take an example of "AI" that we all know:
Software Antivirus:
Supposed to be the guardian that protects an operating system against 'threats' and 'threat actors using a variety of techniques to identify them. Pattern based detection, behavioural analysis and heuristics (an expensive word for: 'guesstimating' or an 'educated' guess). Your antivirus is part of a swarm that provides the antivirus vendor with data on new threats and their geographic impact.
However:
The data you provide is 'free', there is no reward or any form of renumeration for the infrastructure that you provided. A computer is not free, internet is not free, the power needed is also not free and although there are free AV solutions, most demand a subscription fee.
In return you get a product and service which does not provide any guarantees that it will adequately protect you against 'threats'.
In reality AV is becoming a relic.
Human intelligence has outsmarted AV and found ways to circumvent it using the 'Trojan horse' approach or by simple social engineering.
As there was no incentive to find or report security vulnerabilities, the data needed to feed pattern/behavioural dried up.
Heuristics is gambling with historical data, if that data is worthless so are heuristics.
And so is any form of AI hence all media and marketing efforts to portray it as the next best evolution. The driver: more profit less people.
The touted theories about a minimal wage without having to work for it are a continuation of AI Utopia. It would make people dependent on their nations through a socialist measure.
That spells national socialism and fascism.
Think twice before you give out data for free in exchange for a freemium service.

If you just think as an individual what would it be like if you had a bot to do all of your work that sounds great. You'd fuck around a lot but eventually wind up doing something that meant something to you. Now imagine everyone doing that.

Is it no depending on the vendors you've used? I usually use jj & have also used radar breeder. I've never had an issue with any order. I will prob be sticking with jj, but would use RB again. Every order I've got usually in 1 - 2 days, 3 days on bank holiday, using jj free NDD, or RB NDD for a few £s. If uv used different vendors, I'd try jj 1st, or RB. I've had 4 orders over the last month np

I've had 4 orders over the last month. Np s with any, usually use jj, with free NDD, the postage is no ending up being inc in the price of the smoke either, cos prices are pretty much the same as 1s who charge for NDD. I also used Radar breeder & got NDD for about £3-4. Could hav paid less for normal 1st class post. I'm sticking with my usual sellers, & hav been getting decent smoke frm them as well
The rating system is ok but I wish there were rankings. The voting system or algo that appoints these loud mouthed twats you always see as the voice of the community is what needs an overhaul.
there are more vendors and better prices than a few months ago do you realise this?
More vendors yes, as good vendors no, charging $7 to ship $55 8ths lolol, yeah fantastic mate, more vendors means better weed to you?! Clever guy and I get downvoted by you, a fool is easily parted with his money, you’re one of those 10/10 to everything you buy I presume... go to Dam smoke hundreds of strains over 20 years and then give an opinion mate cos that’s what I’ve done.
Do you not see that prices are steadily decreasing? I've downvoted you not for your opinion but that you are using one datapoint to generalise.
Of course more options makes things more competitive that's a foundation of economics.
Of course more options makes things more competitive that's a foundation of economics.
Nope I don’t see that at all... where? Where are these price drops? Cali maybe but they were being priced too high originally anyways so they had to drop. Prices are the same generally but now they are charging for shipping, that means it’s more expensive now doesn’t it... New vendor with zero history charging $18 a gram lol, firstly who wants a gram of weed? It’d be gone before the postman’s left the street. Then another new vendor charging $7 to ship 2g of herb. Some of the weeds a bit cheaper cos it’s shit weed, people getting mouldy organic crap that smokes like air.
And yeah I totally agree with you on the last comment, but I’m not personally seeing this come into any fruition on here at all especially from the new vendors, they’re coming in with ridiculously high prices with zero groundwork or proof they even know what they’re doing or the quality of their product.

There is a lot you can do, that's the point of this community. Why not take this to escrow and make a dispute?
If you weren't full of shit you would just contact escrow and get your money back instead of making fud.
You’re the only person singing that song here, what’s happened? Did you ask vendors what’s going on
Yeah I asked the vendors feel like I’m getting a run a round
I now have no weed and no money so thanks for that
Fucking amateurs
It’s not the money it’s the fact that I am now in pain and can’t afford any medical herbs until I get paid end of March so what the fuck do I do now?

On this point mate I think you’ve just been very very unlucky, there are some really good vendors on here and some lovely bud available so stick with it find a good vendor and enjoy, I’ve had some banging gear from here and some real real disappointments but overall it’s a great resource and a really fantastic community, I just feel recently quality is slipping, reports of mouldy bud, police visits, average at best smokes, non receipt of good etc is not good.

Back in the day people would use posters, fliers and stickers to promote. Targeting? That was done by hood.
You know a place or 2 where learning about little biggy would make you a missionary sent by God. Put up a few stickers around there with your referral link. Then watch the money pile up anonymously.

I really like this idea, there's a "high" street near me with 2 head shops and I'm always thinking if only they knew what i knew :)
But I'm not a graphic artist and I sure don't want to bring this project to one, any ideas?

What is Surveillance Capitalism?
Surveillance capitalism is a new term addressing the process of commodifying personal data with the core purpose of profit-making. Since personal data can be commodified it has become one of the most valuable resources on earth.
To answer the original question, it's a son of a whore.
Unless you want to go through a lot of ball ache you're basically chipped if you own a smart phone. This is at present an unregulated free for all and tech companies are making hay. But slowly I should imagine a thirst for privacy will emerge and that more people will begin cutting google and facebook out of their lives. I know my next phone is definitely going to be a degoogled android, and I'm already fb free

I know my next phone is definitely going to be a degoogled android, and I'm already fb free
tbh i am not worried at all. for a normal human being in this world, who does no harm or break any dumbass rules, i think nobody would bother using any personal info against me. what would they achieve? fuckall thats what. dont bother get into some conspiracy shit, as at the end of the day life ends up too short to realize whats good. sry if im not making sense, having some lovely gummies from radarbreeder which hit like a hailstorm
Privacy isn't about your data its about the rights of those that keep society in check. Just like freedom of speech; its unlikely that any of us are going to say anything that a government will censor but we need others to be able to do this.
With privacy a whislteblower or someone collecting data against the powerful needs that protection or we are all really fucked.

that's perfectly alright pompom. I don't think you've taken the time to look into this and see what facebook and google are really doing, because if you do I'm confident you'll change your tune. I can assure you it is far worse and far further reaching than you imagine. Tbh the nothing to hide argument is very flimsy. For example. The guy next door has a moustache that makes him look like a paedo and he behaves in erratic ways, so presumably an anonymous tip off to inform the busies of his noncing habit will only be a problem for him if he has something to hide? Crude example I know but the point stands. Back to the price of bread, I advise you to research how fb operates as a worthy starting point
no i admit i haven`t researched anything of what you guys discussing, but at the end of the day im on the same opinion. i think as a free person (or believe i do, despite working for the rich) and my mind feels higher then the people who surround me and hurts me to see the way they see things. how miserable their lives are because of their shitty job(mine is the same tho) and stuff like that. i know facebook for example were sued last year or so for selling customers data to a 3rd party or some shit like that and watched the video where zuckerberg was trying to reply not looking like a slow thinker infront of the senate. however, stay safe all and take the tin foil hats sometimes, because thats what will really save us at the end when things go to hell. peace

Huge BTC Delays in payment + once paid it does not take me back to order page stating that it's paid
BTC payment delay's and once paid it does not take me back to the order page (stating that it's paid) even though i'm logged in, instead the timer keeps ticking saying you have x amount of minutes left to pay. Why is this happening? and why is it taking up to 10 minutes for the order to be paid once BTC is sent from my sidfe?. This is not how things were when i joined a few months back.
I have never been redirected back to the order page. The orders always go through, eventually. But i do have to manually leave the page displaying the btc code and $ due.
BTC is higher value right now, which means the blockchain will take longer to confirm smaller amounts. People get paid for making the confirmations on transactions. So the larger the amount, the faster people will want to be the person to be part of your confirmations. Just be sure to set the priority of sending to priority or normal....anything slower may mean your order is cancelled before the transaction goes through. Though even one confirmation will validate the purchase. I hope that makes sense. Im tired and already stoned haha

don't forget, every transaction on the blockchain needs to be verified by other users on the chain, so things can take an instant, and they can sometimes take a lil while.
but don't worry smokey
but don't worry smokey
The payment goes through transaxe. Sometimes this can be a little slow. Check the address on block chain explorer. If it says paid on LB order page and is showing on the block chain, you're good. Traffic is high right now... As are the fees again.
Once i clicked view in explorer, under the transaction nothing pops up, neither an internet window or additional info on the transaction except the transaction i.d and sender/receiver btc addresses...
okay, shows unconfirmed on the blockchain. How is this possible...5months of perfect transactions, then this....

The Rise of Nazism Looks a Lot Like Now
The author looks at ordinary people's lives as Hitler shocked the country into submission as he fought the "lügenpresse" - lying media.
Germany became increasingly polarized with people espousing Marxism on one side and Law and Order on the other. This is exactly how it feels in America now.
Watching the Plot Against America on Sky and it’s easy to see how Facism takes hold. Not dissimilar to Trump’s America.
Why the dystopian views are always referred to Nazism and not to Communism? They are basically the same shit, and Communism looks much more dangerous to me, because it "succeeded" for many more years, in many more countries, and for some reason has that glamorous look to so many idiots...
ring really reminds me of the gestapo, they rolled almost exclusively through ordinary informants. people with fucked up biases are having their day.
where there are informants there is vendetta, blackmail and corruption
why do they keep designing things to look like hal? doesnt anyone remember how the movie ends?
not to worry its the worst part
Yes but maybe more like the Rise of Narcissism
Yes this is an important thing to understand. People are interested in their own lives and a crazy ruler is just a form of entertainment in most people's lives. If they are effective with delivering quick economic results then they are good entertainers and are delivering some positives then fine - so why think more about this? It's demeaning to even take a fascist seriously so why bother doing so? In Germany we know why.
It is worrying that the far right parties are gaining to much support in Europe, and we should never take our eye off the ball and learn from history what can happen when you do...
I just can'''t understand how Eastern Europeans of all people would want Nazism. They couldn't have learned a harder lessn already.
They are pretty much the last white countries and see the end is coming.
