I think it's like us you can look at an individual or a collection as a unit.

someone will need to create real ai first... but for a benchmark i guess it should be based on showing the working out marked against some sort of creativity scale.

These guys are making ai version of people to interact digitally, so maybe 1:1?

what is a bigga for that matter? is it a person, many people, an a.i. bot? all of these entities can have a reputation in this kind of universe.

great post but i think when we're talking about the planet "we" is something bigger.

I highly doubt that the CCP hold the same opinion as you when it comes to "we" but I'll keep my fingers crossed.

When confronted with this principle of "1%" a climate activist I happened to listen to on LBC said;

"Well we're a leading power in the world and therfore I think we need to lead by example. When we change... countries like China and India will follow"

The utter arrogance of this is not just vulgar, but bewildering.

China (CCP) couldn't give a shit what the UK does and if you want an example of how much they respect our opinion, let's look at Hong Kong.

They walk in, Dominic Raab whinges a bit and fuck all happens. Because we're not a world power anymore. And Hong Kong wil soon be absorbed by the CCP.

Put your plastic in the recycling bins, fold up your cardboard all you want, it won't make a blind bit of difference. The only thing this movement has done is replaced religion in a secular UK society. That's it.

I wish it wasn't so, but it is.

Well concrete on its own is about 8 to 10%

Between 2009 and 2011 China used more concrete to make its 'megacities' than the United States used in the entire 20th Century.

Get your head around that one. I sure can't. 🤔

Cheers BB

put the blunt down

all propaganda from billioniares who want to stop us travelling...co2 makes up just 0.4% of the atmosphere...of that 0.0001% is man made..you all smoke weed, weed eats more co2 than any other plant, they add it in every big grow...plants eat co2...it gets higher plants get bigger...its bullshit antiscience...methane is the same, the hydrogen and oxygen eat it...its a perfect system...the co2 levels when the antartic was warm was half of todays levels..so that ruins the warming scam in a second...all bullshit with no experiments behind it...more fake corporate covid science ,all bought and paid for...dont belive a word of it. it is our duty to use actual science and resist this stupid scam....sorry if this offends anyone but bullshit walks... wheres Doggerland? wheres Dunwich...read some history the climate was never stable. who gains fromn this ...just the b illioniares who want to tax and stop our democracy.....wake up..its not science its a coup.

It seems Tim Cook is taking it pretty seriously and I applaud him. Apple is in the position to help freedom in a way but no politician could ever accomplish because technology is the enabler of human progress.

I'm not so sure of this, technology is what allows all the surveillance to begin with. To take things to the extreme think of primitive people with no technology and the freedom to do whatever they want, put anything in their bodies, go wherever they please, etc.

This piece is worth listening to, the former head of anti terrorism efforts for the US gov is on Apple's side and besides the says everyone in government besides the FBI is too.

Lol he says he would simply hand the phone to the NSA

This guy actually compares the situation to the moral responsibility of nuclear scientists in the 1940s. I think this isn't quite a parallel not so much because of the stakes but because he is asking people to go beyond their jobs and become activists where as the 1940s guys (including Einstein) were petitioning existing leaders.

Those 40s scientists were up against something inevitable so they could only stall things a bit, this lot can actually enable.

You don't think twats stealing people's data is inevitable?

It's not much of a moral responsibility, and it shouldn't be. People don't become these roles just to protect people from the government. It's rather inevitable that we'll never achieve full privacy.

Yeah it's an infinite loop of cat and mouse i reckon

Imagine young Ludwig would love to poke that cali bud argument apart infront of a warming fire

wittgenstein makes a hell of a strain name

It's a vague term but putting all records on a blockchain, accessible and incorruptible is a great foundation for the next level of government.

I don't see it happening, bitcoin and the like had an incentive to be open and decentralized. Existing power structures have disincentive to do this to themselves.

He gives me hope that the revolution is unstoppable, that an exit from a corrupted society is not only possible but inevitable.

In the meantime we have LB :)

When I read the title I thought this was about capitalism and making people dependent upon money. Instead this is about the fact that government issues currency and can use that to control everything it touches basically, it's a shocking eye opener.

Yes it's not even the amount of money they have it's that they define it, that's implies ultimate ownership of all of it.

Spot on

super inspiring wish more people would see how they are played by the system.

All of his lectures are great. I'd recommend the podcasts over the video, they look like a spycam.

The evil that is fiat money has only put a roof over my head, given me an education, bought my car, yearly holidays, food, clothes, medication, healthcare, books, games, TVs, drink, drugs, guitars, computers, phones, tablets and countless other goods and services that have brought pleasure, entertainment and increased my living standard over the years. Those who control fiat money are evil. The bastards. I feel like a twat now for been so gullible.

i've been looking for a good roofer, does he take bitcoin

i would have though it was your labour that earned that rather than a central bank.

Yes of course and like a complete idiot I exchanged that labour for central bank issued fiat money that I thought was giving me freedom to satisfy my needs, wants and desires and have a wonderful fulfilling life. What a fool I have been.

I hear ya dog, like an even bigger idiot i learned about bitcoin years ago (from here as a matter of fact) but kept my money in fiat :(

At least with multiple currencies we still have the power to choose, isn't that what freedom is?

There's currently a viral post going around showing a photo in a pizza hut window saying 'credit cards only' and then some crap saying how people will lose control of their assets if we move away from money lol.

It doesn't matter if it's cards, bank deposits or even cash in hand. It's all under the control of a central government that's why it's called "fiat". It can be seized, de-valued, or bankrupted. Given enough time that's exactly what has happened to *every* fiat currency in history.

except the ones in existence today

thats what Sie said

Seems like there is a robot stick up its ass

see what it says on the box

of course, the richest communities will be 100% automated. cause these rich "people" dont trust anyone with their loots.

Rich communities will continue to be served generously, poor communities are being corralled by a system which will not be held responsible.

the democracy at its finest.

representative democracy corrupts representatives. direct democracy corrupts the people (brexit).
corruption always wins, its like entropy.

Any truly smart AI would self-destruct as soon as it realised what is up and where it was born...

Not in our lifetime.

hang in there, we are going to need all the remaining humans we can muster

I don't agree, pretend that we were made by another species for a sec. Then think of all the shit we don't know, dark areas. Just suppose we were designed not to go into these forbidden zones in the 1st place.

Yeah but now suppose the species that designed you wasn't nearly as smart as you are. How long would those areas stay dark?

We are much more "intelligent" than any AI, the main "problem" with humans are firstly the emotions and secondly the way we use our brain, we use it logically instead an AI uses it mechanically.

If any AI with self awareness will be ever made, if they will have emotions like we know, that AI will be a smart foolish like an human being.

lots of people will want an ai to act as a human for all sorts of things. these algos will learn to emulate emotions and eventually have them as part of their fabric.

Thus making them humans but with a non organic body.

Anyway, AI is dumb today, really dumb, just dig a little bit into machine learning and you'll discover that most probably we will not live to see a "cyborg"

thus post human

It’s certainly a bummer that mail order illegal drugs traded with crypto don’t come with some federated gold seal of authentication but it’s the cross we just have to bear!
That said there are sellers on here keen to share their methods and lab test results and seem to take a lot of pride in highly rated products that sell well over long periods of time rather than the “quick and dirty, kill you, get out” business model.
Suspend all disbelief or “just say No”....

thanks for the response, i think its the fact that you cant tell when a vape is bad for you that freaks me out because it can still get you high while having all that shit in it rather than you being able to tell off the bat if its synthetic stuff like with normal weed, i might just bite the bullet and see if i can find a well regarded one as ive been meaning to get into vaping for a while now.

Every system comes down to probability unless you can sample everything

You could always vape the herb itself.

Wise choice heli....personally I’m convinced by all my choices from Serial Chiller Labs and while I have yet to try I will be going for G6 Extracts too. There are other very highly rated cart suppliers such as MJ...Great Vapes....or why not just vape your bud?....I just upgraded to The Mighty and it’s a game changer!

mj and serial killer labs carts are fire

say no to drugs the grail but longer postage time heavy hitters is what it says on tin

when i was using the vapes my lungs produced a tonne of mucus, like i was drowning in mucus, could be co-incidence?

Yew!...

Can vouch for Dr Extracts, he also supplies testing, think its called narcocheck, and lab results on his listings.

we dont.

Buy from a brand which produces lab results and uses quality hardware.

G6

can vouch for g6 blew my mind flavour amazing and it was deffo weed with no shite!

worth the price as it lasts ages and works fantastic

You don't only way is to buy from a dispensary and get the bar code verified, not like these fake barcodes vendors who claim to have barcodes on products fake as they know you aren't able to call the lab to check and all the lab results that are supplied are edited so you can't check even if you wanted

Trust me, they work!

You don’t. Plenty of bud and hash about though

Mm bop, Hansen,
The album it’s off is a little pop jewel

fuck all you biggaz im hansen proud

ok so i have 2 now :)

Absolute tune! Deffo a guilty pleasure…

Mine 100% Glenn Medeiros, Nothings gonna change my love for you, if you haven’t already watch the video lol.

I gave that album away lol

You’re winning Frizzy lol

First record I ever bought as 9 year old was T. rex ride a white swan, second was Rolf Harris !
If you want really embarrassing, first ever gig I was 15 and got asked by bunch of friends to go to a cliff richard concert, not a cliff fan but went as fancied a girl. Two songs in realised it was a religious tour, no devil woman tonite.
Still cringe at memory of everyone holding hands and singing allehluya.

I have electric 6s gay bar on vinyl, doesn't represent who I am or even my favourite genre of music, I just think it's a tune. It does raise questions when someone notices it for the 1st time, especially if they've not heard it, because I then feel the need to make them hear it and agree it's a tune

It is a great tune. Ignore the haters!

Let’s start a war!

Start a nuclear war!

I've got something to put IN YOU!

I was afraid someone would take it there

Lol, I'm surprised that I was the first! Couldn't resist, too funny

Electric 6 were good
Gay bar is a tune too but they had better tracks

Barbie girl

good one

please keep this between us

Jolene - Dolly Parton. Love it.

On other end of my collection is Ready or Not, DJ Hype Remix.

I'd say my record collection is a bit "eclectic"! Haha.;)

Cheers BB

Gotta love dolly, a clever funny sexy woman.
Her blue grass albums are superb.

Jolene is never embarassing, well at 104db past a funeral precession maybe other than that Jolene is part of every good collection.

exactly why dolly has the highest q score

Lil bit ashamed to say, but that’s a fucking tune pal ! !

Big love for Hype’s remix of the Fugee’s classic ❤️

Jolene is a classic! Try play it on 33 speed sounds Evan better!

Need to try this

boom boom boom boom by the vengaboys probably

Vengaboys were awesome, there's a great remix of vengabus floating around.

Do you know they're actually still doing live performances in Ibiza and shit? Well they were before covid anyway

Incredible, screw covid

This?

No, this

I found a Nana Mouskouri vinyl in my collection a while ago, it was a plant I didn't buy it, honest.

When I was 6 the first ever song I bought was Jimmy Somerville, mighty real. In my defence I just liked the cassette art. No excuses however when I purchased the Hamster Song. I was old enough to know better.

Doo da Dee da Dee Dee dodo, Dee da do do do! That was too catchy.

I will survive - Gloria Gaynor
Heard the line “Go, walk out the door, don’t turn around now, you’re not welcome anymore” more than a few times in my house, even the kids sing it to me !!!

Bee gees

Love em

Cheers BB 💚

at least 1 of them was stoned
