    now, my views as a finnish person may not have much weight in this discussion but in my experience trump does authentically have higher popularity until you get up to category of +60 year old women who overwhelmingly would've preferred clinton of the males in my own age group I am yet to find the first one telling they'd have liked clinton over trump

    [..] Prominent people seem to fear AI (http://time.com/3614349/artificial-intelligence-singularity-stephen-hawking-elon-musk/),

    Absolutely not, the machines wont rise up in rebellion but instead be good little germans when the owners instruct them to clear the streets of rioting, now unemployed, starving serfs by any means necessary

    Billions would die *BECAUSE* the machines didn't rebel against orders to commit wholesale genocide

  4. Computers don't understand 2+2. They perform the operation by moving electrons from one place to another, ending in a pattern that humans interpret as 4.

    Is there "understanding" if the computer arrives to the conclusion by simulating brains at a physical level using same functions organic brains do?

    I mean human brains are machines, after all and not supernatural by themselves in any way. Just couple magnitudes higher in complexity than what we can currently build

    this is the same thing they said about MOTORS — that they would save us from having to do all the labour and free us for other things — what actually happened is that they made us work just as long — with 10x the horsepower coming from machinery to leverage the higher profits made possible by the machinery.

    Except there are a LOT more horses than riders, and this time, the horses have guns.

    They can remotely shut down all infrastructure, gasoline powered cars with manual steering will have been banned from civilians.. and they have 24/7/365 nuclear powered, armed drone presence over any resources they control, if you leave cover to search for food or drink the drone spends one round of self guiding small/rifle caliber ammo depending on estimated armor on target.. A small group of such drones can take down a regiment of men in seconds in an open field and in matter of minutes in semi forested area

    You never get close a target worth shooting with a rifle

  15. solar powered autonomous drones

    I see the flaw in that plan already.

    Violence is already more common under cover of darkness. Drone bases will be the first to go, along with their operators...

    Right, since we're already decided on to perform genocide we might as well go full on for nuclear powered drones to gain immunity to environmental variables..

    And there will be so many drones you'll never get no where close to even figuring out where they're based, if you leave cover you're dead

  18. In the gap inbetween you will find people out of work choosing to live on benefits rather than seek work. But the majority of people will have a good reason (education, retirement, family choices), and the number of those people increases in a society with a better standard of life.

    I see you have never visited Finland, there are hundreds of thousands of people on benefits who want to work, cant find any, but aren't counted as unemployed because their benefits are reduced/terminated if they don't enter some govenrment programme which changes their status from unemployed to "studing" or some horseshit

    They can force you to work for free too, you make full days of work for months and get paid peanuts by social office..

  19. Look up the difference between labor force participation, and unemployment.

    Lie, bigger lie, a govenrment statistic.. There are hundreds of thousands of people getting second and third degrees(subsidized by government) because they can't get a job but they aren't counted in that 7,3% rate but they would take a job if one was offered.. Also just because they aren't counted in that doesn't mean they don't get 100% of their income from other taxpayers in form of social welfare.. Meaning their effect on economy is still the same as if they were counted as unemployed.. Its nothing but a trick on paper

    If you're excited by the prospects of automation and AI and all that good stuff, you better come to terms with a massive increase in the social welfare state, because there is no other option.

    What do you mean no other option? They can do to us same we did to horses when car engines became a thing.. Number of horses globally peaked in 1916 and If you today want to see some you need to specifically go out to see them or buy french or romanian beef..

  22. and yet Finland's life satisfaction rating is up around 98% (compared with the US's 78%).
