  1. Re:Sooner, or later on VC Founder Predicts AI Will Take 50% Of All Human Jobs Within 10 Years (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Utter rubbish. The industrial revolution caused plenty of economic disruption and social unrest. Never heard of the Luddites?

    And that was despite the fact that there was a kind of safety valve - dressing them in red and sending them to Bongobongoland to shoot all the darkies. It's considered a bit rude to do that these days.

    Yes they would - the robots.

    It's already possible to practice flying in simulation, then get some manuals and learn how to actually start up a plane, then stroll onto an airfield someplace and steal one since so many of them have basically no security.

    Like 9-11 and Peal Harbor, that might work. Once.

    It's a strategic error to be frightened of cannibalising your own sales. Your competitors aren't.

    You rather missed the point there...

    No, I don't have to look at anything. The rest is airy-fairy drippy-hippySJW nonsense.

    So you're a low scorer. Get over it. Maybe you've got nice hair or something.

    And tests are not realy compareable between countries/cultures etc.

    Not sure what that's intended to mean.

      If it means you're at a disadvantage taking the test in a language you don't speak then "well duh!".

    Advertisers were successfully bullshitted into believing that their brands would be tarnished by appearing next to "offensive" videos.

    Did you see the list of companies in TFS? For at least half of them an association with Nazi terrorist puppy mulchers would improve their image.

    The big irony here is that Boris is of Turkish descent. Perhaps we should have pulled up the drawbridge a bit earlier.

    The level of insight to come up with this isn't something you can learn. You're born with it. It's a gift.

    Diving natives away from the UK certainly won't help.
