  • Exactly, and a lot of people find it hard to swallow, but we should absolutely want the best and most able people as our MPs, not just the people who were born in to wealth and have nothing better to do.

    That means if a great scientists, doctors, business men, engineers etc etc need to be tempted to become MPs rather than take private sectors roles, then they should be. To me this means the salary must be very attractive and I’m fine with this also meaning “no second jobs”.

    Inb4: “yh, but being an MP has prestige, it’s worth more than money!!!”.

    How many people do you know that do a job for the prestige of it? How many banks accept prestige for their mortgage repayments? Money is the bottom line and if you want more talent and less Jacob Rees Mogg, you have to pay for it.





  • Well there is a difference and the horrific nature of the discussion doesn’t mean it’s one that we shouldn’t have, leave alone ban people for wanting to discuss.

    One is sick in the head, one has acted upon their sick thoughts. One could possibly be helped before they commit a horrible crime, the other needs to be prosecuted.

    AI is in it’s “biplane” stage, just as people in the twenties would have found it hard to comprehend the future of commercialised flight or a man on the moon, people struggle to imagine the future of AI.

    AI is the very worse it’s going to be today, in the grand scheme of things, it’s only going to get better.

    Hard disagree.

    The dot-com burst would be worst case scenario and I think that’s a long chance.

    I understand that some people hate AI or that they feel threatened by it, but I can only imagine that those who say it has no real value are either being facetious or have extremely limited cognitive capacity.

    Computer hardware isn’t like a cars engine, it doesn’t get knackered after a 100,000 miles.

    If the hardware has been working for the last ten years, there’s every chance it will go another ten years. Hardware is at much more risk of becoming outdated/obsolete than it is of becoming faulty/broken.


  • I believe it is likely that there will be a burst at some point, just as with the dot-com burst.

    But I think many people wrongly think that it will be the end of or a major setback for AI.

    I see no reason why in twenty years AI won’t be as prevalent as “dot-com’s” are now.
