I imagine a post-scarcity world where all basic needs are met for everyone on the planet without question, and with minimal need for human labour, and that more as technical overseers. People would be free to work as much or as little as they want at whatever they want for their own betterment, or the betterment of the world, or do nothing at all if they want, or whatever. Is that too much to ask?
And the sooner the better.
No. I don’t want them to starve when they get replaced by robots, which is the current plan, apparently.
Don’t even get me started on the wild and wonderful design ‘features’ on modern cars. Fucking hell, they want you to do anything but drive the thing and pay attention to the road.
Can you edit that to ‘braking’, and I’ll delete this comment, please? It’s breaking my brain. :)
And anyone that drives cars ever, apparently.
Morons works for me. ‘Gullible Twats’ if I’m being generous.
And any variation in the terrain.
I wonder how far a Cybertruck could travel on the electricity it took to generate that A.I. image.
I’m joking. It’d break down before it got that far.
Technological unemployment is only going to get worse without a plan to support the people being replaced by automation. They can’t just ‘get another job’. As long as the benefits of this stuff only goes to shareholders, it can fuck off.
They’ll be vandalised almost immediately.
I still reckon his only really good non-Tenacious D work was Nacho Libre. Everything else has been a load of saccharine nonsense. Even Nacho is kinda saccharine, but it at least has a whacky style to it. “Chancho, when you are a man, sometimes you wear stretchy pants in your room. Just for fun.”
Wasn’t there an imminent release of some movie he was going to be starring in or something?
There’s a fine line between poking fun at everything and being insufferably smug, and I reckon he’s crossed it a bit. The difference is forgetting to include yourself in ‘everything’.
Swimming With Sharks is such an under-rated gem.
Every rich and/or famous person now thinks they should be president.
Grumpy Harrison Ford For President!
Gotta protect the brand.
It makes them feel funny to say the word ‘Koch’.
I’m ok with people shutting the fuck up and disappearing when they get called out for being arseholes. In fact, I wish more people were capable of that.
I must have missed the latest Snoop Drama, but don’t bother to update me - I don’t care about Snoop. He always struck me as a dude that’s just constantly baked and will say yes to pretty much anything without too much scrutiny, so he can turn up pretty much ANYWHERE. That’s bound to backfire eventually.
I hope so. I dug up this old video I watched ages ago that articulates really well why they’re a bad idea.
