I'm very interested in hearing what people think the world will look like in the not-so-distant future, with the advent of advanced AI / automation. What will the world look like when most jobs are being done by robots?

@MarieleRedclaw @TheGriftReport His show is like watching family court if the judge just said, “Fuck it,” and let people go off.

@SheSaysBadWords @TheBaconFather The answer to this is always no. Those who enter that place are never seen from again; lost to the crushing weight of irrelevance.

Story time...

I spent some years living on a horse ranch in Florida; the real Florida, not the coastal vacation bullshit. We're talking wild animals and meth and wild animals on meth. Anyway, our little ranch was pretty quiet except one night my dad was out on a date and in the hallway our greyhound and border collie were both going absolutely fucking nuts trying to get into a bedroom.

So, we open the door and the dogs burst in and jump on this opossum. The thing does the whole dead thing, which is actually a nervous system shutdown, like the fainting goats.

I didn't know what to do so we call my dad. He tells us to put it in a pillowcase and take it outside, so that's what we do and we wait a bit watching out onto the porch where we left the thing and eventually it wakes up and wanders off.

Dad comes home later and I tell him what happened after the call and he sits in his lazy boy, lights his pipe and delivers his dadest of jokes. "If you can go opossum hunting, without leaving the comfort of your own home, you might be a redneck."

I don't know why your meme made me think of that. 😅

@JonnyMicro @Jexxie Yes.

@Gunnerklein75 @cavannastan 😞 sorry, il tonk, no pew pew for you.

A contractor may get every school contract. That would depend on the ability of other contractors to complete the work, the time frame, and the bid price. I’m aware of no jurisdiction which states that the same contractor can’t be used multiple times.

SpaceX, as example, has put more satellites in space than every country and company on the planet combined. They’re able to do the work, they do it routinely and for the lowest price. Who was getting “NASA money” before SpaceX? The Russians.

Why doesn’t Blue Origin get all those contracts? Because they can’t deliver. They’re years behind SpaceX, and now even further behind since they lost their only launch pad. Where else are those contracts supposed to go?

Tesla benefited the most from EV incentives. Ford could have, Chevy could have, FCA could have, but they didn’t revolutionize the EV market. Musk did, and he took the lion’s share of the risk involved. Were those incentives to benefit Musk personally? No, they were intended to push EV’s into the mainstream under a climate agenda.

His companies have gotten tax incentives, which don’t come free. All large employers get them from local or state taxes, in exchange, they provide a large employment pool and higher income to the area. Is it better for a county to have an empty field or a Tesla factory on the same land? Obviously, the factory. That’s more revenue for local schools, state projects, etc. Even if the factory itself doesn’t pay property tax for some amount of years, it’s an enormous benefit to the local jurisdiction.

He revolutionized online commerce, the automotive market, the space market, he’s currently revolutionizing the medical industry… Yeah, when you’re on the leading edge of the changing world, you reap the benefits of providing such a unique and best service to people.

You could just say thank you, and leave your envy at the door. That is an option, you know.

[Fitz @RSFitz]

@Iget2bme72 @NBCNews So, if a contractor builds a school, and the county pays him for the work, that’s a government “handout?”

@AlexanderTheus @RobProvince @ElectionCenter_ Ok. I guess I can’t help you then.

@woodypanama We advertised it as a weapon against little people. They assumed we meant dwarfs…

@AlexanderTheus @RobProvince @ElectionCenter_ No idea, I don’t survey all the memes on the app.
