@donmcgowan It's an attempt to take away from the real story which may or may not be related solely to the Ukrainians and Kier Starmer. The real story is here but hey look over there at this enemy we Keep telling you about. Classic.
Well China isn't on a war footing but I'm sure that there is a healthy respect of capabilities between both sides otherwise why not overpower China? It's never that simple if you're similarly matched is it? China has different weapons, I believe they have hypersonic glide vehicles which would cause a huge problem if it came to that. The "my dick is bigger than yours" isn't where I was going anyway.
If China stopped sending all its goods to America that would be a massive shock. Because they produce much. It's a symbiotic relationship. So there's not a real prospect of any significant war imho.
If energy, research, material processing (rare earth etc) are aheard and AI catching up... All the signs are pointing to china getting ahead, sorry if you don't like it. I just try to be a realist.
I think you misread what he's said and talked about. It's simple, do you let people walk into your home uninvited? No.
It's nothing to do with skin tone. As others have said its about integration of those that are here legally as well.
Don't also forget that Rupert is probably the only person with different idea to the majority of politicians and that's why he's under attack. He's rational on business and how business operates. Control is the opposite of growth. He wants the freemarket to grow Vs the ongoing current of control that is being forced on us.
Get real, a controlled society is EXACTLY that. If that's what you want take yourself and go do it elsewhere. Controlled societies was what the liberals of 50 years ago, the American founding fathers, the brave ones who fought for the magna carta were trying to prevent! And now you want the new European version of the soviet union. I'll definitely pass.
@farzyness@LoopOnChain By the time you've spent all that money and effort getting the platforms setup in space those "Green" AI tokens will cost how much? - I can't see it adding up to a win tbh
The problem is although you may dislike their approach they make sense and are obviously successful at what they're trying to do.
If you look to the other side which wants to control everything so that nothing gets done, human freedoms are lost and countries stagnate to death then go right ahead.
Some have likened the European union to the USSR, as the top power structures are unelected and make questionable choices.
Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys.
I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint.
Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality.
I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths.
White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral"
You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.
@GeoffWrigh3712@RupertLowe10 The BBC was once seen as the gold standard but today are you not seeing the distrust?
There is no smoke without fire my friend.
"Power made me a coat.
For a long time I kept it at the back of my wardrobe.
I didn't like to wear it mach, but I always kept good care of it.
When I first started wearing it again it smelled of mothballs.
As I wore it more, it began to fit better and stopped smelling like mothballs.
I was as afraid if I wore the coat too much someone would want to take it or else I would accidentally leave it in the dojo dressing room.
But it has my name on the label now and it doesn't really fit anyone else.
When people ask where I found such a becoming garment, I tell them about the tailor - Power - who knows how to make coats that you grow into.
First you must find the courage to approach him and ask kim to make your coat,
and then you must find the patience inside yourself to wear the coat until it fits."
Yours is waiting :-)
@MichaelAArouet The simple explanation is Americans are used to cheap energy and so have never prioritised energy efficiency. Simple. Also having access to more land at a reasonable price means I suspect that Americans have more space to heat or cool than average Europeans.
Grok response - Yes, humanity's freedom is legitimately at risk from widespread robotics and advanced AI, but it's not inevitableโand the most probable near-term threat isn't a sudden "AI overlord" singularity but concentrated power in the hands of builders, governments, and corporations using these tools for control.
Humanities freedom at risk? - if robots come into widespread use what is to stop them from keeping us effectively enslaved? By that I mean either AI overlord or perhaps more likely the builders of the robots using all levels of technology to subvert real human development.
The market is also the most happy to jump on the bandwagon of profit (10x talked about for anthropic I believe) than ever before. In market terms the SNP 500 looks very steep recently which means potentially high volatility in BOTH directions and sentiment seems to be about right for that.
@JamesMelville Probably the most beneficial and radical might be to create a neutral stance with regards to foreign policy. A recognition that we need to stop pretending we can tell everyone what to do and focus on good trade relationships with everyone willing.
@farzyness Are you sure China is really behind trying to engineer a civil war?
For 1. I thought the USA and western intel has had a monopoly on media, social media etc.
2. Our own social media does a fab job of helping cement people's biases.
