Humankind is a plague on this planet...and a much needed culling is in order.

I'm thinking at least 90% of all humankind needs destroying.
Even a 50% cull should set us all back to the ol' hunting and gathering times.

It would literally be a breath of fresh air for the entire planet without sounding too doomy and gloomy.

Sounds like a good time for a civil war! 

Quote from: Biggie Smiles on April 10, 2026, 09:00:27 AMFor starters, by 2035 at the latest these technologies will either destroy life as we know it or make it so unrecognizable for the vast majority of us that it might as well be destroyed. This is an unavoidable fact.

I am deep in the industry where these technologies are born and raised and can tell you with first hand certainty the drivers behind these technologies (the world wide elite class) will use them as a tool to rid the world of the rest of us. It should be no secret to any of you that to them we are a burden to the planet and an impediment to the continuation of their blood lines.

they're really not even being secretive about it anymore.

Do you think for one second society will end because AI becomes self aware and suddenly pushes a button? That's just naive and probably suggests you should put down the terminator movies for good.

No no.. our own greed and mental and physical laziness which social media has been designed to fuel will have us fighting each other to the death for scraps and morsels LONG before AI wipes us off the map.

Elon Musk said it best himself

Elon Musk predicts that within 10 to 20 years, advancements in AI and robotics will make traditional employment optional, leading to a future where "universal high income" supports people. He suggests that work will become a hobby or a choice, similar to cultivating a personal garden, as robots handle most labor.

Universal high income with nothing to barter for 8 billion people in various stages of technological advancement? Seriously? C'mon... this guy is far too smart to be saying shit like this as he well knows there is a hairline between THIS environment and socialism. And we all know he's staunchly against socialism.. but he just happens to be for an outcome which flies in the face of Capitalism and a system of value through trade that has existed for thousands of years?

No no

what he means when he says there will be universal high income and people wont have to work is the timeframe AFTER us parasites are removed from the equation. The ELITES won't have to work and will have devices doing their bidding. NOT US.

World annihilation will stop AI becoming any problem. Civilisations have been destroyed time and time again. Empires conquered. Nature has a way of levelling the odds.

Quote from: Lab Flaker on Today at 01:05:36 AMNo...I never fought with him in the past. About two years ago he asked me to donate some money to this poor kid, that needed basic essentials, like food and clothing. Apparently he wanted to impress the girl's mother or guardian or other, and get a root (coitus). I thought whatever...

And then shorty afterwards he sided with that irate racist Mexican/American halfwit that goes by the name of Oak/Lily or whatever the hormonal overload calls herself these days.

The rift compounded thereafter when he would always have snide little comments towards me when I logged out due to the time zone difference.

To tell you the truth, I honestly don't have the time, to converse with such a shallow minded Brazoo, 10 years my junior, mouthing over in Shitsville Brazil, where the monkey-men reign supreme.

I mean FFS...the guy is so fucking dim-witted, that his username is all about man seed?
His milkshake brings all the men to his yard I guess??

Interesting.  So the Hooves of Hatred, TPoTF (LilyOak) is central to this rift between two old forum hands?  What a tangled web of destruction and discord Lily always seems to be involved in.

Listen up, deport_liberals ! What a windfall of Troll Fodder!

You guys must have had some good battles over the years. I've known Rancid for a bit over 20 years and I've seen you around forever, but somehow I missed the battles.

To be honest, I don't give a fuck.

Quote from: Lab Flaker on Today at 12:02:30 AMNo it's not that! I've employed many Brazilians as staff, and they are quite cocky I might add. This particular one is just a snotty-nosed little brat with zero respect for his elders.
And to tell you the truth...he just needs a good fuck in all honesty. If he got off the dope, he might pull his dismal life around and quit seeking validation, as he's done for the past two decades.

Quote from: J E B Stuart on Today at 12:15:00 AMSugar Man's story is quite interesting. He passed in 2023 at the age of 81. Here's a link about his first album, from 1970:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_Fact

Amen.

I had his actual first album on vinyl, that was passed down to me from my mother. Later on, in 2011 when he was touring Australia at 69 years, I was privileged to watch him from a dinner table performing. The whole night I bought him red wine whilst he played to a limited audience of only 300.

We got to chat later on when he was signing merchandise, and my wife took a photo of us together arm in arm.
We actually had a good laugh together, when I told him that my mother clipped me on the back of the ear for singing "I Wonder" down the supermarket aisle as a young kid back in '76.
