@KieraDiss Everyone commenting about being in middle/right hand lane etc and preventing overtaking. Yet it’s clear there’s a 60mph limit imposed from those great big red signs.. 🤷🏼♂️
@JamesMelville What a strange post. The man’s 63 and the Prime Minister. He’s not an elite level footballer and doesn’t pretend to be one. Fantastic to just be out there. I wasn’t a big Starmer fan but seeing this has actually made me like him.
Starmer playing football. The game passes him by. He’s probably one of those shite, talentless footballers who can only contribute by barking orders and taking all the throw ins…because it’s the only way they become visible during a game.
Optimus will usher in an age of post scarcity exactly when we need it as government deficits are exploding and our population is aging. Humanity's best hope are AI and robotics.
@propsMCFC If I scored a goal, any goal, never mind in a Champions League match I’d be celebrating like mad.
One of the greatest footballers ever. Enjoy rather than moan that he’s celebrating.
We’ve reached a new level of delusion with the Microsoft AI CEO saying all white collar labor will be replaced by AI within 18 months.
Microsoft should learn how to create a way to search for an email that actually works before claiming they’re going to automate the entire global economy.
And while they’re at it, they should come up with a way for companies to use Microsoft products without having to pay a fortune to an IT firm that employs humans to resolve the software issues that come up every hour on the hour.
@damianplayer It’s always been available. How do lawyers, accountants get it? It’s just they have the patience and ability to read it/understand it. And most importantly be someone who is willing to be explain it to someone who doesn’t have that. AI isn’t going to change that.
I just heard a Goldman Sachs exec say knowledge work is going to zero. and it’s something I’ve been thinking about..
every lawyer, consultant, accountant. they all get paid for the same reason. they know something you don't. that's it. that's the whole business model.
AI made knowledge infinite.
so what happens when everyone has the same information at their fingertips? what's actually worth paying for anymore?
@r0ck3t23 But AI only has good as the prompts it’s given. When it thinks for itself it’s full of errors - literally no one trusts it.
Add the fact most large corporates data quality and digital systems are useless, I’m not sure the conditions even exist even if it could.
Elon Musk just identified which jobs go first, and it destroys every assumption about who’s safe.
Musk: “AI is going to take over those jobs like lightning. Anything that is digital, which is like just someone at a computer doing something.”
Not factory workers. Office workers. The people who spent decades assuming education and desk jobs meant security are actually first.
Musk: “Anything that’s physically moving atoms… those jobs will exist for a much longer time.”
Output is a file? Vulnerable. Output is physical? Protected. That’s the entire framework.
Musk: “AI is really still digital.”
AI doesn’t need a body. Doesn’t need an office. Just needs access to the same software you use. Executes faster. Never tires. Costs nothing to scale.
But it can’t weld. Can’t wire a building. Can’t fix pipes or work soil.
Musk: “Literally welding, electrical work, plumbing. Those jobs will exist for a much longer time.”
Trades aren’t the vulnerable jobs. They’re the durable ones. Physical presence, real-world adaptation, manual dexterity provide protection no digital credential offers.
Analyst, accountant, paralegal, programmer, anyone producing files and documents, automates first because digital work is exactly what AI does natively.
Person moving atoms has natural defense. Physics, unpredictable environments, material resistance create friction AI can’t scale past.
Person moving bits has nothing. No friction. No physical barrier. Just software AI already operates better than most humans.
The assumption that desk work and degrees represent safety just inverted completely. College graduate producing documents faces faster displacement than the electrician producing installations.
Society spent generations telling people trades were beneath them. Pushed everyone toward offices and screens. Turns out the people who didn’t listen built the most automation-resistant careers.
Most ironic outcome of the AI revolution. The work society treated as inferior turned out to be the work society couldn’t replace. And the work society valued most turned out to be the easiest to eliminate.
@PolitlcsUK Yeah loads more productive having an hour minimum commute struck in traffic each way, everyman and his dog coming up to my desk for a chat, the twice yearly fire alarm going off, the ten minutes lost every meeting to get from the 1st floor to the 20th, I could go on….
🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage calls for an end to working from home and the focus on work-life balance
"People aren't more productive working from home - it's a load of nonsense. They're more productive being with other fellow human beings"
Something’s not right in this country anymore.
You notice it straight away. People are tense. Everyone’s tired. Money is always there in the background, even for people who never used to think about it.
Two adults working full-time and still watching every pound. Rent going up again. Mortgages that don’t end until you’re nearly 70.
People do what they’re told. Get a job. Work hard. Try to be sensible. And somehow it still isn’t enough.
Young people start adult life already in debt. Parents cutting back so the kids don’t feel it. People on decent wages wondering how they ended up this skint.
And the people running things feel completely detached. Talking points. Excuses. Perks. Nothing that actually makes everyday life cheaper or easier.
This isn’t jealousy. It’s fatigue.
When effort stops matching reward, people lose patience. When fairness starts to feel shaky, trust disappears.
That’s the mood in the UK right now.
What do you think finally pushed it to this point?
@BigNewPrinz@lukemaldeni I think one of the problems is that if you launch the ball in now the Ref or VAR (noe nail will be offside) will find something to blow for. Players/Managers therefore think it’s better to just keep possession and try and create a clear opening.
@lukemaldeni Watched that game. Horrendous. Surely you should be launching the ball into the box every chance you get in the last 5/10 minutes? Game was crying out for a Beckham or a Giggs type player to cross the ball.
Football isn’t the same game I grew up watching.
Just watched Chelsea’s hundreds of million pound players recycle the ball in the dying seconds of a game needing a goal.
Sideways, backwards.
What happened to wingers beating their man and whipping a ball in.
Game has gone.
@darrelpartridge@FA@EFL Games gone. Reflective of wider society too. No wonder Europe is seen as weak. Imagine when the Russians invade. ‘He pulled my hair’ grow up or tie it up.
Alfie may has just been sent off for this! No way he means to pull his hair ! He is trying to get the other side nd catches his hair . The has Games gone #gamesgone@FA@EFL
@ShehabKhan I suppose that could be applied to any form of debt. I pay thousands in interest on my mortgage. Whereas rich people that buy property without a mortgage don’t. Debt requires financing.
I left uni around 10 years ago with a debt of £45,000.
After 10 years of continual payments adding up to thousands and thousands of pounds my debt is...£45,500.
My peers with rich parents who could afford the fees upfront won't be paying 9% of their salary for 30 years.
@JimJam1278@B_BMDFooty@OliviaBuzaglo Quite the opposite, I timed my jumps well so I didn’t need to grab someone’s hair to gain an advantage. Just because you don’t grab hair, doesn’t mean you jump like a penguin, you thick bastard.
I’m so confused with people saying Michael Keane’s red wasn’t a red card.
You can’t just pull someone’s hair? 🤣🤣🤣 It’s one of the clearest red cards you’ll see.
@dickronson@B_BMDFooty@OliviaBuzaglo I suspect you’ve played the game loads but never at a decent level. I also suspect you got absolutely dominated in the air jumping like a penguin with your arms by your side.
You penguin 🐧
@B_BMDFooty@OliviaBuzaglo He’s gone up for the header and at the same time grabbed a hold of the wolves lads hair. He hasn’t done it by accident. He’s intentionally grabbed a bunch of his hair to gain advantage. I’ve played the game loads & never tried to pull someone’s hair to stop them getting the ball
This is the most ridiculous red card ever in the Premier League .. Michael Keane sent off for violent conduct !!! 😱 .. He put his hands on the back of a Wolves defender who has long hair .. Very wrong decision in my view by newest referee Tom Kirk .. @Everton are Magic ..
West Ham are sat 4th in the Premier League and are top of their Europa League group having just knocked League Cup holders Manchester City out on penalties.
The job David Moyes is doing second time around there is mind-bogglingly good.
