@moeva18 @pauwendewit Compleet het gevoel met de realiteit verloren. Waar komt geld vandaan ?

Dus Zita is al jarenlang wethouder met de portefeuille volkshuisvesting en wonen en klaagt aan tafel bij @pauwendewit dat er te weinig is gedaan aan de woningmarkt. En Jeroen vraagt dan niet wat haar eigen waardeloze rol daarin dan is geweest? #okidokidan

@DigPerspectives She is no longer on the board

@HamEggsnSam Lol we are paying 2.45 for a liter of benzine

Get ready to spend $150. It's coming.

Zita Pels, lijsttrekker GroenLinks Amsterdam: "Het heerlijkste was toch wel om wakker te worden en zo trots te zijn op op onze stad. En dat hoorde ik ook terug op onze lokale zender op AT5. Mensen die zeiden: ik ben zo trots op Amsterdam, zo'n linkse stad. Ja heerlijk. Er is zo breed links gestemd." De mensen bij GroenLinks zijn dronken van de macht geworden. Ondertussen worden de problemen met vuil op straat, integratie, onveiligheid en drugsverslaving niet opgelost. Ze lachen ons uit en lossen ondertussen geen enkel probleem op.

@Sywert I think they are best friends

Op dit niveau Japan (belangrijkste politieke en militaire bondgenoot irt China) zo publiekelijk schofferen - wtf..

@Its_ereko Who is she waving to larry fink ?

🇺🇸🇯🇵 Trump and Takaichi at dinner. Smiles. Wine. Warmth. Hours earlier, he joked about Pearl Harbor. Her translators froze. The world cringed. Now they're best friends. The alliance is strong. The cameras are rolling. Takaichi flew 6,000 miles to be mocked. Then sat through dinner like nothing happened. 82% of Japanese oppose this war. She ignored them. 11,000 protested. She flew anyway. The dinner is warm. The deal is cold. The people at home? Still freezing. "She is loving it!" the post says. Japan's dignity begs to differ.

🇯🇵 Takaichi flew 6,000 miles to be humiliated. Pearl Harbor brought up. Lunch canceled. No joint statement. She went to Washington to explain Japan's limits. Trump spent the meeting mocking them. 82% of Japanese oppose this war. She ignored them. 11,000 protested in Tokyo. She flew anyway. Now she's signing $40 billion nuclear deals. Tying Japan closer to an empire that just insulted its history. Takaichi bowed. Trump laughed. Japan paid. Call it diplomacy. The rest of us call it submission.

Noorse kroonprinses Mette-Marit: 'Ben gemanipuleerd en bedrogen door Epstein' ift.tt/DIkFvdy

@galgitron @GVOCollective get the pre-singularity framing, but that’s the gap: If unemployment hits 50% before redistribution → why assume a smooth shift instead of instability? And if voters are “in control” → what ensures coordination over fragmentation?

@GVOCollective @cryptobitch7 All my thoughts here are 'before' the singularity, while we remain in control. There's no predicting afterwards. And those sick people trying to control us will be eaten alive at 50% unemployment. It makes no sense

Plumbers will be out of work too; don't kid yourself.

@galgitron I get that, but history suggests otherwise: Even with abundance, humans still compete for status, control, and scarce assets. If AI is that powerful → controlling the “river” is the ultimate leverage. So why assume incentives suddenly disappear instead of intensify?

@cryptobitch7 The singularity is a point in time where AI is so smart that it becomes completely unpredictable. Before such time, what's the point of controlling something when you have enough for yourself? Why try to control a river? You have to align opportunity with incentive first.

@galgitron get the “machine slavery” angle, but: If self-replicating AI becomes that powerful → why assume humans stay in control at all? And if they do → what stops a few actors from controlling that “infinite” production?it still feels fragile.

@cryptobitch7 You can't look at it from the lens of the way power distributes today. You have to look at it like, well, unlimited slavery of machines that create endless copies of themselves.

@galgitron Then it all comes down to governance: If power is already concentrated → why would it suddenly redistribute fairly? Who sets AI’s goals? And who ensures scarcity isn’t just repackaged inequality?

@cryptobitch7 We're already at profoundly extreme concentration of power. Redistribution will lag behind unemployment, but like I said, voters are in control. AI will be doing most of the innovating, look up 'singularity'. New forms of scarcity will exist, but means of allocation may evolve

@galgitron If AI drives massive profits what prevents extreme concentration of power before redistribution catches up?If everyone is “retired” what sustains competition and breakthrough innovation at scale?And if resources aren’t infinite how does “abundance” avoid new forms of scarcity?

@cryptobitch7 they'll still be insanely profitable even with high taxes. The entire world will be using AI for everything. UBI essentially retires everyone. Robots are the new workforce. Humans can still innovate, but will heavily leverage AI to do so.

@galgitron Pension

@cryptobitch7 pensions do not equal UBI, that was just to demonstrate that people on UBI will behave like pensioners. pensions come from employers or investments, and is limited. UBI will come from AI taxation, and will be abundant.

@galgitron that’s exactly where I struggle: If UBI is “abundant” and funded by AI taxes what anchors its value?If production is automated but resources (energy, housing, land) aren’t unlimited what prevents inflation or scarcity pricing?And why assume human behavior under UBI scales like

@galgitron And if pensions = UBI → why haven’t pension societies already converged to this model?Trying to reconcile the incentives here.

@cryptobitch7 Why would any country welcome an energy-hog corporation that doesn't create jobs or pay taxes? You can't black market acres of server farms Retired people on pensions spend money, same thing

@galgitron Why would every country enforce the same taxes at the same time? What stops black markets or AI monopolies from forming? And if UBI is the only income → what actually drives demand, ambition, and growth? Genuinely trying to understand the endgame.

@cryptobitch7 relocate where? The entire world will tax the hell out of them. No country will take a company that puts their people out of work and doesn't pay taxes. People earn UBI. Read my earlier link When unemployment hits 50%, they'll be in control

#XRP is mimicking its fractal from 2017 and if this plays out 32$ #XRP in next 90 days 👀

@galgitron If AI companies are heavily taxed → what stops them from relocating or avoiding it? If AI is a full replacement → who generates the demand if people don’t earn? And if voters are “in control” → why hasn’t that prevented inequality so far?Curious how you see that.

@cryptobitch7 The companies that profit from AI will be taxed accordingly. Unlike in history where we invented tools to help us work, AI is a direct replacement for us, so a better comparison is perhaps immigrants working for less. Ultimately systems are regulated, thus voters are in control

@galgitron If no one works → where does the money come from? If AI replaces jobs → why wouldn’t it create new ones like every tech wave before? And if everything is automated → who owns & controls the system? Genuine question.
