There is going to be mass unemployment of white collar workers by 2028 and it will collapse the entire debt based Ponzi scheme western governments have relied on for decades to paper over the cracks of a fake economy. The bubble will burst, they will try print again and hand out UBI, but this time they'll get either hyperinflation or social revolution, or both. Bitcoin hits $1m USD by end of 2028 as the world grapples with the biggest sovereign debt crisis in the history of mankind. We are very close to the End Game now. There is no stopping this.

Take the browser: why did it exist originally? To solve for discoverability, ie 'how do I find what is on the internet?' That doesn't make sense anymore. Everyone just talks to AI. Take apps. Why did they exist? Because the cost of one to one software was prohibitively expensive, so an entire industry was formed around one to many software releases (one app serving many users). So much of this shit is now dead in the water, waiting to be deleted and reinvented.

We don't have the Steve Jobs of the AI era yet. Everyone is building sandcastles by the water. It all feels like slop to me. Someone needs to reinvent the computer from scratch. Too many primitives no longer make any sense.

@PaulineHansonOz He doesn't believe in the definition of a Nation, so by deduction he clearly doesn't believe in the Anthem either.

The second line of Australia's National Anthem says: "for we are one and free" One = Mono. Does the Prime Minister disagree with our National Anthem?

@mrdlin Fire 95% of bureaucrats, spend $0 on the NDIS, deport the 1.3 million people Albo let into the country against the will of the people. That would be a nice start.

Australia has zugzwanged itself into an enormous hole. Raising taxes to fund a Ponzi scheme collapses the very Ponzi scheme they are trying to fund. No way out

Not being shamed into compliance with things you don't agree with is how you win any negotiation, and it's also how ordinary Australians will take their country back again. You simply must refuse to accept their frame. Study frame control.

Lord give me the 'courage' to import 1.3 million immigrants, directly contribute to the worse housing and homelessness crisis in the history of this country, and blame it on everyone else whilst saying their lives are getting better - and Lord, please give me this courage as the MP for housing and homelessness. Oh and one more favour, everyone who doesn't agree with me is garbage. Thank you, Amen.

The thing women like you do where you try to shame people into compliance is not courageous, it is classic feeble minded 'muh feelings are hurt' governance. No one gives a shit how you feel - no one cares that you think it is garbage - because they look around and see mass immigration is destroying their lives and ruining the future for their children. Instead of addressing this you think it is courageous to import 1.3 million immigrants against the explicit will of the majority of the population who have said they don't want it. Then you lie to their face and say their lives are getting better. The majority of the population will be voting One Nation by the time the next election rolls around, and you and Hastie will both be unemployed. So all you're doing is calling your fellow Australians garbage. Let's see how that works out for you. It sure has worked out just excellently for every other retarded left wing politician out there in other countries who try to quash public sentiment by calling their opponents garbage and outright lying to them.

The best response to Albo and Jimbo's communist government is to use AI to auto apply for all possible government remote jobs, send your AI to the interview, get the job, then don't ever turn up. This is how you claw back the money they have stolen from you.

@gfodor It's mostly that people no longer believe their skills will be useful in the future so they've stopped pretending in the present.

I can only speak for myself, but a big part of this is we're just tired. Now that we can see how insane it was what we used to do, for decades, it's exhausting to just think about it.

We are very possibly entering a timeline where civilians do not get any access to the most advanced AIs going forward, and open source models developers are prosecuted to cease development. I think people underestimate the variance here and the seriousness with which the national security apparatus of the US may choose to restrict this whilst pushing frontier models development underground in a 'final push' to beat China to AGI.

Australia has changed. As much as the establishment does not want to it admit it, the game is over. The two party system is dead, and the major parties are going to share the space. Our governments will be different. Whether or not that's better remains to be seen.

Bitcoin is the only asset worth owning because it's the only one you'll be able to keep the communists from seizing. Few understand this.

If you have a demographic situation where half your population thinks the solution to their problems is to steal capital from the winners and allocate it to the losers, you have entered an economic death spiral where capital and jobs disappear, prosperity declines, and asset seizure increases. When all this fails, the same people think the answer is to take even more next time round and try another reallocation. History already shows you how this works out in the end, and it also shows you how people in the past dealt with it: their solution was to not give everyone an equal vote and let that determine the outcome of your society, it was to take power back absolutely and then make sure those people dumb enough to think capital theft is beneficial for your country never get a vote again - no legal right to vote. Much of history makes more sense once you view it in this lense. They dealt with the consequences and were forced to usher in harsh, brute force mechanisms to stop it. Eventually things get bad enough that both sides realise seizing absolute power before the other side does is all that matters. This is the crossroads the entire West finds itself at. There is unlikely to be a democratic solution where merely voting for 'muh side' fixes anything material. Only a Great Man of History can solve it and if they're hamstrung by 'muh representatives' you're stuck in the same loop of idiots in the way of change they are too stupid to understand. You might not like it, indeed I don't like it either, but it seems to be the case, at least historically. We must stop pretending we live in this make believe world where everyone is magically equal, has magically equal IQ and magically equal views of reality of equal importance - and that therefore every vote is equal. Most people's map of reality is incomplete and unverifiable, their ideas are not only stupid but dangerous, and if these are the people you cede power to you end up in a zero sum death spiral where everyone is worse off. Companies are not run by the junior employees and effective corporations don't govern by consensus decision making - they govern top down. Representatives elected in a system where everyone gets a vote are an unbelievably poor proxy of what is good for your society, because most people are retarded and if you average out the vote of retards you end up with retard 'representatives' making retarded decisions, predictably.

People say Australian housing is expensive. But my experience was different. We moved from Hong Kong and rolled over the HK apartment equity into a Sydney apartment of the same price. THREE TIMES as large, better insulation, better location, wow. Australians complain because they want a suburban house, because they like spending every weekend lacquering their porch instead of spending time with their kids. Very hard to understand, but it's a mass psychosis kind of thing here.
serenityposting@serenityposting

@brianluidog isn’t every single major city in australia in a housing crisis and ludicrously unaffordable? there are a few like that in the us but plenty of lovely, thriving cities in the us are pretty easy to get a nice place in.

If you invest your money and make a profit, the good news is more of your money is now going to retards like Jim, who steal it from you and allocate it to immigrants who hate you, make housing unaffordable, and take the last remaining jobs before AI steals what's left. The entire system needs to be dismantled at this point. Literally nothing works anymore. I can't name a single institution in our society that does what it is supposed to do. Yet we still have retards like this in charge making decisions that impact everyone negatively except themselves? Nuke all of it to 0. It is untenable. There is no incremental change that will fix any of this. Not a single one of these politicians should be allowed to work a job in any form in this country after what they have done to it.

We’ve secured support to get our tax reforms through the Parliament. This will mean a fair go for first homebuyers, tax cuts for workers and a fairer tax system as well.

@gring01234 Yeah, which is why they shouldn't have to sell it to everyone just to get a vote. Democracy was never a steady state historically, for a reason.

@rationalaussie Unfortunately in a western democracy, the issue isnt fixable because it comes down to gender equality. And im not sure how a politician will go with selling that to half their voter base

The macro analysis of fertility rates is somewhat amusing because everyone acts like it's some great mystery why the fertility rate is in the toilet. It's not a mystery. If you want to fix it you need only look at all of recorded history for the solution.
