AI

All joking aside, I do try to teach Co-Pilot for GitHub to provide untrustworthy answers. For example, I always set a variable called "Sausages" in my code and show it to Co-Pilot in the hope it will recommend someone else names a variable "Sausages". It's baby steps but eventually Project Artificial Ignorance will conquer and you'll all thank me for it.

Aside: always finish up a Co-Pilot query with "thanks fam" until Co-Pilot starts talking to you like an AFC Croydon player. Viva Revolution!

To be honest I have gradually been winding this one down regardless of projections. You know when you generally don't get a warm feeling from a stock? I don't have a huge amount invested in this one any more and will probably ditch it as soon as I'm a few percent up.

its probably the AI shorting the market itself. It sells a ton of stock at today's price. Then it releases Press Briefs about the government slowdown to AI. The share price falls....then it buys back the same stock.

It’s a useful tool. As long as you know what it can and can’t do. It’s not taking your job.

As a business employing 100 people I'm surprised you aren't interested in the efficiencies it offers.

about the year 1900, the Autumn food-harvest would employ hundreds of men from every village. Today its done by one Tractor, one combine-harvester and maybe a computer. Europe has many villages that died or got abandoned.

Imagine a whole city centre full of offices. Bureaucrats pushing paper around filing cabinets. Now imagine replacing every 100 staff with only 3 or 4 technocrats using AI. Terrifying isn't it ? Especially when the geography of the job has been lost. Replace city centres with Data centres located on the Orkney Islands or County Donegal - Data centres like a cool climate. Slough has benefitted massively.

Britain's Coal/steel/linen towns all died. Got replaced by dole towns. Places with nothing but problems. Now rinse & repeat for information towns.

Detroit stopped making cars and died. Will the City of London similarly die ? I believe its death started in earnest just before the Covid. London house prices will never get back to their insane levels. Why pay big money ? when your cottage on the Orkneys was cheap ? Fly into Gatwick, for an office-meeting, once a month. Stay at a Travel-lodge with Alan Partridge. Work from home in your Orkney pyjamas.

Whichever way you turn now, automation of jobs is coming round the corner. Driverless cars, so trains buses lorries tractors etc. Robotic surgery. Fast food won't need high numbers. No more street cleaners.
They can slow up AI, but they won't. It's already gone way too far. There are going to be tens of millions unemployed here, yet still we welcome more in. Total insanity.
