No idea, I just remember the Luddites being opposed to mechanisation in the Industrial Revolution. Cheers.
-
He won’t be in the picture at all if next Tuesdays vote on the Welfare Bill goes against him ! Cheers.

That’s what “Skynet “ said, and look what happened there ! LOL ! Cheers.

I agree but who develops and builds the software and hardware, who maintains the routers , the distribution networks etc. ? It will, in my mind , lead to higher skilled jobs in the long run, but yes, lower skilled jobs will go, but education, training and skills will, I hope, lead to a higher skilled, better paid workforce. It’s all academic to me, I’m happily retired and if AI leads to a more comfortable, longer life for me….great ! LOL ! Cheers.

The Luddites were terrified of the steam engine threshing machine replacing the scythe, and the automated loom replacing the hand loom, but the march of progress went on and has never stopped. Cheers.

It’s been going on for years, mate, not necessarily AI, but automation and digital replacing analog, etc. In the late 60’s and early 70’s my missus worked at the DHSS Centre in Newcastle, the computers were, literally , the size of a house and the magnetic tape discs were about 3’ in diameter, there were 1,000’s of employees. Now, all that computing data could be handled on a decent laptop ! 45 years ago I was sent on a three month course on Electronic Controls at South Shields Marine College.Solid state switching was replacing huge “knife” switches . Operators and Engineers ha

Just my opinion ,Mush, but is it not possible that things like AI, Automation, etc WON’T lead, in the long run, to job losses ? I think it will “upskill” jobs , not replace them. By that I mean people will still be needed to do the R & D on this and build and maintain the equipment. A bit like car manufacturing, instead of a human building the car, the human now develops, installs and maintains the robotics that have replaced the semi-skilled assembly worker, meaning that a higher skilled workforce is needed. Just my own thought and opinions. Cheers.

Piece ‘o piss !!!! Something to do with some German blokes cat ,Superconductivity and Boolean Algebra! Marry them all together and you’re halfway to understanding Quantum Computing ! Don’t know what all the fuss is about ? Ill get my pal mC to explain it to you all ! Cheers.
-
Just watched it ; “ they don’t know what the f**k they are doing “ ! He’s not happy….. Cheers.
-
To paraphrase Mandy Rice-Davies; “ Well, they would say that, wouldn’t they ?” ! LOL ! Cheers.
-
I liked Colin Powell and Storming Norman’s military doctrine in the Gulf War; ”Overwhelming superiority in land, sea and air power; shock and awe” ! Cheers.
-
Well that didn’t last long ! Iran has launched a missile into Israel and the Israelis are retaliating! For hours the “ceasefire “ lasted ! Cheers.
-
Looks like it’s over ! Trump declares a complete ceasefire in six hours . Cheers.
-
Jeremy Corbyn today said it was “outrageous and disgraceful “ that Palestine Action are going to be proscribed as a terrorist organisation ! Even though they broke into the biggest military airbase in the Uk and did millions of pounds of damage to military aircraft. We shouldn’t be surprised, he HAS got form for supporting terrorists; Hamas, Hezbollah, the IRA spring to mind ….. Cheers.
-
A huge clue was when the B2’s were routed through Guam and not Diego Garcia ! If they had come through DG, the UK would , in accord with the Chagos surrender treaty, be legally bound to inform Mauritius of the impending attack on Iran , and Mauritius is an ally of Iran. I think we, the UK, are becoming increasingly irrelevant and are now out of the loop ! Cheers.
-
Looks like it was a purely symbolic attack by Iran to show their people they can fire back. Intermediaries between Iran and the US informed the Americans two hours before of the attack, and Qataris were advised to be prepared, and the number of missiles , evidently 14, the same number as the bunker busters that hit Iran. Cheers.
-
All incoming missiles intercepted according to reports. Cheers.
-
I had a desk top model of a SR71 but it went missing with one of my shipment boxes when I came home when I retired. Cheers.
-
Yes, I know it was supposed to fly at an altitude that SAM’s weren’t supposed to reach, I think it was above 70,000 feet. But the Russians had missiles that could. Cheers.
-
They thought the U2 could outrun SAM’s but Gary Powers will tell you different ! LOL ! They were spy planes though, not bombers. Cheers.
-
The B1 is supersonic but hasn’t got the payload capacity of the B2. Whether they can outrun SAM’s I don’t know, but probably not. The Iranian air defences have been so denuded as to be almost useless ,that’s why the Israelis can fly hundred of sorties with fighter bombers with little to no losses. I think the Iranians have only reported shooting down two Israeli jets. Cheers.
-
Mate, the B2 is a subsonic aircraft, it flies at 500-600 miles an hour, about the same speed as the jumbo jet you go on holiday in. It relies on its “stealth “ configuration to evade air defences, not speed. Cheers.
-
Just listening to a report; the raid has been in the planning for months, moving assets around the world, flying at least six, maybe nine or twelve, B2 heavy bombers 30 hours to target, being refuelled in flight, getting them and 125 strike aircraft on target, delivering their ordinance and getting back to bases without a single loss. No other military in the world has this sort of assets or the ability to carry it out. Cheers.
-
Violence is never the answer ! You should have taken into account his deprived upbringing, your White Privilege, and tried to see life from his point of view ! Or, on the other hand, you could have just slotted the c**t…… Cheers.
-
I won’t judge your lifestyle when we meet, as long as you do the digging ! LOL ! Cheers.
