    It totally ruined a lot of people’s lives. They had plans to go work somewhere in Europe maybe even live there. Now they can’t do that.

    The whole point of the European Union was it was supposed to be a bit like the United States without having to actually form a single nation. All of the countries would effectively act like States in one nation - they even setup Interpol to act like state troopers. Imagine if you suddenly couldn’t move between states. Utterly stupid outcome, and 100% predicted.

    Just like any government the EU council did do some brain dead things, but that wasn’t a good reason to leave.







  • The problem is if she’s giving advice on asbestos then fine but realistically that’s not what she’s giving advice on. We are aware that asbestos is cancerous and we’ve already banned it, so there’s not much more of a discussion that needs to be had.

    The primary carcinogen that is still commercially available is tobacco products. There’s no reasonable way to believe that she isn’t consulting on the tobacco industry despite having invested interests, regardless of what “assurances” she gives, it doesn’t matter if she’s declared them, she still compromised there’s no way that you wouldn’t be compromised in that situation.






  • Let’s face it though, the movie never made a lot of sense.

    They replaced humans with artificial intelligence, an artificial intelligence capable of independent thought (why did it need to be capable of independent thought).

    All they needed to do was literally replace the humans with remote control relays, there’s absolutely no reason for it to be an AI. If you are giving artificial intelligence access to weapons, then you are the problem, not the artificial intelligence.

    I wish we could have a sensible conversation about AI without assuming that it’s going to kill everyone because it happened in some movie. AI’s biggest threat to humans is that it will replace everyone by doing a better job, and our entire economic system will fall apart, not that it’s going to start Armageddon.
