danny.

To put this back into context, you initially referred to my comment that it was human nature, not capitalism, "that's stopping ... organising the world fairly". For obvious reasons - namely that alternative systems such as communism haven't faired any better, often worse. With that said, I will suspend any further attempt at eloquent discourse and plainly say, wtf are you rambling about? Nothing you've just said makes any sense in context, you're firmly straying into word salad territory.

All part of the intersectional victimhood hierarchy

That makes no sense at all, why don't you say plainly what you are trying to say. Blaming powerless people making observations for the actions of powerful global players makes absolutely no sense in reality.

Claiming observers with no material power are enabling the actions of global elite is a take.

I said it was right wing agitators? You need to turn your beep volume up chap.

You seem to have conflated condoning and observation

Hey, you have no right to have a go at caste systems. All cultures are equal remember. So you need to celebrate that caste system and its cruel enforcement.

Exactly. And Trump and Farage too.

Nah, it's all a brilliant melting pot, everyone gets on, multiculturalism works, and diversity is a strength. Not sure why you'd even suggest such a thing happening again. It was clearly a one off before caused by right wing extremism and white privilege.

Perfectly normal actions

*human nature

Some baffling attitudes here. So we just stop any advancement until we solve worldwide poverty (will never happen).

Can someone tell our resident Professor Worthosoriginals to have a word with these fear mongers, publishing more nonsense this past week https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/02/15/the-desperate-race-to-escape-ais-permanent-underclass/

OK? Doesn't negate what I said, does it? So they are both lying about what they are.

I wouldn't have a clue, I'm not really that interested in US politics. I just wanted to include that bit from the article as the way you'd left it out it seemed quite biased and to change the story significantly.

All political parties are biased towards their own agenda. I don't much care for any of them but I don't think there is much in it in terms of corruption and bias between either side in the US. Democrats say the Republicans are the devil incarnate, Republicans say the same about the Democrats. Not many people are impartial. The role of organisations like the FCC should be impartial and guardrails like fair broadcasting timeshare should be a measure to try and keep things more unbiased.

Inconsistency isn't good. I'd want to know why it *wasn't* applied before though as much as why it's only being applied now. It seems like a sensible political guardrail that should always be enforced if that is the law.

Late night shows aren't news though? They're entertainment shows.

It added in a statement: "The show was provided legal guidance that the broadcast could trigger the FCC equal-time rule for two other candidates... and presented options for how the equal time for other candidates could be fulfilled.

Doesn’t seem so. It’s not a parallel to the Industrial Revolution despite suggestions of that in the recent past. It was claimed that it would open up new types of job but in reality those jobs are already being done by AI too. You will still need people to prompt and check, but you could probably let 80% of people go and keep 20% to fulfil that role.

Just remember to factor in a significant adjustment for demand reduced by mass unemployment of white collar workers and increased supply as those workers move over to those industries.

That makes two of us!

Don't think I've ever mentioned AI killing anyone. But yes, quite inappropriate of me to mention AI in the AI thread and AI news in the news thread. I really should get back to boat people or whatever else we're talking about these days. On a serious note, I do find AI pretty depressing regarding the future, because I'm actually witnessing it. I work in an industry that's being automated away as we speak. Clients vanishing, budgets gone, work that sustained careers for decades disappearing in real time. And I'm not alone, thousands of writers, developers, designers, editors, videographers, animators, and other professionals are experiencing the same thing right now, today, not in some hypothetical future. But you're right - clearly it's all just hysteria. All those world-renowned experts, scientists, journalists, and CEOs of large tech companies warning about the economic disruption? Just scaremongering. The fact that people across multiple industries are living through exactly what they predicted? Mere coincidence. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank goodness we have you on this forum with your infinite expertise and unbounded intellect proving they're all wrong. We all owe you so much thanks in these difficult times.

Yea, when I asked you some questions and you told me I was stupid and wore a tin foil hat and refused to answer anything, that time, yea. But you want a serious conversation with answers now, when it's on your terms, just to clarify?

That's the great thing about 2026 - we have no idea if any photo or video is real anymore.
