If I had less morals I’d set up a consultancy and make absolute bank.
It's just 'big data' all over again. Massively dumb.
My dog is mostly Segugio (an Italian hunting hound) who spent the first two years of her life in a cage in Cyprus.
We can't keep her OUT of the fckn sun!
So much mystique about it. In the company I work for we had a department that was about automation and innovation, loads of bullshit to try and sell solutions to customers to make their (already wafer thin) back office thinner. All drivel and the department effectively disbanded in less than two years.The phrase “AI”. Sat in my yearly company huddle and it’s been mentioned more than anything else but I don’t think a single mention has been informed at all. And I’ve got a Masters in Computational Intelligence. This is my jam, but FFS this is like listening to your grandparents talking about video games.
Hes not even been dead 12 hours and people already rushing to linkedin to post about Diogo Jota dying to farm engagement.
Disgusts me.
yep totally agree with this.Social media in general.
Faux mourning about it, already seen a city fan on X writing an essay about putting aside rilvalries (from a Coventry fan) etc.
Yeah it's really sad that people so young have died in a tragic accident but let's face it, people will go all out to make it about them and how caring they are with their essays.
It will be pictures of themselves going to Liverpool to lay flowers next, I can't remember who it was but it was a bit of a dickhead journo a while back who got caught out being filmed laying flowers for something and it was completely fake and just for the views.
Just caught some article on BBC about some middle aged man who ‘Just has to leave work to pay his respects’.Social media in general.

Actually bewildering on how high a pedestal we put footballers, and famous people in general, on.
Maybe I am just morbid and see things differently but if I was his boss I'd know he was blagging an afternoon off.
Same as when there were people sobbing about Princess Diana dying.
Somebody has put on their Everton shirt and got somebody to film him laying flowersJust caught some article on BBC about some middle aged man who ‘Just has to leave work to pay his respects’.

Even if the charges has been paid it would be with other parcels that will need clearing and possibly a look over by border force regally BF will have a hold list where all incoming items go through xray machine and sniffler dogs will go over them . The system isnt broken in this case it just how it is .ordering things from the US. pre-paid customs charges so should be no issue there. package arrives in the UK within 48 hours of ordering but then just sits in a customs warehouse forever and a day.
our systems really are broken, not like this is a one off.

I would count something being sat at customs for 3 months and counting as broken, and this isn't the first time.Even if the charges has been paid it would be with other parcels that will need clearing and possibly a look over by border force regally BF will have a hold list where all incoming items go through xray machine and sniffler dogs will go over them .

I agree from a cov fan.I hate the "from a x fan" when talking about anything like this. Who gives a fuck who you support you utter pleb.
Same as a rangers fan who went an lay a rangers shirt at ibrox with "RIP Jota" written on it.Somebody has put on their Everton shirt and got somebody to film him laying flowerswhat a fucking bell end. Same goes for the people loving it.

Automating things isn't always a bad thing if it's done properly.
Hmmmm, that’s interesting. I’ll have a think about that but off the top of my head, what about progress in terms of think ie Philosophy?Id go as far to say its the basis of all human progress.
I’m not sure chatbots are particularly useful at automating things though. Which is sad because it’s all anyone talks about and we’ve got a whole suite of well understood and solid tools for automation that are now ignored.
People seem to be half asleep - I think people are on their phones way too much even hands free can take your concentrationShit driving yet again (not Jota related). Specifically people cutting across 2 or 3 lanes at the last minute to exit at a motorway junction.
There has been at least 4 that I have seen this week on my daily commute up and down the M1. A mini last night very nearly got caught by a big truck at Jct 2 on the M6. Also had a Porsche Taycan slam on his brakes and swerve towards me on the M1 to get off at Daventry but he missed both me and the exit!!
Its like Wacky Races out there at the moment.
Hmmmm, that’s interesting. I’ll have a think about that but off the top of my head, what about progress in terms of think ie Philosophy?
Well…again, more thought probably required but I was initially thinking about the ancient Greeks, essentially the founders of philosophy and the basis for which pretty much all philosophy comes from. I think they were able to sit around thinking all day due to slavery rather than automation…not that I’m advocating this of course.Yeah humanities are nice and all but not much time to think about them while you’re subsistence farming 16 hours a day. Automation allowed us to specialise through things like irrigation and tools. Then a few thousand years later the Industrial Revolution allowed us to specialise even further with free time provided by automation allowing popular culture to blossom as well.
Perhaps the best advancement for feminism is the washing machine and vacuum, allowing women free time and to ability to stop being housewives without actually having to get men to step up to half the housework.
All through human history the masses are too overworked to revolt until automation comes along and allows them time to educate themselves and assemble freely.
AI + robotics is the end goal of that. All labour both physical and intellectual can be automated then we have ultimate freedom to peruse that which interests us. Be it creating for the sheer joy of it or advancing the serious field of the analysis of the present and history of Coventry city football club.

Like I say, I’ve never really thought about it before, you might be right.
Well, yes…almost the Luddite response to check outs, and one which I used to adopt…I now try not to use them cos they’re shit/im not very good with them.Slavery is the original automation. Actual automation basically made it obsolete. I say we were all subsistence farming but there were always grifters who managed to put themselves at the top of the pile and avoid it. They just became less important as we stopped being interchangeable lumps of labour and started having a specialised economy thanks to cities and all that good stuff.
I’m being very broad here but IMO essentially all scientific progress is sort of automation. Medicines are a way of reducing demand for doctors and making us less reliant on them and then more productive.
I have a real issue with the strand of left wing thought that’s anti self checkouts for example (my mum being one - refuses to use them cos they cost someone a job). No! Allowing one person to oversee eight checkouts instead of one means you can pay them more. The fact they’re not is a question for unions and labour laws not the tech, but that’s how we’ve raised living standards throughout history.
Does that not highlight a problem though? What you're describing there is improvements in automation leading to better conditions for the masses. If you go back far enough you can trace a move from 12 hour shifts 7 days a week to 9-5 Monday-Friday. Thats a clear benefit to the population at large.Yeah humanities are nice and all but not much time to think about them while you’re subsistence farming 16 hours a day.

I mean, I agree entirely with you but I would be completely lost without sat nav. I’m fucking useless and always have been.Leaving Google maps on when it's entirely unnecessary to achieve the objective,a simple twenty mile trip in your locale, independent thought whatever happened to that,take em to court!
