And theyve just reanimated 10yr coma patients with a new vagal nerve treatment, the big wuestion is it ethical to give consciousness to someone locked in a totally paralysed body for 10 plus years.
Way to not actually read the link you re-posted... :\

Have to say - I'm right behind Corbyn, 100%, on this:
JezmondoinBrighton said:
Mr Corbyn promises to address the challenge of Artificial Intelligence, which some economists fear could cause mass unemployment.

...automation is "a threat in the hands of the greedy, but it's a huge opportunity if it's managed in the interests of society as a whole. We won't reap the full rewards of these great technological advances if they're monopolised to pile up profits for a few.

But if they're publicly managed - to share the benefits - they can be the gateway for a new settlement between work and leisure. A springboard for expanded creativity and culture."

If the productivity gains (and therefore massive profit increases) aren't horded by shareholders, but evenly spread, the chances of a radically reduced working week are massively increased.

If we use it to slash workforce and costs alone that means productivity gains go to shareholders and jobs disappear. I'd like to see the working week slashed to 3 days. If companies want 5 or 6 day a week cover they should hire another bod. In theory, with automation, profits could remain flat (but still = profits) but everyone else would reap the benefits in free time.

After all, we're not put on this world to work like slaves for the profits of a few. There's no reason why a future world can't be legally structured in a way to free us from our time constraints.

But this won't happen.

We allready have mindless robots working for us unseen, while we reap the benefits.
They're called cells, beavering away to keep you alive.
The point at which we decide the arbitary gap between rich and poor is merely a human construct.
No matter what you do it will just move the pivot point.

I'm not sure what you're saying there. But then, you never make much actual sense.

Peaceful protest against nationalism bothers you?

Analysis | What protests looked like on every NFL sideline

And people say Trump isn't very bright - he's just got all his opponents in the NFL to kneel before him :)

Seriously though, don't have an issue with the protests - just not sure about the venue. Most NFL fans just want to watch some football as an escape from al the political nonsense that's going on, bring politics into it and most of them will change the channel. As a decision around freedom of speech, yes - but the NFL is a business now, and pissing off half your punters isn't the smartest thing I've ever seen.

I think his point is regarding all the shit news outlets claiming that huge amounts of players were doing it, when it is in fact just a handful that are bringing politics into sport.

I recently got this guitar and started practicing a bit, but I only know one song and it is driving the missus nuts. So she asked me if I could please learn something other than Wonderwall.

I said maybe...
