There is a tsunami coming in the workplace, you can already buy a humanoid robot for $16k (1), which is less than the cost of an employee.

I’ve seen more and more concern about the AMOC slowdown. Wouldn’t be good if that goes away. Talking a change of -10c in Europe

How do you stream TV or watch catch up?

Ford are wrong, and history will prove it.

More than 43% of international banking systems still rely on it

Red tie or Blue tie, thats the choice

Ha! You are not wrong, but give it a few years and I can see AI being used in governments all over the world.

I know this is a joke, but the reality is I, and many others, would probably prefer an AI to many politicians. At least you would know they are not lining their own nest and would make decisions based on facts and not opinions.

The only poll that matters is on the day. Make sure you go out and vote, don’t assume it’s a foregone conclusion.
