once you have bipedal robots able to perform pretty much any teachable task... farm, harvest, deliver/drive... build housing... then you got a scarcity free society

when the robots can take care of themselves, fix each other...

and when on finance for the price of a new car, you can buy an android that does all the cleaning and cooking... that'll be pretty sweet

centuries away from post-scarcity society

I dunno bout that... these things tend to escalate quickly

I always said... 1900-1950 was the production line age.. which by 1950 was pretty much sorted...
then 1950-2000 was the digital age
and 2000-2050 will be the robot age
and my best guess would be 2050-2100 being a space age

so think where we were in 1970 with the digital age... and where we got to in 2000

right now we got robots doing flippin parkour 😛

I think we could reach a post scarcity society within 100 years

Especially with the growth of AI

I wonder if the Lords will try and block the bill

I wasn't aware they could

Developing more efficient methods of resource extraction does not eliminate the scarcity of those resources

But AI will definitely make things a lot easier

hot

it's only a jack if it's on a ship

however
the EU is a sinking ship, so that's fine <:smugon:512048583806025739>

apparently nobody has flags on their desks, just the brexit meps seem to have done

loads of people under that tweet likening him to a nazi and/or calling him a fascist

low iq peanut gallery

I bet the polish had flags... in fact Im sure a lot of them had flags

someone posted a photo with none visible, who knows

Gah, i just watched a "urban exploration" of an abandoned falling down house and saw two Vic 20's in it, and yellled "but I WANT THOSE!"

It's become a "date the last occupancy of this place from the video evidence" game

If you want to play along:

i wonder if any of these people take stuff

could just bring more flags

make an entire new MEP out of flags

childishly put swastika ones on the president desk

What am I looking at, Autumn?

I am trying to work that out 🤔

Apparently it's to make referendums require 55% of the population and a 60% vote share to pass

Seems pointless

ah yes, the "let's not have something like brexit again" bill

fucking laughing stock

forget the commons, these guys need a check
