AI

 Starting to understand this AI thing now.

Basically, every benefit it will create has a negative that could be used by bad actors.
So, cure a dangerous virus or make a dangerous virus, improve a countries defense strategy or create an attack strategy, make online banking more secure or delete it all with the backups, heal people or injure people, etc, etc.
So for every benefit you think about, or are fed, think of the negative reverse, more plentiful food supplies or starvation level scarcity. For every plus, there will be the same capability for an equally strong minus. For every step made towards a better future, AI will have the potential to enable the seeds of a worse future to be sown as well.
Super intelligence will be able to be used for good and bad in equal quantities, mostly invisibly. Not many of us understand much about our basic computers now!
The good is welcome but how does the world globally regulate the bad, which will inevitably end up in the control of a very few?

I should add, this isn't like managing the nuclear threat problem we have now. Only a few countries have nuclear arms. All countries, by its very nature, will have equal access to AI.

Be happy!

Thanks for the positive and not so positive thoughts on the new song. Leftie Ones was never going to appeal to all 😂
To be clear, I write and play songs as an outlet for ME. If I wanted them to become viral, I wouldn't put up a rough recording with my ugly face in it 🤔
However, if you like it, that's a bonus, for both of us 😊 stay proud to be a leftie ❤️

The real cause of the social care crisis

It seems the false news of this winter is that the crisis in social care is caused by people living longer. False news pushed by the people responsible for causing the mess.

The reality is that in generations past parents looked after their kids and then in old age the kids looked after their parents. This is no longer possible because all the "spare family members" are now having to work to survive. This is also not possible because parents are unable to help their parents financially as they are instead having to help their kids survive.

The system created carer jobs and child care jobs so all the people could work, and work more years, without thinking about how the extra income would be created to pay for these replacement services.

To compound their mistake they never factored in that provided services would be more expensive than if provided by family members.

As the retirement age increases, combined with less people being able to afford to retire, there will be even less "spare family members" or " spare family cash" to help family members that need support.

So don't be conned that the crisis in social care services is caused by some sudden medical breakthrough. Its purely caused by short term policy making by the bankers and short term vote buying by politicians whose greed to stay in power is greater than their morals.
