I mean yh, if you paid me £100,000 a year, I'd do it.
But living in the real world where you'd be earning minimum wage for work a machine can do hundreds of times faster and more consistently? You need to be realistic, why would you want to do menial labour that isn't even required.

He's absolutely hilarious. If you take Karl Pilkington seriously, it's you that's the problem.
Btw, Borat is a character.

This is pretty similar to when the disgruntled cotton spinners, put out of work at the very beginning of the industrial revolution used to break in to the factories to smash up the machinery.
You may not like it, it may cause short term problems, but AI is here to stay and it's only going to get better.
Who wants to work all-day spinning cotton now?

There are some good and interesting replies here and it shows that your question was worth asking. Please don't be deterred from asking further questions in the future.

It's an honest question asked in good faith and shame on you for trying to shut down OP. There are some very good, interesting and well written replies here that show it was a question worth asking.

Without context, this post is ironic.

I think it's a fair point just not well made.
To paraphrase my first reply, to each their own, if someone truly enjoys gambling, they'll find a way to do it, legal or not.
However, there is a lot of good that money could be doing, whether it is used to help your kids or anything else like that, rather than it being hoovered up by fat cat CEOs and people that hold shares in gambling businesses.

Why stop at online. The amount of pensioners and vulnerable people wasting their money on horses and fruit machines is pretty depressing.
On the one hand, I strongly believe in personal freedom (as long as you're only harming yourself) and if people want to spend their money, that way it should be up to them. On the other hand, some people are vulnerable and need to be protected from themselves.

I've only tried cocaine once but I thought it was super over rated yet worryingly moreish, would only recommend if you're rich.

I agree, especially if it's not in a built up area. There definitely something about being able to see the horizon.

I had my first root canal recently. Honestly it was no worse than a filling, the most painful part was simply having to lie still with my mouth open for so long.
(I hate the injections, but I always hate injections, worth it to go through the procedure pain free though)

It was you saying that they were turning the adverts off, now you're saying they can't. So to call my research "armchair" is quite ironic.
The article you shared said that it's only creators not in the YPP that don't receive revenue but you either didn't read it or just decided to omit that information based upon your predetermined conclusion.

A quick Google says you're wrong, I'm not an accountant for YouTube so I couldn't prove otherwise. Presumably if there was zero benefit to creators, they would all turn the adverts off, rather than just some of them.
I'm aware that they only get a small percentage of the ad revenue but it's like that in every business unfortunately. When I buy a loaf of bread at the supermarket, I know that only a tiny fraction of a percent the price will go in to the checkout worker's or farmer's, or the baker's paycheck, but I'm not going to boycott supermarkets because of that.

A couple of ads isn't the end of the world for most people. Whilst I understand that they are undersirable, I also want the creators I enjoy to be able to get paid.
Some of the creators I enjoy are quite niche and they put their time, effort and money in to making the content. I don't think a couple of ads is too much to ask to help pay them back.

It's not a new thing, I remember something called the anarchists cookbook (I think) that wasn't too hard to find twenty years ago which is illegal to possess.
Edit: it is illegal to possess in the UK, apparently it's legal in some other countries
The weather has finally warmed up here and now there plenty of super annoying houseflies. They're way to fast to swat and have an annoying habit of landing on you. I've tried Google's suggestion of water/vinegar and a bit of dish soap in a bottle, but they don't seem to go for it at all. I'm up for trying anything, please make suggestions! Edit: Thank you to all for your suggestions. So far I've tried the idea of spraying them with surface cleaner which appears to work well

It's already well known at work that I don't just not like gore videos but that I hate them and actively avoid them. A colleague sent me a video of a man being murdered by axe via WhatsApp to my personal phone on my lunch break. Before I opened it I asked if it was a video that I would want to see (because I know what sort of character he is), he implied it was fine. Despite my suspicion I took his word and watched it. I immediately scolded him, he then made light of the situation, I told him that it wasn't funny and that if it ever happened again I would be making a formal complaint immediately. A couple of minutes later, another colleague came in to the mess room, the guy that sent the video made fun of me for not liking the video in front of them. I told him that he was making fun of me and that I wasn't ok with that. Do I have the right to not be sent murder videos? What would an employer do if I made a complaint?

Watching this video (probably 15 years ago) was the moment I realised I was left wing.
It wasn't a very long game but I had 0 inaccuracies, 0 mistakes and 0 blunders! The London is the first opening I've learnt, I've been practicing it for a while now and I'm feeling like I'm getting good at it. Maybe it's time to learn another opening. Any suggestions?
Hi All, I accidentally ordered a double of this album, I'll send it to to one of you guys free of charge if you're willing to DM me your address (only willing to post to UK addresses). First come first serve!
Hi, I already have a good tool kit, drill, needle files etc, so I'm mainly looking for a kit that doesn't needlessly double up on tools that I already have but I'm here for your advice so I'll look at anything you recommend. Ideally the kit would have enough bits and pieces that I could store it and keep it for future punctures also, but I could just order a multiple of single use kits if that is what you'd recommend. Please let me know! Thanks.
Hi All, I have a savings account for purpose of which is to save up for "new teeth". My own teeth are all rammed full of fillings, the bottom row are not straight to say the least and two on the top row have irremovable stains and one needs a root canal. I hate my teeth so I would like a much more permanent solution to all my problems, I've also always had confidence issues about my smile. (I didn't look after my teeth well when I was young, but that's another story) My aim is to save for all on four or all on six permanent dentures type thing. As a route to get decent looking teeth with no pain or infection problems. I have a savings account which I put in to every month to save for this and I think it will take another three or four years until I can afford them. Last night, my girlfriend of about two years who is currently moving in asked how much I had saved in it. We are a little tight on money right now, I work full-time but she has been struggling to get more than 9 hours a week that she has to travel quite far for. I took her question as a bit of a threat quite frankly, that if she knew that I had a fair amount saved, then I might seem like a tight arse for not being more generous with money situations. She does know that I hate my teeth and that I want to save to get them fixed. I said "none of your business" and I do now regret the tone that I used. The next morning she was in tears saying things like she couldn't understand why I would keep a secret like that. I have expressed to her that I regret seeming quite abrasive about what was possibly a fully innocent question on her part and explained that I thought personal savings were a private matter. I wouldn't ask her how much her savings were for example. I now understand that some couples have full financial transparency with eachother. But I for some reason feel quite uncomfortable about that right now. I currently pay all the bills which is fine, I've been paying for everything myself for the last eight years or so and she does want to start contributing a bit which is great. I don't have any secret debts or anything like that to hide. I know I could have handled the situation better but I'm wondering if I'm an arsehole for not telling her how much savings I have for a purpose of which I'm already considering as spent money?
Hi all, I've recently adopted an 8 year old ginger tom from the rescue centre. We don't know much of his history except for that his old owner passed away and no one else in the family was willing to take him. We've have had him about 8 weeks and he does have some strange behaviour issues like being a little bit scratchy and bitey, but this mostly seems to be misdirected play and he has been improving whilst we try to be understanding and accommodating. Apart from that he's a lovely cat. He's quite clingy and always wants to know what you're up to! Anyways, on to the question. Every know and then, when he is relaxing, not even asleep sometimes. He will launch him self out of his skin! It's obviously a fear reaction but I have no idea what sets him off. He recovers from this almost immediately and usually just starts relaxing again. I wondered if anyone had any experience or advice of a cat that does this? I've had cats my whole life but I have never seen one do this before.
My first PC build in ten years, my current PC hardware is incompatible with the latest windows release. I'm aiming for quietness and reliability over power. I'm quite excited to get my hands on some parts again. Let me know what you think! :D
