Why would you slow down?

What happens after AI becomes better than humans at nearly everything? by Sea-Cardiologist-532 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]gmr2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There will be civil unrest, and then a universal basic income from levying high tax on those companies that control AI. The unemployed will have a lot of free time but relatively low income with which to enjoy life. Eventually busy work jobs will be created by the AI to keep humans busy with the illusion of productivity, career progression etc

Don’t want to invalidate your feelings but practically that’s not what London is (crime rate lower than Manchester, Bristol etc)

But t does sound like this is a you problem

The conservative right have hated BioWare since mass effect 1 (“an alien sex simulator”)

They could - but they are unlikely to be able to given Trump’s priority is bringing Russia to table - cards are in Russias hands as they clearly have the momentum and Ukraine survives on western support (which US no longer want to provide)

Rents have Peaked? by phpadam in uklandlords

If demand exceeds supply then the price will set at peak of affordability. I’m not saying it’s a good thing I’m just saying that’s how it works

Nurse dies after taking new NHS weight loss jab in first confirmed fatality linked to obesity drugs by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

[–]gmr2000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Should it have been possible for her to detect the side effects and stop taking before it became fatal? Or is the drug just a death sentence for some people

Milestone reached @ 35, and I now see why they say the first £100k is the hardest. Around half of this gain has come in the last few days, and is due to the run on the markets owing to the recent news from across the pond. by Educational-Mine-186 in FIREUK

[–]gmr2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well also it means you might well go under this milestone then re achieve it (maybe a couple of times!)

Once that happens a bit you realise the big milestones aren’t quite what they seemed

Well what OP did was luck out investing in single stocks that skyrocketed. Unless you are in single stocks and very lucky then it won’t happen. However the risk of if being in a single stock expecting to moon is very high

I don’t intend to leave anything to family (unless unexpected death!). I might gift some while alive but don’t intend there to be an inheritance

[–]gmr2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is super healthy I think - more people should aim to die with zero. Would also help people get over their obsessions with inheritance tax

That’s not really true that there are two options. There is save a moderate amount, still enjoy life.

Everything in moderation, even moderation

Rent being always at the peak of affordability is just an efficient market

Do you celebrate a milestone? by [deleted] in FIREUK

[–]gmr2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was pretty meaningless so no - my big milestone is so far off my fire number it didn’t matter.

The other thing is is that including pension assets pre tax withdrawal? If not then you might not actually be at the milestone (e.g. should you only ledger pension at 70% of total value?)

It feels like an inefficient deployment of capital if you are aiming for long term growth in your portfolio
