I reckon AI will bring us closer to the 1984 vision of the world than the Terminator one.

Algorithms can do anything data-related or process-related much more efficiently than a human being. Indeed they can even teach themselves how to be better at processing. But it's not possible for an algorithm's outputs to exceed the value of its inputs. 

And this our Catch 22. Who is it that is going to keep improving the inputs? And how can we trust that they're improving those inputs rather than controlling them?

We can't and we won't.


History will never have been more quickly rewritten by the winners.

Mental.

Beyond help.

"Cult of the billionaire".

Lol f**k me.

As mentioned before, lads like yourself do harm than good for the left that you're so besotted with.

Another one.


You seriously need to ask yourself why you get so angry when billionaires are subject to scrutiny and criticism. Why are you so hostile to it? Simple question but continue shouting.

I don't get angry about. In fact I enjoy it.

You're just emphasising my point though, for just like the entire loony left, you seem to regard anything other than 100% audible compliance with the left, as being an attack on the left.

Yis are fucken mental.

Why is it that a man who spends several hours a week issuing lies from his pulpit, can sue others so readily for doing likewise?

Are we really in a position whereby a foreign leader holds so much sway with UK judges that these tables cannot be turned?

I had to break a long silence and say yours is the best argument I've seen in favour of the VAR decision. I was appalled at the VAR call (albeit it was immaterial to the game overall imo). But I can see what you're saying. Who knows what Donnarumma would have done if Robertson hadn't ducked.

I know what he would have done. He'd have continued his full stretch dive to his left corner in a vain attempt to try to save a header he had absolutely no chance of saving.

The only valid argument for disallowing this goal is that if referees and PGMOL are consistent with how the do this, then it'll help encourage players not to loiter in offside positions and over time should mean they rarely if ever have to have this conversation.

But it's referees and PGMOL and next week they'll "interpret" it differently, especially if it's a mid table side on the receiving end.

What a load of tripe this thread has become.

When the best attacking side in England spends £300m+ in the same window on attacking players, and things then go to pot, it's hard not let out a Nelson Muntz style haha.

It would be absolutely trivial to achieve. Enda McGinley insinuated it was coordinated to stop quick restarts. As others point out it happened kilcoo kickout in second half, there was one where it was obvious first half lad threw ball in front of keeper.

Throw kids out of ground & maybe fine parents and itd stop fairly quick I would imagine.

So you're going to throw kids out of a ground for returning a football?

Are you going to have a team of stewards who can identify and isolate the "offenders" and provide each other back up for the inevitable nonsense that would follow whereby they can't lay hands on children? Or maybe you've a terminator style teenager of Eastern European descent in mind, who'll wade in and protect the sanctity of the game, without falling foul of child abuse allegations?

The mind boggles.

Outclassed by good bit as expected.

How difficult is it for officials to control the number of balls on field?

Every time a ball is kicked into the terrace, the keeper picks up another one to attempt a quick restart.

How you'd expect the officials to control when and where that ball is returned, I'm not sure.

f**king hooters

[One of the best beaches I've ever stood on.]

I happened across a wonderful little town last year called Siegnosse Le Penon (Le Penon is the coastal area of the bigger town down the road called Siegnosse.

One of the best beaches I've ever stood on. All low rise blocks rather than high rise hotels. Extremely bike and pedestrian friendly; you can walk for miles without encountering any real incline. A really nice promenade with a mix of restaurants and takeaways. Pretty much only French people in town. And a handy run from Biarritz airport. Eating and drinking a little more expensive than here. 

Best beach I ever stood on was Tramore Beach dunfanaghy, sometimes beauty isn't that far away.

Oh I agree with you. Murlough is among the greatest beaches I've ever stood on too.

Le Penon is a dead ringer for Murlough. Except it was 25 degrees!

We got a nice big house on the edge of the village between 2 families. Was expensive but not prohibitive.

But there's a world of seasonal housing in that area. Really can't imagine it's hard to pick up a small apartment at decent money.

The EA are spending £40 million a year on getting precious to school in taxis, no wonder you can't get a taxi at night they don't have to work - society is fucked, the perception is everyone is owed, free prescriptions, free water, a bit stressed and you are off work getting more money that folk bursting their holes going to work 6 days a week.  The only way it will end is if benefits are addressed ffs luxury cars for DVLA ridiculous.

You're only half correct.

The only way this can end is a realignment of the housing market so that housing cannot be traded as a commodity.

We have reached a breaking point in the value of working for a living. All caused by the trap whereby man and wife both have to commute and spend 40 hours a week in an office just to earn the right to have a roof over their head.

Can we really blame anyone for thinking there's a better solution whereby they get a roof over their head for not working?
