  1. l started in AI in 1970.
    l came to make predictions good bad indifferent, racked up an excellent
    ‘batting average’. l saw this coming mid 90s by extrapolation the power of
    the hardware AND the software. once AI has weathered its ‘learning curve’
    watch out when the megasystems in charge of finance, health, food production,
    manufacturing, economy, health *start talking to each other* thats when the real
    ‘Forbin Project’ happens.

    1. the reference is either an Apple promoted band or given the era,
      a form of LSD. r u saying AI is a brainchild of LSD?
      it very oddly makes some sense lol

  2. I hope even the most TDS suffering fools can see the genius of the current American project. The fools on Wall street and in the corridors of what they think is power in Ottawa and Washington have been all in on the west becoming a “service economy.” Many of those services will be the first sectors to be decimated by AI. Accountants and lawyers? 9 out of 10 will fall victim to replacement by AI.
    High value add manufacturing can be assisted and made more productive by AI, but not replaced anytime soon. Trump and Bessent’s project to onshore high value add manufacturing is brilliant in general due to the multiplier such activity creates, which services don’t, but is brilliant specifically because it will endure with employment. Western Europe, having destroyed it’s manufacturing economy will suffer massive social unrest with so few employed. People need a purpose, and we are a competitive species, which is why socialism fails, and fails harder by degree as socialism increases by degree. UBI is an anathema to humans, there will be industry under UBI, but it will all be criminal in nature.

    1. “Accountants and lawyers? 9 out of 10 will fall victim to replacement by AI.”
      yep.
      refine it refine it and refine it until the error rate matches or even improves on the hoomahns, then legislate to broadly allow it. and finally ‘for consistency’ FORCE it

  3. Under the Spawn, CRA went from 40,000 to 59,000 employees. The IRS has 99,000 employees. Given that the IRS processes about 10 times the number of returns of CRA, even without AI, to match IRS productivity, CRA could fire 49,000 employees. With AI, perhaps another 9500?

  4. Under the wretched Spawn of the pig, CRA went from 40,000 to 59,000 employees. Improved it for you.
