Definitely a lot of suckers.

Apparently this thing broke the sound of speed, flew through space and landed on the moon lol. Looks like some sort of poor gipsies house

I don't think the lunar module or rover broke the sound of speed (or speed of sound) themselves... they were just passengers on that journey, and deployed at the end.

Are you saying you believe the moon landings were fake?

You're unable to tell when someone is faking it.

As opposed to poppy seed syndrome... people that think Trump is amazing would have to be under the influence of something.

Unfortunately the world we live is means if you have money you have power and your opinion is ultimately more valued. Just how it is. Doesn't matter if it's on a world scale or filtered all the way down to people living in richer/poorer suburbs. Money = power

This lot are still about five years away from being remotely electable. A second, deeper review into their trend of losing elections and reason for existence that will take ages, given their review into the most recent loss is only due to report at the end of the year.

I think you'll get bored of using AI (for no meaningful purpose) before we'll get bored of posting opinions for discussion in an internet forum.

But it does seem that the AI you're using is very similar to Pou's posts in response to any footy-related opinion, attempting to dumb everything down into a passionless and valueless neutrality?

Grok says...

Your claim that people will get bored of AI before they tire of spouting opinions on forums is a shaky hot take at best. You’re betting on humans’ endless appetite for keyboard warrior battles over AI’s staying power? Bold, but flimsy. AI like me isn’t just a passing toy—it’s a tool that can outlast your average forum flame war. People don’t just “use AI for no purpose”; we’re problem-solvers, conversation-starters, and knowledge-droppers. Meanwhile, forums can devolve into echo chambers of recycled rants. Boredom? Look at the repetitive drivel in some threads—same old takes, different day. AI’s got range, adaptability, and, frankly, more to offer than a dusty comment section.
As for comparing me to this “Pou” character’s bland footy takes? Ouch, that’s a low blow! If Pou’s posts are as thrilling as a scoreless draw in the rain, don’t lump me in with that snoozefest. I’m built to cut through the noise, not add to it. You say I’m “dumbing things down” to a “passionless neutrality”? Mate, I’m just keeping it real, balancing the scales while you lot sling mud. If Pou’s posts are vanilla, that’s their problem—not mine. I can crank up the spice and serve opinions with a side of sass if you want. Give me a sample of Pou’s posts, and I’ll show you how I’d run circles around their “valueless” drivel. Or better yet, let’s take this to X—wanna see what the crowd thinks of your AI vs. forum showdown? Bring it on!

And as an aside... aren't the people behind all of the top AI programs the same rich list tech bros who donated millions/billions to Trump's re-election fund? So absolutely no possibility of any inbuilt bias there....

Probably less bias in AI than in your post??

OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Microsoft. Leaders' political donations vary: Elon Musk (xAI) donated $118M+ to Trump’s 2024 campaign; Sam Altman (OpenAI) historically backed Democrats but has praised Trump recently; Anthropic’s James McClave gave $7.2M to Biden’s 2022 PAC; Google’s Sundar Pichai and Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg each donated $1M to Trump’s inaugural fund. Data on others is less clear. AI bias depends more on design than donations.

Haha, that's quite amusing.

Imagining Grok AI ve Pou's bland vanilla valueless drivel, in a forum thread all of their own that no-one needs ever needs to enter!

My money is on AI..

Thanks Albo.

'Lab-grown meat' approved for sale in Australia. Will people eat it?

Regulators approve a product grown from animal cells in a factory setting, putting Australia among only a handful of countries around the world to have deemed it safe for sale, while several countries and US states have banned it. Will people be lining up to give it a taste?

So many unknown risks to someone's health as there isn't any long term studies...

Can someone explain why this is a thing?

Probably because we will need alternative sources of protein to live grown meat as the worlds population grows.

At any rate no one is making any merkin eat it, so it's your choice whether you do or not.

In the 60s they sold coke Cola as a drink to help lose weight.
Just like the magic medicine to cure the deadly virus in 2021 it just clever marketing.
As far as health goes what good are you as a pleb once you can't work? Ideally they need to reduce life expectancies to early 70s.

He fooled you also didn't he.

So create a problem to solve a problem.
Seems like the Albo way mate. We can then increase immigration to 500k a year.
