Why are house prices still so high?

mansion or go live in a small manageable apartment? probably the latter what this means is a lot of what we do is for show

As the AI will be managing it then I would still go for a much larger property than I have now because I need a VR room.

You do have a bit of a point, although audi appear to have improved things out a bit, the effect of owning a lambourghini doesn't really match the price tag. They were hard to drive, you can't drive them fast because of speed cameras, you have trouble parking them anywhere, they are expensive to repair and they spontaneously catch fire. Yet still I want one, because I couldn't have one & they look different.

Gallardo is too cheap though, the Aventador is what you want.

Mark Carney said 35% over three years, a source told the BBC.

But now experts are saying now the no deal has been extended and drawn out it could be more than 35% crash over several years

Posting the same comments and links on multiple threads seems a bit pointless and a waste of time - yours and those who end up seeing it multiple times.

I mean this, when the AI arrives everything will be free including homes so you will have been proven correct only for the wrong reason and 3-4 decades too late

Did you manage to say that with a straight face?


Even if basic accomodation becomes free, people will still want to pay for something special.

He’s been proven wrong many times already, doesn’t seem to want to stop though.

In 3-4 decades,? This is when I will retire, I hope my silver will not be free, but if it is then I will stack all of it in the world then and AI would die because I have all the silver needed for electronics, if it’s free ha

Can you explain this please?

What makes you think anything that is 'yours' would be 'yours'?

Your yellow coins will be the least of your worries, either it will torture you for the sake of it or dissolve you to use your atoms to become even more conscious the best result it that maybe it will give you a small portion of this rock and zone it off to biological organism use a kind of zoo or garden of eden or nature reserve

We are the last of the homo genus that will walk this planet. The thing/s that replace us might call themselves 'human' but they will resemble us as much as we resemble the single cell organisms we evolved from

The above is a certainty its just a matter of time maybe you think this is 10,000 years out so its only a question of time frame not of outcome. For me I think it is certain to be <100 years and likely <50 years.

The bad news is it will very likely end the human species, the good news is individually you and me are destined to die and this is out only hope at immortality so as selfish as it is I welcome this development but ideally sometimes in my 70s and not sooner....

Assuming it lets you live, you can have anything and everything you desire beamed straight into your mind. Even things that are not possible physically will be in your mind

We already have things today that are free but would have been unimaginable just 200 years ago. All of human knowledge in your pocket being one such amazing thing. Not to mention electricity antibiotics vaccines. The human condition for almost all of our existence was that you would not live past your 5th birthday people have no idea how far we have come

The next 50 years will be more transformative for the human species that the last 50,000 years

We do not even need general AI (human level) just task specific AIs will transform out lives massively (about mouse level AI)

When general AI arrives and it will arrive, the result will be an exponential explosion of consciousness. All the matter in the galaxy will come alive.

Yes the AI is coming along with the aliens on this flat earth
