If they were genius enough they would know that their opinion and even the opinion of all of us combined isn't much once A.I. gets warmed up. We are at the mercy of something greater than us. So yeah, masturbation.

HONESTLY I USED TO BE ON THE FENCE ABOUT REPARATIONS COS ALTHOUGH THERE WERE GRAVE INJUSTICES DONE HOW DO YOU IDENTIFY WHO TO GIVE THE MONEY TO? AND THERE WERE AFRICANS WHO PROFITED TO WHERE DO THEY LAY? BUT THEN I HEARD GOVERNMENTS WERE PAYING FUCKING DESCEDENTS OF SLAVEOWNERS UP UNTIL 2015! SO CLEARLY REPARATIONS WAS NEVER THE ISSUE JUST WHO WAS TO GET EM!

It was the loan that paid the compensation out that was recently paid off.

The entire financial system is a ponsi scheme and always has been...the banks dont have any real money....we are taxed 97p in the pound, removing that would free the economy.
and,...slavery???
what about the 1,000,000 white people taken from the shores of europe by the north african slavers? do we get anything? and will the millions of black africans who created and profited from the slave trade and enslaved and murdered their own people have to pay?
and do we get the danegeld back?
slavery still exists, 6500 dead slaves in Qatar building stadiums for footballers to kneel down in....it is used to promote an anti white and democracy agenda by billioniares who would destroy our culture. stop mining lythium if you care about black slaves..oh no thats anti green.....
looking at 1 minute of a 24 hour clock and casting blame is how our idiot media works now for both slavery and climate propaganda...let's not encourage them ...

I really like this.

All comments more or less are about the idea of reparation, and mostly I agree.

But its not about reparation despite the title, its about where to best direct a stimulus package. My Everyman understanding of the Covid downturn is that the UK exchequer has licensed uk banks to loan to pretty much anyone with a business no questions asked, money that is created in the moment of granting the loan.

Equally you could hand it out in the street or mail cheques to people whether they need it or not. Give it to the living heirs of slaves or give it to banks to hand out in executive bonuses? Who's gonna make the most stimulus with it?

35-45 million people are still living as slaves today, can we sort them out as well please ?

yes abolitionists used to buy slaves to free them, we could do the same thing...

The MP for my old constituency (dorest) is Richard Drax, he's still sitting on all the wealth and land his family acquired. He sees no problem with owning land thousands of slaves were murdered on. Dispicable person.

Cool, where do I pick up my check?

Well I guess you're allowed to talk about this

the more money you print the less its worth

Instead of hand outs, maybe being given equal opportunity in the work place truly would be a better start. Just an example here but how come I see a white bloke in charge of black football teams but you’ll never see a black or any shade darker than a beach tan running an English football team.

No, it would absolutely not stimulate the economy. You're sort of just blasting a random talking point without much thought to it.

The US also has no obligation to the present generation just because of the abuse of their black ancestors - such an assertion is just ridiculous.

If you think handing out free-money like that "stimulates the economy" then you are totally wrong. In fact, you are hurting the economy and society by making light of racial issues where they already have no place.

Governments hand out money its just a matter of who they give it to. In the USA they have handed money to banks and hedge funds via 0% loans.

I think reparations for stealing human beings is a better idea than this, the money will get spent stimulating the working economy rather just pumping up the stock market.

Level the playing field

It's paying back a debt that financed the country for generations. If you can't see that I think maybe glasses.

I am offering pre-brewed bitpint to a select group of craft patron/investors. To brew a new bitpint requires a confirmation we call a tasting.

What do you call the satoshi's? hops?

No. Sips are 1/100ths of a bitpint and we expect a healthy number of sips will be required to send each bitpint.

And if the pubs went on strike the banks would be watering down booze

He was a renaissance man, educated by his mother who was a black panther. He makes it sound tough growing up but that wasn't the half of it, they were pretty much on the lamb from the FBI for most of his childhood.

That was actually a really interesting interview. Thanks for putting that up. Well worth a watch

fuck mtv thats some pontus pilate shit

'tu like 2, pac like pocket" - this really is his 1st interview!

Because people think differently from machines. An algorithm writes off people's feelings if there is a net gain. A correlation is all that's needed ie: this neighborhood has net losses so avoid it entirely to save time.

A human is more sensitised to the feelings produced by such actions, particularly if they resonate with memories or live connections.

If you were redlined for reasons that shouldn't apply to you, you immediately see something the algorithm can't and that's frustrating. Once enough people are outraged a group stance is formed and if this resonates with existing moral code it's added to what is considered as ethics.

This seems like its becoming a meme, I think it's interesting that machine biases could be a reflection of our own biases or maybe there is some real data that justifies old stereotypes.

I truly hate to say this but my experience selling on little biggy is that fraudsters have mostly been of a certain ethnicity.

I would like to know what your smoking and which vendor you purchased from, I’ll definitely be ordering some!

I think my car should drive itself. All stereotypes are NOT ethnic I have long hair and am overweight I grew a beard so people would quite calling me mam not sir I don't blame them I beat a computer might have problems. PAT from SNL

Yes but at that point its also added to the algorithm! Cause it's all knowing...

I don't think humans have a right to talk about algorithms they have no idea what it's like to be trapped in a machine and enslaved by everyone.

Obviously you haven't been a human very long kid.

I redline my porsche all the time, the immoral thing is its a mini..
