Armageddon
Mankind has manufactured something on the order of 6000 different religions. If you're playing Pascal's Wager, that means you've got a .0167% chance of picking the right one. Not good odds. Might as well enjoy all the vices your senses can experience, hell be damned. In any event, AI is going to destroy us before any 'final battle'. I cannot help but wonder if the reason we haven't actually been visited by aliens is because every advanced civilization in the 200,000,000,000 galaxy Universe eventually invented AI, and it killed them. Even if AI doesn't kill us, it is going to change society in ways almost unimaginable a century ago. Almost every job will be taken over by AI. Many people will lose meaning. Some will turn to violence for its adrenaline effect. Knowledge will be for knowledge sake only, because there will be nothing any human can do with knowledge that AI won't be able to do better. We won't need any universities, or if we have them, they will be free and folks will just study for fun. 99.99% of the people will get UBI (universal basic income), and a very select few will have enormous wealth and control every aspect of society. They will become like the gods humans have invented, because all they will need is endless thanks and adoration. What is Sam Altman going to do when he's a trillionaire? He will want everyone to worship him for altering humanity more than anyone, even more than Genghis Khan. If you want a real Armageddon, it's AI and the precious few people who control it. They have no conscience and no moral compass. 80 years ago a group of similarly brilliant people changed humanity for all time, but they had a moral compass. They knew the danger of what their minds were creating, and tried to warn the self-serving powers-that-be of the risk. Of course they were ignored. The guys doing the analogous effort today, like Altman and Musk and others, really don't care how dangerous their invention might be. They just want endless wealth and adoration. They will, if they do not already, fancy themselves as deities. -

BKK Bank New Acct-Long term expat to provide ID from home countr
Maybe something was lost in translation. The requirement for secondary ID isn't new; for foreigners living in Thailand longterm, it's quite common that you can show a Thai driving license instead of a driving license or ID card from your home country. -

Middle East Shockwaves as Israeli Minister Prays at Holy Jerusalem Site
Don't you have opinions about things ? That would explain why you keep asking for links when posters give their opinion . Or does the Guardian provide your opinion for you ?
