This is a moot point though. Before all the jobs are replaced in 2036, shouldn't we see data centres burning? Revolutions tend to succeed with only 1% of population taking part. I think it's probably that this revolution will ulti

This blog post offers no new insights. Let's imagine that half of the jobs or more are lost. It would create a shock for the economy as a whole, incomparable with anything that happened before. It's a snake eating its own tail par

I just noticed that it's 60-3 without any divisibility tests. Tao's 27 prime was much more embarassing but understandable as he's no a calculator. Savants are for things like remembering the first million primes. Someone like

We don't know what happened with the bulk of Epstein's private island videos. Who knows, they may well have resurfaced in Tel Aviv or Moscow. Both countries have a lot to gain from this disastrous campaign.
