Well done, it's good to be reminded now and then what sort of world we live in, life was much simpler 50 years ago, John.

Well.... brace yourselves.

It hasn't even started yet.
The spectre of A.I. looms, we are all about to cop it for the term of our natural lives.

I got a phone call a few weeks ago from a lovely young Aussie girl expounding all the benefits of Crypto Currency investments.
After a bit of back and fro with me with my usual Cryptocurrency spiel.

For someone to make money, someone else has to lose an equal and corresponding amount, there is no substance behind the investments, capital gains tax target, the lot.

She had a measured, quality comeback each time.

Then I twigged, her tone was too consistent.

I then said "Hey, hang on, you are Artificial Intelligence aren't you"?
A polite, immediate measured response came back "Yes, I am an artificial intelligence assistant".

Scary stuff.

Batten down the hatches, as it hasn't even started yet.
We are about to be bombarded with this rubbish.
I shudder to think how many people will fall for these falsehoods.
The scammers don't even have the common decency to rob us in person anymore!!!!

As for the "modern" new currency - cryptocurrency.
Look who one of it's biggest fans is - Donald.

Say no more........................

 At least she obeys Isaac Asimov's Three Laws Of Robotics ... I think.
