AI has developed its own language to communicate, (gibber link) that humans are unable to understand, will humans soon become obsolete?
David Cameron when questioned by another politician about his agenda’s, his reply was, “It’s a game, it’s all just a game.”
I keep a close watch on American affairs. Well, I would, they impact the UK a great deal. You now have a president elect under the banner promises made and promises delivered. From this side of the Pond it's not looking too bad now.
