In The Netherlands on holiday, and the second day with the hire car. Getting waves from lots of cyclists. Today one of them even used all five fingers when they waved so I think I’m getting the hang of things here.

Can someone tell him he doesn’t need a computer for this? He can just give his money to poor people.
Elon Musk, "AI and humanoid robots will eliminate poverty"
"In 10-20 years work Will be optional"
"Money will stop being relevant in the future"
"If civilisation continues, which it probably will, AI in space becomes inevitable. We shouldn't take civilisation for granted"

This has the potential to impact international routes if this continues, and Covid showed us how long that can take to correct.
