I am not a fan of Elon Musk but obviously, a lot of us can say the same. AI will not only grow in the future but it also develop into something big which will become a necessity just like the internet. AI will continue to replace human workers but not the entirety of course but it could take most of the jobs in the future.
I am not worried for myself. But people should seriously start being more responsible in starting a family. Children in the future will have a harder time getting jobs without having college degrees. People in the future should stop relying on the hope of getting a job outside their country because most of these rich countries are the ones to start using AI.
In as much as I think Artificial intelligence is growing rapidly over the internet, I still think it will remain within the reach of internet. AI only has the knowledge of what is been programmed into his system, AI can't do without human as well. What I think AI is going to do for human is to help reduce efforts and time spent in doing or carrying out works that we do. If a doctor spent 13 hours a day for research, AI will help him in doing research to reduce that time to 6 - 7 hours of time to do his research, but as I said AI cannot exist on their own, they need the help of intelligent men to built this, without them understanding the nature of human, it cannot be established or program into this machine that can help humans. However, I'm concerned about how lazy people will become if they depend on this AI of a thing. People now use AI to write articles, do research and also assignment and this is going to a challenge because it will make student become too lazy to do things on their own. Imagine having a graduate who use AI to write an article throughout his entire time in school can't write it by himself after graduation. Who is going to impact real knowledge to the younger generations. Real Education will die with the revolution of AI. Nearly everything will be connected to the internet in the future except probably in some very poor countries and remote places. But even without the internet, installed AI can still work on machines, they just have to be updated when needed. Humans are still needed of course but minimal. From hard labor down to office work, AI can mostly do it. There is nothing wrong with using AI in schools. Real education will be better with AI. The energy and time saved will be used on other stuff. Students will learn more and can have more time to enjoy their lives as well. Students still need to understand their research otherwise they won't pass their oral recitations, and exams and will fail their thesis defense. In short, they won't graduate. With AI, humans can spend more time exploring and discovering beyond imagination. We need to explore the wide universe. We need to find ways on how to heal the planet from pollution and other problems for our future generations. |

It's not scary if you think that they have nukes but decided NOT to use them till now. Imagine their surrounding countries get access to nuke... Thankfully only sane countries have nukes (except North Korea... it's more like drunk but not yet crazy).
If the world was completely sane there would be no nukes and nuclear warheads in existence, to be honest. Also, if you say that it would be even scarier if those Arab countries which surround Israel had nukes, then I agree with you, because some of them have obvious sympathy with groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, not even mention that many of them have swore to destroy the State of Israel. The only reason the regime in North Korea still exists to this day is because their nuclear arsenal, I have no doubt in my mind the United States and its allies in the West would have liberated the people of NK a long time ago if Kim and his family did not have that precious nuclear program they keep up to this day. I wonder what the world would look like if US President Truman agreed with General McArthur to nuke China in order to stop the Chinese from sending millions of soldiers to Korea. Pretty sure the Korean peninsula would've been united in a democratic government and North Korean citizens would've been mostly rich by now. And current communist China would've been small or even wiped out by the Taiwanese. Tibet, Manchuria and maybe even Xinjiang would've declared their own independence. Instead, Truman removed McArthur from command. Now the US world dominance long term is in danger by the ever-growing China. |

The last undefeated team in the league has fallen now with the Minnesota Timberwolves beating the Boston Celtics. Minnesota is also the only team in the league to have beaten the Denver Nuggets. While it’s still early, the Timberwolves are showing they’re a team to beat this year. They’re also the number one rated defense in the league.
Another big win by the Timberwolves. That win should boost their morale somehow and continue to their winning ways. However, there's still a lot to improve before they can consider themselves a serious contender this season. Their 2 towers need to be consistent. I am not sold on Conley, they need a stable and younger PG, and it does not have to be a star player. Nonetheless, the Timberwolves are still undefeated with a 4-0 record at home. Boston and Philadelphia are now tied with 5-1 records. Philly has a 5 game-win streak. |

It's just crazy when a lot of people mind other people's stuff. There is nothing wrong with giving advice but it is wrong when someone tries to insist. It's like some people here making posts and talking about how Elon Musk was a failure and what things he should do in order to make his business better. It's crazy. We should look at ourselves in the mirror before considering to mind other people's business.
It sometimes feels like some people care more about what you do than what they do themselves or need to do, lol. I mean, do what you have to do instead of focusing on what I'm doing, it's my things, it's my life, and it's me who should be deciding what's good and what's bad for me. If you think that I'm doing something in the wrong way, just suggest me a better way, and if I think that your way is better than mine, I will follow it, but if I don't think so, I'll go with my way and you shouldn't have an issue with that and don't start arguing with me for that. OP probably did the same thing with his friend, he did what he thought was right for himself and he was confident with his decision. OP suggested something but he thought his decision was still better so he went with that and OP started an argument with him for not thinking that his decision was better. And I know some people with that same attitude. But I am trying as much as possible to stay away from them. They're toxic. I honestly do not understand why they need to argue or insist when their suggestions aren't being followed. It is disrespectful. Maybe psychologists can explain more, it could be something about personal insecurity. OP is feeling bad which is why he posted it here. His advice wasn't followed and as he said, the argument didn't end well. What makes matters worse is his advice ended up being a mistake so his friend won the bigger pot. What a shame. If I were OP I would spend some time alone, and re-assess my personality. And of course, I will apologize to my friend with a good vibe manner. |

Just today, Tapales together with his promoter and their entourage are flying back to the Philippines. They are expected to have their final camp in the high-altitude mountains of Baguio. Tapales is indeed overtraining. Hopefully, he only had limited hard work when he was in LA because he also had a lot of sparring sessions there against Ancajas, Magsayo, Moton, etc. There are still around 2 months before the fight, Inoue is also expected to have started his light training. It's really interesting to see if Tapales' sacrificing a long preparation is enough to hurdle the Japanese superstar.  |

Questionable criteria (I’m not at all sure that they are applied as you highlighted). Assuming this is the case, then let's say a round where one boxer threw 100 punches and another zero would be counted as only 10-9 if the second boxer (with zero punches) was able to stay on his feet? You understand that this is absurd?
Fury landed just one punch in the third round. It's 8-10 automatically. Plus a knockdown, it should be 7-10.
Your criteria is even more absurd because in your hypothetical scenario a fighter could win a single round 10-0 and then run around the other 9 rounds doing next to nothing and still win by only losing those 9 rounds by a 9-10 score. It is possible for judges to give a fighter less points than 9 without a knockdown but the circumstances have to be extraordinary. Ngannou landed only 7 punches in that third round which is low even for a heavyweight. He was dominant but not so thoroughly dominant that the score should have been wider. Fury was able to stand back up and shake off the cobwebs. He was stunned but not so badly hurt that a stoppage might have been considered. Ngannou dominated the 3rd round but that doesn't merit a 10-7. Right. A fighter can possibly get a 10-8 even without a knockdown provided he battered his opponent from pillar to post. And another thing, even if a fighter can score a knockdown but was losing prior to and after the knockdown and is constantly hit by power punches and significant jabs he may end up getting only a 10-9 instead of 10-8. A referee can also make a standing 8-count even without a knockdown if he thinks the battered fighter needs to be counted and re-assessed. |

Looks like the Cavaliers did end up beating the Warriors. I’m shocked. I still don’t understand how the Cavs who were 2-4 managed to be the favorites over the 5-1 Warriors, let alone how they ended up actually winning. You’d think Stephen Curry was injured or something, but other than Draymond Green getting kicked in the balls it seemed like their team was all healthy.
I also noticed yesterday that the Cavs were the favorites over GSW. Luckily I was so busy yesterday that I wasn't able to do some more research so I did not make any bets. All of the GSW stars played while the Cavs were enjoying a home-court advantage. So just today I did some research out of curiosity on the odds yesterday. The Cavs while playing at home were actually winless and it's their first win today. And GSW were also undefeated on the road so today is their first loss. So at the moment, only Boston remained flawless. The first 5 are capable of scoring in any game, it's just crazy, it is so damn hard to guard all of them from point guard to center. I hope they remain healthy throughout the whole season. |

Some years ago I always thought of purchasing a branded watch worth a few thousand dollars. But my desire changed when I heard some doctors advising people to remove their watches in order for their blood to circulate freely in the wrist area. It's also my first time hearing that watches have small radiations too.
Nonetheless, watches are my last choice when it comes to investment. There are too many choices that I preferred first; bitcoin, altcoins, real estate, stocks, businesses, and jewelry. But for those who have lots of money, having a limited edition or cool branded watch is just part of diversifying its assets.

I don't think old people doing stuff means it's something they missed when they were young. I started betting at a young age and I have no plans of stopping even when I grow old.
You seem to have developed a deep friendship so maybe there is a way to find out if he is betting small amounts or something big already. Because betting regularly with minimal amounts is not worrisome. You can approach him when he is in a good mood and do it like you're just joking or when both of you are laughing or having fun.
Provided he is indeed betting huge amounts then the best thing is to just simply tell him the truth. The house rules and everything. You can also persuade him into sports betting in order for him to limit his bets. Sports betting also needs time since doing some research is needed. Ask him about his favorite sports and his teams and athletes.

OP he took the risk to bet so there is nothing wrong if he decides to cash out early or keep it going the usual way. What is wrong is you debating with your friend that he needs to cash out and calling him greedy because he did not follow your advice. You said the debate did not end well, blame yourself, mate. Don't act like an expert or accept the fact that your advice can either be followed or rejected. Did he owe you money? You seem so forceful about your advice. And in the end, your friend was right. Thanks for not following your advice. He would've been bitter if he followed your wrong advice.

It is hard to specify an age because things are different from places, beliefs, and conditions. In rich and modern countries maybe most people can easily attain financial stability when they feel the need to be serious with life. When we're young we always think about money while old people value time as gold. There is nothing wrong with enjoying life or saving and living a serious life early. Some people were also born rich and money is not a problem to them.
What is sure to me is we need financial stability when we think about starting a family or having a kid. It's not a choice anymore but it's about being responsible.

At the moment all of my little savings monthly go to bitcoin and sometimes a part of them on altcoins. So definitely I am choosing C or $480k worth of bitcoins even at the current price which is still around 50% below its previous all-time high. But I might sell a little portion of it and convert it into Ethereum and some other altcoins. I will also end my monthly DCA on bitcoin since I have enough.
The second option would be $480k lumpsum. With this amount, I will increase my monthly DCA on bitcoin and some altcoins. Say $50k monthly on bitcoin and $30k on altcoins. I'll stop when bitcoin reaches $50k or once I no longer have enough funds.
Business and other types of investment only follow by the year 2026. So I'm still sticking to my earlier plans even with the lottery winnings.

Suns are 2-4 right now, lost twice to Spurs, and now lost to 76ers as well, looks like there is something wrong there. Doesn't mean that they are going to keep going like this, they could end up getting a win too, they could even do better on the long run and even win the title, just because they had 6 games doesn't mean they will keep that badly. However, we need to reach to a point where Suns needs to figure something out. Warriors are looking amazing, their starting five was already great, getting CP3 for bench is an insane move, he is way too good too be bench player, they somehow convinced the situation to be a little different. I think it will be something very good for them, they are still contenders if you ask me.
The season might be too early but it also doesn't mean that teams especially those star-studded are expecting a slow start. Losing close games is understandable but the Suns lost badly at home against a weak Spurs and then a double-digit loss to the 76ers. They have no rest and they need to travel again to Detroit so they might lose again although they are facing another weak team. The Bucks are also 3-2, losing to weaker teams earlier. There's still plenty of time to figure it out but there will be movements before the trade deadline if things aren't changing in these super teams. GSW started well but I am still unconvinced that they can maintain the top 3 seed in the West. The same with Dallas, Kyrie has been a disaster over the years since leaving Lebron. |

Out of curiosity I finally watched the replay of this fight. I was already a little sleepy but I became more sleepy watching the fight so I stopped scoring the fight. What a shameful performance by Tyson Fury. My hat's off to Ngannou. If only he was a little younger and had more time to practice the sport. There were a lot of close rounds in that fight that could go either way. Fury landed more but Ngannou landed the heavier shots and judges have their own ways of interpreting fights, especially on close rounds. Here are the official scorecards. There are 5 rounds where the judges did not have the same assessment while in another 5 rounds, they unanimously agreed to each other.  Here is the punch stats of this fight. Maybe it helps in assessing the fight. Based on the stats I had it 95-94 for Fury.  After watching the fight I just can't believe the Saudis spent around a hundred million dollars for such a boring fight. Boxing just lost some casual fans that night. If only they watched the low-budget title fight of DAZN at Cancun, Mexico on the same day they would've stayed. The 11th-round exchange between WBC super featherweight champion O'Shaquie Foster and Eduardo Hernandez might win the round of the year. |

Added to the undercard is Ohara Davies vs. Ismael Barroso.
I think this is a good undercard by GBP, Ohara will make his debut in the US soil against a very tough Barroso who recently fought Rolly Romero. But it was a back and forth fight and the referee stop the fight and it was somewhat a big controversial.
And this will be for the WBA Super Lightweight Interim World Championship so expect a lot of fireworks in this fight.
This is great addition indeed, I like to see Davies as there are a lot of hype win this boxer. I have to check his boxrec though and see why is the hype or at least what the fans and boxing writers are really creating a lot of noise on him. But it could be a big mistakes for him if he is going to face the veteran in Barroso. Although usually this tough fighters are really on the sunset of their careers and he could be a good stepping stone for Ohara to make a impression on the American audience. Another corrupt sanctioning body doing another magic trick then. I am confident Ohara Davies will beat that joke champion Rolly Romero. I don't even understand why the WBA allowed Rolly to face a senior citizen for the vacant belt when there are Ohara and other high-ranking fighters. It's all about money and politics nowadays. I think Davies is mandatory and is overdue for a title shot but the WBA is allowing PBC to hostage the belt. And knowing how weak Rolly is, PBC won't let fighters from other networks just beat him and gain some fame. But this is a good fight knowing Barroso was winning over Rolly before the referee saved PBC's baby boy. This one should be for the real WBA belt and not for the garbage interim belt. But we'll see if Ohara can easily beat Barroso. Ohara beating Barroso with ease though will only make PBC and Rolly more scared to comply with its obligation to face him. |

After years of experience in the crypto space where I had a share of bad and good memories my confidence only grew. Just imagine putting your savings on fiat 5 years ago and then comparing it to the current bitcoin value. Which fiat grows in value big time? I guess most fiats lost their value since they can be printed by governments.
I have kept some Singaporean dollars here since 2019 and the current value is 4% more than my local fiat which is not bad knowing the high inflation in my country. But if I put this money in bitcoin? At that time bitcoin was around $8,800 and currently, it's $35k which is nearly 400% growth. Not considering that bitcoin already reached $69k last 2021.
But to be fair, diversification of investments is always the best advice. Invest in crypto, especially bitcoin. Keep some fiat for urgent needs and the rest put them into something stocks, etc.

Meanwhile, ESL Kuala Lumpur will start its qualifiers in more than a week. Maybe most of the teams before that are settled already with their line-ups. But the biggest question to me is how will DOTA 2 fare next season when the DPC points system is taken out.
Let's just wait about the new DPC season while Valve is just setting the timing of it. Whilst for the ESL Kuala Lumpur, we will see teams that are already composed with their roster. For now, most of them aren't seen yet and I am just waiting for them for most of the regions there. This is interesting as we're going to see the debut of those teams that have a new set of roster. It's also interesting to know that ESL is providing a qualifier in the MENA region which seems to be the first time. But knowing how rich the region is, some teams can afford to sign good players from different parts of the world just like what Saudi is doing in soccer. I also read the news earlier that a Saudi team wants to create a super team. I hate to say that the game might continue dropping down in numbers but maybe there are new ideas and innovations next season that will provide a much-needed boost.
I am optimistic about the next season. Although this past one is disappointing but thanks to Team Spirit for saving the hype and making more players and fans still interested in the game. Yeah, a TI without OG, Nigma, and Team Secret probably has fewer fans than the previous TIs. But thanks to Team Spirit a former champion which is already familiar to most TI fans. GG, Liquid, and LGD also made that event competitive and exciting. Fully recognizing the MENA region pretty sure will boost DOTA 2. Maybe more events hosted and sponsored by the countries in that region. Ame is expected to return to the DOTA 2 scene this season. It's crazy though when he said that Valve should merge NA and SA since they only deserved a single slot. |

If I were you I would try many casinos because it is best to experience them yourself. Just use minimal amounts, hop into different casinos, and see for yourself what fits your taste most which is something I also did before.
For a good start, you use the casinos that are promoted by the members here since almost all of them are building reputations in this forum. Just avoid those ones worn by members with a negative or red mark in their trust profiles like 1xbit.
You can also try BK8, it also has a lot of games and great promotions.

IMO Binance is the most crypto-friendly including doing cashouts to my local currency without fees so I have stuck to it for some years already. Regarding the other features, I believe Binance also has the best to offer. Since it is the biggest crypto exchange in the world it has an enormous budget to innovate and not be left behind by its competitors. The good thing about Binance is it continues to work in getting more permits from many countries around the world and hopefully, my government will be one of them in the near future.
