Although Boris has faults at least it kept Corbyn out in the last election. Labour would have borrowed more even before Covid hit and by now I think the country would have been bankrupt. This election would have seen the opinion polls looking blue rather than red.
I was excited to vote for the first time in my life this year. I voted Reform because Nigel and Reform's common sense and straight talking make sense to me. The attacks on the party also suggest they're a real threat to the political landscape. We all knew it would be a Labour landslide, but fabulous that Reform now have a foot in the door. As Alan says below, 2029 could a heart-thumper!
I'd want to know if it was always impossible to extend a species' life expectancy indefinitely, or if not what are the most useful things we could do to improve our existence - answer all of the remaining mathematical and scientific puzzles, curing diseases, creating elements in a lab, terra-forming the solar system and all that... But then I'd probably realise I needed decent funding for working on all the output so would end up wanting to game the stockmarket too... But then I'd have to ask it if gaming the stockmarket was just a zero sum game ultimately or can modern monetary theory apply here too for an endless supply of non-inflationary wealth without negative effects on others... But then I'd probably conclude I'd answered my own questions, unplug the machine, crack open a beer and sit in the evening sun without wondering whether there could ever be artificial-philosophy superior to mine. Cheers.
Aaahh yes, yes. The perfect question in fact! I was getting round to it, honest, probably on my second beer which is normally when ASI kicks in (alcohol sponsored intelligence). Did you think of that all by yourself? Or did you ask ASI what the perfect question to ask would be? Lol. That would indeed be a good test of how intelligent it really was. But would we like the answer, I mean the question, I mean the... nevermind.
As for the perfect answer to 'how to brew the perfect beer?' ASI would probably have to be able to cope with the paradox of keeping lager cold and taste-free in the sun vs not chilling ale and losing its flavour when placed in the fridge by well-meaning amateurs.
Obviously what keeps me up at night are the real questions and I can now see how brewers and shopkeepers might use ASI. Anyway, enough already. The market hasn't even closed yet.
Back in the real world this is almost certainly how we will use whizzy new tech like ASI in the first instance - talking and dancing cat videos have probably been done to death already, and we are moving on to more important uses as we approach the limits of our imaginations.
Questions of secondary importance like how to ensure total nuclear war can never happen are on the list somewhere but expect ASI to keep plying us with goodies as it disguises its true intentions of world domination (by perfect beer or nukes, same outcome).
Before governments ban ASI from public use I would say we at least need the answer to the first question to help cope with a Labour super-majority, and before a runaway nuclear fusion reaction in someone's garage somewhere consumes our world.
Design a democratic system that actually delivers democracy rather than a 5 year cycle of elected dictatorships.
If the polls are correct Starmer will be the dictator with 38% of somewhere between 60 and 70% of eligible voters backing, say 25%. Hardly a ringing endorsement to introduce crippling taxes or wage wars or destroy our energy system.
The current one, and the birth of Reform...although 2029 after 5 years of Startmer(if he lasts that long?), could be a real heart-thumper!!!

Game the crypto market, quicker gains I think, then buy tangible assets while avoiding taxes
Jeremy Corbin stop the war.
Just think about the polls then read the comments on here. No correlation.

Perhaps then the real question would be – how do you brew the perfect beer?

"Other" - I'd use ASI to advise the Government how to run the country "properly"
Perhaps best not to actually put the ASI in control of the actual levers of power though!
Part of me thinks, let's just give ASI like a couple weeks...surely it can't be worse than that lot? ha!
