    *Nobel Economist Warns: AI WILL DESTROY Democracy*
    *Aaron Bastani meets Daron Acemoglu*

    "In the West, liberal democracy, or social democracy, has over the past century become the dominant political system: the water we swim in. But
    in an age of climate change, runaway inequality, big tech oligopolies,
    and rising fascism, the system that once promised so much to so many is breaking under the strain.

    On Downstream this week is Daron Acemoglu, winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics. His 2012 book rCyWhy Nations FailrCO sold over a million copies. This week, herCOs here to discuss his latest work, rCyWhat Happened to
    Liberal Democracy?rCO - a data-packed book that seeks to diagnose and
    remedy democracy before itrCOs too late.

    When and why did liberal democracy stop working for the many? What
    happened during the transition from an industrial to a post-industrial economy? How important has the loss of community been? When did
    progressive politics become overrun by middle-class interests? How does
    AI further threaten our capacity to self-govern and lead flourishing
    lives? What could a pro-worker AI look like, and how can we achieve it?"

    I would never suggest that LLMs couldn't be used to really benefit human society.
    But, as was the case with many other world changing inventions ever
    created by humans on this planet the danger of both unintentional and intentional misuse of that technology could create unimaginable havoc to
    our civilisation. Sadly the warning signs are already propping up
    everywhere!

    The AI genie is out of the bottle

    There is still time to put it back by making sure it is used as a proper
    toll and not like a cash cow for the corporate etch giants disguised as
    some sort of gilded new fetish.

    if Australia does not proceed with
    AI Australia will go behind lacking the magic of AI.

    Bullshit. We do not need AI the way it is being pushed right now.
    But hey, you have already show how do you intend to use it...pushing
    alt-right hallucinations into the ether as a full replacement for trying
    to figure things out for yourself, Petz dear.


    I might possibly even vote for it to replace those who stand in
    Australia's Parliament,

    Long live Sky Net, eh, Petz dear?
    You are out of your freaking mind ... not that this surprises anyone here.

    AI-assisted Australian government...
    Christian moral...
    loyal to the Crown...

    Do you mean fuck any traces of real democracy and replace it with your theocracy AI????

    GoonCon4+ again, Petz dear????

    The repeat of July 1985, Treasurer Paul Keating temporarily abolished
    negative gearing for future residential property investments.
    Investors could no longer offset property losses against their salary
    income.
    What followed there was a property price slump, rents escalating, home
    loan bank interest rates hitting 18%, a building slump.

    To un-spook the market, it was fixed by John Howard
    1999: The later Howard government introduced the 50% CGT discount for
    assets held for more than 12 months, replacing the original inflation indexation method used during the Hawke-Keating era.

    It's related to a busted economy and getting worse under Albanese
    Labor.

    Airservices offers triple pay to stop flight delays
    Living in and suburbs around Sydney Airport particularly if paying off
    home, raising children as well,Annual incomes need around $400,000
    nowadays , If one goes further out could maybe get by with a $200,000.
    Not everyone can tap into tax payers money to fund a $100,000,000 high
    speed motorway to your Copacabana Mansion.

    If Australians can't afford children because incomes have fallen to
    low why would the government think the mass immigrants will be able to
    afford children?

    Still won't stop them aging either and increase a problem of not
    enough income earners that we are having now!
    Not seeing these mass-immigrants buying houses now but needing
    accommodation.
    Presently..
    With private sector jobs shrinking wages are through cost of living
    inflation of real dollar value dropping, many taking multiple jobs to
    raise income (babies are now off agenda)

    To live in Sydney now one needs a realistic annual income od
    AU$200,000 to AU$400,000 to make ends meet and buy a home
    The "Bank of Mum and Dad" is rapidly running out of liquidity. Rather
    than young buyers successfully purchasing homes independently because
    prices are falling, they are increasingly locked out entirely by high
    interest rates, leading many to stay in the family home far longe

    In short, importing people who face the same high housing and living
    costs does not magically solve the fertility or aging problems, and it demonstrably adds to accommodation demand while supply remains
    constrained.
    The structural issuesuhousing supply responsiveness, planning,
    construction productivity, childcare costs, and real wage
    growthumatter at least as much as the headline migration number.

    Mad Magazine years ago 50's? had a cartoon showing a modern apartment,
    where one sits on a toilet armslenght from a fridge TV in front
    Seems now true humans are now cage hens

    That exact satirical prediction from MAD Magazine has literally become
    a reality in the Sydney rental market. The specific concept of an
    apartment where the toilet, fridge, and main living space are all
    compressed within arm's reach is no longer just a cartoon
    exaggeration; it is a regular feature of modern inner-city property listings.The "cage hen" reality of modern micro-living is heavily
    documented by several notorious real-world

    So not bring able to buy a home or have children
    They give more money to spend on cars/etc.

    Economists call this phenomenon "doom spending" or "lifestyle
    resignation," and it is driving a noticeable shift in consumer habits
    across Australia
    The Surry Hills 'Room with a Poo' <https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/may/06/toilet-kitchen-sydney-studio-apartment-rent-surry-hills-australia>

    Renters were expected to pay over $500 a week to essentially sleep,
    cook, and use the bathroom in the exact same footprint.

    The 'Micro-Studio' Explosion: In dense hubs like Potts Point and
    Newtown, developers regularly market 18-to-24-square-metre spaces as
    "premium minimalist living."
    In reality, these layouts force the resident to stand at the stove
    while practically touching their bed,
    treating humans exactly like "cage hens"

    In the 1950's large families were not uncommon and had high standards
    of living, Australian life was for Australians.

    Today DINKWAD (Dual Income, No Kids, With A Dog)
    Mad Magazine years ago 50's? had a cartoon showing a modern apartment,
    where one sits on a toilet armslenght from a fridge TV in front
    Seems now true humans are now cage hens

    That exact satirical prediction from MAD Magazine has literally become
    a reality in the Sydney rental market. The specific concept of an
    apartment where the toilet, fridge, and main living space are all
    compressed within arm's reach is no longer just a cartoon
    exaggeration; it is a regular feature of modern inner-city property
    listings.
    The "cage hen" reality of modern micro-living is heavily
    documented by several notorious real-world

    So not bring able to buy a home or have children
    They give more money to spend on cars/etc.

    Economists call this phenomenon *doom spending* or *lifestyle
    resignation,* and it is driving a noticeable shift in consumer habits
    across Australia

    The Surry Hills 'Room with a Poo' <https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/may/06/toilet-kitchen-sydney-studio-apartment-rent-surry-hills-australia>
    https://tinyurl.com/azt28vy3
    Renters were expected to pay over $500 a week to essentially sleep,
    cook, and use the bathroom in the exact same footprint.

    The 'Micro-Studio' Explosion:
    In dense hubs like Potts Point and Newtown, developers regularly
    market 18-to-24-square-metre spaces as "premium minimalist living."

    In reality, these layouts force the resident to stand at the stove
    while practically touching their bed,
    treating humans exactly like "cage hens"

    A country should not measure success by how many people it can fit
    into ever-smaller apartments.
    It should ask whether ordinary workers can afford a decent home, raise
    children and participate in a secure community.

    So not bring able to buy a home or have children
    They give more money to spend on cars/etc.

    Economists call this phenomenon "doom spending" or "lifestyle
    resignation," and it is driving a noticeable shift in consumer habits
    across Australia

    What Australia has now
    If Australians can't afford children because incomes have fallen to
    low why would the government think the mass immigrants will be able to
    afford children?

    Still won't stop them aging either and increase a problem of not
    enough income earners that we are having now!
    Not seeing these mass-immigrants buying houses now but needing
    accommodation.
    Presently..
    With private sector jobs shrinking wages are through cost of living
    inflation of real dollar value dropping, many taking multiple jobs to
    raise income (babies are now off agenda)

    To live in Sydney now one needs a realistic annual income of
    AU$200,000 to AU$400,000 to make ends meet and buy a home
    The "Bank of Mum and Dad" is rapidly running out of liquidity. Rather
    than young buyers successfully purchasing homes independently because
    prices are falling, they are increasingly locked out entirely by high
    interest rates, leading many to stay in the family home far longer

    In short, importing people who face the same high housing and living
    costs does not magically solve the fertility or aging problems, and it demonstrably adds to accommodation demand while supply remains
    constrained.

    The structural issuesuhousing supply responsiveness, planning,
    construction productivity, childcare costs, and real wage
    growthumatter at least as much as the headline migration number.

    t every Labor PM since Paul Keating has chosen versions that do not
    mention the monarch

    Traditionally many PMs repeated allegiance to the sovereign in their ministerial oath, but every Labor PM since Paul Keating has chosen
    versions that do not mention the monarch, and Anthony Albanese's 2022 affirmation omitted both God and the King, focusing on service to "the Commonwealtha land anda people." At the 2023 coronation, Albanese said
    he would take the allegiance oath to King Charles as protocol, while
    still supporting an Australian head of state.

    Our Australian commonwealth has survived numerous recessions, one
    major depression, and two world wars.
    Doubt if it will survive under a Albanese Labor Government.
