When more and more stuff is done with robotics and AI, what kind of demand will there be for labor? Perhaps a good number of jobs are in fixing robots, or very specialized jobs that require a good deal of visual accuracy, wide range and generalized knowledge, as well as critical thinking? We've been threatened with the death of working class and the birth of a leisure society before, but I can't help but think we are, slowly, getting to that point. The trouble is, when food is farmed by robots and nearly free to produce, who siphons off the...

7/12/2025 3:56pm Yep, my underdog team got obliterated too. I had fun running calculations on the juniors to find the best value riders though.I was pretty surprised by the results of that. For example, some of the 2nd and 3rd place finishers were high in value, but eclipsed by cheap riders with poor finishes.

Obviously it's not a bad bet, but I never take Jacko. Cuz he's not like a 2nd place price guy or a 3rd place price guy going first... He's the most expensive pick on the roster going first. So despite the odds he wins, it's still pure risk in terms of... What else you could do with that 200k+ (As well as a single mechanical robbing you of 200k+, hence the diversify yo bondz method of just picking more riders.) Also, even if you pick a good team, I'd assume a lot of other people are picking Jacko and then...

7/10/2025 3:35pm Alright spill the beans boys. Who is going Goldstone this round? I think he could easily 5peat. That being said, we've seen in previous rounds where he came in 1st place and the highest scoring team did not have him. Obviously it only takes a few cheap underdogs placing well to be a better deal, but placing all your eggs...

The asterisk is for the fact he has won 6 out of 13 races and four in a row only because of a limp dick weather conspiracy right?

7/7/2025 8:57am Kicking myselff; I had Goldstone and Hemstreet similar to the winner of the round, and swapped them out at the last second for a ton of cheaper riders. There were just so many low priced riders in the finals, I couldn't resist.

7/7/2025 8:47am It looks like that was the case. I also did poorly in elites but I still got 78th in the round and moved up in overall. @sspomer Thanks!!!! Hope you had a good weekend brother.
