Re: The AI (artificial intelligence) thread
Maybe the technology will learn how to do that from people.Technology doesn't scam people. People scam people.
What if you tasked AI to set up a profitable online business and it looks at what works and decides that scamming people is the way ahead.

Re: A Medical Emergency in Hua Hin

Re: The Bitcoin, Blockchain, and Cryptocurrency Thread
I've never tried crypto so I don't know how it would work but if transactions are secret and the sale of crypto in Thailand is going to be untaxed, is there scope for moving funds into the country that way?
