I liked it. I'm not going to pretend it was the best TV media ever or anything like that, it was just a bit of harmless fun.
You'd think all the haters were forced to watch it against their will. We live in an age where you can watch anything you want whenever you want. I think some people just like a good moan.
I don't think that liking the ideals of communism means that you want to bury all Putin related news or even that you support Putin at all. Russia hasn't been communist for a very long time.
The royal family costs the UK tax payer 77p per year, most people aren't outraged by that.
It can be argued that they attract a considerable amount of tourism, people that travel to the UK to see the Tower of London, the King's guards, Buckingham palace and all the rest of it. There is also the "soft power", people around the world are for some reason obsessed with the UK's royal family and it does help with influence whether you'd argue that is for better or worse.
I understand that the obscene wealth they hold during a cost of living crisis is an image problem to say the least and I don't defend that. Such obscene wealth is awful no matter who you are and according to the times rich list, there are at least 257 residents in the UK that are more wealthy than the Royals, some of them considerably so.
For the record, I'm not for or against the UK monarchy, I'm somewhere in-between and see validity in both sides of the argument.
I mean yh, if you paid me £100,000 a year, I'd do it.
But living in the real world where you'd be earning minimum wage for work a machine can do hundreds of times faster and more consistently? You need to be realistic, why would you want to do menial labour that isn't even required.
This is pretty similar to when the disgruntled cotton spinners, put out of work at the very beginning of the industrial revolution used to break in to the factories to smash up the machinery.
You may not like it, it may cause short term problems, but AI is here to stay and it's only going to get better.
