            <title>Will properties price crash by Ai after 20 years?</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5532594</link>
            <description>From ChatGPT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep thinkgng, why need to stay in big city when majority job is replaced by AI?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All those people keep buying properties for investment, but what happen when demand gone? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteBegin--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;Yes, **property prices in big cities *could* collapse in 20–30 years**, but not purely because of AI—it&amp;#39;s more about how AI **interacts with broader structural changes**. Let&amp;#39;s break this down realistically and forward-thinking, as requested:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;### 🔮 Key AI-Driven Shifts That Could Impact Urban Property Prices:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#### 1. **Remote Work &amp;amp; Virtual Presence Becomes Norm**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* AI-powered productivity tools, VR meetings, and remote collaboration mean **people don’t *need* to live in big cities** for job opportunities.&lt;br /&gt;* If top talent disperses to suburbs or rural areas, **demand drops**, which puts **downward pressure on prices**.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#### 2. **Automation Reduces White-Collar Job Density**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Big cities now attract workers for high-density corporate jobs.&lt;br /&gt;* In 20–30 years, many of these may vanish or decentralize, **reducing the need for physical corporate clusters**.&lt;br /&gt;* Think: **less need for CBDs, fewer daily commuters = less demand for central housing**.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#### 3. **AI-Driven Urban Planning and Housing Innovation**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* AI + robotics could lead to **cheaper, faster construction** elsewhere (e.g., 3D-printed homes).&lt;br /&gt;* This means **less scarcity** and **better alternatives**, which erodes the “premium” of inner-city housing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#### 4. **Demographics and Aging Populations**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* In countries like Japan, Korea, China, and parts of Europe, AI won’t stop population shrinkage.&lt;br /&gt;* **Fewer people = less demand = falling property values**, especially in already-saturated markets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;### But Will Prices *Definitely* Collapse?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not necessarily. Prices might **drop, stagnate, or diverge**, depending on:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;| Factor                                                                                    | Collapse Risk |&lt;br /&gt;| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------- |&lt;br /&gt;| Cities with declining population + remote work shift                                      | 🔴 HIGH     &amp;nbsp; |&lt;br /&gt;| Cities with strong immigration, tech hubs, or limited land (e.g. Singapore, NYC)          | 🟡 MODERATE &amp;nbsp; |&lt;br /&gt;| Cities that adapt with new AI-driven industries (e.g. autonomous infrastructure, biotech) | 🟢 LOW        |&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;### 🧠 Bottom Line&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;gt; **If big cities fail to reinvent themselves in the AI age, then yes—real estate value could crash.**&lt;br /&gt;&amp;gt; But cities that leverage AI to evolve into innovation hubs or cultural centers may sustain or even **grow** in value.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;### 🌐 Real Examples (Looking Ahead)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* **Detroit** lost relevance when car jobs moved — property prices collapsed.&lt;br /&gt;* **San Francisco** is already seeing price correction as tech jobs go remote.&lt;br /&gt;* **Tokyo** remains expensive despite low population growth due to continued reinvention and investment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want, I can project specific scenarios for cities like KL, Singapore, Hong Kong, or others. Just let me know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;</description>

            <title>Stealth aircraft become not stealth anymore soon</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5191159</link>
            <description>&lt;br /&gt;A new quantum radar technology developed by Chinese scientists could detect stealth aircraft by generating a small electromagnetic storm, according to the researchers.&lt;br /&gt;Most radars are known for having a fixed or rotating dish, but this quantum radar looks more like a gun and could accelerate electrons to almost the speed of light. The electrons, after going through a winding tube in extremely strong magnetic fields, could produce a vortex of microwaves that barge forward like a tornado.&lt;br /&gt;The new quantum radar would be more sophisticated than any previous radar systems and building it would not be an easy job, said Professor Zhang Chao and his team at Tsinghua University’s aerospace engineering school in a paper in Journal of Radars, a Chinese peer-reviewed publication, on Tuesday.&lt;br /&gt;But “the better the stealth technology, the higher the gain” of the new quantum radar would be, they said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3147309/chinese-team-says-quantum-physics-project-moves-radar-closer' target='_blank'&gt;https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/art...es-radar-closer&lt;/a&gt;</description>

            <title>Corruption?</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3738379</link>
            <description>What do corruption mean?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From &lt;a href='http://www.corruptie.org/en/corruption/what-is-corruption/' target='_blank'&gt;Extract From&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER BEGIN--&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilertop&quot; onClick=&quot;openClose('97aeece4536493700a7de41c62cd3bd5')&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;raquo; Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... &amp;laquo;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilermain&quot; id=&quot;97aeece4536493700a7de41c62cd3bd5&quot; style=&quot;display:none&quot;&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER END--&gt;What is corruption?&lt;br /&gt;What is corruption? (See below a discussion of characteristics of corruption).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The simplest definition is:&lt;br /&gt;Corruption is the misuse of public power (by elected politician or appointed civil servant) for private gain.&lt;br /&gt;In order to ensure that not ony public corruption but also private corruption between individuals and businesses could be covered by the same simple definition:&lt;br /&gt;Corruption is the misuse of entrusted power (by heritage, education, marriage, election, appointment or whatever else) for private gain.&lt;br /&gt;This broader definition covers not only the politician and the public servant, but also the CEO and CFO of a company, the notary public, the teamleader at a workplace, the administrator or admissions-officer to a private school or hospital, the coach of a soccerteam, etcetera.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A much more difficult, scientific definition for the concept ‘corruption’ was developed by profesor (emeritus) dr. Petrus van Duyne:&lt;br /&gt;Corruption is an improbity or decay in the decision-making process in which a decision-maker consents to deviate or demands deviation from the criterion which should rule his or her decision-making, in exchange for a reward or for the promise or expectation of a reward, while these motives influencing his or her decision-making cannot be part of the justification of the decision.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Major corruption comes close whenever major events involving large sums of money, multiple ‘players’, or huge quantities of products (think of food and pharmaceuticals) often in disaster situations, are at stake. Preferably, corruption flourishes in situations involving high technology (no one understands the real quality and value of products), or in situtions that are chaotic. Think of civil war: who is responsible and who is the rebel? Natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, droughts. The global community reacts quickly but local government might be disorganised and disoriented. Who maintains law and order? Or maybe the purchase of a technologically far advanced aircraft, while only a few can understand the technologies implied in development and production of such a plane. Mostly , the sums of money involved are huge, a relatively small amount of corrupt payment is difficult to attract attention. Or the number of actions is very large, for instance in betting stations for results of Olympic Games or international soccer-tournaments which can easily be manipulated. Geo-politics might play a role like e.g. the East-West conflict did in the second half of the 20th century, in which the major country-alliances sought support from non-aligned countries.&lt;br /&gt;Fighting corruption takes place in many ‘theaters’:&lt;br /&gt;political reforms, including the financing of political parties and elections;&lt;br /&gt;economic reforms, regulating markets and the financial sector;&lt;br /&gt;financial controls: budget, bookkeeping, reporting;&lt;br /&gt;Public supervision: media, parliament, local administrators and councils, registration;&lt;br /&gt;free access to information and data;&lt;br /&gt;maintaining law and order;&lt;br /&gt;improving and strengthening of the judicial system;&lt;br /&gt;institutional reforms: Tax systems, customs, public administration in general;&lt;br /&gt;whistleblowers and civil society organisations (NGO’s).&lt;br /&gt;We know that corruption will not disappear from society. Our efforts are meant to restrict corruption and to protect as much as possible the poor and weak in our societies. In the end all corruption costs are paid by the consumer and the tax-payer. They need protection.&lt;br /&gt;The small corruption (peanuts, facilitation payments – allowed by the OECD&amp;#33;) do not cost much but are awksome to the public. It is less damaging in total amounts but it makes it difficult to understand why we fight the grand corruption if we fail to fight the small ‘bakshis’. Major corruption thrives on a broad base of small corruption-payments or bribes.&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder, how much do corruption cover?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteBegin--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;The simplest definition is: Corruption is the misuse of public power (by elected politician or appointed civil servant) for private gain.&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the statement above, do DAP corrupted? (I purposely ask this, cause most people thing DAP is most clean politic party in Malaysia.)&lt;br /&gt;Do those leader in the world who have their salary pay by Millions of dollar consider corruption?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let discuss</description>
