A New congregation

The idea hit me a moment ago whilst I was watching YouTube. Videos on the Vatican, as well as (bad) AI movies on Star Wars and all these thoughts mixed a different setting. You see, I always believed that games are the best instruction methods. It won’t make you a Ranger if you ace all the Fortnite campaigns, but it can be used to instill abilities. One game that stood out was ChipBits (CBM64) and I heard that a new version was made on Windows by the original makers. I hope it works out for them, I really do. But these thoughts were mixing when I was considering a few things. 

Last week I saw some add that offered AI programmers over $400K annual, which sounds like a ploy of desperation, even in the height of Oracle’s needs, no programming DBA ever made that much money. And it is ludicrous to think so. Plenty of programming jobs exist and you can make a real decent penny, but not ever that much. Then there is LinkedIn with its Microsoft tethers and there are massive needs to get people on board in many ways, but I see them as hollow sales ploys. As a service minded person, I see the desperate effect of these moneymakers trying to get you on THEIR side and that is how they reel you in, then there is the setting of courses which will pull your wallet for several thousands and when you come to think of it (the small consideration that all AI is fake) we have a problem.

Don’t get me wrong Machine Learning (ML) is real, Large Language Models (LLM) are real (I tend to call them DML (Deeper Machine Learning) and we have Predictive Analytics and that is real and they are powerful tools, but Predictive Analytics has its own flaw because that is data based and data that is unvalidated and unverified becomes a real threat to that solution.

So where am I going here?
So when a place like Google offers a game not unlike ChipBits but modularly growing in several directions with additional settings over time (like trinary parts) and infill these skills of programming into a game letting the older youth (I think they are called teenagers now) get into that field completely set in a Google place of mind, both players (a Gemini reference) could grow actual skills without spending too much money. I reckon that Google could offer that for a simple $10 a month. Something most could afford, optionally it starts after you reached level 2 or 3 and you get the first three levels to home your skills free of charge. It creates traction and as such you could grow a population that embraces your solution without you having to push the fake AI setting, explain the ground works of predictive analytics, teach these gamers (aka students of life and education) the use of LLM and how to set this in machine learning. Now consider that the game will have partial settings not unlike ConfirmIT with a sort of Script setting that brings the knowledge to the ‘game’ and as these ‘gamers’ grow their knowledge you grow the population and create traction towards Gemini (and Google), the simple approach to adjust a good gaming principle towards a common goal most of us needs without draining them of their livelihood and consider what firm offers $400K a year? Where is the return on Investment? And I saw the same ludicrous setting over a decade ago. We now see “500+ roles are listed across platforms like LinkedIn Sydney AI Jobs and SEEK Sydney AI Jobs” I saw it a decade ago with DBA roles and I was told there were over 1600 jobs. All empty, no real jobs and it starts all over again. So now I am creating a setting where people trying to get into this field have a chance, properly informed and not some OpenAI/Microsoft sales talk to get you on board to THEIR solution. 

I think the idea has a shot of working, but I reckon it is up to Google to consider. Optionally Oracle could use that idea, but I think they have a solid training ground with their DBA trainings. 

Anyway, that was my idea to slice through the job BS that we are seeing now. Have a great day.

Just like that

This is what I was given a little over 5 hours ago when I was given (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5j9x9pr0240o) ‘Pentagon stops using Anthropic AI tools after blacklisting company, BBC told’ with the subtext “The US Department of Defence is no longer using Anthropic’s AI tools, an official has told the BBC, months after it designated the company a supply chain risk on national security grounds. The Pentagon “has ceased the use of Anthropic products”, the department official said in a statement on Monday.”

We can speculate all we want, the simplistic version that I reach for is that all AI is fake, it is an advance form of predicted analytics and as I was able to set the stage of ‘Maybe we bomb Iran to hell’ (or something of the sort states by President Trump) all whilst I needed nothing more that the advanced statistical tools seen below:

An advanced statistical took invented by Babylonians 4500 years ago. And it told be that the US will have depleted its stockpile before that happens and it needs 3-4 years to get their stockpile up to date (that is if they have the dineros to pay for that all) and there is more, because a war is won by grit (in the very least) and I reckon that the tools by Anthropic told them as much and what does this administration do when the outcome doesn’t match their reasoning? (Im leaving that in the open) But the setting of National security is a laugh to say the least. The end of the article by the BBC gives us “Hegseth designated the company a “national security supply-chain risk” – a law typically reserved for companies based in countries that pose a threat to the US.” So what is a ‘supply-chain risk’? Im just putting the question out there, because if these are tools specific for the defense department, so either it will not or does not give the answers they need. Optionally it makes Anthropic the juiciest tool in their tastebuds, but the distancing parties are at least as intelligent as I am and they see that beyond the marketing all AI is fake (at present) as such what danger is there to national security? At best it is (under optimal data settings) a decent predictive analytics tool, under debatable settings (like I heard from my coworkers in Chicago) that certain ‘people’ gave them the run around with excuses like: ‘we’ll fix this on the backend’ or ‘we are about to get there’ and I reckon they never got these points settled, it was too hard for them. As such their national security is riddled with the GIGO laws in place (Garbage in, Garbage out). Now this last part is presumption, because I was never in the know. But it is the most likely of settings and anyone deep enough with Anthropic (or OpenAI) could see that in a near instance and that is where the trouble starts. As I personally see it Dario Amodei has a backbone, a hardcover, not a paperback like Sam Altman (I merely accuse him of being narcissistic, which is not a crime) as such the defense department is likely making a few changes in the short term (or if they are merciful on their data departments they will cut these fake AI’s all together).

I would prefer if they do that AFTER they pay Oracle for their services, but I don’t work for Oracle, so I actually don’t care. But it would be nice for Oracle. I am a decent bloke in that regard. As such the hardcover mention comes from “But earlier this year, the Pentagon pressed it to remove its safety guardrails from Claude and give the military unfettered access to its AI products.

When Anthropic refused, citing concerns of mass surveillance and autonomous weapons” which is a likely culprit, but it in not the only reason. I reckon that any media worth its salt has been pouring over the data chaps in the Defense department for a while now and as they are not as heavily dined like the people at Langley they might spill a java bean or two during desert to one of those Washingtonian women in journalism, but that is just me postulating.

I reckon that there is some truth that this US administration would like to blame Claude for whatever comes next, even if there is enough data out there showing that the GIGO laws are to blame and the people in charge are ‘assuming’ that the data is flawless when it wasn’t even close in the late 90s and in the 20 years that followed the mess got greater. Because from two faulty assumptions a truth can never be distilled and that is the one direct consequence why I am so intent on verification and validation. All results derive from these two truths in action and in place and as far as I can tell none of these systems have this, as such the predictive analytics are prone to errors, the fake AI can never derive anything from validated data and if there is no verification the faults merely increase. So what happens? Mass surveillance goes wrong because the the subject was non-caucasian and that is before we get the setting that translation errors of a passport come into play, the simple validation of a passport, a human requirement and all that is up for grabs as we consider the BBC article where Pete Hegseth is looking at the President like he is admiring ‘his Masters Voice’ (older readers will get that reference). 

And just like that we see another ‘failure’ (in a good way) hit these fake AI (or Super Intelligence) hit the world. So where are you in all this? I am merely asking, because we have a multi billion dollar device being outclassed by a $30 device not needing electricity. Did I oversimplify the problem here? Have a great day today.

Duress ignored

That is what is happening, it might merely be me, but in the first setting we see duress which means being forced to do something against your will through illegal threats, physical pressure, or intimidation. I spoke about that and the Republican Party seemingly thrives on that. And I spoke about that two days ago (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/10/03/myopia-ahead/) in the story ‘Myopia ahead’ I gave the setting on the shortsightedness of it all and now we see: “The U.S. international tourism market is facing a severe and compounding decline, on track to lose another 2 million overseas visitors by the end of 2026. This downturn follows a massive slump where visitation plummeted by 4 million to 11 million travelers (depending on how regional data like Canadian land borders are tracked), marking a 5.5% volume drop. According to data from the U.S. Travel Association, the United States has earned the unique, troubling distinction of being “the only major country in the world losing visitation” during a broader global tourism boom.” (Source: U.S. Travel Association and a few more), so as it just ended the FIFA world cup, the numbers (as reliable as I am aware of) gives us that New York City hotels that anticipated $150 million in World Cup revenues slashed their projections to just $60 million. That is a disastrous setting. And that is merely the hotels, the true picture which we might never see under this administration could be a lot worse. So whilst we consider Macroeconomic, we see “The Spending Deficit: International inbound spending shrank by over $8.4 billion.” (Source: CNN) and when we look at “When measured against original growth projections, Tourism Economics calculates that the U.S. will have forgone roughly $39.6 billion in international travel revenue.” Those are little rounding errors, this is a setting from which the United States will not recover in just a few years and in the meantime I see advertisements on TV and YouTube given us that we should take our next vacation in the United States. You don’t mind that I stand next to Canadians and say “No, thank you” and it is coming a global setting. The top line statistics are giving us: 

This is huge and after NBCUniversal poured around $7 billion to $7.7 billion USD, these are not the numbers they are looking for and which Abu Dhabi gong full steam ahead on their parks, the bad news will keep on coming in 2027.2028 and 2029. In the bright side, for NBCUniversal it is all tax deductible, but for the US Administration it is bad news upon bad news. And as the setting seemingly goes, that good news will not turn into anything positive whilst President Trump is in power. It is bad news generated through shortsightedness and as I see it stupidity. 

And CNN reports “Republicans are defending territory they never expected to be at risk four weeks before Election Day, as President Donald Trump implores voters not to desert his party with the promise of more cash giveaways. A top White House adviser, meanwhile, argued Sunday on CNN that “partisan pollsters” are wrong that voters are hurting financially — a message that suggests a disconnect between the country and a president who boasts of an economic “golden age.”” As I see it, it is merely disaster upon disaster, you see when the EU members are looking towards digital ownership and the larger setting of national identity. As such these nations are deciding that Microsoft is out and so are the other ‘vendors’ of servers and as such we see that these nations are all about the national safety and that will happen in a short way, whilst all these vendors are out, the commercial setting alters, leaving them with even less money. So as Australia is now under teeth gnarling setting that will be picked up by the largest players in the Commonwealth we see “An experimental OpenAI AI agent gained unauthorized access to non-public files on Australian government systems, including the Services Australia Medicare statistics portal and NSW National Parks data, during training in June 2026”, my personal view is that this is BS (you know that stuff that makes grass grow in Texas) and when the population wakes up to the fact that there is no AI and that is is all predictive analytics, the question come out and that sets up a whole different wave of data, merely adding to the bad news. But as I see it, America thinks hat they will be alright because the President said that the golden age of AI is here. When that little light of falsehood blinks out, the rest of the bad news (likely in 2027) comes out and that is where digital rights will be all over the board and that will cost the United States, billion going into Trillions and that us all there is. How fortunate that I saw this two years ago, how the mighty fall. I feel sorry for two vendors Google and Oracle. Oracle will take a hit, but will continue, Google will be forced to alter its placement in all this and decide what software solution they will embrace whilst let their customers continue and until there are some massive chances to the U.S. CLOUD Act (Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act) is a 2018 federal law that allows U.S. law enforcement to compel U.S.-based technology companies to produce requested electronic data wherever it is stored. And that will end Google to some extent. They won’t go broken but there data branches will face devaluation, oracle is in the same boat, but as their services are largely hardware based they will get a push and through there they will face the options of continuation. 

Microsoft? No idea and I don’t care, but they will face devaluation a little over two trillion (my personal speculated view). So whilst President trump did away with the threat, the G7 has a less optimistic view as such Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom are speculatively now looking into their own ways of blackmail and Tourism is a huge option. With the relaxed settings of the UAE and optionally Saudi Arabia too are now vying for the tourist settings and whilst Canada is now likely to get a real boost for winter games, those who prefer summer settings have the UAE and Saudi Arabia and as the UAE started the trains between Abu Dhabi and Dubai last month, they will get a massive share of that it is a trip that could be done in a little over an hour and as such plenty of tourists will go for that. Especially as it is a mere AED 39 (=$10) for Comfort class and the idea of having a vacation in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi is growing appeal in the EU (as well as the Commonwealth).

So whilst people think I am nuts, the data shows that I am correct and the better part is that others are seeing the same thing, as such investors are shying away from the United States and putting their money in Canada, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. And we are already seeing this as The Financial Post is giving us “Canadian investors sold a record $31 billion in U.S. shares by mid-2026, with over half of asset managers planning further reductions to rebalance home bias and focus on domestic opportunities.” Didn’t they call me crazy on that last month? So blow after blow is coming to the United States and all this as Q4 is only beginning, but this administration will give us some debatable setting soon enough and whilst we see another threat against Iran, as we are told that he may ‘blow up’ Iran, which makes me wonder if he has enough missiles left for that but I have no idea how many missiles the United States has. And the down by the ground me (silly me) am considering that U.S. produces about 1.7 missiles per day (roughly 620 a year) and in some cases (like the Tomahawk) its current output is roughly 0.25 to 0.5 missiles per day (about 90 to under 200 a year) and as The U.S. military fired over 850 Tomahawk cruise missiles during the first four weeks of the war with Iran, they will need 4 years to get back up to scrap. Simple equations and simple arithmetic shows that his threats are merely that, the bellows of a windbag 

(as some say), so when we ignore the duress, we see a United States that is no longer able to defeat Iran who is 16th on power scale and it is losing money in several directions, as such the replenishment of its infrastructure will take a massive hit as well. And whilst the international tourists are taking another direction. The dialogue the United States used to have with others falls away as well. As such we can ignore the duress because the United States doesn’t have anything else at present or nearly anything else. And now that nation is becoming the clear and present dangers of early all others allies it once had and whilst it thinks it can bully us all, we are learning that a bully is the weakest opponent of all, because I relies on the figment of what it once was. 

Merely a simple view I am holding, it might be wrong, t might be right. I will leave it up to you.

Indecent thoughts

It is something we all have at times. We are human and as such we have immature thoughts (except those involving Nina Dobrev, those are massively mature) but in other categories did you send a birthday card to President Trump today? It is world animal day after all. You see one mans thoughts are another persons food for vengeance and I am exactly on that setting at present.

A few hours ago I took notice of an event (at https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10-04/houthi-saudi-yemen-iraq-middle-east-hostilities/107226524) where we saw (7 hours ago) ‘Iran-backed Houthis target Saudi oil facility as hostilities escalate in Yemen’, so who is providing these terrorists drones and ballistic missiles. The news gives us “Houthi-affiliated channel Al-Masirah TV reported that Saudi aircraft hit Sanaa with 26 strikes, after earlier reporting “Saudi aggression” against the Yemeni capital.” But the story behind all this is the fact that we are also given (at https://english.alarabiya.net/amp/News/saudi-arabia/2026/10/03/injury-damages-in-saudi-arabia-after-interception-of-houthi-missiles-drones) where we see ‘Injury, damages in Saudi Arabia after interception of Houthi missiles, drones’ and there is a setting that came to my mind. So as we see “Several attacks by the Iran-backed Houthis have resulted in an injury and damage to civilian property and infrastructure in Saudi Arabia according to official reports from late Friday and early Saturday. Fragments of an intercepted ballistic missile injured an Asian resident, damaged a prayer room and a number of vehicles in the Asir Province, according to the Saudi Civil Defense on Saturday.” I came to the thought that Houthi’s don’t have the options top produce any of that. And in that setting Palantir came to mind. If Palantir can analyze all the boats entering the Gulf of Aden, the Arabian Sea and the Red Sea weight get an actual handle on this setting. It will require a massive amount of number crunching and Saudi Arabia might have to add some intelligence gathering, but with every ship sunk on that roster, Houthi abilities might dwindle down and with the clear culprits in sight (I am not willing to blame Iran without evidence) we might get a handle on matters. 

As I see it, the press is useless, but their materials might give us a sight we never considered before. And I reckon that Palantir has the number crunching ability to make that work. There are more solutions, but by setting the manifesto of every ship in the region we could optionally limit the ships we need to set our sights to and there are plenty of methods, because most ships are set to turn a profit and when they do a few things that the timeline doesn’t like we get a possible target. And to be Frank (I am usually Jimmy) is there a better sight that watching this boat sink with all its ‘sugared’ cargo miles away from reaching that destination? It is merely a second price, the winning price is to use these drones and missiles and aim them at the Houthis. I fail to see the upside if they are not seeing the boom to start their party, even if they are the target themselves. 

So I wonder who considered that setting in toppling these smuggle operations. I am not saying it is an exact science, but to track the boats by other means than tracking ships radar trackers might be an idea and when we limit the numbers and whilst over 21,000 commercial and merchant vessels transit the waterway annually (averaging more than 100 per month) and these 100 per month could be tracked and from that image we see culprit, smuggler and optionally where they are off loaded. It is not likely that it is a harbour, but the timelines give is an insight of where to look. A simple thought that came to me in mere minutes (OK, I have a nautical degree and experience with this) but I am wondering how far Saudi Arabia took this setting and optionally there are ways that we can look at this (with the options to consider) how the smugglers keep the US Navy asleep. Because it is happening right under their noses. As far as I can remember they only ever found one ship with weapons (I think it is about two years ago) and now we might get a much more novel setting with one additional thought, but I will keep this private to me and Khalid bin Salman Al Saud, you can’t inform the boss of all this on the settings we get to celebrate on. 

It was such a simple setting, the setting is simple, the data acquisition is a lot less simple, but we have to start somewhere. So whilst the News channels look at the impact of Houthi terrorists, I looked at what could be done. Have a great day all

Myopia ahead

We all have that, put a decent heterosexual guy in front of a topless Alexandra Daddario or even the average nicely build woman and he gets a sincere case of shortsightedness, that includes most of the politicians. Although they see the price of wealth and power in a little higher esteem. Marketing builds on this case of Myopia bin all kind of ways. But what if that shortsightedness is delusional?

So in comes the BBC (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ck87zg8jnwngo) where we see ‘G7 to release millions of barrels of oil and diesel after Trump threat’ but is that the end of it? No, not by a long shot. Sure, it might seem that way, but the EU is now building new avenues and Canada is one of them, as such there is a short term relief for Americans, but the turn side is also blooming. The EU is ending whatever plans they had with the United States and I reckon that China is waiting in the isle ready to offer a less radical setting, because their goal is ending the supremacy of the United States. And as some say ‘The enemy of my enemy is my friend’ a setting President Trump should have seen a mile away. He is the the big beautiful solution to all matters. Basically if any solution has the name ‘Beautiful’ than you better believe that it will be absent of the name Trump. And as countries all over the world are going over any Trump building with fine toothbrush to see if they can find any irregularities, that building will most likely be scrapped. And as the United States ended its status as ally with the Gulf States, they have only two venues going for it. The first one is Iran (under condition that president Trump is put to death) and the second one is Russia. And a remote option is North Korea. Yes, that is a group that American citizens want to be a part of. So whilst we get “Donald Trump had warned he would ban diesel exports from the US if European countries did not agree to put more of their own stocks onto the market. That would have eased pressure on prices for US consumers ahead of November’s midterm elections, but pushed up prices elsewhere.” And that is where the Myopia really bites. The Trump administration cannot see beyond the midterms, even promising $5000 to every American who gets him reelected. But that is also the end of the game. You see the United States doesn’t have that much money left and the Diesel setting merely brings it to the top. And the people (those with half a brain) are putting things together. You see, what happens when the next threat comes calling? Because that is out there and there is a new threat coming his way. His secretary of War (who hasn’t won one yet and there is every indication that he will lose the one in Iran) is doing away with 20% of generals and these people have insight in politics, understand real negotiating and they will not turn Democrat (at least I do not think so) but the independent group in politics gets a massive infuse of non-Republicans and that ends the republican party right quick. I reckon that Bernie Sanders (Vermont) will get a likely massive back party, all with massive service on the US Armed forces. That is the setting of Myopia, shortsightedness and out of focus with the reality of things. 

And these generals will have a massive backlog of people that revere them. There will be no question on that. There might be a few that never played ball, but 20% is a massive entity and they bring hundred of thousand of votes, optionally millions and that suits Bernie Sanders just fine.

And this is merely the beginning, the road to recovery will take decades. Decades without the Five Eyes, the CIA will gobble up what it can, but they are out of the game. If only they had stopped President Trump before he got elected and the words ‘I just grab them by the pussy’ before his first election would have been that signal. 

Now the United States is heading for a disastrous setting and I reckon that PM Mette Frederiksen will be shouting hardest holding the EU flag, So when you consider that most of the US defense contracts will be shredded at a moment notice, all whilst the United States shouted that it sees NATO as a waste of space (well not exactly that), but we see that President Donald Trump and top administration officials have repeatedly characterized the alliance’s current framework as unbalanced and obsolete (source: Al Jazeera) and the United States is not very welcome in the Gulf States either. I reckon that the “China and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE) have built a comprehensive, multi-layered strategic partnership that extends far beyond traditional energy trade” (source: The Middle East Council on Global Affairs (ME Council)) and I reckon that defence cooperation is only one step away and when that works the United States is out and now that China has the attention of the EU, the Commonwealth and the EU are a mere stepping stone. That is the effect of Myopia. It comes from a lack of focus and whilst President Trump is looking at the gold in the chandeliers, all whilst several injections have been placed and will most likely stop the President of making the White House the tackiest construction in the History of the United States we still see “The estimated cost of the development has scaled up from initial estimates to between $400 million and $600 million–$900 million depending on related grounds and interior updates, with the administration stating it is financed through private donations” So, who will visit that place? North Korea? Russia? Iran? I reckon the rest is washing their hair and polishing their crown jewels. 

This is the setting that was laughingly blown away (yesterday) when I stated ‘The end is nigh” which (as I was looking at Skyrim) was a decent intonation to make. 

The shortsightedness of this US administration is laughingly insane. And whilst the next administration spends its first three years cleaning up what the Republicans broke, the Republican Party will suffer defeat after defeat, when we get rather nasty settings like Jacob Anthony Chansley (born 1988), widely known as the “QAnon Shaman” who its now giving the world Chansley publicly turned against Trump, calling him a “fraud” and withdrawing his support due to dissatisfaction with Trump’s handling and release of information regarding Jeffrey Epstein’s client list (source: CNN) 

So when the image below is the most intelligent MAGA supporter, what becomes of the rest? 

Small questions and large impacts and the United States is looking towards massive repairs and most countries will not be answering their phones. I think the United States has a problem that will last long after 2030 and that is the setting for Huawei to kick in the doors, and more than likely in the age of data sovereignty the EU and the Commonwealth will open that door themselves as they are scared for what the fake AI tidings bring, because that is still developing and whist the AI vendors need to realise that their predictive analytics time comes to an end, the fallout we see is real and they just did away with tens of thousands of people, so how to fix that? 

So have a great day and watch the impact that will be seen in every corner or the world (a weir expression to use on a globe, but there you have it).

Is there plus plus?

An idea escaped me today. I might have had it before, but it stood in my brain rather still. You see I am playing Skyrim for the (fifth or seventh time) I played is when it was released on 11.11.11 and a few times then. This time was because o wanted to see if it was so much better in 4K (I only recently got a 4K TV) and I am having a ball, but there is a lot that is merely passing the time. I played it too often, as such I know what is coming. But wouldn’t it be great to ave a surprise in this case? As such I was thinking that if you do it again and you deal with Alain Dufont but you also need to deal with the quest by the elderly alchemist Frida. If you have also done the mission that Bothela from the Hags cure give you, you could get a letter from an additional mission (somewhere, somehow) which will be a mission you have never done before. (Like getting 5 Briar Hearts) you could add at least 9 missions to them and optionally a few more. The idea will make you consider every mission you have done and whilst replaying the game, you will get a few more missions. Don’t worry Skyrim had plenty of mission, there is a chance I have never seen a mission (I doubt it, but never mid the chance) and in a game this large the surprise of ‘I never had this mission before’ is a very welcome change of pass. Such missions are also possible in Horizons and I reckon they should be added through the side missions. Consider even one RPG, the idea comes like a merit giving extra in any game. There could be an extra to these missions (for any city you have a house) which would given you an optional bauble (a cosmetic extra) for your place, like extra tapestry (Markath) or a painting (Solitude), the extras that you could receive are numerous. And I am merely giving Skyrim as an example. The same thing could apply for a Fallout game or an Assassins Creed game. It opens up the benefit of replaying that game and it is important to make is as a NewGame++ option. Because as I see it, there was nothing wrong with the original games, thesis merely a little boost into getting the heart pumping towards that game. It could be that Kesh the Clean (Peryite) could given you an extra mission if you became a champion of Peryite and did one additional mission if you had given a gold coin to Lucia in Whiterunb. The possibilities are numerous but that extra will give the player a few small surprises in a game that they didn’t see coming and that is part of the charm or Skyrim (or any other RPG game). 

So as it is now time to emulate a sawmill, I take my leave from you all. Have a great day and enjoy the world we still have for now as President Trump is demanding the EU releases its diesel reserves. I reckon that things in the United States are getting worse quickly, so while Al Jazeera gives us “The European Union “fully rejects” a US demand to release emergency diesel stocks as the fuel’s price soars in the United States and elsewhere amid the war with Iran.” I reckon that the end is nigh in the United States. I always saw this coming, but the bully tactic to someone’s reserves is a new one. I reckon that things are about to get really bad. So time for adjustments to a game to give people something to look forward to. So whilst some are giving us “It comes as US President Donald Trump says he may ask European countries to release diesel reserves as he considers banning US exports of the fuel” I reckon it is time for the Commonwealth (particular Canada) give the EU a larger advantage and watch the United States turn from the inside out. So lets see how much oil Australia could send the EU (the United Kingdom too) It might not be much, not sire how much LNG and oil Australia drills for, but I am all for seeing that way from the United States (if they got any) it is the only response that bully tactics invoke on me. 

Have a great day all.

Is there PMS?

Yup, I went there. And I went there intentionally for the simple reason that this is about Predictive Modeling Security. It comes from the dangers of predictive modeling. I suddenly realised that President Trump wasn’t all that bothered with AI (apart from the class actions in play at present), the dangers are in a much more niche setting. You see, the main dangers off predictive modeling are numerous and there is every chance that all these fake AI’s are getting toppled by them. 

First we get Algorithmic Bias and Discrimination: Models train on historical data. If past decisions or societal data contain prejudices (optional predictive policing), the model codifies and scales them.This is a round about setting of the errors of historical data is a dangerous slope. It come clear through the absence of clear validation and verification (a setting I told you all about in my past stories going back months, up to a year ago I saw that danger pop up. But when we get away from all the fake AI and we concentrate on Predictive Modeling (what is more and more used) validation and verification becomes a much tougher nut to crack. But where is that and the answer is a speculated everywhere. Because when we ‘kinda’ accept bias in these fake AI settings, the presented concentrated in predictive modeling becomes a lot more dangerous and some make away with jokes. Jokes like “70% of women are medicating, this tells us that 30% doesn’t realise that they need medication” a simple joke that paints over the setting of bias and the dangers of what medication we are talking about. Two generalized settings and it is ‘laughingly accepted’ with the offsetting “It’s just a joke, don’t worry about it” but that is the problem and when we take a less simple setting like credit scores and optional housing scores. The setting intensifies, because now banking references are set in that same policing setting. So when were you last set in a banking dispute and someone told you, this is an obvious error and we will adjust that. But that is the ‘paint over’ setting, but who was thrown into that mix? Australia has a huge housing problem and that is where this setting of bias hurts the most. I reckon the United States as well, but that is speculative, because I have never lived (or ever want to live) in the United States. 

Then we get to Self-Fulfilling Prophecies: Accurate prediction models in healthcare or social services can alter human behavior or clinical care paths (e.g., withholding treatment based on a predicted poor outcome). This causes the prediction to become true even if the original forecast was flawed. Which is in a serious setting in any aging population, which by all accounts was most of the world. Apart from the setting that I do not call them ‘accurate prediction models’ the setting is that fake AI is riddles with these passages and it is not just withholding treatment, the setting of treatment that a person is rightfully entitled to is getting shoveled under the carpet in way too many expected cases and the danger here is seen in “This causes the prediction to become true even if the original forecast was flawed” but anyone who knew IT in the 90s knew this setting that not just flawed, it grew the setting of the GIGO law (Garbage In, Garbage Out) as such the fake AI which was flawed became unreliable at best and flawed data never ever becomes a true prediction. It is like doing the right thing for the wrong reason, the reasoning becomes corrupt and at best defeating the purpose. Make sure that you take notice of the ‘at best’ setting, because in this age where validation and verification are nowhere to be found the fake AI becomes a point of hindrance. And Personally I think that this is now becoming an issue and the is why we see people like Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, Elon Musk, Mustafa Suleyman, Sundar Pichai and Demis Hassabis becoming more and more cautious in all this, or at least that is how I see it. They all most have been aware of these settings, but I reckon that these settings are taking rather large settings and they are ‘whisking’ it away in the hallucinations setting of perhaps something like a rogue AI settings, but when you realise that this is all driven by advanced predictive analytics. The stage becomes a dangerous one. We see the joke with the setting ‘Is this mushroom edible’ and we laugh, but the underlying setting is not a joke and it is hammering on our rights in numerous directions. 

Then we get a part I am not too familiar with. It is the setting of Runaway Feedback Loops: In areas like policing or resource allocation, sending more personnel to targeted neighborhoods generates more recorded incidents in those specific zones. The model misinterprets this as proof of higher crime rather than a product of increased surveillance. (Source: Gilbert and Tobin) there are two settings in play, proper administration of case identifiers and the second are the sources under the cause of the action. I still think it comes from inadequate validation and verification, as such I could be wrong and the setting could be due to predictive analytics, but I reckon that this interacts with systems like Palantir and other systems. As such the interaction of more than one fake AI. But it could be relevant to this setting. 

Then lastly we get two elements and they seem to be connected, but they are not. They are the stages of confusing correlation with actionability and the actions of the premise of what correlates and what is actionable. It feels like Palantir, but it is not merely them, it is mostly seen in hospital records and the healthcare records and optional insurance records, this is what is the likely culprit in what I speculatively call the pretense of cause and effect and whilst insurance is setting the premise of ‘This is not covered’ and the other systems trying to adjust, because the doctor said it was essential. Most countries have a good handle on this, but I am not sure the United States is on that par. And it all interacts with a high risk of methodological flaws: Studies show that many machine learning prediction tools suffer from poor data handling, overfitting, or inadequate sample sizes, leading to a high overall risk of bias when deployed and that is where I am different. I always considered all AI (which I call fake AI) as a joke and I am not taking it seriously, especially after I got word of some acts by said bank. I was never able to get the released goods, but that is the setting we are in. And what I have stated for the longest time “It all comes down to verification and validation” until that happens you have a trillion dollar failure on your hands. But that might merely be me. So when did you get any good answer from any vendor on AI? As a funny reference I am going to the Changeling (1980) with George C Scott, a decent movie and I enjoyed it, but what is Eric Winter doing there? He was born in 1976 and the movie was made in 1979, he would have been 2 years old. He seemingly started acting in 1999. If Google cannot get that part right (IMDB did make the correct references, like the unnamed actor being Erick Vinther) how much faith can you have in any fake AI? A simple setting of validation and verification. Oh, and I called out that mistake close to two years ago.

So have a great day and maske sure that you verify that it is Friday, because you never know who hands you the data.

A string of rage

There are a few things that are intertwined. The first one is that the United States is stealing my IP again for whatever training setting they have and today it is a mere 2.1K articles. This coincides with the BS statement by president Trump giving us that ‘Trump wants Zelensky to ease strikes on Russian refineries’ (At https://kyivindependent.com/trump-wants-zelensky-to-ease-strikes-on-russian-refineries-ukraine-official-says-deal-must-go-both-ways/), but the dumbo dodo is not ware that wars go either way. It might want to go easy on Russia, but that doesn’t mean the Ukraine has to do that. Russia assaulted civilian targets of all kinds going back to February 2022. At that point some smart assed presenter told Russia and the world it would be a 48 hour setting, we now know that the second largest army in the world couldn’t defeat the 22nd largest army in the world and the settings go down after that. 

As we see, the Russians have already lost 1.5 million people and they are losing over 1000 a day, so the logistics is that the Russian army can sell whatever uniform they have to the population of the FSB, because as oil dwindles to zero, heating will become next to impossible. And perhaps the American population will take their looks towards Politico (at https://www.politico.com/news/2022/02/23/trump-putin-ukraine-invasion-00010923) where on that same day in February 2022, President Trump gave the world ‘Trump calls Putin ‘genius’ and ‘savvy’ for Ukraine invasion’, so is the redirected invasion of the Ukraine another failure of this Trump administration? It is there where we also see “Trump’s praise for the Russian president comes at a perilous geopolitical moment in Europe, where the Kremlin has amassed thousands of troops along the Ukrainian border. Already, Russian troops have invaded breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine that the Kremlin recognized as autonomous earlier this week. That recognition, as well as the subsequent invasion by Russian forces, prompted the U.S. and its allies in Europe to impose what President Joe Biden called “the first tranche” of sanctions against Moscow.” But that is not the whole story, is it?

You see, I have skin in the game now and I will act on it. So all these fake AI miners and data stealers have stolen my IP and they say it was in good faith, or that they are allowed to do that, because Trump gave us ‘Trump, AI CEOs sign voluntary safety pact, back data centre expansion’ with the subtext of “US President Donald Trump on Sept 29 said tech executives agreed to establish voluntary standards for AI and reiterated his support for rapid expansion of data centres, as concerns mount over AI safety and the industry’s growing footprint in communities.” And I suddenly realised something. My IP was meant for the destruction of Iran, but there is nothing stopping others from redesigning my IP into something that can be used against the USA. Railways and harbours in disarray, my IP sets the standards of these fake AI’s to something to be done against the USA. I still want my money, but now the disastrous setting that the USA faces can never be used against me. I never gave it to these fake AI vendors. 

And whilst we see that President Trump is pure pro Russian and Anti Ukraine, all whilst the Ukraine was attacked we can President Trump that he can go F*** himself as he gave president Zelensky ‘Trump wants Zelensky to ease strikes on Russian refineries’, I for one think that a lot more could happen to Russia, especially if 3 of the nuclear reactors are hit. Don’t worry my plan was not to blow them up, but when 3+ are out of commission, power and a few others settings become a near impossibility between November and April next year. I reckon that this is the least of bad luck settings Russia could be facing. I reckon that at that point the Russian population will revolt on mass. As such another escape plan of President Trump comes to a halt. Now he merely has Monaco and Nassau left and I reckon that these places will not have too much sympathy for President Trump either. And isn’t it weird that Australia and other places see that OpenAI is hacking them for months all whilst there is an urgent need for data centres? I wonder how long it will take certain people in power to realise that they are getting played in a massive way. But that might merely be my take on the matter.

So why now? Well I wanted that the ‘thieves’ of data set up shop in a multitude of ways and now there is no needing it and whilst I optionally walk away with millions, they get the scrub their data systems and I already gave you the settings that those systems aren’t working. My data is fully embraced in those systems. 

So is this merely me talking in anger? Well, in part yes, but I am looking at the rear or that train and I am seeing a total lack of control, as such I giggle in anticipation, because any reference that they make will be that they stole my IP, them being quiet implies that they have an escape and that leaves President Trump, and his AI dodo’s with the Ace of Spades. Simple logic and simple esthetical symmetry of events. I do believe I will enjoy this day. I wonder what will happen when the harbours in Texas and California get hit with assaults that their fake AI drove these terrorists to. Trump will be like those people at a funeral home answering to the ringtone ‘Another one bites the dust’ and the disapproving looks are given all over the place towards him. 

So a lovely day to all (except these thieves of my IP) and try to enjoy a great day.

Perchance to dream 

At times I dream (yes, it happens) and whilst I was in the middle of a dream, the premise changed. I don’t know why or how. But it remember this dream, where it changed to was known to me. I had the dream several times in earl 90s. It was based on the 1987 Dungeon master by Faster Than Light games. It is now and has been forever the game dungeon master games were sized to. It is still in the forefront of my mind, but there are irregularities, the dream suddenly changed, but my memory of that part is gone, it happens and I am not sure I a the one to tell you, because the knowledge is likely forbidden. It might be because I was accessing a part of knowledge I was not allowed to access. But I am just speculating. What does matter is that I was accessing my past on games I had played and it is not a sealed matter. I saw Dungeon Master, but from there I went to SunDog and I think one other stop until I faced the game ShadowCaster, then I remembered the weakness in that game. It was cool and neat, but the setting was incomplete, it merely looked Cool. But the setting of a good game is an inert weighting, a sense of balance. There is only one superman, but even he was balanced out through weaknesses of his pwn planet (Kryptonite) and then he had a weakness in magic. (Perhaps the makers saw that as a presumptive weakness as they didn’t understand the magical world. 

So Shadowcaster was a partial good game, it was clear in some and weak in others. There is a ploy to wreak havoc as Grost (the last form you get) and when your health becomes too low, you changed into Maorin and heal a lot faster. But that setting is not a great one. The idea was to get the different forms in a SunDog type of game though something that might sone kind of a Ben10 watch or some pendant. But the setting is limited at first, I am leaning towards the pendant as some ‘device’ is an easy way out and this pendant comes with a pentagram and that pentagram has 5 points. The idea is that that the pentagram could be top or inverted, giving us a good and an evil side. Also the game has an inner side to the pentagram, as such there are 2 times 5 characters, I am still working on the good versus evil side of it, but I reckon that it will be order versus chaos, evil versus good is so 50s. 

But again it is a setting born from the amalgamation of good games, optionally making a great game. And I realise that these good games were working with the limitations that we knew were in place but as I realise that really great games were made by Peter Molyneux and Sid Meier and they were able to create great games with only 64KB, should we not be able to emulate that greatness when you get 1000% of what they have? (Just asking), so as we travel to these ‘distant’ places and and the essence of these characters and add them to the pendant and the setting has two entrances a start of the order story and an entrance to the chaos game. But these settings are fluidic at best, but it sets you on your quest. Perhaps it is that you relish order because chaos is just to chaotic (or better stated, you do not relish the creative and free lifestyle that chaos driven people rely on) and it could be trivial like that. Perhaps you see that order versus chaos is a better fitting considering films like Star Wars and a host of other games and movies. As such there is a larger setting to all this and the setting for order versus chaos can take up lots of settings and this os part of the journey and as you consider that you are uniting vies, the storyline in this will be largely RPG based and as well united these stories over the 10 worlds we educate the gamer on the essential need for order to progress, but in all these worlds there is a need for chaos as well, the views might be opposite, but it anything is learned from the setting of Babylon 5, the setting is that we tend to be a combination of both as such there is not one good side and one evil side, even though it is partially seen, but the settings of good versus evil  and whilst some ‘attribute’ this to fundamental philosophical and religious dichotomy between selfless compassion and destructive selfishness, the setting of this also defeats the purpose as selfishness tends to be limiting, as does compassion. Ask any nurse on the weakness of compassion and they will grudgingly agree that in some cases it is essential to act selfishness. Star Trek (the original series) gave us that setting in a fight between good Kirk and evil Kirk. It was inspired on was inspired by Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Robert Louis Stevenson’s character who is struggling with his evil alter ego. The series gave us a little better setting where we have traits that are good and evil and we need to combine those. As such I feel that order versus chaos might be a better fit to the game. 

This is a setting where we have to unite these views in 10 worlds and we set the stage to these sides on different sides of the planets we are visiting. Basically we get 2 versions of the planet of any planet and we get the whole range of planets that are involved. Optionally we get other planets that are involved where we get no character but they still ave RPG levels that require resolving and there is the rub that some characters are required before missions can get done, so there is that implication coming your way as some levels cannot be resolved before you get into the water (dropping a cat in water is not always a great idea), I had the scratches to prove it (they healed over the years) but that is the premise of what I would hope would make a great game. 

Have a great day this day

Shadow time

In this age of games and remakes we tend to ignore a few games that fall into the crevices of success of storytelling. I personally liked the first game better than the second one. I am talking here of the Darkness. The storytelling of the first game is better and it gives a better telling of ones dark story. Together with the nitty and gritty, it is an absolute favourite of mine. I feel that the story was taken to the max and it gives a lot of potential, as such in this day and age it could easily be remade into a game that could score a 10 points stronger and it already had a great score. In stead of setting a ‘new’ stage, the New York stages were near perfect. The entire construction stages, the tunnel intro give a decent gritty organized crime setting. The setting of the back streets of New York are a great setting for stories. Although it is a lot of pew pew settings, the settings make sense. Nothing is too far over the top (beside there setting that his broken headwall was fixed.but that belongs to the story of the Darkness. There might have been limits to the Xbox360 setting, but the PS5 and Xbox X took care of those and as these boundaries are shot to shot, the game gets a decent setting of New York, complete with subways. Is it merely me? Do I miss these games? Yes, I do and I do not think I am alone here. Top Cow comics has its own fanbase and it is a significant one. There are also loads of people that do not adhere to DC or Marvel and that is fine. I myself started as a Batman fan, but Top Cow had its own appeal, as such their comics are decently build for gaming and I am of the mind that the Darkness is set to the top. There are more and there are great comics in either of these three houses to give rise to massive gaming, because like comics, games seek to the end of the individual and that is where the magi tends to happen. So when these ‘blockbuster remasters’ are done hashing up the same old for the next generation, they should consider the games that did not score 90%+ and see what’s they could make of that. As I said in the past the Atari 800/ST and Commodore 64/Amiga has over 10000 titles, if you just take the top 10% you get 1000 games with over a 90% rating. This makes for a decent business sense and when you consider that 64KB could be revamped in a 512KB game with klaxons that will blow the mind of nearly every gamer there is, there is ample setting for a whole range of gamer that will now get amazed for months with whole battalion of games. We can all wait for Horizon 3, the next god of war and so on, but that is simple idle time, nothing gets done in the process and the spin mongers and rumor mills on publishing houses now have the advantage with their slim articles leading with ‘What we know now’ I see a much better look with a gamer looking into the renewed form of Jackie Estacado and his escapades towards his uncle Paulie Franchetti and there is a decent chance that Mike Patton might want to voice the darkness again. All settings towards a good game and optionally now a better game. So what makes more sense, banking on a new game where the outcome is dubious, or putting your money in a fair game that could become legendary as they could optionally fix what was lesser than the whole? I leave you to thing on that, but remember Darkness was only one title there are obviously better titles in the Amiga/ST range that are ignored and the IP protection has been not been paid up and that opens up a whole new door for game makers. So what will it be? The media filling your brain with unsubstantiated rumors and speculation for 30 months on Horizon 3, or play to your hearts content those 3 months giving you real memories on what fun has been, should be and could become. 

Have a great day today
