The charm

Yup, third time is the charm and it is not a negative thing, or a horrendous thing, it basically is that the fifth item I got from IKEA is missing two screws. (just this one) Not a biggie, but it makes it now essential that I visit there again within two weeks (I got discount voucher on a non-related issue) and as I needed a new mattress the voucher was a great extra to get. Sometimes kara throws you a pebble which you need to catch. So whilst this is going on and I was looking at the world eating up the infidelity of some CEO and merely accepting that whilst ignoring all around it, I decided to look into gaming and the games coming. The largest one being Hogwarts legacy 2 and the ‘rumors’ we see. I have no idea what is real and what is speculation because I for the most wait until the makers give us the goods, or if the game is released. The last time I went for that trap was Cyberpunk 2077. Before that the issues were about Watchdogs (the first one) and I was happy to wait several months for the real deal to come out and not overreact to wannabe influencers. It was not a ‘great game’ but I still had fun playing it. The fact that the story in there was rather dark, as such I enjoyed it. So whilst I am enjoying Johnny Strides in the background and he is just passing either the CBC building or just a big billboard. Nope, saw CBC News on every pillar, as such he is at CBC News. So whilst I offered Portkey Games my IP ideas free of charge (providing it comes with the blessing of JK Rowling), yes I know it is an American company, but what people forget is that. Don’t hate Americans, I merely hate stupidity (I agree that these to words tend to be synonymous) But they aren’t. Not really and there are plenty of examples proving me right.

So whilst I was contemplating a new or upgraded version of Alohamora, not really a redesign, but additional logic, making is a game of chance for people to go into other peoples homes. Unlikely in the smaller towns, with the exception of perhaps shops. But also a new level of locks that could be magical or with an additional key as such the alarm goes off when they are partially busted. It would allow for the ethical side of the gamer and there is its additional side. When dealing with dark wizards ‘their’ alarm could be the release of an Inferius so in houses not just in tombs, making intrusion a game of chance to say the least. There is more, but it would seem that I did not totally approve off that game which is not true. I played it at least 4 times (once for each house) and I am not redoing Ravenclaw which I only got to level 9 first time around. And now I am almost at the second trial (the gamers know where I am). I keep on looking at the station of the game, but as I see it, the game is near perfect and it is a delight to play it again. The biggest concern is that like most RPG games it is like Go there-Do that-and be nice events. Not my favourite setting, but it does the trick of entertaining the troops (troops like me). So as I see it, there could be a larger gameplay created by inserting books in the library and let those facts get a hold for you and you could make it that the ‘keywords’ in these books are always in flux, and as such a Hufflepuff could get a different book than a Gryffindor gets and also different missions. So whilst some missions are the same they lead to different main missions, making the replayability larger and more fun, because we get the setting of someone needed help, but what if she needs different help in different areas of the game. You might know some of what comes, but the game remains entertaining fun and unexpected at times. There are off c ourselves missions where you cannot do that completely like the Oakes guy in one mission, but some alterations would happen. And that is just for starters. By adding a lot more competitiveness in the game between two houses. There could be an issue helping Poppy as a Hufflepuff and as one of the other house players. But these are just variations on a theme (as the expression goes) I think that largest increase of the next HL would be the storytelling, especially if the rumor that the game is more closely to the books and the release of the new series are. It allows the game to create some excellent origin stories to the people that Harry ‘scarface’ Potter will face, it makes for a much stronger story of the game and whilst the games main story might not be affected, it makes for a more verbose game and one that gets millions of additional players, especially when the TV series gets a lot of origin attached to the game. But that is merely my point of view. So whatever Portkey games does, is OK with me. The have proven themselves the first time around, so I have faith they can do that again.

Have a great day today, you Wizarding world you.

Decided value

This is a weird article, it is all me, I get that. But when you think of it, the setting we are given does not make sense. So here I was reading the article in the BBC less then an hour ago (at https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c6zjry11v8w1t) where we see ‘Nvidia shares plunge as board reportedly weighs ousting CEO Jensen Huang after second affair allegation’ so business people cut their own wrists as someone has an affair? This is not some affair involving children like Epstein (see the Epstein files). It is allegedly the setting of one adult person shoving his penis into another person of a different gender and they are doing that apparently with consent. As such  its board is ousting its CEO. If that was even really the case around (a speculative) 69% of all CEO’s would be pushed into the street.

So we are getting:

  • Stocks in the firm have plummeted after the New York Times reported that Huang had a second affair with an executive at the company.
  • Earlier this week, the CEO admitted he had been “unfaithful” to his wife and apologized to her and their children.
  • Jensen Huang has been crucial to Nvidia’s success and were he to be ousted, successors are thin on the ground, our technology reporter writes.

So the guy, the genius behind Nvidia likes sex? That gets him a place that is graced by every man under 40 on the planet. And lets consider Nvidia is (according to some) “Nvidia Corporation is an American multinational technology company headquartered in Santa Clara, California, that designs and sells graphics processing units (GPUs), artificial intelligence (AI) hardware, and computing platforms.” Is anyone accepting this story? Or is it possible that the first signs of an AI bubble are being hidden like a storyline in Peyton Place? So are the 11 board members of Nvidia really these presumed prudes of society, or are they perhaps facing a much worse setting and they are trying to keep safe their ‘earnings’ until they can put it into safe shores? So, whilst we are given in some statistics “Globally, research indicates that around 20% to 23% of married men admit to physical infidelity” the operative word here is ‘admit’. You see, when I was young (a long, long, long time ago) I worked in bars to get by as a student we had a saying over 80% of men are unfaithful, they either already are or they are going to be. There is no exception to that. And in that world Jensen Huang gets happy without Viagra and for that, that firm stocks plummet? How sanctimonious can one get?

As I see it, the AI party is over and the big ones are now shedding their trillions. Nvidia is the likely first, because it is the one dealing in GPUs, a essential part in all that and when AI goes no-one needs GPUs, but if they make it about infidelity, perhaps no one will be looking out of the corner of their eyes to the other firms. That is how I see it.

So, am I right, or am I wrong?

It is a fair question and answering that question reveals where you stand. Would you stomach an infidelity of a man (when it is not your wife) putting trillions at risk, or would you shrug your shoulders silently stating ‘lucky bastard’, because in thousands of places by dozens of women, their are too ‘sexy’ in the mind of some and they are willingly giving it away (consent will at all times be mandatory). You see it hotels and motels keep thorough records of the visitations, too many have going with their wife or husband whist their actual wife or husband is out and about, or slaving in their offices. So when you realise that Nvidia, a firm worth 4.19 trillion, with a market capitalization stands at approximately $4.30 trillion to $4.65 trillion, with shares trading around $170 to $184. It is now $158. This is not about someone being horny, or whatever the BBC is referring to. When it is about that much money it is about something else and as I see it, the arrival of the bursting AI bubble makes a lot more sense.

I’ll let you decide and consider that whilst you are valuing others, others value you too. Because saucer the goose, sauce for the gander is only fair. Now, let it be said that my version is pure speculation, but it is grounded in facts. There has been months of AI bubble speak and as far as

I can tell massively denied by Masayoshi Son (SoftBank) for months. Is this the first pebble that is now plunging in the waves of speculative acceptance of fake AI? And when this comes to blows and AI is seen as fake, will the boards of Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle, Google and Meta realise that they suddenly need a lot more workers than they have? For that matter, when we get to Microsoft with their “Satya Nadella imagines millions of AI agents working with Microsoft’s employees, as Microsoft offers voluntary exits to about 60000 workers.” But here is the rub. You see, as I saw it from the very beginning, there is no AI. It is a mere form of advanced Predictive Analytics. It is a fine tool, but it is a tool and when the inaccuracies and unvalidated data hit those millions of AI agents something will have to give and anyone relying on those AI agents will suddenly see that the workforce they had was doing a lot better and a larger readjustment is needed. As such as I see it, my valuation and those of my peers who are to be in the millions all over the planet are suddenly worth a lot more, because when you do business on unvalidated and unreliable data. Your sales pipeline goes seemingly nowhere.

But what do I know? I am now old and rejected by those smart AI speaking people. What I laugh I’ll have from the sidelines. And they are all boasting to their friends in their Mercedes-Benz with a brand new (younger) girlfriend. So what happens there? I actually do not care. I can just laugh at the sidelines when they impound that car and likely a lot more. That was the impact of a bubble, but who knows. Maybe I was wrong all the time and Masayoshi Son was right. In my reality I am more right then wrong and we are all based on ethical values whilst they all protect the family of Jensen Huang.

You all have a great day today.

Opinions differ

You’ll always have that in any field. I think that is why politics and diplomacy were invented (but I could be wrong), so I saw the headlines from people on YouTube on how Disclosure day is such a failure. I do not share that opinion that movie is absolutely brilliant, it is not as perfect as Project Hail Mary, but it ranks with the best 10 movies made in the last quarter century. I also believe that Courtney Grace is due the Oscar as a female in a supporting role. She acted with such emotions, it is absolutely breathtaking. She might only be in the movie the last 15 minutes, but she made her role impactful, she was that good. I reckon that Ryan Gosling gets best actor and the special effects team for PHM will get one too. Still, Disclosure day is about changes and the chase scenes in the beginning falls quiet against the end scenes in the studio and how all other channels pick it all up, it is mesmerizing to see. Steven ‘Jaws’ Spielberg outdid himself. I cannot tell if it is the best movie Steven Spielberg ever made he made too many over the last half a century and honestly I might not have seen them all. I know I never saw the Fabelmans (due to other influences not related to cinema) and I missed a few more. It was the start of a thought train, because it set things in motion. Not the opinion of others, they are entitled to those, whether I agree or not. You see, some of you might remember Beyond Two souls with Elliot Page and Willem Dafoe. The game was a great experience, now add Life is strange which gets us a time reset ability. Now consider Disclosure day, or better still Wardex. How they have been doing that for decades and that could make a massive level, almost in the trend of Guns of the Patriot (same kind of levels). Still they started small, so getting to ‘dissuade’ people from getting anywhere until you get the government attention and resources. But the game is not linear, you get to get to the end station on all levels with a score and with results. Now the setting changes and whilst the game is in the last level and you get a ‘disclosure’ like end result, but that ending only goes to what they got a hold of and that is decided throughout the game and a total victory is that the newscast is thrown out, the biggest loss is the newscast you saw and global attention.

The two games Beyond two souls and Life is strange are mere examples of the setting and I reckon a game like this has never been made before (as far as I know) and even I wonder if it could be done. You see, gaming is like any border setting. It is about moving the edge of that terrain forward. Through that you get better writing, better scenery and a better experience. So would it work? And it can be a unique setting, I am merely using the stage of Disclosure day as an example. The same could be done in several ways by pushing the great inventors of time making Gothenburg invent printing technology, making others make their contributions but you keep out of sight in all that. Archimedes, James Watt and a few more and that makes the game an educational tool. See how they came to the inventions that shaped our world. The issue is that we all have that now, but they did not, so what makes it work? See and get them to complete the design. It makes for a different puzzle, one you need to think your way through and there are hundreds of these examples and optionally expansions to such a game with an educational edge. So some see Hedy Lamarr as an actress (she was that too) But she set the groundwork for “she also co-invented a radio guidance system during World War II.” But in this age people seemingly have it all. The only way to teach them to surpass the boundaries of what they cannot see is to introduce the boundaries people had from the 2nd century BC onward. By teaching that, we might also create a much better engineer. It was Microsoft that created libraries of programming and it made sense when they did that, but now a 45KB app has 250KB attached junk and becomes an open wound of zero day settings. I do not blame Microsoft here, it made sense when they did this, but too many systems have devices and they are all filled with junk parts. And these junk parts could interact when there was no reason to do so. As such we need a much better trait to exploit and educations gaming might be a solution (there might be other solutions too), it is merely an idea I am considering, it is after all how I got to create several kinds of IP, out in the open and less so, but they are all original and I have placed several online so they become freeware. I wonder what more I can come up with at the end of my life.

Have a great day and if you haven’t done so yet, watch Disclosure day and Project Hail Mary. They are worth your time and great movies.

Contemplating extremity

That is the event I am seeing. Al Jazeera reported 8 hours ago ‘Saudi Arabia downs missiles fired at Riyadh after Houthi attack on pipeline’ we see here “Saudi forces intercept two missiles fired towards Riyadh, hours after reporting damage to key East-West pipeline.” As well as “Major-General Turki al-Maliki, a spokesperson for the coalition, blamed the Iran-backed Houthis for Tuesday’s attacks.” For the longest time in my life I have been a man of peace. This all might play into the hands of the United States and not anyone else. Perhaps it is time to reexamine my military IP to see what more we can de to stop Iran from assisting Houthi forces being a terror state. I still remain strong on make relevant harbours and train tracks inoperable. Has almost no civilian casualties and it stops whatever they can hand to Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthi forces without funds. And as their forces dry up from having to have weapons of all kinds,, which in the larger scheme of things help all the nations under attack from these 4 parties.

And Iran is happy, the United States has a wimp as president, they are happy because the United States with Israel instigated al this. And why? Whereis the Nuclear materials, where is the evidence? What is behind this? As I personally see this Exxon: Reported quarterly earnings of $14.5 billion to $15+ billion, Chevron: Posted quarterly profits around $12 billion and ongoing geopolitical tensions and the effective closure/disruption of critical shipping lanes like the Strait of Hormuz have tightened global oil and gas supplies, all this because the United States has a fearing idiot in its White House? It needs to fork over well over a trillion dollars every year in interest. This is not going away and why should the rest suffer because of bad money management of one nation? So whilst we heard ‘the golden age of AI is here’ too many are realising that there is not such a thin and they are paying each other and that is now ending too. So whilst the markets adjust a multi trillion amount we are left to watch not to bright politicians go ‘oops’ and we are left with a mess as such I gave Saudi Arabia and the UAE the means to deal with Iran and in my setting no $43.6 billion through Sep 3, 2026 would have been required, because I aimed for what stops revenue and the blockade is still running. What they leave out I that the United States is now weaker than ever. It will take years for its missiles to be remade and the costs are not given anywhere. So whilst the United States is fighting a war on two fronts, its banks on one side and their enemies and allies on the other front, because as I see it, the United States no longer has any friends, so it can easily make matters worse for everyone else. And any strategist could have seen the impact that my solutions had, I worked from history and France during WW2 proved my point in one instance and the other instance was proven during the Atlantic wars, it had 6 wars between those my strategy made sense. Of course it is not an exact science, but the Iranian harbours had a few weaknesses to exploit, but take out the trains and the harbours and Iranian has a few other issues and rearming their terrorist arms (Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthi) comes to an end and right quick, that is the reality of this. I get that Iran takes up arms against the United States and Israel, It was under attack, but the attacks on Aramco, ADNOC, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and other gulf states is their weakness too, because they see oil going to the western fronts and they cab’t have that and with the current administration they see there chance for a large seat on the oil table and whilst they sell to India and China they see their chance and as I see it the Houthi terrorist need to be stopped as such their supplier and backer Iran becomes a major track and whist it think it is safe because of the acts of idiocy by the United States (by the US proclaiming victory over 60 times) they see their path clear and keep the Straight of Hormuz closed, but stop their infrastructure and their problems become fivefold because any handle on this requires an infrastructure and when their Approximately 12,998 kilometres loses over 20% their paths become a massive drag and it all is slowed down further by delay over delay. It took me a little over two days to set to mind and paper and no $43.6 billion was required. As I see it, as little as $25,000,000 would be needed to make the ideas reality and as the adopting of something like a DJI FlyCart 30 is minimal refitting a $20K drone might be all that is needed to give the Iranian transport a massive slap in the face. No billions were required in stopping one side and the required other side is a much cheaper drone with claymore on its side and partially destroy refineries. Some casualties are expected there, it is the expectations of watching flammable stuff go boom. Still the overall costs stays well under $50M, so why does the United States not consider this? Why is it making these stupid settings, because if the Gulf is in trouble they look less like losers and optionally they get an extension on the loans they have and they have over 40 trillion of those, whilst the Gulf states (Saudi Arabia and the UAE) are largely debt free, or at least in a much better manageable state and Iran is making that equation fall south through its terrorist arm. And I say that this has to stop and I think that there is both and upside and downside on this. The upside is that its General Intelligence Presidency under Khalid bin Ali Al Humaidan, requires a redesign because as I see it, the amount of failures (I expect through the CIA) requires redesign and rearmed with ‘better’ intelligence tools that are not based on American ‘ideology’, I am not sure where to go and I understand that the Israeli foundation is not a way they want to go, but there is also the Chinese solution and it is (as stated by some of their enemies) top notch. Then there will become a handle on the intelligence on armament paths for the Houthi terrorist and they could reaffirm the strategy to keep Aramco and Riyadh safe (other cities too). And perhaps that will open weaknesses on the Iranian sides too, but that is pure speculation from my side.

Have a great day today,

Misdirection

That is what it feels like and it does that because I looked into these things from a surprise point. You see, in the last two years I looked at the Hajj, not because I am a Muslim, but because of the Saudi responsibility that they took for their pilgrims. A pilgrimage that takes care of over 1.8 million people in 5 days is a huge undertaking and as far as I can tell, they had less health victims then a Taylor swift concert having 500,000 attendees. Consider that 300% more attendees and less victims. They had arranged for cooling spots with water and shade settings. It would still have been hot and there is no denying that. There is just one thing. The attendees must have an official Hajj Pass. It is the only way this is possible, there are just too many people to deal with and that is the directive that the Saudi government gives. You must be registered and you need to have a Hajj permit. The Guardian gives doubt on this and the story of Zirrar Ali’s story by making it a climate breakdown. My reasoning for this is “If your group hasn’t organised transportation, you have to walk between three places, wearing sandals. They’re quite close to each other, but because of traffic and lack of transportation, half an hour away becomes four hours.” We were all clearly told that there was busses organized for all holders of the Hajj pass. The Hajj pass gave you access to the busses, then we get a debatable setting “You can’t rehydrate or get shade. The heat quickly becomes dangerous. Volunteers give away cold water. I would get a bottle of water and down it in about five seconds, feeling like I’m going to pass out.” That is debatable, because of the two images we are all given:

Where we see that these tents are shaded and even included an organized setting of zircon units.

Then we see a tent setting where people stayed overnight and it is the biggest tent setting I ever beheld (on a picture) but I have never seen anything like this.

But there is one hitch, they are meant for the holders of the Hajj permit. And I saw the website where all the registration could be done, it was by far one of the most impressive sites I ever beheld. It was wholly impressive. The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah had delivered (in my eyes) pure perfection. They had years of experience, but the perfection I witnessed was still overwhelming. So as I see “There’s a fight for any shade. There are people sleeping in the compartments where you put the luggage in buses. People are trying to find one little angle where the truck or the car will give you shade. That’s the difference between getting heatstroke and not. Elderly people are passing out under a tree or near the entrance of the mosques.” I see that the Guardian is claiming pure nonsense, if this happens it is because of people who didn’t want to go the pure way, the Hajj permit way. People who got duped by dodgy tour operators and they should have done a much better job of their journalism, not making it a “This is climate breakdown” story. I reckon that when you get to “You spend that night sleeping outside in the open, on pebbles and dirt with thousands of people. We went from being very individualistic people into one cohesive body. At the start of the hajj, I’d seen people jumping queues to get on to buses and fighting. By the end of the five days, you realise: “No one else is going to help us. We have to help each other.” This is no longer: “I’m from country X, therefore I’m more eligible for this than you are.” You give advice, you give your umbrella, you give water. I realised this is what I came for.” The Hajj gives all kinds of options and busses, so this is utter nonsense. I might accept that Hajj permit owners might want to stay the night at Mount Arafat, I reckon that is a purity feeling of a Muslim, but that feeling would be one of a Muslim, I am not one. But I have seen (wth my own eyes) the extent the Saudi Government went to to make every Hajj a decent experience, from military kitchens that bring more perfection than the kitchens of the United States Army does (not disrespecting the kitchens of the US army) but even YouTube shows how some of the kitchens are managed and it is impressive to see. We see the tents and yes there are volunteers in the field and some might hand water to non pass holders. It is up to them. But this article is all about deflection and misdirection. The one issue we do not see is that “About 83% of the deceased were unregistered pilgrims who lacked official permits.” So 1301 victims, in a Hajj where 1.6 million attended. This means that the Hajj had 221 victims in an event where 1,600,000 attended. I think that this number is unbelievable. It comes down to 0.0138125% fatalities in a setting of almost 2 million. That is almost unheard of and I see it as a clear sign that the Hajj is managed to utmost perfection and the Guardian had no business doing the article they did, especially when they leave out the factors I just mentioned. You don’t have to be a Muslim to admire the achievement the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah delivered here. Just my take on the issue.

Have a great day today

My name is nobody

No, I am not terence Hill, but the title makes sense, you’ll see. I saw the news from a few outlets and they brought some thoughts to the forefront. Lets start with (source: https://tech-insider.org/au/oracle-shares-fall-microsoft-ai-capacity-wind-down-australia-2026/) which gives us ‘Oracle Falls 4% as Microsoft Reportedly Ends AI Deal [2026]’ then we get to FXLeaders who (at https://www.fxleaders.com/news/2026/11/08/microsoft-cuts-oracle-ai-cloud-lease-threatening-100-level-for-orcl/) gives us ‘Microsoft Cuts Oracle AI Cloud Lease, Threatening $100 Level for ORCL’ I saw these two at the same time, but the stories gives me different thoughts. So when we get in the first story “The timing still matters. It lands days after Oracle priced a large equity and debt raise, and just after Oracle AI World pushed a long list of new multi-cloud and AI announcements. It also follows a separate reported cancellation of a Tencent chip lease, so investors now have two reported pullbacks from large AI-capacity customers to weigh. This analysis sets out what is confirmed, what is only reported, and what Australian teams should check this week.” As well as in story two “Oracle Corporation shares (NYSE: ORCL) faced renewed selling pressure following reports that tech giant Microsoft is winding down a major contract to lease artificial intelligence computing capacity from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The move has sent tremors through Wall Street, sparking concerns that Oracle stock could test the critical $100 psychological support level as hyperscalers re-evaluate third-party cloud rentals.” Let’s take a small tour through memory lane as that Telly Savalas clone told us in April 2025 ‘Satya Nadella says as much as 30% of Microsoft code is written by AI’ (I’m sure his name was Satya, not Telly), as such does this ‘partnership ending’ make sense? Does Microsoft have the computing powers to dot it all alone? No, the bubble is making waves, the fear is that Microsoft (at present) 3.94 trillion, might be the first one who dips below 3 trillion. As such they need to dump whatever they can and whilst we see Microsoft in some green light trying to make Oracle to look like the weak player and I am not having it.

The bubble is coming to an end, the large corporations are dumping what they can and soon we will get the predictive analytics settings will take less computing power, but the harm is done and as someone in IBM is telling us that there is 8 trillion in infrastructure that no one can pay for. I was way ahead of the person in June and optionally even earlier but at that earlier point I had no idea that they were gambling with stakes that high. I would think the big short of 2008 would have been a good learning moment. It seems to me that they were doing that again. Hoping to bluff their way to the upper echelon. But IT demands proof and it was not coming. So then we get to Reuters (which was behind a paywall, so no go there) then we get Barnhart who in a likely unrelated side give us (at https://www.barchart.com/story/news/8724636/oracle-just-walked-away-from-a-7-billion-tencent-deal-heres-what-it-means-for-orcl-stock) ‘Oracle Just Walked Away From a $7 Billion Tencent Deal. Here’s What It Means for ORCL Stock.’ Where we see “The Crash Nobody Saw Coming, Let’s talk about the pain first. ORCL hit a 52-week low of $111.6  on Thursday.The reasons are many. Broader market sell-off; immense capital expenditure costs are being seen in terms of AI data centers. People are too ticked off about their debt. The Tencent cancellation now brings additional uncertainty to the nervous market.” Well, then my name is nobody and I got there by the simplest reason of all. One of the older saying is:

You can fool some of the people all of the time

You can all of the people some of the time

You can never fool all of the people all of the time

This is one of the older settings and in all this this is what all this fake AI is about. Predictive Analytics is real and it is a powerful tool, especially when it is done in combination with LLM. But in the end it is simply fake AI. This fake AI needs data, as such Oracle is needed (only people from the brand Disciplus Simplex believe that Azure or whatever Amazon uses might suffice) the only tool that does the best setting is Oracle, as such I remained faithful to Oracle. Even when the people figure out that ‘True AI’ (to give it a recognizable name requires Trinary data, Oracle will be able to jump that data (when the hardware is ready) from binary to a binary-trinary system. How this will go is still out in the open. I personally believe that binary systems will get an added AI-coprocessor (an epsilon co-processor if it will be stated as such) the completely create trinary servers will take a lot longer and as such this way you can have both whilst a data drive will be dedicated trinary data. This is a presumption by me, not a given fact.

So, as I see it, the larger corporations are now in a bend they want to avoid a complete burst of the bubble and they are all trying to back out of some of the parts they can and as I see it, the media is assisting them. And in the Oracle-Tencent deal we see “Earlier this year, Oracle inked a five-year agreement with Tencent involving the deployment of approximately 100,000 chips of state-of-the-art AI at data centers in the Southeast Asian region. The estimated value was $7 billion. Tencent decided to pay about 30% in advance. Then, Washington got involved. US authorities were concerned. Oracle listened. The company walked-off.” Knowing how the United States are anti-Chinese this makes sense, but that also sets Oracle in a deeper well, because seven billion ain’t hay as the expression goes, so Oracle needs to find new revenue fields and will they? Time will tell, but I remain pro-Oracle in my mind, because they have been evangelizing data for over 30 years and they earned there marks. So whilst we listen to whatever is in charge of Microsoft try to swim back the “as much as 30% of Microsoft code is written by AI” because we can go two ways from there. You see, predictive analytics can only go where the data can take them and as 30% comes from that, there is every indication that Microsoft is about to get riddled with zero day issues. This is NOT a given, but speculatively that makes sense. So what will business do when they are confronted with such a dangerous premise? They go somewhere else and that is why I see that Microsoft is likely the first to dip below 3 trillion and that much of a dip will hit Microsoft in several places and all at the same time. Oracle?  Well it is only 351.96 billion, sounds like a little (it is when you say it fast) but they will not take this much of a dip and when Microsoft and Amazon make such dips, Oracle and Snowflake will be the only contender in the field, the anti Chinese sentiment in the United States and EU make it so, so n the cleaning phase Oracle is surviving fine and now they need to get as much rehired as they can especially in the normal DB world. Personally I reckon (and am happy) that these levels of stupidity will hurt Microsoft plenty (yay me) but I digress. Perhaps IBM with its Database systems (IBM Db2) will pick up parts of this fallout too. It was never (talking about 80s) very user friendly but it was robust and good quality, both elements one might not state about Microsoft.

So, consider that one source gave us “The Crash Nobody Saw Coming”, what a joke. When reading the works of Alan Turing it was clear that what we saw was not AI and he wrote that setting 75 years ago, no matter what marketeers say, the setting is that it was not AI, it was (what I call) fake AI and that gives you the setting you need. So you have a great day and should you get that Nespresso and it starts the machine 30 seconds before you press the button, the moment of AI comes a little closer and that is a test you can do yourself.

Have a great day

Drowning

That is how it feels, so I also changed subject mid article. The drowning feeling is the setting that people do not have time to play a dozen games. It gets worse, they never did have that time. Even students need to reserve time for non-gaming intent. In 2027 dozens of games are being released for almost every console. I would get it if there is a mere 4-6 games in 2027 and I get it that not every game is for everyone. I am not a GTA player and many others are. So consider that you have GTA6 and a dozen other games to play. How many games will you actually play in 2027? And that is disregarding some other games that are getting rereleased. It seems like they are all in the understanding that every game is getting played, but the population of each game will vary. I’ll make it ‘worse’ There are decent AAA games coming up, but I would put them aside to see Bethesa’s Fallout 3 on the PS5 (if it comes there), we all have out personal priorities. And this setting is getting weird. In the ‘old’ days we all had our CBM Amiga and Atari ST, some people had a playful PC, but there were three systems. Then the Nintendo and PlayStations were added and some games were released on every console, because it offered them all the game play they got and that is OK. But now ‘everyone’ wants to go into gaming, because the market states that there is “The global video game market is estimated to reach $367.9 billion in 2027, according to industry forecasts” and they all want a part of that slightly over $365 billion dollars, that’s a billion a day. But until we see the granularity of that data we realise that the young people asked the question get to hear that they want to play EVERYTHING and that comes with two setbacks. The first one is they don’t have that kind of time and the second part is that they (or their parents) cannot afford all that. And that number is ‘tainted’ with advertisement revenue ‘hidden’ in mobile gaming. This is my speculation, not my understanding.

No matter how we look at it, there is a rather rough frontal hit between gaming and revenue hitting. I still believe that Bethesda is in a good place, they created a massive following (before they became a Microsoft product) and now? Microsoft started the doubt, because they wanted everyone on the Microsoft console. By creating that doubt I decided to put my gaming IP free to all non-Microsoft developers. Let’s call that ‘directed’ discrimination. The funny part is that if Microsoft objects, it means that they spend around $100 billion to non producing companies. It makes them looking like a failure (a bonus I like) if they want to buy it, I get paid. Two directions I like, even though I like Sony buying my IP a lot better, an elderly man needs to pay their debts and pay for the lollies to make him enjoy life in the sun on a porch of balcony. But as I see the amount of people ‘making’ their gaming solution I do not feel drowned out. I know the expertise I gained over 40 years. But these massive amount of firms are going to get a real reality check soon enough and I reckon that this will be in 2027. To see anyone do decent in an age of GTS6, God of war: Laufey, Tropico 7, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, Fable is massively delusional. And that is before the ‘real’ RPG’s come out. If you think that you are making a decent penny, the only option is to make a mobile game and hope for the payout of the advertisement revenue it brings.

Change the routine

Yup, that was enough of gaming (for now) you see energynow.com is giving us ‘Canada to Fast Track Oil Pipeline Designed to Diversify Economy Away From US’ we see (via Reuters) the setting “Canada will fast track the approval process for a new proposed crude oil export pipeline to its west coast that could generate over C$20 billion ($14 billion) a year in GDP, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Thursday.” Which bluntly means that the United States is using additional revenue, and gaining the loss of oils. Good news for Canada, and optionally EU as well, because in this way they are gaining an oil route. So whilst we are given ““A pipeline to the west coast is part of our mission to transform our economy, to double our non-U.S. exports over the next decade… (and) to unlock our full potential as a global energy superpower,” he told reporters in Fort McMurray, hub of Alberta’s oil sands industry.” I personally fully support this, this administration shows the world what happens when you become the slave of banks and the interest that is due and I don’t believe that the democrats will do any better in that regard. The debt of $40,000,000,000,000 will suffocate any budget as close to 30% is needed to pay the annual interest and it will merely get worse. I feel no sympathy for that, I told them this situation over 25 years ago. As early as world animal day (October 4th 2021) I wrote ‘Utter insanity’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2021/10/04/utter-insanity/) I gave the setting and now the debt is over 250% more. So whilst we see the United States coming up with the Trump blame, a better kind of trump card. The setting was a lot older. He definitely didn’t help matters. So whilst some will say the United States is unbeatable, it will get better. Consider that all fake AI is not the golden egg. Consider that the world is catching on the the markets took a $2.4 trillion dollar hit, all wiped out. And when the few conifer that there is a market for predictive analytics, they will survive and some papers stated that AI has not brought any revenue to most of them. Now consider these losses whiles commodities are now largely ‘seemingly avoiding’ the United States. Some through hostilities of weapons (Iran) some through hostilities of politics (Canada) and all that, they called it ‘Cheap oil’ is vacating to different shores. So now the United States has Brent Oil and it has one price, one price for all. As such the United States is likely to be a lot less mobile in the next three-five years.

So where do these lost revenues go to? They will get to a stage where the The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will be more powerful than the United States Department of Defense and its 5 sided building (Pentagon). You think I am kidding? Think again.

Have a great day today.

Procreating from media to media

That has always been the case. Gaming was a direct setting to movie and TV. They had a lot of similarities. And whilst we remember the first time we activated Tomb Raider on the Playstation, there was no surprise that a movie became a fact less than 5 years later and it came starring the sequence on ‘hotness’ of the 90s Angelina Jolie. Yet it wasn’t all sweet gaming. That same year gave us Resident Evil where in almost the same time span Milla Jovovich got to wield her killing skills. Gaming and media are connected in many ways. I was realising this whilst I was making a list of the games whilst I was rewatching season 1 of Fallout. So whilst we see the upcoming God of War an d Death Stranding. We wonder where it could go. I don’t think anyone realized the amazing hit Five nights at Freddie’s became, or where the sequel took us and now there is a third movie in design. The larger part is what media designers had to content with because these games all had a massive lore behind it to make the game as versatile as possible. As such Bethesda had the largest goldmine to prosper from, but they were not alone. Fallout became a huge success, in part due to the cast, in part to the storylines they evolved. But they were not alone. I always wondered why no one engaged with Richard Garriott on his Ultimate series. It predates elder scrolls by at least a decade and the lore that Ultima 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and X held, together with the Ultimate Underworld series. It could make for some fabulous seasons. The setting that Ultima 4 introduced makes for a larger setting towards episodes. Especially as the 8 characters (7 plus your character) gets to set a trail of episodes. Love, Justice, Courage, Honor, Honesty, Sacrifice, Spirituality and Humility. So as the series digs into those, whilst taking out some badasses and monsters. There is a simple setting that could evolve over time using the right scriptwriters, whilst staying true to the original sentiment of Ultima. So whilst we look at what comes next, we need to consider what was done before and done with almost spectacular precision. Zo whilst now we see Fallout season 2, with the Tyrannosaurus rex which we saw in Fallout: New Vegas. We forget all the things Fallout introduced us to in Fallout 3, it was more than the Brotherhood. There is a setting that could be transferred in Ultima. There we had mantra’s and stones. What if you start with one stone Perhaps Blue (Honesty) which would allow you into two directions Green (Justice) or Purple (Honor) it is one way to shape a story and it could be a larger way to shape any series, whilst the entries of a game are open to the settings. The limitations of the story could direct any setting in another way and whilst we draw out the map. Which was done really well by Richard Garriott. The intent could be shaped by the writers where the story evolves. And I have always be a true believer in the slogan of FX ‘The story is everything’ and Ultima has a larger setting than nearly anyone else (Bethesda being the obvious exception), but as I see it, these production houses have their hands full and as such there are options in several directions and as I see it, the Ultimate series is a predictive first.

Have a great day today and if you have your own series consider how that series is transformed into an almost award winning series.

What we mentally reject

That is where I am at. People who know me have known that I have always ben on the side of the UAE and I am ready to reject the premise that the Deutsche Welle gives us, but it is not that simple. They give us ‘Iran war turns Dubai into a Ghost city’ and I hate to admit it, but Iran has thrown the hatchet down to the UAE. I would still stand with the UAE and I did by handing the UAE my military IP free of charge (as well as Saudi Arabia) it is yet another example that eradication of Iran is becoming an essential thing. I do not fault them for attacking in retaliation to the US and Israel, these are legitimate targets because of the events that took place, as ‘my’ bible educates me to turn the other cheek, I see that as a legitimate reason to destroy Irans refineries, their harbours and their manufacturing options. Seems merely fair play. However, we can see that the terror vision of Iran is making an impact, that is beside the Bitcoin bitches that ran for their life on day one shouting that their lives were in danger. There is a solution, because these 10 images are direct, but could be made in several ways. To counter one is to create YouTube videos, almost everywhere. Like they did months ago. This time, it could be the UAE population giving us the views in the malls, the sites and the walkthroughs of places, beaches, entertainment sections, malls, Dubai has a population of 4,807,185. These people got somewhere? Why not film these events and make sure that Dubai remains on the video map. In 2024 Abu Dhabi had a population of 4,135,985. Same thing applies here. Last year the tourists were making videos of great places and theme parks. So why aren’t the locals doing that? And the numbers are out there “As of 10 May 2026, the UAE has intercepted and destroyed 551 ballistic missiles, 2,265 drone attacks and 29 cruise missiles fired from Iran” but the important numbers were missing, you see as far as I know less then 1% made is through and only 1% of 1% hit something substantial, which implies that my ‘criminal’ act of jay walking has a better odds of creating a self inflicted issue. I have no real numbers, but the statistics of getting hit in such a way is seemingly a lot less than getting hit by an attack in the UAE from Iran. As such these films should bare out that the UAE (particularly Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah) should be a lot safer that the images make them out to be. Don’t get me wrong, I am all for destroying the infrastructure of Iran, but it seems to be that with a ‘presented’ damage of $600 million a day, it seems to me that doing something about that takes priority. OI reckon that ‘flooding’ YouTube with videos of how sweet life in these places are and optionally setting the same videos to Instagram, TikTok and Rednote (sometimes called Redbook) as such, as we see the ‘statistics’ for TikTok (which is 1.36 billion to 2 billion monthly active users worldwide) and Youtube gives us an approximate of 2.58 billion monthly active users globally. It seems to me that these two alone gives us half the planet. As such there is a reason for Emirati’s to take their camera to the streets. And it seems more ‘pacifistic’ to embrace peace, but I feel a righteous anger to inflict massive damage on the harbours and railways of Iran. The UAE government might even address the knowledge levels of the Emirati’s by making sure that they have the skills to edit and Ill bet you dollars for doughnuts (an American expression I actually love) that the local population might love showing the people on this planet just how lovely theses places are. The idea of teach a population the options of creating excellent video’s on your Android Mobile (yes, I know Apple has its own system, but I am an android person). We can accept the news in Deutsche Welle (which might be absolutely accurate at https://www.dw.com/en/iran-war-turns-dubai-into-a-ghost-city/g-76454537) but we could see these images in another light.

  1. A man sitting sad outside his shop.
  2. Someone browsing the news in a fashion shop.
  3. An empty street at the back of a building. For all I know it was taken behind a building on Al Marabea’ St.
  4. A shot of an empty beach, the UAE which could have been taken at 06:00 (when most people are emulating saw machines, aka snoring)

I am not saying that this is what happening, but it could be. These images might harm tourism as well, but the alternative is to go to the United States, an option much less appealing. I still have great hope that I could spend a few hours floating on a tube down the Al Raha River (it is a very nice idea). I think it is important to counter the article in the Deutsche Welle and I am not saying that the article is a lie, but at present there isn’t anything showing us detailed views of what is happening and when the tourists stay away, we will not see a lot of videos on the locations and subjects. As such I think it is a good idea to show food courts, foods, like the options in AlBaik Dubai Mall (also on my bucket list) If there is nothing, people start speculating in every direction. When we see a mall filled with people (with 4,807,185, at least 1% goes to the Dubai mall, meaning that there are at least 48000 people in the Dubai mall in a day. So why aren’t we shown that? And I say that these videos would trump the millions that Iran is throwing away, we can still deal with their infrastructure on a video break, as the expression would go.

And as idea go, I don’t think it is the worst idea to have.

I reckon I am giving the Emirati’s something to this about today and as it is just past 5PM, plenty of Emirati’s are likely out and about to have tea, coffee, ice creams and other snacks (I apologise for not knowing what times mosques are to be attended).

Have a great day today.

No longer as usual

That is what I realised. I saw the clip of RRR yesterday and its amazing clip Naacho, Naacho which is the most amazing choreography I have ever seen. But as I was watching the 4K version of Oliver (1968, Carol Reed) something occurred to me. You see, as the age of DML (Deeper Machine Learning) is used in shows using tools like Claude. It occurred to me that additional tools like Choreography in dancing, music, fighting (like the Hidden Dragon of Oz and the Wizard of Crouching Tiger) in an artificial element they will need additional libraries and you can either hope to create such a movie, or create the tools that these directors will need. You see, this is the start of a whole new field, but the larger elements are not created yet. Now you can design your library (and many will do), but the work requires more and elements where the actors have the ingrown knowledge (Michelle Yeoh) through years of training, but in the world of artificial designs that knowledge is missing. And now you can design the setting for each character, or consider the setting that the bar dance by Shani Wallis can be added to the setting in a mere click. It isn’t that simple (because there is something like copyright) but the elements are open and could be collected in a setting where these elements are added to an art work of your own. There are likely some tools, but when something like Claude gets implemented, it will require tools. And in these beginnings, those who create these tools will have a leg up from the rest that follows. And it looked to me that at present there is a larger need for knowledge libraries of all kinds and this world tends to not take notice of the second place, unless it carries massive new features that the first one overlooked. As we were given two days ago “McKinsey & Company estimates that the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence in film and television could result in $60 billion in annual revenue being redistributed across the industry within five years of mass adoption” when that much money is involved, it becomes important to supply that world with the first tools and make a name for yourself. Because people will not remember Jonathan Gay, but mention Adobe Flash and almost everyone remembers what that was. And as they ‘call’ it Artificial Intelligence in film and Television, that setting will require a whole new range of tools and that range is being thought of at present. The additional use is that these tools might flower up Game production as well and that is at present is valued at approximately $200 billion to $214 billion in annual revenue as of 2026. I reckon that some hungry for fame and fortune (particularly fortune) might be looking at this world and look at what is  currently missing.

Just a thought that was passing my mind while enjoying the work of Carol Reed with Mark Lester, Ron Moody, Jack Wild and Oliver Reed. Well, next up is the 4K version of First Contact, whatever will I think of next?

Have a great day today.
