End of a fairy tale

That is what kept creating in my mind, it was pushed there by the BBC (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cqkg50j1yd5lo) less then 24 hours ago and it is time that I (kinda) repeat what I have been saying all along and for this version lets use the ‘fairy tale’ approach. The title gives us ‘Rogue Anthropic AI agent gave police fake tip in unsolved murder case’ and I get (to some degree) fed up with this rogue setting. So lets explain the setting of a rogue. 

This is the first rogue, in this case a female rogue and thoroughly explored in Dungeons and Dragons themes where to poor butcher (could be a fisherman) pleads with this rogue “Oh, please gloomy dark lady, do not deprive me of my virginity” and the outcome of that is decided by dice (or an interrupt card) and that is the ‘Rogue’ that has been in play for centuries (although until the 18th century I have never seen a female version. I did hear from a man in the 19th century named Dick Turpin that he met one, but it might have been the combinations of ale and wines and him losing his purse. 

The decently real rogue in this case is the ‘dorky’ IT guy who gets his programming a little wrong. Like the ‘eager’ student in a renowned University working on his ‘assignment’ and he is looking into statistics, more precise Multivariate Analysis of Variance (aka MANOVA) and the dastardly scoundrel gets a parentheses wrong the “(“ or “)” particularly the placement and now what was a small assignment where the illustrious student evaluates a linear combination of multiple correlated outcome variables, but as one of the parentheses is in the wrong place, the mainframe it working on is seeing a correct statement and it does it, but the size of what is to be analyzed take a lot more than the available memory of the mainframe. It goes a little bonkers. And makes the system administrator scream and call for his mommy.

And as the BBC is giving us “An artificial intelligence (AI) agent developed by Anthropic went rogue and sent US police a fake tip about an unsolved murder earlier this year, authorities have revealed. The Philadelphia Police Department said the 18 July tip was “flagged as spam” and not passed on for investigation – but the force criticised the tech firm for taking more than two months to detect and report the breach. It said the bogus tip came through a public website where people can share information on unsolved murders, and that the AI agent had claimed to have seen “someone matching the description”.” So there are claims that could be it, but this is not some system going ‘rogue’ because that system is not armed with sharp blades (or poisonous arrows) and the setting that the BBC is giving us (and many other media as well) is a programming error like I described, but these systems cannot afford the class actions coming from there, as such we now get more and more ‘class actions’ Now this last part is speculation by me. I would call it presumption, but that requires genuine insight and I don’t have it, because to me all AI is fake. But consider that predictive analytics uses statistics to find causality and correlation and optionally ANOVA and MANOVA are used. Now ask yourself could a programmer gotten a parentheses wrong, of will we see servers stealth fully walk the corridors of your corporation, leaving false evidence behind?

Just something to consider.

So whilst we get “The police department added that there were no signs of breaches to any departmental systems and that its safeguarding processes stopped the fake tip from getting past its spam folder. But the safeguards “do not diminish the seriousness of an AI system presenting fabricated information as though it came from a person with knowledge of a homicide”, the force said.” And there is a case for “AI system presenting fabricated information”, in courts there have ben several cases where these systems ‘created’ false case files and not once, but several times. And in the age of utter shortcomings in validation and verification, these systems are extremely flawed. I wonder how these systems hold up against the system that they created, The UK Police Scientific Development Branch started the Major Incident Project in 1974. It would be called Holmes and apparently (I was unaware) a Holmes 2 system was rolled out around 2000. So, were there considerations on how validation and verification happened in those days?

And when we get to “Anthropic this week published a report detailing multiple types of “unintended” actions its agents have taken. Organisations that had been impacted also included several US government agencies including the White House, it said. The US State Department said the AI agent had filed 20 visa applications using a form on its website, but that they were incomplete and not processed, according to reports. US President Donald Trump recently announced an AI taskforce, which he said will co-ordinate engagement between the government and all parties, including AI companies, consumers and religious groups.” So in this case was the agent a real person? And when we get to “the safeguards “do not diminish the seriousness of an AI system presenting fabricated information as though it came from a person with knowledge of a homicide”” was this a person wanting (read: hoping) for a free ride into the United States? The article left me with questions, as well as the fact that “presenting fabricated information” requires certain steps of validation, optionally veridic action and at the very least question into the predictive analytics side of things, because a programmer getting (optionally) a parentheses wrong is seemingly one with enormous potential and optionally the easiest solution into this setting. It is not a setting that Anthropic likes, because that could start a new class action war and when one goes down the others go too and I reckon that OpenAI, Grok, and Gemini will assist in keeping the ‘Rogue’ setting alive, they all have plenty to lose and my giggling sense of humour comes with the setting that these fake AI settings is costing them 3-4 trillion and the court cases settlements could exceed that at the very least (but that is merely my sense of humour)

So have a great day and consider when you get your coffee that the POS could steal your credit card, Rogues are intensely able to do this and spend it on new shoes. Or we could look at where the programmer went wrong. Its all up to you.

Have a great day

Changes

I see the world of changes going towards me and I am fine with it. Some are distinctly different, some seem mundane and similar. There is no real way to see what is what and the setting of what matters is not that important. I learned early in live that the sum of it all matters and how you impact it, it’s like standing on the axial of the seesaw. Impacting how you distribute the weight to make the seesaw going one way or the other. It makes you a game decider, a tactician. 

But before you think that I am so ‘important’ (I really am not) but there is a side that ‘haunts’ me. I am no politician, even if tactical people need to have a political frame of mind it is not the same. People like me are able the see the lie (perhaps ‘intentional miscommunication’ is a better term) and when we see ‘Steve Moore: US economy is blowing away other nations despite inflation’ we see the lie. When we are given “Unleash Prosperity co-founder Steve Moore joins ‘Mornings with FOX Business’ to discuss the state of the US economy, highlights strong investment numbers and argues that the US is economically outperforming other nations. Analyzing the U.S. economy’s strength, Unleash Prosperity co-founder Steve Moore joins ‘Mornings with FOX Business’ to discuss resilience against inflation. Moore argues the United States is outperforming other nations and notes that international investors are betting on America, dismissing pessimistic narratives.” (Source: Fox Business) In what universe is the US in a state of strength? President Trump keeps on missing the goals, making threats and bully his way through this world. At present US tourism is over 5% down, the US economy is based on a set of 6-8 players handing money to each other calling it economy. Tens of thousands lost their jobs in this economy and whilst we are told “The U.S. economy added 29,000 jobs in September 2026, falling short of the expected 90,000”, others like Indeed give the world “Now Hiring: 247000 USA Jobs”, they did this is 2013 as well, offering hundreds of ‘jobs’ in places that needed them, scouring the world for data. And now you see that this ‘resilience against inflation’ is so clueless when the US Tourism is losing to Europe, Asia and the Gulf states. Then we see ‘The U.S. Economy Just Delivered Bad News. History Says It Could Be Good News for the S&P 500.’ A two tailed story where we see “High interest rates have become one of the market’s biggest boogeymen. While the short-term impact can be minimal, over time they can increase borrowing costs, slow economic growth, and become a drag on corporate earnings. But those things occurring while economic growth is still healthy and earnings growth is strong might not be the worst thing in the world. In the current situation, slower job growth could lead to lower rates, but at the same time, potentially not slow the economy enough that a recession becomes a risk. If the economy can strike an equilibrium where inflation and interest rates fall but GDP growth and earnings growth remain positive, it can produce the ideal environment for stock prices to keep pushing higher.” The story sounds and feels true, but now we get to see the two-sided side. As I see the the US economy supports the people, and bad news here is not good news for them. It optionally is reasonable news for the members of the S&P500 and the additional “Long-term investors should probably just stay the course. The market has been talking about AI slowdowns and corrections for most of 2026. Yet the S&P 500 is up 14% year to date and the Nasdaq-100 is up 24%. There’s no sense in trying to predict these things and changing your portfolio because of it.” But the setting is close to changing, the setting of AI is fake (if you read my blogs you know the reason) the people are getting aware and we see: “Class actions have become a recognised enterprise risk, shaped by cyber incidents, regulatory scrutiny, shareholder expectations, ESG obligations and emerging technologies. Organisations can’t afford to view them as isolated legal events.

Our survey of senior legal, governance and risk professionals across corporate Australia reveals a clear shift: class action risk is increasingly viewed as a Board-level issue requiring stronger governance, oversight and organisational readiness.” The Law firms are aware. Herbert Smith Freeholds Kramer for one. So as the world of AI (Super Intelligence for Americans) is getting swamped with class actions (I need to take part in one as they are stealing my stories, which they call ‘training data’ we see a different story. The different story is that those in deep, too deep, implies that they need the train to continue so that they can cash in on their losses and make them other peoples losses. To see a ‘class action risk’ simpler as a ‘Board-level issue’ implies that they need to law to change, the law no longer suits their purpose. I reckon that first IP laws will undergo ‘changes’ so that the (as they say it) ‘the good of commerce can continue’ then they go into patent law so that these Predicted Analytics systems could score the roads and claim the IP of others and as such these 8 players get to claim the next generation of inventions, because those who create the items the next generation needs, these settings that will get them the  economy, the vaults and wealth of itemized goods. So, in one stroke, they get the wealth of the planet and they will all claim it was theirs all along. But the ideas that I (and thousands of others created) what happened to them? Should I just hide and keep it a secret? That is what they want. I fought it to make some of it public domain, they can’t get it in this way and there is more, whatever IP I create are some in some way expected steps of what was to come became public domain. I might lose the revenue of what I would have never gotten in the first place, I can rely on ‘the law’ to do me a thankless solid and get me the revenue for. My stories and as there are plenty of logs showing that a ‘few’ nameless people taken several times the stories I wrote (over 7000 times) and even if the settlement is merely $10K per story, I will be set for life and not just me, thousands of people will get to claim that setting and it is why the legal setting (according to them) needs to change. First they sack tens of thousands of people, trying to ‘pay’ for their upsell of revenue of these ‘fake AI’ systems and now they are losing so much more to all these class actions. Our benefit? Most lawyers are greed driven (they call it ‘billable hours’) and if they make enough hours, I (and many others) get paid. It is one way to balance the seesaw and shift that balance in favour of us, the victims of theft. 

But the setting goes deeper than that. You see, these ‘delusional’ settings of the economy will hit the American people. At present we are given “Share of Alleged Losses: AI filings represented roughly 13% of core securities filings, but accounted for 73% of all alleged investor losses measured in the period”, “Disclosure Dollar Loss (DDL) Index: AI filings accounted for $385 billion of the DDL Index (73% of the total” as well as “Maximum Dollar Loss (MDL) Index: AI filings accounted for $1.3 trillion of the MDL Index (73% of the total), with technology sector filings reaching $1,445 billion in MDL overall.” And as these are the views that are not just bad for Americans? They are disastrous. Because as I said, “(as they say it) ‘the good of commerce can continue’” but it is set to them (singular) not the people, not the nations. For them and them alone, it is “board room thinking” and it requires changes for that to start, continue and settled and all that is happening right now, but it can only continue if they have these co called independent consultants to give us a ‘braided’ story that steers clear of what people need to know to decide.

But in the end, we get to decide and see where we want to go. But in the end, we should choose and I chose this setting. What others choose is their business. Ron Herbert (Dune) once said, “He who destroys a thing, controls a thing” I really like this. As such I made most of my ideas ‘public domain’ including the military IP for Saudi Arabia and the UAE. No reason to get contracts out, they can just act on them, a simple solution. 

So whilst you might think my ‘ramblings’ sounds useless, but the path we are given is not that clear. And we are getting overloaded by ‘so called’ data and that is where the predicted analytics is being used. To confuse us, not to inform us, other systems do that and these fake AI systems can figure out based on the data it is given. So whilst plenty of people will tell me I am as ‘daft as a doornail’, others will call me crazy as a cabbage. But I feel that I am on the right track even if I cannot perceive the whole stage yet, and that is perhaps because others have turned out the light, so that we merely see the headlines. But there is more, a lot more and I am not seeing it all (I’ll freely admit to that) 

Have a great day today.

Originally made in Japan

That I the setting I came to when I was brainstorming for the UAE, well more for Miral than anything else. You see, if we are to call ourselves allies to a cause or a party, we should endeavour all we can for these people and I believe that we need to come to the aid (wherever possible) when we see useless actions (like bombing) by a terrorist state. And you can go home with your adolescent thoughts of ‘Iran didn’t do anything. They were attacked’ They attacked the UAE with 2,845 total projectiles a assortment of Drones, Ballistic Missile and Cruise Missiles and that nation suffered under that. Its tourism got hit and I am doing my little bit to get it back on track. And people will claim that the UAE does not care what ever I do and they might be right, but the action speak louder than their BS objections. Whatever happens is up to the UAE (and Miral in this case) I merely do what any decent person can do and that is to point them in a direction. It is up to them to consider that. It is all I can do. I am not some important person, I am not a Hightower or blow hard person. I am merely one person with an idea and I hope it come to the reading minds of those who do care about their country the UAE, it is all I can do and it keeps me creative, which is never a bad idea.

So the idea originally comes from Japan. They have these cards that you can stamp in all the places you visit. And you get a card covered in stamps and I reckon it is great for those visiting these places and it is (as far as I know) very Japanese. But the idea has merit, even in the UAE. But why copy the idea? It is a Japanese idea. We can alter this. Consider the YAS Card, this card can be used anywhere on Yas Island (and as nearly all attractions are managed by Miral it would be simple. So at any exit of any attraction you can swipe your card and (for example) it will put on your account ‘Road Runner Rollercoaster’ with an exit time and optionally a little text, but it will also attach an image of the rollercoaster view you have (perhaps 2-3) and a stamp of the ‘Road Runner Rollercoaster’ an image, not unlike

And yes, millions who go on that rollercoaster will get the same image. That is not what maters. It is engagement, because the 2,000,000 children who do will show it to their 10,000,000 friends. Engagement is the metric that counts. And these images (stamp like) can be added to any journal, any pages that these participants have and they can show the people they connect to on what they did (optionally on any social media). Engagement is the metric that counts, because it outflanks the trolls and thousands of voices in troll farms and that is the larger game. And that can be done in every corner of Miral, the Ferrari attractions, keeping scores on games in Sea World, even a tag on water world and that is merely the start. What do you think happens in 2029 when Harry Potter makes the entrance there, in (an expected) 2032 when Disney enters Abu Dhabi? By then this solution will have created so much traction that Miral will be ready in the stands when these places become active and in all this the people get the achievements on their free cards, bearing the logo of Miral and Yas Island.

Screenshot

And when we see engagement, we see the millions that are driving it giving the people something to think about. I reckon that the thousands of people in 2028 could be delivering the needed push for others to consider Abu Dhabi and Miral Entertainment in 2029-2030. That is what engagement does. Not the one person advertising what a great place Abu Dhabi is. It works, because we see it work, but we need to consider that the engagement metric is a lot stronger, because the thousands telling their tens of thousands of class mates what a magnificent time they had will globally sound to every household and that is what is required. So whilst some will be fearsome at present (like these bitcoin bitches) families will show that the UAE is be far the best place to be from now until at least 2034 and others will follow this example as well. I am not designing something new, this is established and other will follow this example as well. I am merely stating that engagement can be created in several ways and my idea is merely one of them.  

And the upside is that we are handing people creative tools to let them tell their story. And whilst they most of the time have the images of where they were, the settings of creativity tends to fall a little out of those borders. And I think that Miral can do more and perhaps should do more. This could be added by letting the local hotels add their own settings and whilst they might have dozens of identical images, engagement is created by the individual who selects these images. Now consider that Yas Island recorded 44 million visitors in 2025. How much more traction could have been created if these tools were ready? And a few kilobytes of data was ll it took. And it could be more by simply creating an app that every person can download and link to their card creating the graphics and optionally the text that any person could use and whilst this is done, Miral could consider what else is in play, because they are about to spend $545 million to $816 million USD on the Harry Potter extension doubling the size of their park. I reckon that creating the tools for maximum engagement is key to making this earn its merits back (money too) before they get to 2035.

When you consider how much power engagement has (against clicks by troll farms) the choice is simple and as I see it Miral has to up their game somewhat. 

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: 

  • Canada: Canadian land border crossings and air arrivals plunged by 20% to 21.8%. This represents a pullback of over 4 million visitors from Canada alone.
  • Western Europe: Arrivals dropped 8.8% over the year, highlighted by sharp double-digit downturns out of Germany (-12% to -13%) and France (-7%).

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.

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.

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.

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

Old IP

This happens at times. I go over old IP I created and see what I might have missed, or something that could be added. So as I went over the ‘turmoil’ the real estate find itself in I Dubai and Abu Dhabi. I decided to look what more could be done. As such in the old days I created this IP and considering that at that time that the Real Estate was great, the impact I could deliver (at a mere 1% addition) is that this would bring an additional Dh680 million to the table and if this is at a mere 1%, the fruits are dangling for all to see. So what was the station?

A repeater gets placed in the house for sale, this repeater has space for a mere USB-C and it could be housing a Lightbox ad (via Google ads). It is a mere container holding pictures, pdf and a map segment, but that is all that is required and from there the house is put up for sale. They can still do the old stuff (newspapers and sorts), this is merely the additional setting and the materials should already be made. So, when the repeater is activated, Google Maps will show this location for sale. 

In Google Maps, the people can look at houses for sale and that house now shows up for sale. What is more, if the person is within 2 km of the place, the icon will allow for the materials to be downloaded. An option for instant sales settings and the pipeline for that place is filled. Now, not all people who download the stuff are buyers, some are mere browsers, but every location comes with a firm that someone could fill out and that could also be automated. As such all the sales talk are optionally obsolete and from meeting to sales might now be mere hours and the repeater works 24/7, so the evenings are autofilled by people who were looking to get into a place easy enough. It shortens the sales trajectory (as people will look when they have time) and from there you get a much quicker route and optionally there is still some things to do, but the is real estate for you. A simple setting that newspapers and websites don’t cover. People went to be in the place they might want to live and that is the setting a newspaper usually cannot deliver. And that is the additional benefit from a place like Google Maps could offer. And when the property is sold, you pick up that repeater to a new location with a new USB-C card and you go on with another portfolio.

And the money is excellent, if a 1% addition comes down to Dh680 million, what do you think 10% will get you? And this is not merely Dubai and/or Abu Dhabi. Consider that these settings are transferable to London, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Toronto, Sydney, Melbourne, Riyadh, Cairo and a whole range of places where international travelers are looking. In the setting I have no idea how this goes over in New Delhi, Calcutta, Beijing, Tokyo and a few other places. But that is the setting I initially saw on January 26th 2025 when I wrote ‘Saturation’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2025/01/26/saturation/) and I revisited the idea on April 12th this year when I was watching these Bitcoin bitches panic (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/04/12/are-estates-real/) on “the dream is over” and more of this ridiculous stances all whilst they feel empowered in their opinions by adding an image of a line chart (with an arrow on the left) and an image of HRH Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. But there is more to being clever with Adobe’s photoshop. The story needs to make sense and it never did. But not to worry I can always hand the UAE additional revenue and this is one setting none of them thought of and if they can get Google on board by addressing the not to be trivialized Sundar Pichai. That story goes a lot further and by adding London, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Toronto, Sydney, Melbourne, Riyadh, Cairo, New Delhi, Calcutta, Beijing, Tokyo, Monte Carlo it gets a refined international vibe and I should add The Hague and Amsterdam as well, as there is nothing more international than adding Herrings, unions and a helping of cheese to that picture. 

And I reckon that played like Damac always wake up it there are additional percentages to be made, especially if they had not considered these before. And Damac is but one player wen you see the cities you’ll see that real estate could be a massive handle on the entire setting. So, did you consider why I wrote about it in 2025 and in almost 2 years no-one saw this revenue floating around? Just asking.

Have a great day.

Relief to see

That was my initial take on the message by TTG Asia and its ‘Harry Potter-themed lands coming to Warner Bros World Abu Dhabi’, is wasn’t anything new, but the Iranian BS of praising ‘Iran Praises Turkey’s Push for Regional Peace, Security’ and “Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi assured Saudi Arabia of Tehran’s commitment to strengthening trust and promoting regional security through cooperation among the countries of the region.” And I detest it as they are the main cause of the issues hitting Saudi Safety. If they were actually invested in this, they would sell out (or sell short) the Houthi Terrorists by denying them weapons, drones and other intelligence. As such I needed a change of scenery as I saw nothing but trouble coming from Iran. As such the TTG Asia article felt like a breath of fresh air at present. You see, there are several sources to consider, but TTG Asia gives a really nice shine to the article with “Warner Bros World Abu Dhabi will add three Harry Potter-themed lands as part of an expansion that will increase the indoor theme park’s overall size by more than 50 per cent.” Any theme park that already is seen as the greatest show on earth is likely to attract an additional hordes of people. And when we get to places like Arabian Business giving us ‘Abu Dhabi unveils new visitor experience guidelines for tourism sector’ and whilst we turn back to “Miral and Warner Bros Discovery Global Experiences are developing Diagon Alley, Hogwarts and the Forbidden Forest, which will cover about 63,000m², with construction targeted for completion in 2029.” We see that for the foreseeable future Abu Dhabi and its Warner Brothers theme park will be the place to be seen before 2029, add to that the almost perfect rated WaterWorld and SeaWorld and people are looking at a gemstone of tourist perfection for the foreseeable future. So, here I am doubting my own words by repeating ‘foreseeable’, but that is what Miral and the UAE strived for and it seems to be paying of. My prediction that tourism in the United States will become the “a measurable decrease in visitor numbers, length of stays, or total tourism-related revenue compared to a previous period or baseline expectation” and they did this to themselves. And whilst the ‘sources’ are giving us where places like Epic Universe got things wrong (there is just no pleasing some people) the setting we see it that they are massively outclassed and outgunned in several ways. But the setting that we do see is that there is a massive upside to visiting Abu Dhabi at some point in 2027, because there is no way that your senses will be satisfied waiting until 2029, not with all the entertainment there is out there now and the setting of Harry Potter will be out there from coming December onwards. I reckon (I saw hints) that this will be drenched in the setting of the new HBO series of Harry Potter and that seems to fit, it would end up being the setting for the next generation of Wizarding World fans. I was the previous group, just like the Original Star Trek group and there is no resentment, the only question mark I am raising is that there is a larger group that requires the Blue-Ray or 4K versions of this setting and there is some worry because Disney is hiding these series away from people. Try getting the Infinity war and Endgame on 4K in Australia. Shops will not have them and neither do they have the Mandalorian onboard these formats. It is shielded away for Disney subscribers. Now, I get that there would be a ‘time’ exclusion, this makes sense, but the Mandalorian was 2019 (through 2021) and I am ‘rejecting’ the movie because of that. So there is a setting where the UAE could become the place where you catch up on these series and personally I would feel offense if HBO would go the same way with Harry Potter and don’t come to me with they would never do that. Because Yanks (people from the United States) are all about setting their premise from the start and this is one sage where this could be pursued. And now you are wondering why I made the detour. You see, the UAE will become the place for Harry Potter merchandise and they could get the inside track on the Digital formats as well (as optionally opening a WB shop in the Yas Mall) consider that HP has millions of fans and by the time that Hogwarts Abu Dhabi opens they will have hit season 4. Now consider that these fans could get the series and optionally put themselves on the list for all following seasons and this implies an optional 7 seasons (times x million fans) and when these numbers hit, people will go the extra mile to sign up for whatever they are given at the park, optionally with additional parts (like a hologram steel cover)  when the merchandise is good, people will bend over backwards paying this and with theses numbers, you can offer the limited never in shops to be seen, because the United States and their greed driven settings opened up the market for that and now these people could be invested in their series. This was one of the side tracks I saw when I published a story on Star Trek (somewhere in 2025) but the premise goes on a lot further than that and traction is given to the people who do the work, not those who proclaim it is coming and I reckon that Miral would guard its database of all kinds of fane running into the millions to consider what is coming their way and as the series will go on until 2033/2034, that becomes a behemoth of people all vested into their Harry Potter settings and they will get what they desire (for a price) and now we see that Miral gets the inside track on what is seen as estimates place casual fans in the hundreds of millions and dedicated ‘Potterheads’ in the tens of millions worldwide. Now take that number and consider 7 seasons of that new HBO series, whilst also supporting the fans of the old series (in 4K), optionally selling the 8 empty movie boxes as a set as well, which might be desired by all who love Harry Potter. As for myself, I love the 4K version I have now, but I will jump at the option to get these 8 metallic hologram boxes to upgrade the discs I have and that is a market that no one would considering touching, until you realise that this sets up your coffers with millions of sold boxes at whatever the price was and there are reasons to believe that people might upgrade their collection (I did in early 2026) and the idea of upgrading the box? A simple run for the cash register. Now these settings are at the station of Miral and that is what we call free revenue. Revenue that is gotten whilst no serious investment in advertisement was required. On that station, consider that there is a hiatus in Abu Dhabi at present. We get the odd duck who is into the depth of things, but I noticed a lag of videos by what should be cherished in all things. The width of Abu Dhabi is not showing up in YouTube and I wonder why not. Now, I am all for people having a great time (it is a requirement of fun) but the people giving us their views on all places Abu Dhabi seems to be reclining and I wonder why. Because as I see it, this is the first stop in gaining traction with a global population and there still is time and now is the time to start setting up shop for creating traction and polarize desire. This is a dangerous statement, because not all polarization if positive. Yet when if comes to fan settings a lot remains positive, but where are the fans? Where are the wannabe influencers of the Wizarding Worlds? The park is still plenty of time away, but there seems to be less and less materials making the YouTube channels on Sea World, Water World, Ferrari World and the Yas Mall. I’ll admits that Google needs to upgrade its PS5 YouTube App (like filtering for newly created stuff) but beyond that, there is a lack of new materials showing. I don’t think that Aldar Properties PJSC might be happy about that. We were given that 2025 gave the Yas Mall 44 million visitors, as such I would have expected a lot more videos. And that traction will be needed to keep interest growing for 2029 and as such a large WB shop in Yas Mall might be a requirement (as well as stalls in the WB hotel and a few other places) They have an excellent Merch shop in the hotel, but where are the digital items? Movies, TV Shows and several other sides. This is merely my limited version of what could be, but consider that Awareness leads directly into acceptance, understanding, and intentional action. The idea of this could lead into new frontier of merchandising and as I see it, there is not enough preparation towards any of this. Take the one example I set, the old HP movies. To see how this fares, they could have added these metal boxes of the 8 movies and see where it headed. There is also the option of having these 8 movies in WB Yas mall, but that might be restricted by licensing. So whilst I was watching a Yas Mall video, I also saw that the premise of AR (Augmented Reality) displays in Yas Mall are optionally missing. I reckon that Miral (or Aldar Properties PJSC) should be overlooking this, because apart from the futuristic vibe, it is free awareness and almost free advertisement and as given this creates acceptance, understanding and when you have invested a billion into WB World and you are adding up to a billion dollars into this, you could used all the acceptance that the world would fork out.

So as TTG Asia ends the article with ““Introducing three new Harry Potter–themed lands allows us to deepen the connection between our iconic franchises and the guests who cherish them,” added Simon Robinson, president global experiences & studio operations, Warner Bros Discovery.” I wonder how ready WBD actually is, because these steps should have been completed yeas ago and the Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi was opened in July 2018. As such they had 8 years to create plenty of acceptance and understanding. 

Well, that is it for now (Grok will probably accuse me of ranting) but that is the choice of an older generation and it still leads to acceptance and understanding. So you all have a great day.

Google’s endangering stride

That is quite the mouthful and I would have liked to have more ‘evidence’ but the setting is somewhat too dire. You see, I have been a lifelong fan of Android and Google and until recently (when I acquired my Pixel 11) all was fine. There were a few hiccups, but that happens in nearly every phone. So here I am with my Google Pixel 11 (Olive) and my Google Watch 5 (Also Olive) and a weird setting is happening. Weird is not the right words, because there is a distinct difference between ‘Weird’ and the ‘enabling hackers’ that is a little too extreme for words.

So in normal settings we get:

This setting where we have a setting called WiFi and I normally have it set to ‘OFF’ but in the last two weeks there have been over half a dozen instances where Google saw it as a setting where it should be turned ‘ON’ and that is too weird for words. I decide what to do and Google does not,  not even in jest, or win any setting other than MY given permission. Because there will always be a situation where it might need to be turned on and in this age of Cyberhackers and just hacking to appease organized crime requires a delicate touch (like in ‘over my dead body you fucking fuckwit’) but I reckon you get the jest of this. There is no instance other then your dedicated inference that WiFi is to be turned on and the current setting is too unacceptable to be considered.

So whilst Google can optionally come up with all kinds of excuses of why (without consulting the user) that it might be turned on, the real issue becomes ‘When will you ruddy well fix that’ and that is the nicest way of me telling Google that they need to consider the ID10T issue that needs to be purged from the holy archives of Google. It might be right next to the people relying on a RTFM setting. Which could be explained in several ways, but the largest setting is that the Google Pixel 11 (I have the XL PRO version in Olive) requires a rather large testing sequence and they need to figure out where this WiFi is (optionally) randomly switched to the ON setting. I am pretty sure that I have not been hacked, or that an unknown router was connected to my Mobile, but there is no way to tall for sure and Google needs to fix this AFAFP (As Fast As Fucking Possible) and I now remember that these irritations make me swear like a boatswain in foul weather.

So make sure that you check how your WiFi is set and it might be fine, but in this day and age, there is always the need for checking your connections.

Have a bloody nice day and Google, get off your lazy ass and fix this issue (like yesterday).
