Perchance to dream 

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

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

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

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

Have a great day this day

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.

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).

Pet dog with DML 

Yup, that is what I saw on LinkedIn this morning and behest and behold, when I scrolled back to that it had vanished (stupid Microsoft), but the thought had invaded my mind and I have no idea who, what or how it was given to me, or even who was behind that dog, but it gave me a few ideas. You see, what I saw was mention that it had the ability to charge smart devices (which is not the worst idea) but my mind went wandering from that. So, whilst we keep the smart charging of devices and we get the optional mobile charge surface on that fido, there is a setting that could be beneficial to the elderly. Like a built in alert setting for emergency responders. And whilst we do not want to steer clear of the other devices, the idea to have a secondary alert system online, might be really helpful for these people. Then there is the charging (what I read) and optionally could be used to keep track of household smart devices. Then there is the alert setting for kitchen fires as the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) report 167,800 residential building cooking fires and that might be with a lot less damage as this Fido gets to sound alerts when it picks up the smoke in the house. Optionally there are smoke detectors, but a smart switch that cuts out gas is not the worst idea and I have no idea on how bad that data was in 2023, the stage that over 150K instances were at least reduced and optionally avoided could spell a few instances in this. Then there is the ability of gas detection, which might avoid a few issues and from there we get to electrical settings and there are a few benefits to see as well. So, whilst I have no idea on how far this Fido is actually implemented, the benefits are very real. I reckon that a small rotating beacon with Purple for biohazards (like gas leak), Red for fires and Blue for police and blue/red for ambulance and that is merely the indicator light, so that any first responder has an indication on what is happening and there is a midden benefit, there could be a roof indicator that pics up what Fido detected and that could alert the neighbours. All settings that in any place where there is the dangers of isolation could alert the neighborhood of any issues around them. 

I would say simplicity itself, but whomever was taken with that design could have already have thought of that. But the story was take away by (what I see as a stupid greed driven acts by Microsoft) As such I see no reason to not write about these thoughts and ideas I have and perhaps someone merely saw that digital fido as an entertainment tool. All whilst there is a shortage of assist dogs and I do not want to take them out of the equation, but the shortage on a global setting goes into the millions and it take up to two years to train them. As such this digital Fido has real merit and could be released on a much larger setting, so whilst we see the option to increase functionality with a mere patch, all whilst the dog cannot duo all the things Fido does, but that is not against the dog, it has abilities that Fido can never match, but there is a real shortage and as such these makers could seek to fill the hole as much as they could and that is before we see what Fido could do after a disaster. It might be able to seek disaster areas from victims and that is another field where they could be a real help and they could signal the larger need for its owners to emergency services. These are all mere thoughts I am having on the setting and perhaps the makers already had them and a few more, but as the (suspected) advertisement is gone, so are the options to see what was, what could become and what merely is suspected speculation and I am happy to blame Microsoft for this as it owns LinkedIn, as such goes the blaming finger. 

And as I see the actual DML field, not AI (or SI) but actual Machine Language and Deeper Learning (DML, Deeper Machine Language for short) there are plenty of settings set on data we do have to make Fido a more prominent real thing in any family and you only need to find one person (optionally elderly) who has forgotten about the stove once, to see what this could be a real money saver. And this is merely one thing, so as I planted these thoughts in whomever makes these robotic dogs, there is a larger stage to consider and perhaps they already did and if they have consider this article a place to cross your T’s and dot your I’s, nothing more than that. You all have a great day today.

TradeDelicious

Yes, a difficult word and not one I understand all the time, that blissful feeling that oozes over me comes with a shortage and it is shared by all with a weak understanding of economy (not something that happens to people like Mark Carney), but I (the one and only) an at times blissfully ignorant of the economic condition. As such, at times, I fear that ‘weakness’, but I do not fear being weak on this, as such I try to keep awake (as like, not sleeping) on the economic condition. And I was ‘made’ aware of an article in TradingView by the headline ‘Michael Burry Warns Microsoft, Amazon and Oracle Could Face AI Write-Off Shock’ where we see “Burry said net capital investment by S&P 500 companies reached 2.07% of GDP at June 30, a level he described as the highest in nearly four decades outside the period following the 2000 Nasdaq peak. He estimated that Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOG) (GOOGL), Meta (META) and Oracle (ORCL) have about $3 trillion in commitments and other exposures linked to AI infrastructure, including leases, construction projects and purchase obligations.” So, whilst we also see that these are the firms that ‘eloquently’ dismiss staff members all over the globe, the idea that 5 firms have over 3000 billion invested on fake AI settings (my personal view) is a little too shaky to consider and that needs to be taken into consideration. You see, I don’t care about Microsoft, they did this to their self, but I am concerned about Google and Oracle. They are the massive backbone of larger IT. And they are firms where I would have liked to have been part of and part of me still are. I deliver support and customer care and as such I believe that these two firms are part of what most of us really like. But I also see that if support and customer care diminish in these two parts of IT, customer care will really falter on a near global foundation and as such places like TradingView are making me aware of hardship coming our way and don’t take the words of Satya Nadella as some kind of gospel. A little less than 15 hours ago he basically proclaimed “Nadella thinks the AI industry is too self-obsessed to explain why anyone else should care. “I think we are way too self-obsessed as an industry about, look at us, how glorious we are,” he tells me. His prescription is to let the people using AI speak to its benefits and demonstrate that it creates economic opportunity for workers and the communities hosting data centers. More pronouncements from tech CEOs won’t do it: “Any amount that I say or any one of us say is not good enough anymore, I feel.””, I say that anyone claiming that a fake setting is glorious, I have said so again and again. And the ‘doubt’ (brought like a second hand car salesman in a championship voice) will not cut it and the people are figuring this out, right now, the world is figuring out that that AI is a sliding scale whilst more and more are realizing that this is over a decade away, so that issue with Trust is a hidden trap. He, in the near past stated that he “envisions a future where enterprises manage millions of AI agents working alongside human staff”, really? Microsoft cut more than 15,000 jobs across two major rounds in 2025 to reallocate resources toward massive artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure investments and 4800 jobs in 2026. That is massive and the claim that “An autonomous “always-on” digital teammate running on cloud servers that can work 24/7 without waiting for a prompt. Users assign it a name, role, and goal to track project decisions, watch channels, remind colleagues, and manage multi-step workflows” I reckon he got that ‘Always on’ from Don Mattrick and you know what happened there. It basically costed him the entire gaming branch Microsoft ones had and now that is basically gone. And then for the longest time he ‘proclaimed’ that “Microsoft and industry research project that more than 1.3 billion AI agents will be in operation across global business systems by 2028” and whilst we can see that 1.3 million (a 0.1% part is coming true, the idea that the 99.9% comes within the next 14 months is laughable to say the least. It is predictive speculation (which is nothing like predictive analytics) and he better adjust his point of view and I saw that even before he made that claim. I speculatively am considering that he has been sniffing the Microsoft glue too much. So as we all take notice of this, we also see that people Like Oracle have been footing the hardware and software bill and the makes sense, because no matter how I see things, even in predictive analytics, whomever holds the hardware and software will become undisputed rules of that field and that is where I see Oracle going, as such “Oracle has cut approximately 21,000 jobs globally (about 13% of its workforce) over the past year as part of a major corporate restructuring to fund massive investments in artificial intelligence (AI) and data center infrastructure” (source: BBC) makes little sense. In all earnest, if people are to embrace the data centre vibe, Oracle needs more, not less people. Because all these dim witted  IT population out there needs to come massively aware of the shortcomings of data centres and with that the people who are learning that trinary beats binary in that field will take massive undertaking and even as Oracle is one of two players to be aware of that (Snowflake will be the other one) we can see that the world will undergo changes and massive ones. As such I felt that my ‘expertise’ in training, tech support and customer care would be my asset when all this hit and that current population of ‘yay’ sayers will undo itself in a haze of confusion when the world gets the setting that they had been betting on the wrong horses all along. It basically would set me up for a better job in the currently near future in Canada, the UAE, EU or other commonwealth places. Because the truth is that when people are figuring this out, the people they fired at Oracle will be worth their weight in gold and I feel that I would be on the ‘good’ stack of people discarded a little too soon and the was making me happy. 

So to see the View of TradingView where we also see “Burry expects investment to keep rising and said write-downs could emerge around 2028 or 2029 if AI capacity exceeds demand. He compared the current spending cycle with the late-1990s telecom buildout, when heavy investment was followed by excess capacity, weaker returns and substantial depreciation. He also questioned Oracle’s treatment of customer prepayments and cited rising financing concerns surrounding its large data-center projects.” But consider that he states that “when heavy investment was followed by excess capacity, weaker returns and substantial depreciation” comes with shortage of staff and the ‘figment’ setting of 1.3 billion AI agents. The pure waters will require tens of thousands of support staff, because when that part goes, the global customer care and customer support stations will be empty of people and anyone not ready there will be requiring that group of people to be fought over and quite hard. And in all this, no one is looking at the requirement of IBM at that setting and it will acquire as many ex-Oracle staff as they can for the mere need of support for its IBM Bob (basically the IBM Watson AI branch) coding agents and that shortage needs to be filled up fast, because as we are given “IBM Bob Powers Faster Innovation, Higher Productivity & Modern App Development. IBM Bob Accelerates Development by Automating Complex, Time‑Consuming Works. Earlier Risk Detection. 100K+ visits in past month” Yes, there is a market for those who are putting in the time and the hours and that is where (at present) IBM will surpass all others and whilst I hate to see that Oracle is to be surpassed, they did this to themselves. But as I see it, the market is ruled by those who steered firm and clear past the ‘AI BS’ that the world is drowning in and IBM is one of the few who seemingly did this. So whilst Oracle, Amazon and Google will require strong readjustments before 2027 cones to an end, they will feel the heartache (preceding their own upcoming coronary) and I felt that as I took all settings of training, customer care and technical support in strides, feel that I am in a really kosher place. Whether this is in Mississauga, Abu Dhabi, Sydney or Stockholm. I felt that I would end OK is a pretty cool feeling and as I see it, Oracle and IBM are pretty good bosses to end up with. So I saw that other who saw this too, because they were actively hiring the fired Oracle staff members and that is fine with me. There is a whole world that will scream “Who can we hire?” And I am merely listening to the sound web for the right signals. And that is more than all he wrote. And the ‘end’ quote on “The remarks center on future capital intensity, with the impact depending on how quickly AI demand develops relative to new capacity.” Sounds right, but it is not. Well, perhaps for Michael Burry it either is or might be, but the larger setting is that whoever have the stuff to guide whatever the larger population of IT sweeps need, the stronger that firm will be and I reckon that Snowflake is in a decent place and IBM soon will be and after that I hope that Oracle reattaches the needs it has, but the others? They will become canon fodder and consider that someone (not saying who ;-)) claimed that someone claimed that 1.3billion AI agents are doing the work in 2028 and then fires over 20,000 people and leave someone to rehires and retrains them was a little of his game. But when you rely on your own marketing to tell you the story, that is where you are heading. But that is merely my own (and optionally wrong setting). So whilst I am ‘considered’ the false prophet and I have been stating the same thing for over 5 years, all whilst the ‘adjusting impressionable’ influencers adjusted their own story each and every wave and I am still in the setting that this AI (or super intelligence) is still over a decade away, all whilst my setting of advocated predictive analytics is now shown to be a correct view is now accepted by the IT community at large is the stage you should be considering and Michael Burry is seeing a different part, but this adjustment of over 3 trillion is coming and whoever is caught in that wake will face serious considerations and whilst I am still dreaming of a nice apartment in Mississauga or Toronto is seeing where the power will soon reside, is showing a massive setting that might come with hard work, but I reckon that these places will prefer a person who saw this in the first place instead of a YAY sayer who is adjusting their view for the umpteenth time is feeling like the proper boss to work for. 

So as I see it, my time of cakes, putting and a nice warm living room is about to see the light of near luxury. And it merely took my smarts, which is what any Uni graduate will like from the get go. Have a great day all.

Rebranding the XXX farm

That is the image I see. It is an old story (I believe it came from the Donald Duck comics) and it was the 70s when I saw that particular story. Cattle was being ‘mismanaged’ and the three ducklings (aka Huey, Dewey, and Louie) found out what was happening. The diamond ranch, the W ranch and two more were missing cattle and it was the XXX ranch that had acquired them. The diamond was hidden in the 2 XX’s and the W was part of the XXX brand. It was a simple rebranding. Clever (I was merely 8-10 years old) but that was the simplicity of my weekly Donald Duck. So when I saw the News dot com dot AU and Defense One giving us ‘‘Super Intelligence’: the president’s new term for AI, explained’, his actions make perfect sense. You see AI doesn’t exist and whilst the courts are figuring out just how much it doesn’t exist yet. You see, what they all call AI is merely an advanced form of predictive analytics, with the margin of LLM, Machine Language and Deeper learning (I call that DML, Deeper Machine Learning) but it can only react to data it has and it is all done binary. My personal feeling is that real (or true) AI requires trinary data. But that is not what matters now. The setting is that more and more court cases will come and that presents a difficult case for these ‘AI vendors’ there is already the setting of copyright ‘theft’ (as I personally see it) and I have been a victim of that, thousands of my articles were (I assume) used for training. And whilst we see this, we now see that rebranding is in order and the President now calls it ‘Super Intelligence’ and that avoids the court cases where they take out the writings of Alan Turing and use that against these (now called) ‘Super Intelligence’. As such it is a clever ploy, but the ‘contracts’ out there will all require ‘reissuing’ if that is al all possible, if not the current court cases will commence, but new court cases are unlikely be successful because all the new court cases cannot use Alan Turing against ‘Super Intelligence’ I can still hold my ground and I will be proven correct over the whole range, but these ‘Super Intelligence’ can now hide behind a ‘miscommunication’ setting like they always do. I think it is hilarious that all these people hiding behind millions are so bad in communicating. Is that where their skills lie?

(Just asking), but there is a larger setting, you see this ‘Golden age of Super Intelligence’ will need rebranding and that is where the shoe will not fit. These investors have been suckered into the trough of Artificial Intelligence and I am speculating that these people will try to get out during or after the rebranding and cut their losses. Because they fear what they have since decently recent feared all along. They could lose what they once had and that is the next step in this ploy.  So when we get to “President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced a rebranding of the term “artificial intelligence,” saying during the United Nations General Assembly that from now on, it will be called “super intelligence.” “From this point forward, all of United States’ documents, and hopefully the world’s, will be changed to use the much more accurate term, ‘super,’ as opposed to ‘artificial’,” he said.” And it is the setting “hopefully the world’s” is where these second hand car salesman (aka AI vendors) see the setting that they are ‘merely’ adhering to what the President of the united States requested and required and it gets them off the hook (which is how I see this). 

So when we get to “Though the rebrand may have been a surprise to many, superintelligence is already an established term in AI literature. It was popularized in philosopher Nick Bostrom’s 2014 bestseller Superintelligence, which defines the term as “any intellect that greatly exceeds the cognitive performance of humans in virtually all domains of interest.” Artificial superintelligence, or ASI, thus refers to future AI systems that could be much smarter than humans, and contrasts with the weaker forms of AI that exist today.” And as far as I can tell, they all are silent on Alan Turing, that ship has sailed and now the age of damage control starts. They overreached and they fell short and now this so called golden age needs to be contained. These second hand car salesman all need to reset their views and they will all hide behind the miscommunication of new technology, but now it is all better, it will all be great and it will not. There is over two point five trillion dollars invested in all this and how do you think that will fare?

And I personally think the quote “But others say the possible renaming contributes to an ongoing conversation about AI’s growing abilities.” Relies not just on ‘contribution’ but to a larger extent to the stopping and avoiding of legal matters now in full swing. In addition ““‘Super’ does align well with the fact that AI is exceeding human capabilities in a growing range of tasks and by increasing margins, which can have distinct national security implications beyond simply matching human performance,” said Caleb Withers, a research associate for the Technology and Security Program at the Center for a New American Security.” Yet the entire ‘leap of faith’ the act in absence of data is also painted over. A strength that people have it seems that the article does not bare this out and the setting where we see this all important person named Caleb Winters is used to obfuscate what exactly? So whilst the article ends with “Trump reportedly worries that an AI slowdown could cause a market crash, and sees “super intelligence” as a critical sector for America to stay ahead of China. “Whoever wins AI, you have to remember this, and now I say, whoever wins SI, whoever wins super intelligence, wins. That’s the group that wins.”” And it is mere deceit. AI will take over a decade and that has been clear for some time, rebranding this does not alter the fact. And (as I personally see it) setting the “a critical sector for America to stay ahead of China” is even more laughable. Because the west is playing hockey with a Trump card (grok vs OpenAI vs Google Gemini vs whatever Microsoft has vs whatever Amazon has) and that goes up against whatever China has and so far I am not impressed with the results. I have no idea where China stands because I categorize all AI as fake AI, no matter where it is from and I gave my reasons in several articles. So far I have been proven correct nearly every time (I prefer nearly as I am unlikely to be  aware of everything) but the setting of this rebranding bothers me. In one setting that it was only possible if all the involved parties were aware of the dangerously thin ice they were on and as we get a song and dance of musical chairs where they all point at each other and state “We are abiding to the needs of our president” and more of that, all whilst they comprehended that this state was nearing its end. The Motley Fool gave us 4 hours ago ‘Sam Altman’s OpenAI Is in Talks for a New Funding Round Valuing It at $1.2 Trillion Instead of an IPO. Here’s Why He Called Going Public Now “Ill-Advised.”’ Where we see “In a recent interview with Fortune magazine, Altman said that — in light of safety concerns regarding OpenAI and other similar artificial intelligence platforms — “right now would be an ill-advised moment to go public.”

The safety concerns in question are the prospect that AI systems could make unchecked decisions on their own that result in measurable and meaningful harm to humanity, up to and including taking actions that cause human extinction.” I personally feel that this is a false statement and it has been a long time in the making and they fear (all these vendors) that the comedy caper ride is ending and as we n ow see the age of rebranding, there is more to come, but that takes time and the delay of over a decade will not be met and as I see it the involved parties are all aware of that. 

So, when you see these proclaimers of AI in the background, see that they are merely influencers trying to appease the hordes of people like flim flam artists and connected to all this are the vendors. The one advantage this gives us are these flim flam artists is the need to ‘adjust’ their story and I reckon that they aren’t all seeing eye to eye on any of this, because once burned twice shy. (An adjusted expression) and that is where we are at present and it is not over yet, not by a long shot and there is a third setting. Where exactly is China in all this, because that matters too. Because the actions of China in all this will reverberate all over the EU and the Gulf States and I wonder if the players in this game considered that. But as I see it, hatred of China won’t matter because the people have their vested interests and no interest in hatred that is where President Trump as well as the United States are flawed. So whilst we were given “whoever wins SI, whoever wins super intelligence, wins. That’s the group that wins” they seemingly forgot that SI is a new term, rebranding has a downside, it requires time and it seems that these wielders forgot about that. They need to rebrand their fake AI and at present the people are confused, it is all happening too fast and it is happening all whilst the people are realizing that their AI is not any kind of Super Intelligence. The people are realizing that they invested in an Edsel and you know what happened then, do you?

That is merely my view on this and I reckon that I am seeing it correctly, if not you can brand me the towns idiot. Because that is true too, I could be wrong. Only the king of idiots thinks that his truth is the only one that exists. I believe I am correct, but I will always consider that I could be wrong, it is a requirement of critical thinking. Have a great day you all.

Defining that new game

Almost two days ago I wrote ‘A really crazy idea’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/09/21/a-really-crazy-idea/) my mind did not sit still as it evolved and evolved a few ideas. You see, this game has real options as the hatred/disgust of the United States administration has not let up and with their ‘statements’ of a new deal with Greenland, which is basically the same one they had since 1951, the EU is added to this lovely set of people with a lasting disgust/hatred of the United States administration. So as such a mere 10% of 2 billion people would amount to 200 million optional gamers, making this idea slightly more successful than Skyrim has ever been. And a gamer like me finds that setting more than addictive. 

So whilst my mind was setting the data in my mind of events, sort of attack and impact set against the GDP of states and the GDP of the nation, all whilst we consider the impact that books and movies had in the suspense, terror and fictive fiction. Consider that these ideas were farfetched in the 70s, nowadays there is a reality of options and that is merely the start of it all. 

So when we see this and now realise that the United States have been playing loose with the security of its nation. Whilst the settings to rail and harbours have been shorted to the largest extend. As such finding a hundreds of books and hundreds of TV and cinematic approach to dangers to the way of life that the United States so ‘advertises’ we see a new setting of gaming and I like my gaming and we all love a high score, even if it is against a former ally. So, when we thing of this. How will the people in the Gulf States and Eastern Asia see this game? I reckon that billions will be playing it and that is where my gaming insight combined with BI and databases are connecting. 

So whilst we get the setting of a future game, I am wondering how much of a book I could ‘copy’ in narration before copyright protection shuts it down. So consider that this idea got a foothold from 1970 The Scarlatti Inheritance (by Robert Ludlum) where we saw “During World War II, the Allies launched a massive campaign of economic warfare to cripple Nazi Germany’s capacity to wage war. Because Germany relied heavily on imported raw materials, fuel, and foreign labor, the Allies targeted these vulnerabilities through three main strategies” and as we look now, the United States has pushed itself into a corner by alienating all the allies it once had and made a bigger enemy of China and the far east. As such I saw this setting and a game that they will love (the United States less so) and the setting of a think tank that wages economic war for the betterment of self is not an alien concept. As such there is a larger fuel feeding that could happen. Now consider the movie Wanted: Dead or Alive (1987), we all think that this is just a movie, but Gene Simmons (from the band Kiss) put a dangerous enemy on the map. And the Dutch Rutger Hauer only barely stopped him and now that the harbours are lacking in security that setting is not an inconceivable as seen. This is merely one movie and there are hundreds more and whilst the United States is lacking in several places. The impact of such matters could be largely disastrous (especially as the US Bank accounts are now minus 40 trillion) and that is where my gaming gene came into play, because the idea of another Evil Genius game but now set unto the impact of a nation might be just what my bank account needs (we all care for ones own bank account).

So, why so many options?
We all need a game that has replayability and is not set onto the same shape over and over again and whilst we take a turn onto what is possible, we could set the station onto sabotage of services, populations and a whole range of targets. The setting is that the more options (and optionally more after release) could entice a whole range of gamers into the field of this game. And as the game is set towards creativity, there are a whole range of other options to be considered (even some I haven’t figured out myself yet). 

And whilst we are considering how foolish I am, consider that President Trump created this stage himself and good business is where you find it and why be nice about that? When we consider the impact of animosity, consider the setting that the enemy of my enemy is my friend and as such there are people from Istanbul to Beijing who actively hate President Trump and his administration and as such optional donators to my bank account (my personal version of delusion) and we can go from there, because I put the idea online so that they can ‘feed my bank account’ with their gratitude. We all work with what we have and the only gaming entities that like my idea are in China, India or the Gulf states and this is my way to addressing them all.

But there are still a few kinks to work out and whilst people will look into IMDB for ‘attacks on America’ and the will have a few hundred options there and when we consider the books hundreds more will surface. A setting that is the start of it all. Getting this into a field with expected damage per state or as a country will require some time and they will see the impact that all this could make. The first hurdle being passed opens up the second stage. The stage of a fictive timeline of research, development and implementation. And in all of these cases no fake AI was required. What a lovely setting we see.

So, let the developer who might like a few hundred million games sold stand up, because even at $5 per games on mobile, this could make them a billionaire in a decently short amount of time. An amount at the expense of President Trump which he has no hold over and cannot collect on. What a lovely stage he created with his animosity. Oh, I just realised, there are plenty of Canadians who might try to get into this game as well and develop this and I just now remembered that Ubisoft Montreal shed a lot of members, they might want to get into this as well. Ah, what a funny setting. The people labelled’ to be the ‘51st state’ might want to make a game that ends the United States. The symmetry is overwhelmingly sweet. 

Have a great day today.

The delusion express

That is what I am seeing and people who claim that I am so wrong could be correct. I don’t think anyone has any faith in what this Trump administration is trying to do and whist we are given ‘What’s the US–China AI ‘hotline’ that Trump plans to pitch to Xi Jinping?’ The first thought that comes to my mind is “And China cares about what Trump will bring?” And this is the first feeling that evades from my regarding the Al Jazeera article. So whilst we accept the concept of “Washington and Beijing discuss AI hotline idea amid escalating competition and restrictions on advanced technologies.” There is literally nothing bringing hope on whatever the message from Washington is. This is the consequence of a tour gone bad. So whilst we were given 2 hours ago (source: The Guardian) ‘Houthis move to seize strategic terrain after Trump calls off airstrikes at last minute’ we need to wonder what President Trump has achieved in the last 200 days whilst he started to Bomb Iran, now its Houthi terrorist allies are given some kind of fictive shield to attack Saudi Arabia. As such China needs to consider who they could topple whatever Washington does and that AI hotline should be placed in a DeepSeek AI IT tech centre. So when he calls it, we could get the following conversation

[Trump] This is President Trump, we have an AI that has gone wild
What version of DeepSeek are you using?
[Trump] We have no DeepSeek, it is ChatGPT, I think it is the beautiful latest version
And why would we care what your fake AI is doing to you?
[Trump] Is this the AI hotline?
this line is hot, we are always helping our DeepSeek users, we have over 130 million active users.
[Trump] disconnecting line sound

You get the idea, because the only people thinking that there is a Fake AI issue are the non-Chinese and with “The United States wants a new “notification mechanism” with China to warn each other when an artificial intelligence incident becomes serious enough to threaten national security. The proposal, effectively an “AI hotline”, was discussed on Sunday during talks in New York between US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, ahead of a summit between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington this week.” And the setting is real enough. Why would China worry of anything serious enough to threaten US National security? Think about that. The entire setting is a delusional setting and when we realise that there was a clear reason for me to call all AI fake, you might see where where this article goes. I reckon that the Russians are howling with laughter. And I reckon that China is on that same setting. There was someone who  who brought this up to the surface today.

Ben Affleck gave this interview 8 months ago. You can watch it (at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmgKA1FmKdk) and it is what I have been saying all along and being how he states it is quite brilliant. I use way too many characters to say the same thing. And when you realise where AI is, you gets to see the clown setting that President Trump and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent are trying to pose to you. And this setting is merely two comedy characters trying to grow a case and a seeing that does not now, likely not ever come into play. Because in all this the setting relies on a True AI and not fake AI and we are over a decade too soon for that and whatever you see anywhere, and likely the valuation isn’t likely to happen any day soon, because they are already in a fight to keep their heads above water and that is less and less likely to happen now, especially as Iran and their Houthi terrorists are attacking Saudi Arabia. So whilst President Trump is halting their ‘drop-off’ points for things that go BOOM, oil is now not reaching the places that need it to fuel data centres, as such the capital expenditure will fail to meet the settings it needs to be and as Ben Affleck stated, the next wave might be 25% better, but cost 400% more and the return on this investment will fail near immediately and I saw this years ago and because several points aren’t being met the entire setting of fake AI is faulty. I see options and they are great, but also based on data that is available and AI needs to go further and that is still at least 5 steps short of what some people call True AI. So in this setting President Trump is trying to sell an AI hotline?

What is he? The representative of Radio Rental? (People in the UK and Canada will get this reference), so whilst we are given “US Treasury Secretary Bessent said Washington had proposed creating a US-China AI dialogue, with particular focus on national security and a notification system covering “common goals and common threats”. “We think that, just like with any cross-border activity, that moving from opaque to more transparency between the number one and the number two AI powers in the world is very important,” Bessent told reporters after Sunday’s discussions.” I see a failing setting in several places and whatever this hotline is, it is not about AI. So whilst we think that there is progress with ‘OpenAI Urges Washington to Lead Global Effort to Create AI-Safety Standards’ (source: WSJ) and the text given is “OpenAI is asking the U.S. government to lead an effort with other countries to develop global safety and security standards for building cutting-edge artificial-intelligence systems.” It is my personal believe that Sam Altman and his OpenAI is now entering the setting that Ben Affleck described as “the next wave might be 25% better, but cost 400% more” and Sammy Altman cannot sell this, so he needs a governmental buffer, so ho can state something along the way “We are ready, but the government wants security buffers” this is what I expect to happen and they have trillions in the mix and the longer they can postpone this, the safer they are. And in all this the inactions towards Iran and Houthi terrorists is changing that premise as well, because until last week no one every expected that Saudi Arabia would halt its oil deliveries and that will be hitting all over the EU soon enough. Their option will be that Canada can make some of the deliveries, but I reckon that it cannot fulfill the 100% required (I actually have no idea how much Canada could deliver within the next month) so that is another setting the EU will ave to deal with.

I advise you to watch the Ben Affleck interview on YouTube, it is near brilliant. So am I delusional, or it President Trump delusional? I am leaving this in the middle, because in several cases it could be me and when you realise that I was right all along, you will see the first setting of this delusion. The idea that fake AI is ‘this dangerous’ that a hotline with China is required, becomes a joke in itself. Because DeepSeek has been accused of distilling data and all kinds of acts, all whilst there is a massive shortcoming on Validation and Verification of all these fake AI engines. That realisation gives rise to the failing to meet the return on capital investment and that is the part that relies on trillions. It is a neat little line that goes everywhere and at that point. What would you think of Sam Altman and their ‘worries’. This is the stage you are all seeing and some are merely reporting this news. This is not on the Wall Street Journal, Al Jazeera, BBC, or CBC, but someone is fueling a fire in the wrong areas and you need to ask questions about that. 

Have a great day today.

Reasons for a ban

That was what I saw and I questioned it, because when any White House bans a media station as vanilla as CNN, something else is going on. And I have been on the fake news setting for months and there are enough of them to give shouts on, but CNN? That’s like banning vanilla for being non-chocolate flavored. It almost makes no sense. Almost being the operative word. So I started to look deeper and by jove, I’ve got it. You see less than 24 hours before the ban CNN gave us an article named ‘The real reason for Trump’s pedal-to-the-metal approach on AI’ written by Allison Morrow. Yes, yes, his favorite kind of journalist, a girly girl that does not care about his ‘delusional magnificence’ gave us a few real questions to wander about and that could have been the reason for banning them (I merely said could). You see the story (at https://edition.cnn.com/2026/09/18/economy/trump-ai-economy) gives us a few hard settings. The first being “President Donald Trump is suddenly at odds with AI’s leading executives over the largely unchecked development of AI technology. And it may be because our economy can’t afford a slowdown.” A view I have had for some time and there is a chance that some are waking up to the real peril the United States its in. And I think it is the realisation that “Trump’s pedal-to-the-metal approach suggests he may be more concerned about a bigger question: What happens to the US economy if the AI fever breaks on his watch?” And I get it, all this fake AI and people might wonder what happens when this fake AI gets to show the weakness of its fakeness and starts asking (en masse) the questions the media (in a world according to Trump), needs to hide for the good of America. This setting has run its course and the problem is that these questions are coming to the surface of nearly all fields and there is not much that this president can do to prevent that from coming to the surface. He could ban them to the White House and have them fish behind the netting what have been fished clean. That is what he might be thinking, but the story isn’t that pretty. So when we get “There are a lot of ways to slice the metrics on just how dependent the US economy has become on AI (and AI-adjacent) spending. ING estimates tech investments dominated by AI and data centers account for a third of year-over-year economic growth in 2026. Goldman Sachs’ chief equity strategist recently told CNBC that AI investment is driving half of all the profit growth in the S&P 500.” But I have said it on several occasions. Considering that nearly all of the “AI investment is driving half of all the profit growth comes without a return on investment for close to a decade” so what happens when there is no coinage linked to these investments? That is the question that the media to the largest degree is mismanaging. Now we see one article that brings that to the surface and they are banned?

So has anyone looked at Stargate LLC lately? A planned $500 billion investment over several years, it was going to be such a beautiful solution, all whilst there is no return on investment planned for the better pat of at least a decade and it will (according to some) create over 100,000 American jobs, so in this age of mass redundancies. Did anyone consider what happened to that project which was last years great solution? 

So what happened to OpenAI (operational responsibility), SoftBank (financial responsibility and chairmanship via Masayoshi Son), Oracle, Microsoft, Nvidia, Arm, and MGX? I am merely asking, but in light of this CNN article, these questions also come to the surface. As such questions in the open and whilst CNN gives us “AI bulls believe it is the defining technology of our time, and that the stratospheric share prices it’s creating are just one of its many benefits. With widespread adoption in the future, the thinking goes, AI will turbocharge productivity the way the internet did at the turn of the century.” What matters now is that all this AI is fake and no one is wondering what happens over the next decade, because these data centers are in some form currency and when fake currency comes into the main setting of everything there is a bitter aftertaste and this is now seemingly surfacing. You see, the only real AI that we should embrace is now called ‘true AI’, but this is the AI that Alan Turing wrote about in his papers and if True AI is AI, then all the other puppies called AI become fake AI and that is the fear that President Trump has, because when the people realise that all the AI settings are fake, president Trump’s economy is collapsing near immediate and that is the real fear he has. So whilst he will come with all the film flam talks he can and how ‘amazing’ these AI players are, they need to see that all this fake AI is merely Machine Language with Deeper Learning and LLM in places are real solutions and they are at times great, but it is not AI, not even close and that is the setting they are all hiding. A sales talk that was placed in an overreaching setting and it s now coming to light. And this multi trillion dollar bluff is coming to bite all the players in the ass and whether it is a validated setting is beside the point.

And all along we now get OpenAI giving us ‘OpenAI reveals six more safety issues and unveils plan to disclose incidents’ (source: BBC) but first we need to conclude a few parts in the CNN article. You see we are also given “The icing on the cake, said Sonola, is the wealth effect. People with stock portfolios exposed to AI are feeling flush, and they’re spending lavishly — further helping prop up America’s consumer-centric economy. Whatever people’s personal beliefs about the technology, the money going into it is keeping the world’s biggest economy humming. If that money train stalls, the effects won’t be contained to tech investors on Wall Street.” Which is finished by “Last week, ratings agency Fitch ran a scenario imagining the economic outcome of an AI-related downturn, with US stock prices falling around 35% over six months, roughly the median decline of past financial busts. The result was that the economy would go into recession, with GDP contracting 1.5% next year. To be sure, there’s no guarantee, or even specific indication, that the music is stopping anytime soon, and Fitch noted that “a sharp decline in US equity prices is not our base case.”” Butter is the real danger, the US economy can never survive a 35% stock drop, I am willing to guess that even a 15%-20% drop in stock prices fall will basically end the US economy. That is the dark side of a $40 trillion billion bill with interest due every year (optionally paid in months) but that will end all of this quite quickly. 

So now we get the BBC piece and we get one little gem there. It is “In the blog, OpenAI detailed examples of its AI models misbehaving so they could achieve a task or succeed in a test. The incidents included the models generating instructions to get around restrictions imposed on them, hiding mistakes and fabricating information. The firm also announced a new system to track, investigate and disclose cases of models misbehaving, or “misalignment”.” Now consider that this is Machine Language with Deeper Learning and not AI. So when will someone ask the programmers what is going on? I reckon these people are filtered away into ‘protected’ jobs. But the question remains and the effect on OpenAI with its operational responsibility to Stargate LLC is largely ignored and these questions are surfacing now, not just by me, but all over the field. And the investors are starting to get worried about the money they put into this, because those investors will lose a lot more than 35%. So when did you last see any investor not worried about his investment? I’ll hold the egg timer, you go look and the answer will scare you, because all this is pushed to nearly every corner and these corners are quietly praying that no one will wisen up, because it is their livelihood that is under fire at present. We get Google Gemini telling us (yes, I see the hidden hypocrisy there) “Artificial intelligence isn’t just replacing tasks—it is actively fueling and creating millions of new roles while transforming billions more. Rather than a simple number of “AI-fueled jobs,” major economic and labor data point to a massive wave of job creation” but the smallest setting is not investigated. How to validate and verify  the so called AI data. So far there is not much of this going on and these are the massive requirements, because AI that runs on invalidated data and unverified data is by definition fake, so who is looking into that? Because if you cannot see these parts, what are you looking at?

Just a few little questions to ask and now wonder what parts did Politico get right? Perhaps it was ‘Poll: Americans say there’s a serious risk of AI destroying humanity’ three days ago. So as I see it there is something a lot more scary than the Epstein files. The knee-jerk actions of President Trump indicates this by his scared demeanor. 

Have a great day today.

What the eyes see

That is the question at times. So is it ‘What the eyes see’ or ‘What the iiii’s see’? Both are applicable and the setting is that is comes with a subjective view. That is often the case. But this is not about the particular. The article that passed my eyes was quite good and the subtext is “The AI hyperscalers will likely spend more than $1 trillion on data centers next year. Can they make enough money to sustain the infrastructure boom?”, the question reverberates as I have been asking that same question for some time. We all see the ‘investments’ that goes deep into the trillions, and no one seems to be worried about Return on Investment, a setting that is clearly asked in every boardroom in the world. And no one is willing to walk that question. So I grin from a distance and see all these people go “AI AI AI AI” and more of that. Then they all point at some newscast where President Trump states that “The golden age of AI” is upon us. But that simple statement ‘Golden age’ requires a return on investment. That is how it always goes as long as Ive lived and the term return on investment might be somewhat new, but the setting of that requirement was already old when a panting in 1639 was commissioned. It was then lost and found again and is now known as the Night Watch (a sketch by Rembrandt van Rijn) and the article starts rather strong with “When Jessica Wachter, a finance professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, wanted to assess AI’s impact on the economy over the next few years, she faced a long list of business and technical uncertainties. So she started with what she calls a “remarkable fact” that is not in question: A handful of so-called hyperscalers are investing huge amounts of money to build AI data centers. Instead of trying to predict how useful and widely deployed AI models will be, she simply asked how fast the hyperscalers’ earnings will need to grow to justify their spending through 2027, when—she and her collaborator estimate—expenditures will reach nearly $1.1 trillion. It’s a no-nonsense accounting approach to making sense of today’s historical AI buildout.” The source is (at https://www.technologyreview.com/2026/09/15/1144028/ai-infrastructure-boom-investment-bubble-risk/amp/) and it is called MIT Technology Review. We are also given “While the hyperscalers plan to spend trillions, total AI revenues will be around $150 billion to $200 billion this year, says Gary Gensler, who ran the SEC during the Biden administration and is now a professor at MIT’s Sloan School. “The challenge is that the spending does not have commensurate revenues yet. That’s a fact,” he says. “And then the question is, is that an investment that will be paid off in the future?”” From a distance (as I personally see it) it is a bundle of technology firms who have (on the books) trillions and they are using it to play ands of high risk poker and the world is allowing this, because if they lose it all they can write it off against their taxation, so the people basically pay for it all and I see it as a whole lot of nonsense because AI does not yet exist. I have written about this on several occasions. So, should it not be done? I cannot answer this, because Machine Learning and Deeper Learning (what I call Deeper Machine Learning, or DML) is a strong tool, and it could come with Large Language Models (LLM) if that setting is warranted and it was merely wrongly sold. It gave me the setting that court cases would reign over all this in 2026 and I was proven correctly. What we see now, is a clever use of predictive analytics on a much larger scale, but it is not AI, as such the Return on Investment needs to be strong. And as we see here (in this article) “At stake in that trillion-dollar question is the financial health of the giant AI companies and the overall US economy—the investments could soon balloon to around 3% of GDP. The answer could also determine the fate of the hugely expensive data centers themselves. No one really knows how profitable and useful these multibillion-dollar behemoths will be down the road. Though AI models have made dazzling progress over the last few years, it’s anyone’s guess how much compute capacity we will need. The technology could become more efficient and therefore less dependent on raw computational power. Or demand for AI products could slow, or customers could turn to cheaper models.” And whilst we think of the risk that ‘cheaper models’ give us, that setting might prove rather difficult, because when cost is pushed to make way for revenue, costing becomes a big thing and it really is a big thing. So when we are given “No one really knows how profitable and useful these multibillion-dollar behemoths will be down the road” the issue of return on investment will show its ugly head and that is the price part of this debate and no one is having it, because these boar members are all “We need AI and we need it now”, all whilst the return on investment is not proven and not shown anywhere. Don’t get me wrong. There are clear cases where a setting exists and options exist. I was shown the case of the issue of lost property and the stage was shown that from weeks, there is a setting where weeks could be turned into a setting where it could be done in under two hours. That is clear return in investment and for airports and bus terminals it could be a space saver. And from there we see interactive improvements. These are good ideas, even great ideas that when AI is finally here it will become powerhouses, but there is the setting that proper database work and LLM might do the trick. Clever programming that does not require AI. We got by just fine before this fake AI and whilst these snake oil vendors are so settled in ‘their’ AI, all whilst they are using the principles of predictive analytics and that is not AI.

So then we get to “The risks, both to investors and to the economy, have become even greater this year, as these AI companies have begun borrowing large amounts of money to build more and more data centers. Free cash flow—operating cash flow minus capital expenditures—is expected to soon dip into negative territory for the group. Even Alphabet, known for generating and hoarding huge amounts of cash, reports in the latest quarter that its impressive revenues of nearly $120 billion were devoured by AI infrastructure spending, leaving it with a free cash deficit of some $5.9 billion—its first shortfall since Google went public in 2004.” This is because I see another shortfall in the short term. Everyone is so driven towards data centers, whilst President Trump has driven the EU and other places away from the vendors of the United States and the term ‘data sovereignty’ is becoming more and more commonplace and whilst everyone is seeing these data centres and Stargate centres. It requires data and the EU is moving fast away from whatever Microsoft and Google are handing down towards their own centers not using software or hardware from the United States. The cloud act is now making that no longer an option. We get that from Politico, who gave us some time ago “Europe is actively trying to break its deep-rooted dependence on American big tech and cloud infrastructure. While major U.S. hyperscalers (like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google) still control roughly 70% of the European cloud market, public institutions and governments are shifting away from them”, as such 2027 might see a rather large turnabout and what happens to these data centres that are lacking data? You might think this is easy, but it all impacts the return on investment. 

So when we get to “Performance of the expensive GPU chips at the core of the data centers—such compute electronics represent some 60% of costs—is roughly doubling every two years or so. The pace of progress helps explain the increasing wizardry of the AI models, but it comes with a cost. Owners of AI data centers that come online this year and next will need to spend billions more on the next generation of chips by the end of the decade if they want to stay competitive. Without the investments, says Mihir Kshirsagar at Princeton’s Center for Information Technology Policy, the data centers risk becoming “hulks,” stranded assets “scattered all over the place.”

To put it bluntly: The AI companies need to start making a lot more money. And they need to do it fast. But juicing their earnings alone still won’t be enough to sustain their data-center investments for the long term.” And that is merely the beginning and I saw this roughly two years ago when I questioned the entire return on investment setting in all this and this article written by David Rotman does a good job, even more eloquent than I would have been. Although we basically say the same, this article does so a little better (and definitely more eloquent) then I could have written. So when you see the billions due next year, optionally over the next 2 years. Where is the return on investment? Because that is the question that is out there and as the IT field is changing and moving away from the United States, they too will see diminished revenue numbers. That much is certain, so where does this all stand? I am expecting a setting of actual AI to be a little over a decade away, it depends on certain factors and it also take in account a setting that I personally see (which might be wrong) but I feel that there is no AI, or as some call it true AI and I believe that requires a trinary data setting. As I see it it requires quantum computers (which exist) with shallow circuits (which is still in an early stage, as far as I know) and it requires a trinary coprocessor, which I call a Epsilon processor. These elements are required for an aI system, I set the system using a trinary coprocessor because that makes sense in a setting that is in part binary, that setting makes sense. We cannot merely push trinary systems through, there is will be a stage where they both need to exist. Later these systems are likely to be completely trinary, but that is merely my thoughts on the matter. And all this is still set towards the stages of return on investment. When you are considering this, how many billions are still required and who is willing to place this onto a systems that is unlikely to turn profit for a few years, optionally ver a decade. Who has that kind of money? There are a few, but are they willing to surrender that kind of money? The question might seem simple but the setting is not as straightforward as anyone thinks. And I saw this all along, so who gave you all the idea that the golden age of AI was here? Because that requires a massive revenue, or am I wrong?

Have a great day today, I’m now 90 minutes from Thursday and in Toronto it is now breakfast time. The idea to start the day with breakfast in Eggspectation on Bay Street is a little overwhelming for me at the moment. So you all have a good one and I will write to you in about 17 hours.
