Danger zone

Yes, that is the setting and it is not some song by Kenny Loggins (1986) or Tom cruise playing rocket man with his F14 Tomcat (it wasn’t his, it was property of the US defense forces). The danger zone is real and Europe just opened it up. As I saw how EU countries are now rejecting Microsoft and Google on national scales, the setting changes. I get why you reject Microsoft and to some level grudgingly accept that Google will go that same way, the need for data sovereignty is almost crystal clear, especially in this US Administration. But the danger zone comes calling. You see, Google also owns Mandiant and as it is called a premier, technology-agnostic cybersecurity firm specializing in advanced threat intelligence, incident response, and managed defense with decades of experience, it was bought by Google in 2022, as such it will fall away from the nooks and crannies of office cyberspace. As such I wonder if anyone considered rereading their contracts and the danger zone they opened themselves up to. I have no idea what Microsoft has (and I kinda don’t care) but they will have something in place and when that all falls away, the EU and its settings is opening themselves up for a lot of cyber hassle. A massive redirection will be needed to avert the dangers they are opening themselves up to. I also reckon that every Tom, Dick, Harry and Seamus with more than 2 weeks of cyber knowledge will offer themselves as ‘cyber experts’ and that is likely going to increase the tensions and threat settings for corporations all over the EU. I reckon that (allegedly) Russian and Chinese cyber threats will be running rampant over the next 20 weeks, a cyber defense setting will become unavoidable. And if the EU doesn’t act fast, the costs will go into the millions per nation. 

So even as we want to think that Google is the big evil (it really isn’t) the consequences of the CLOUD Act is one expensive hobby the United States never considered. As Europe (and soon the Commonwealth too) is deciding that their digital sovereignty is the way to go, we can see a direct implosion of the AI bubble, because as I see it, the United States has well over 4000 data centers and that much is not required for the 349 million people it has and at that point, as these data centers fall away, I reckon that the United States will drop these data centers as bad mortgages, most of them falling away because a population of one, is not much of a population to cater to in any data centre. In addition, any corporation who wants to stay in business will have to create a European business, taking revenue away from the USA to a much larger extent. They wanted a ‘cloud’ act and in 2018 they got it “The CLOUD Act (Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act) is a 2018 U.S. federal law that dictates how technology companies respond to law enforcement requests for electronic data stored across international borders” and the bit of ‘electronic data stored across international borders’ will be costing them their heads soon enough and there is no turning back that clock, confidence in the United States is gone. So, whilst we are given “U.S. authorities can legally compel U.S.-based tech companies (like Google, Microsoft, or Meta) to hand over user data and communications, regardless of whether that data is stored in the U.S. or abroad” the danger is that this will also affect Amazon and optionally Oracle too. In case of Oracle there is doubt as it is a software vendor and they do not owe any data, but their cloud corporation will take a massive hit. To that I have no doubt. You see as a US corporation, Oracle’s global cloud environments can be legally compelled to hand over data to US authorities via mechanisms like the CLOUD Act. This puts European companies using standard global Oracle infrastructure at risk of violating local privacy laws, not to mention dangers to their data sovereignty. As expressions go, this means that the United States really pickled their jars. What is clear is that I looked into a Swedish completely isolated data centre 1-2 years ago and that firm is likely making massive revenue gains, because others called them nuts for doing what they did and I reckon they are close to the only vendor in town that is not hindered by US protocols. 

An interesting phase, but the danger for cyber security remains. And Microsoft? They are about to lose the bulk of 451 million customers, so their footing is about to get shaky and for the cyber settings, whomever (non American) comes with a decent package will make a killing in Europe. I wonder who will fill that option? 

What a nice setting to come to, so any gamer who wants to have his own No Man’s Sky universe with the data storage to keep a nation of gamers happy, it is likely that the USA will have some places for sale soon enough. Have a great day all.

Kettle calling chopstick black

That is the setting and it is given to us by the BBC (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq6peqrnzpro) where we see ‘MI5 warns Chinese spies using job websites to target government staff’, as I see it, it is time to go into Monty Python mode with ‘Howls of deriving laughter’. You see NSA, MI5, MI6, DGES and I suspect the BND have been doing the very same thing for over 30 years. They sugarcoated it through certain captains of industry to ‘offer’ interesting jobs and then after additional vetting, they gave these people a second income and until 2010 that was a safe trip, but as I see it President Trump put his oversized clown shoes in that setting messing things up. In addition the Western economy took a nose dive. So the previous settings do not hold water and the NSA is confronted with ICE, MAGA and Karen’, so their job is a little harder still. The article gives us “In a joint warning issued in a bulletin by the Five Eyes alliance, made up of UK, US, Australia, Canada and New Zealand agencies, it warned undercover operatives are using legitimate sites including LinkedIn, Indeed and Upwork to advertise fake analyst jobs. Applicants are then pressurised into revealing “non-public” information which can be used by the Chinese military intelligence service.” And there are two elements missing from all that. The first is that there is little need for pressurization, the second one is that places like LinkedIn seems to have cornered the stage where industrials have been for some time Ghosting job applicants, or putting fake jobs out there. So, in comes Huawei or Tencent offering optional jobs? These applicants are suddenly roaring with intent to do well. So I don’t think ‘pressure’ is needed. 

Then we get a few other settings. As I (optionally delusional) see it, Sergey the Oogly Googly Googler Brin with his two hundred and fifty thousand millions owes me $3M (post taxation) and yes, it is delusional, because as I see it, Google uses my written words to train its Fake AI called Gemini. And I am super pro Google, but as I see it all AI is fake. True AI doesn’t exist yet (not for at least a decade) and I gave several articles pointing that out. Someone said that (about two months ago) that per article this amounts to $1.5 million and over 5000 transgressions on my articles sets the ‘expected’ (and optionally delusional) stage that I am due at least $3,000,000 post taxation. I’m not claiming that I have any right to his fortune, merely to what might optionally be mine. Make of it what you will. And there is more. Australia housing is rubbing people the wrong way (not intentionally) there is housing crises and people cannot afford anything. Some are identified as refusing an allocated twice, whilst the second event was that they were in heart surgery. How is that fair? Then we get the stage where in Australia we hear about experience underpayment or are denied mandatory leave. So in this setting and I reckon the same setting is seen in the United Kingdom people are willing to listen to job offers from Tencent and Huawei (China), Aramco (Saudi Arabia) and ADNOC (UAE) and these people are seriously looking for talent and the latter part is mostly Australia and the United States, but after all the bad news people are seeing, China now has a real option to put pressure on the workforces in the west and there is need for these skills. So whilst we see that jobs are los to AI (which is utter bogus) the reality is that bosses keep friends and their friends employed because the budgets are dwindling and they need people to sit in that same place so that they are safe and that is how an entire workforce is valued out of a job and these people are often the true innovators. Not their bosses or the friends that they have. They are in it for themselves and it is seen all over the workforce in a near global setting. So there are more people willing to listen to the people who are actually talking to them. 

That is the reality of theater and it affects the work sphere of places like MI5. But GCHQ was on this workhorse for over 30 years, so turnabout is almost fair game (MI5 will not see it that way). This situation isn’t merely UK, it is the United States and the entire Commonwealth to a larger extent. I have no idea how it affects India, because they have the most skewed workforce on the planet, but I reckon they are in a similar spot, especially the learned DML workforce. But didn’t they see this coming? Especially the United States. 

So whilst the workforce in nations is seeing raw deals and unfair treatments, these workers are willing to listen to anyone giving them a fair shake. So whilst the BBC emphasizes on “UK will not tolerate Chinese spying, minister says after MI5 alert” we get that this is a truth, but the UK has been doing this for decades and now that the UK (others too) are vulnerable the danger is a lot more real than it was pre 2010. So whilst we see “Workers who could be targeted range from security clearance holders to academics and think tank employees, it warned.” The danger is a lot more real as the captains of industry have been sidelining their aging workforce as being too expensive and that is where the knowledge is and when these people are gone to other shores the brain-drain sets in in a most unexpected way. And these sidelines people are no longer to be the willing assistant of some young upstart who had the inside track because he had the diploma that sounded awesome. A diploma without experience is merely someone holding a printed piece of paper, not the knowhow that a company needs to make the revenue real. 

So that is my bit on the matter and would I, considering what Huawei, Aramco or ADNOC could offer me? Most definitely. When you realize that being valued is good for the soul, the soul will seek sunny shores. It always does. We have learned the hard way that companies no longer rewards loyalty, not for over a decade, so the older workforce is looking towards places that allows them to be valued for a little while longer. So whilst we see that the tea kettle is calling the chopsticks black, realise that the kettle started it all in the early 90s.

Have a great day today, optionally valued too.

The brain jostles

That happens, in my mind there is an eternal struggle for dominance (not in a bad way) but the back of the mind saw something and it is trying to work it out, whilst me, myself and I are also in need of that grey matter. The back of the mind saw a DARPA challenge of ‘Triage Challenge (DTC)’ with the subtext “Transforming how medical responders triage in mass casualty incidents by advancing scalable, timely, and accurate tools.” But the brain (mr Grey) saw that the bottlenecks is not a setting of operation, it is one of adherence. It doesn’t make sense. But consider that a nation has 15 million people and they all trusted Microsoft (there’s a thought) , but as they trusted AI (for whatever reason) and now we have 15 million unresponsive people. So, Mr Grey decided that the setting is not that you need to get to people, you need a solution that can be deployed at any place in that nation and from there the settings come calling. So Mr. Grey decided to employ a call centre and treat every person like it is part of a call centre. Confused? I thought you were, I was too. But consider that you have two stacks one with medical personnel and one not. The call centre setting makes every doctor important and that is the call. So whilst you have a doze doctors making calls and only a higher doctor can overrule a lower doctor, but then you get a new call centre where the pool comes from Nurses-Doctors-specialists and you refrain from bottlenecks you get a new kind of triage. So stop getting a dozen beds because you only have a dozen doctors, you get 60 beds because all the medical staff can determine casualties and disregard initial low calls, these low calls are not dismissed, but the pressure to get the important casualties are not restricted to these 12 beds. What does happen is that this call centre approach needs to work differently and that takes a logistical side, A new medical call centre approach so whilst we are given that there is a new consideration. So out of hand, consider that a hospital has a dozen forms, but instead of dispersing these forms, each doctor has all the forms, they are collecting an storing information and they print out a QCode, which has all the information and is attached to the person (like a Pandora chain on the wrist) and when there is more than one QCode charm, higher people look at this what might be required. And as this is all read on the spot, all whilst the tablets read and collect everything now, the equation changes. This allows for mass collection and triage abilities to move forward. It requires a great deal of discipline, but those in triage tend to have an abundance of those, but as I see it, triage tends to rot; l with the punch and the overlay of suddenly thousands of people needing access to triage makes for a weird situation, as such my brain works out in seconds that this requires a different approach, so whilst some need more nurses, we get the setting that 50 nurses record what needs to be and every doctor has its own nurse making judgement calls on people part of this was seen in Pearl Harbor (the movie) and they worked with what they had, but now we have and can deploy QCodes in seconds, so the track of the bottle neck changes and as these QCodes are deployed, people can be moved to a better site for treatment rather quickly. From there we get. New setting that power is less of an urgency and if these tablets have replaceable batteries, the downtime becomes very low and these batteries can be charged in a hospital and one box could contain 50 batteries, resetting the bulk of all tablets in seconds and DML allows for a much faster deployment of forms and most technology is already there to scan these forms and make them digital. No we merely need to traverse this setting to a QCode answer and the triage setting is near complete. You might have to add forms as one setting (like Pearl harbour) is not the same as another (Esso Chemical Rotterdam), they all have there own settings, but burn forms, respiratory forms and blood form have a near global setting, Doctors tend to have the same global talk and their writings all lead to a free ticket to a museum (small joke). So that was what Mr. Grey figured out in less then a minute. 

I was still in play mode and whilst I am not surprised that Sony tends to overwhelm any person who enjoys gaming, I still was blown away with what Sony produced in its state of play. You see I like racing of a kind and perhaps I was a little attached to the settings that Sony gave us with Grand Turismo (1-4) and Need for Speed underground (GameCube) or Project Gotham Racing (Xbox360), but today Sony blow the cover out of all of them with Stuntman Hollywood. A racing challenge with a difference. It looks good, but will it play awesome? Time will tell, but I didn’t see that one coming, so I got my wow factor. And as icing on the cake there was God of War Laufey, new character, new gameplay and new graphics. Everything a growing player needs for his or her diet. Still as I got the joules from my grey cells, mr Grey decided to consider a few more options in the situation he obviously is seeing as resolved. The QCodes go on a chain and the chain is also a data carrier and goes around the neck of the patient. The qcodes are added to that chain, but as I see it, the chain copies all the qcodes that are added and that chain might also collect physical setting, like an elongated smart ring. And it can all connect to the tablet of the doctor who is then getting additional knowledge and give the chain a code that gives it a colour. All setting a new conditional setting to triage and when triage is given in a remote location it merely enhances the information the doctor has access to. Where the qcode was added, where the person has been and from there we get a new kind of triage, because triage comes from the 1700s by Baron Dominique-Jean Larrey, the chief surgeon for Napoleon’s army. He started to sort the wounded, but we now have sort abilities that do not need a doctor, a nurse might do and even then there are some parts that need no medical staff, it merely needs to be recorded (hence the smart chain) and as the QCodes are added, the picture becomes more and more complete. Some need to get more tests, but if you consider that the goal is to reduce the severity of the wounded, we could walk a different path, a new path, not disregarding what we have, but what we can do. And battlefield triage is a lot dependent on what there is. So if we can find the category 1 people and reduce these to level 2, we are already winning. So consider we have:

Level 1: Resuscitation (Immediate)
Level 2: Emergency (<10 minutes)
Level 3: Urgent (<30 minutes)
Level 4: Semi-Urgent (<60 minutes)
Level 5: Non-Urgent (<120 minutes)

And from there we get to save them all (just like a Pokemon game), so the smart chain and the QCodes could enable that path, all whilst the doctors look at treating the level 2’s whilst looking for the level 1’s, a setting that comes through new logistics and automation (I refuse to call it AI), because DML will help here, will it be enough? That is for a doctor to decide. 

My ego is happy that I met another challenge by DARPA and one that is good for the medical sector, my ego is doing just fine. I wonder what my brain will mostly for tomorrow, time to get some steps in. Have a great day all.

The new short is coming

Saw there articles today, which gives me the willies. The people are that dumb to believe this? But to give you the goods, lets strata the beginning. The first one was CNBC giving us (at https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/28/anthropic-open-ai-startup-value.html) where we see ‘Anthropic tops OpenAI as most valuable AI startup, nears $1 trillion valuation in latest round’ it is here that we are given “The newest round was led by Altimeter Capital, Dragoneer, Greenoaks and Sequoia Capital, and almost triples Anthropic’s valuation from February, when it was worth $380 billion. The financing also includes $15 billion of previously committed investments, including $5 billion from Amazon, the company said. Anthropic’s biggest competitor OpenAI was valued at $852 billion in late March after closing a record-breaking $122 billion funding round.” But these people need to give us the why, so we are given ““Claude is increasingly indispensable to our growing global community of customers, and we work tirelessly to make tools like Claude Code and Cowork more helpful, more powerful, and more adaptable to their needs,” Anthropic Chief Financial Officer Krishna Rao said in Thursday’s press release. “This funding will help us serve the historic demand we are experiencing, stay at the research frontier, and bring Claude to more of the places where work happens.” Anthropic’s latest round comes as the leading AI model makers prepare to go public.” So, after this introduction into this blatant presentation, it is time for TechTalk to give us (at https://www.techtimes.com/articles/317467/20260531/samsung-hbm4e-ships-first-record-756-profit-surge-triggers-analyst-upgrades-ai-memory-lead.htm) where we are headed off with ‘Samsung HBM4E Ships First: Record 756% Profit Surge Triggers Analyst Upgrades on AI Memory Lead’, so all this fake AI has been going around for some time and I reckon that there is a misrepresentation with the 756% profit surge. So if my feelings are right, we need to look at the story and it is here that we are given “Samsung Electronics began shipping the world’s first 12-layer high-bandwidth memory 4 Extended (HBM4E) samples to major global customers on Friday, May 29, 2026 — putting the South Korean chipmaker at least six months ahead of rivals SK Hynix and Micron in the race to supply next-generation AI accelerators, and triggering a wave of analyst upgrades that pushed Samsung’s market capitalization past 2,000 trillion won for the first time in history. The milestone arrived just three months after Samsung began mass-producing its predecessor chip, HBM4, and came on the same day Samsung shares surged 5.84% to close at 317,000 won.” And here my gut feeling is satisfied. So can anyone give me how a 756% profit surge validates a mere 5.84%? Something does not add up. It doesn’t matter that Samsung is bigger than this, a 756% profit surge should validate more than an almost 6% surge. Some people are playing with your senses. 

So before I get to the third article. A little lesson. It is not the lesson you like and it isn’t even the lesson you will appreciate, but here goes. All AI is fake. There I not exception to this no matter what dance mr Oldman gives on stage, his ChatGPT was surpassed by Gemini and Anthropic some time ago and there is no guarantee that this will go his way. Google Gemini (and I love Google) is just as bit as fake as the others. Then we get all the others, all fake. Why? The stage is that all these are driven by DML/LLM and they are strong and good engine, they just aren’t AI. AI requires a few more components, some are ready but still in their early stages (like Quantum computing) then there is the need for Shallow circuits and I only know that IBM has come far in this field and they are working on this 10 years ago, are they ready? I guess not, because the media would be full of that if it were, but the are advancing and then there is the Epsilon chip. We have seen the theory, we have seen the evidence (some have seen this), but it does not yet exist in a chip, not yet and I have no idea when that will happen. So then we get the Trinary operating system, that is the last part. I particle think that IBM and Oracle are quietly working on this, but that is a gut feeling, all these parts combined are still 15 years away (my speculative feel). Oh, and in none of this Microsoft turns up, because it might take longer then. So this is what I know through the settings of decades of IT work and a decade of writing. But it matters, because now we get MSN with Larry Fink giving us (at https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/savingandinvesting/larry-fink-says-pensions-will-help-fund-10t-ai-buildout/ss-AA24sE6Z?ocid=finance-verthp-feeds) that ‘Larry Fink says pensions will help fund $10T AI buildout’, so whilst all your retirements are set into this bubble, this fictive bubble, better be rare that this last story was “Curated by AI” a mere 20 hours ago. I reckon that no one at MSN wants to put his or her name under this setting. We are given “Fink estimates $10 trillion will be needed for AI infrastructure by 2036, with $7 trillion for data centers alone.” And in addition we are given “Index fund-heavy retirement accounts are increasingly concentrated in AI-focused tech giants leading the spending.” And it comes with the warning that “Experts warn that overexposure to one sector could threaten retirement security if AI growth stalls.” In short, we are being set up. As I see it, over exposure would lead to the end of our pensions when the bubble of fake AI comes calling and even this late, at 64 when you see your pensions being squandered by hot headed job chasers claiming AI is this, or is that and we do not see a clear ROI, you know somethings up. This feels like the movie the Big Short, a 2015 American biographical comedy drama film directed by Adam McKay from a screenplay by McKay and Charles Randolph. Based on the 2010 book by Michael Lewis, it depicts how the 2008 financial crisis was triggered by the United States housing bubble. This is how it went everyone comes with the setting ‘you have to be in it to win’ and they are all gambling like it is some Texas holder game whilst they all have a version of a beer hand (7-2 offsuit) and they want to continue their rounds of gambling, hoping that the other players will fold, but they are all in it to over their necks, so they are all desperate. This is how I see it and when you get the numbers, especially on proven ROI, you will see that filling this 10 trillion gap with pensions is folly. I intend to call my pension that AI investments are off limits. I would rather put it in ADNOC or IHC. Three stories that make my blood grow thick in fear, they are now pushing the safety boundaries for millions of people and I am worried that no one is speaking up, it is that kind of a day and still there are no options for me, so I am beyond caring. 

Try to have a great day and try to keep your pension safe.

Lectionem disponens

Yes, that was the setting I gave you yesterday and in good standing I used the absolute worst application of latin you see here. (Planking the read), which roughly (really roughly) translate to a ‘reading plank’. I know I have a seriously warped sense of humor. You see it was important to do this in latin, because other languages have 10 of thousands of words. In Latin the idea is a little far fetched, but still applicable. 

So as such I got these 20 words to start of with:

Aqua (water) Asini (donkey) Aquilla (eagle) Pratus (meadow)
Triticum (wheat) Equos (horse) Columba (pigeon) Virgo (maiden)
Solum (soil) Currus (chariot) Cervus (stag) Sarcedos (priest)
Germana (sister) Via (road) Serpens (snake) Templum (temple)
Germanus (brother) Fluvius (river) Aper (boar) Vinum (wine)

So from there I started to think, these reading planks are static, the internet is not, so the idea came to me to upgrade the plank to the next level. When you get 100% on these words the plank will ‘upgrade’ to the next level, but it will not happen too soon. You see, the plank is also a gateway to lessons. A lesson on family (brother/sister) a lesson on animals (donkey/horse) a lesson on priest and temples and so on, only when you passed them all you get the next level of a reading plank. There will be a lesson on the hunt (boar/stag), lessons on transportation (horses/chariots) and this is another way to learn language, but as I see it, the approach will translate to Italian, Spanish, French and German in almost the same way, as I see it, the setting is almost transferable, not completely though, because the scenery will be different and the changes will be seen almost all over. The idea to have the plank and stick the work (which are on parchment) on this. As I see it, there are two ways to get into the Latin game and both are open. The first is a ‘poor’ serf who becomes a serf serving a priest in Rome (AC Brotherhood) 

As you see, it is only part of the map, it includes the Vatican and part of Rome. As a Papal guard you can enter the Vatican and you get a dwelling on Vatican island. As a serf you get a room in the church of the priest you serve and over time you will be allowed and required to enter Vatican island. Both will introduce you to etiquette and interactions with people both are different in the interactions whilst the priests will interact with the guards, as a serf you can only do the bidding of the priest and the jobs given. You can still interact with the people in Rome. As I see it a rather large linguistic challenge awaits you and the setting is almost the same for Italian, although you are nearly always housed in Rome, but as you gain experience and become adequate in Italian, you could meet and interact with people on Vatican Island, but the priests and cardinals there will only address you in Latin (unless you are given a job to do something in the Vatican).You think this is shallow, but etiquette mattered in those days and don’t think you can throw your weight around. The papal guards are not the nicest people to be rude to and at that moment you get a time out from the game and you are given clear instructions (in your dwelling) and you get to practice there for about an hour to get you more proficient in Italian and manners. 

This is merely your the beginning of what comes the way of the linguistically student. You see, it is not enough to merely learn the language, you will be pushed to get a feel for the language, something you could never get being the Apfelkorn jerk in Cortina d’Ampezzo. But as I see it, this is the way that could also be used to teach English and that too has two versions (and you would get both versions) the ‘proper’ way from AC Syndicate giving you class lessons and well (Whitechapel, The Strand, The Thames, The City of London and Westminster) and you get to learn the language skills and the etiquette as was custom in Victorian England. Modern day England is in Watchdogs Legion around Big Ben. French is in Paris (AC Unity) and Arabic/Farsi is in AC Mirage and Japanese/Portuguese is in AC Shadows. The materials are largely done (by Ubisoft) they merely need to reset the maps to the language areas and add the vocal part, the games and the tutelage parts. As I said, Ubisoft starts with a 75% program, 

I wonder which languages AC Hexe adds to the equation, I think it was German. Whatever you might think is valid but I wonder if Ubisoft had any idea what more was possible on products they had already finished. And that is before you consider how engaging the language becomes when this is paired with a meta quest visor.

Have a great day

The setting of the engineer

That is where I am at present. I have been knowing my brain around on designing games that can be used for reaching linguistic skills, but with a difference. As such I have been focusing on Latin, which was one of the languages that this solution would traverse, then from these we get to Italian and considering that people like Gaius Marius created the Italian army. There is a thought to create a few games (heavily based on MB games) to aid in the setting of this. So here I was (here I still am) converting the 1975 Tank Battle into a game with Chariots, the game play is almost the same and whilst they have no flags on the tanks they could gain a archer when they get tot he end. And the game is played by instructing (in latin) to move a chariot and as such you get linguistic training. Then we get to ‘Conquest of the Empire’ which is now called ‘securing the empire’ where we get to play a tactical game. These additions put the gamer in a linguistic mode, they will breath late in no time and no matter how limited this is and there were more games, Dice games were massively popular, so introducing them would aid this. Then there was a Dutch invention called ‘Leesplankje’ a Dutch 19th century invention that could aid here (and in other language models)

And the setting would be to use Latin phrases to aid in pronouncing certain Latin words. The idea is that these games would also be used to propel French, English, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Arabic and a few other languages. So even as the setting is based on other stages, the games could be introduced simultaneously, So here I am considering what games to add to that setting. So there is no need to add certain games, but several might be used in a different way. 

Legality
Legality is on the forefront of my mind because this is based on IP that is not mine. I feel decently secure that a game like Tank Battle has its IP protection shedded as they are unlikely to continue the legal protections, there is however the foundational protection a game designer has and the question becomes how much do you need to change a game for it to no longer to have certain levels and it might not be seen as illegal. Making a 10 by 10 field into a 15 by 15 field and making tanks Chariots might be enough, but I am not certain. Also it is a game within a game/simulation. I reckon the law was not ready for that, because there is no physical version (yet) but that is a worry for another day and for now I say ‘currum unum promove’ and ‘Da huic currui sagittarium’ and worry about tomorrow things tomorrow, because first the idea is to advance certain settings and create the elements to give this beast mass and power, because that is what makes great IP in the end. The idea is nice and essential, but when it remains and idea that is the foundation of it, when we add substance to the idea it means we seemingly worked out certain settings and it pays me too, because my mind can concoct all the things in the universe, but I have seen time and time again that I can move at speeds that most quantum computers see as madness (caressing my ego here). Still the setting when completed will be decent and the idea is not to replace language teachers, but it is to offer these services to millions of people that are out of reach of such teachers and there is a rather nice stage that these teachers will embrace that setting to educate more students in languages than currently is possible and quite soon is no longer possible, because that is also the impact of global recessions. So whilst we get sources like ABC News claiming that “The global economy is currently avoiding a worldwide recession”, but the thought has become “is it though?” Because there are too many elements in play and something has to give and education is the usual first victim in an economical war and it will be trivialized through “We are keeping our finger on the pulse and there is going to be an adjustment soon” but they are talking in styles that is leaving at least one generation partially uneducated on a near global stage. And I saw this at least 2-3 years ago, because this setting of languages was seen be me at least that long ago and I saw the business sense that a player like Ubisoft could employ, they had at least 75% ready before they ever started and that is a nice setting for a software solution maker, because that is what this will become. I think I have worked on this from 2025 onwards, but the idea to advance certain matters to all languages is decently new. 

Anyway, as we are told (13 minutes ago by the Guardian) that ‘Trump claims to be on verge of approving peace deal with major Iranian concessions’ I wonder how this was possible whilst we heard on March 15th 2026 that “Militarily, “we’ve essentially defeated Iran,” though he stopped just short of an official final victory declaration because he maintained the U.S. was still involved in delicate diplomatic talks”, yes, tell me another one. But all this is hitting the United States economically and even though it is only impacting 70 million students, the fact that the US debt surpasses their GDP is setting a strong need for a software solution and optionally not claiming a fake AI field and this is the benefit that Ubisoft could wield because there is a certain amount of certainty that the business branch of the world might not see an uneducated workforce as beneficial to them and for others to see a solution that takes away a workforce pressure in teachers that aren’t to be found gives a certain solace to the soul of these captains of industry. 

So you tell me how exactly  “the global economy is currently avoiding a worldwide recession” and I will show you where they are failing you because education and infrastructure are the first victims in a recession. 

So you all have a great day, it Saturday here now and whilst Toronto is enjoying its Friday happy feelings, I can tell them that this is overrated, because I have already seen that.

As ideas go

Just before I started writing yesterdays blog, I saw a walkthrough on Monaco. I watch them every now and then. Monaco, Toronto, Abu Dhabi, Dubai all the places I cannot afford to see myself, others make sure that this becomes an option. I reckon that the first Covid shutdown gave people ideas. Anyway, why I was watching the Monaco walkthrough, I suddenly realised around when the camera came to the Elle Style clothing store that something was missing. An adaptation of 5G and wearables. Consider the you pass a billboard, it gives a great style and you are a tourist there, so how to find this? Well, that is where this IP becomes a solution. You are on the Avenue de la Costa and you want to get to that store. So you need to find a map, a direction and if you are shabby in French you will face a few more issues. So here comes Lawrence (aka Garfield, aka Lawlordtobe, aka yours truly), and voila: 

So here we see the  the model, and that billboard at that point also gives the ‘willing recipient’ (the active instigator) the map tag, an optional Lightbox advertisement, the advertisement itself to be stored (if so set in your mobile) and in seconds you are ready to visit this place. A setting that the tourist, or local traveller can use to get to where they need to be. And it goes further, consider malls in Dubai, London, Toronto, they all get to have this added feature. Some will reject this, but most see the stage that this as added visibility  

So where we had nothing, we now have a solution that could be globally rolled out, I mention the famous places, but there is not a mall that cannot benefit from this and that is merely for starters. Government settings of advertising their events and event places become eager new customers, so consider that at any given year 16 million routine events are taking place, and now they get another channel to give visibility, millions of sport events and hundred of thousands of fair events. As I see it all optionally customers to the setting offered here and that is before you need to find the Apple Store in Monaco (hint: there isn’t one) but a new day is dawning (Google is here and me too) to make it all a little easier for the traveler and local stumped person trying to find out where Monaco is holding its Fête de la Mer (June 20th) or perhaps the Live Jazz at La Note Bleue in Lavrotto beach. All places that could benefit from visibility and that was merely one place. Now consider what shows Harrods is giving, a setting more tourists miss, so when these 300,000 daily shoppers get to see what is going on, I reckon that there will be loads more visibility and that is merely two location all whilst the USA has over 135,000 malls. So what are they doing? Well, optionally Google seemingly has your back and even outside the malls and places, there can be added visibility. That market is about to fuel itself to a much larger degree.

So whilst some will put this idea down (some always do) consider that as I see it, no one had this idea as no one moved in this direction and now there is an option for visibility that does not rely on taking notes. It is all downloaded to your mobile at the press of a button and streamed to your smartwatch so you can see where you have to walk to. And is there an exception? Yes, the Formula is making such a ruckus you can hear it in every part of Monaco, but that might be the only event in that monarchy that doesn’t need the advertisement. 

Have a great day all.

Out of the blue

So, I was attending a setting where I was dependent on customer support. I am being intentionally vague here, because the youthful young sprout side nothing wrong. She was just young (about my age millennia ago), but before you start judging her, and she did nothing wrong. I got to think “What if we had customer support settings on a DML level?” Consider this (overly exaggerated example) 

Tech help: Good morning, how can I assist you?
Customer: My house is on fire
Tech help: Please take a moment to assess how we can help, how can we assist?
Customer: It’s freakin hot, my house is on fire

As you might expect, this will not go anywhere useful soon. And you might think that this is an exaggeration, but when you are assisting a customer and he cannot get to his data, his life figuratively ends. So we need to get tech hardware to assist us. So what if we had a voice measuring setting? Not to interpret (even thought this might help too), a setting where the voice can be measured for stress levels. The technology exist, but consider that this might be overly expensive. How can this technology be made cheaper? Now consider a DML engine that parses the stress level and considers alternative responses so instead of “How can we asses you problem”, state “let us assist you too get your data to you”, but the system gives the tech help options, and the setting gives the 4-5 responses in colour. Red would be ‘Don’t do that’, but others might become options, Orange, Yellow and Green would be available. There will be moments when the Orange is the only one that makes sense, but Green would optionally be the best. And the learning setting that a DML/LLM support system has is that it can keep track of the answers and how it affected the customer. You see, I have been in tech support for decades and there are a few handles you can apply, but the scripted answer is never a great option (I never showed that to my bosses), they had too tender an ego to risk it. 

So when this system would be deployed, optionally with bells and whistles like zendesk, but most of these products are about recording data, not a setting that actively supports the Helpdesk to record and adjust scripts for aiding the tech support. And even if all these AI systems are fake AI, the data for customer service, customer care and technical support exists, there is plenty of it. So these systems are fake AI, but it is based on DML/LLM systems and they could bring a much larger change in this field. And as I see it, change will be required soon enough. The old guard of these systems are retiring and the new generation mostly lack experience. So why not let the DML/LLM system tweak the system? 

These were just a few settings I was looking at and at present I have no idea what there is, so I ned to look into this, because I might have developed an idea here, but perhaps so did someone else and I need to look into this to see what there is. So it is a little out of the blue, but I have been involved with customer care and technical support for decades, so I might has an idea or two to help this along. So, I need to mull over a few things and as I had nothing to offer DARPA (they are all in drone mode) I need to find a new hobby in the non-drone setting. Although destroying the Iranian railway systems are done based (as was my handle to destroy their refineries). And as DARPA is in delusional mode (as I personally see this) to get a drone carry twice the weight of the drone, is simply ridiculous. The Cessna 408 SkyCourier couldn’t do it, the ATR 72-600F couldn’t do it and the BAE 146-200QT couldn’t do this, and they have people in place who tried that for a life time, so why push the cogs of a civilian setting? I felt pretty proud that I as a non-expert in drones found a way to destroy Iranian railway lines and refineries. But I do believe that DARPA is taking this to a delusional stage. 

Still for now lets see what we can do to improve customer carer lives and reduce the stress they are confronted with. A much more rewarding result. Don’t you think so?

Have a great day.

The thing about DML

Yes, as I said it several times DML is good, DML is strong and I would hazard a guess that with LLM it becomes a new world altogether. So, yesterday at Google I was given a challenge and I basically set up the the entire station in less than 15 minutes. But it was a group event and I was voted out and like a good geriatric boy I adhered to that setting. There was no regrets because Pradhan who won by one vote was pretty amazing. He programmed the entire setting in three hours and then we ran out of tokens and at Google subway tokens have no value, not even the New York tokens. He programmed it all in CLI and it was pretty stellar what he did. So here I am with my idea and I came to the conclusion that I could add a few settings and add it to my blog. So there are no bad feelings (he was pretty awesome programming it in CLI) and as we all adhered to the group setting, someone had to lose (that would be me) and my idea, which took a mere 15 minutes was ‘scrapped’ only to find some survivability in my own blog.

The setting was to create a setting making the Google earbuds more in any way possible. So here I was and in the first minute my mind when “Hold on, I could do…” and it was off to the races at that point. So I ‘created’ an App (attached at the end) where there are two settings. There are websites and news channels and they only thing it does is give the user an alert through their earbuds. So, I was thinking:

  • new content on my blog (which I all write myself)
  • Added content on Amazon, or added stock of a particular item on Amazon
  • Added messages on a specific website like a message 
  • Added content on IGN Board for a specific game

Then there are the news channels:

  • New materials on Arab News on ‘Egypt’
  • New materials on Al Jazeera on ‘Hajj 2026’
  • New materials on CNN on ‘Trump’
  • New materials on Reuters on ‘Jamie Dimon’

That last one was added as I saw a new apartment yesterday (which was outside of my price range) and the first thing you see when you get out of bed is ‘J.P. Morgan’ so there is that psychological slap in the face, but some might not think it is a bd idea, especially as the Sydney office is pretty nice to see.

And the DML/LLM setting is simple. It took less than an hour and the drag/drop stage is on page 5. It worked all nicely, a few kinks, but this is new terrain, so I am allowed to take my time. The app was more easily designed and I can to the conclusion that one tab needed to be added. You see the tab for Websites with 4 options, but I reckon that close to a dozen are needed. And the news channels the same, but I am still on the fence whether it should be one or two dozen options. The feed tab was missing at that time, so as each target sounds its primary/secondary or tertiary alert, you can decide to stop and see what happens, or you can do so at the next moment you sit down somewhere and as you don’t have to go seeking on the stages that you considered adding alerts, you go into the app and see the last alerts that the app gave shaded red for the primary alert, shaded yellow for the secondary alert and green for the tertiary. It comes from the stage where we have ‘essential to know’, ’need to know’ and ‘nice to know’ and as you click on that alert it takes you to the page that is linked to that. No seeking required and I thought that Google could freely hand that to its customers. Making the mission statement “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful” a direct setting for all users of the Google Pixel whatever version and using the Google earbuds. I think I did rather well in less than an hour and now we see that the adaptation of a DML situation on the world stage (still not calling it AI) becomes the birth of a new app glorifying the equipment of that company with the Big Gee (a BeeGees reference). And as you see, I can make fun of myself as well (favourite subject)  but when you wonder why people are failing their AI it is said that “Artificial Intelligence (AI) failures are instances where AI systems produce biased, harmful, absurd, or catastrophic results due to data issues, incorrect training, or flawed logic. Recent real-world breakdowns highlight the need for continuous human oversight, data governance, and cautious deployment.” So, as I see it, I circumvented that part of failure and gave everyone a tool that could be useful for all who don’t want to surf their mobiles and this app gives the user that result whilst that person is listening to music and seemingly running for their lives to their next heart attack (aka jogging). So you all have a nice day and I will hopefully consider another solution in the next 900 minutes.

That’s an option

There I was seeing something that I had not seen before. There was a lawn and someone had a miniature tractor with two side wings. They were lawnmower blades with collectors. Now, this is not new, I merely had not seen this before. So I looked online and there were several automated lawnmowers and that is cool. But they will most likely all have their own software too and that is when my nogging (my skull with inserted grey matter) was considering that Google might have a vested interest to offer a generic version of this for all kinds of devices. One for the rooms cleaning, one for the lawns and one for the pools and all the same software and all keeping track of statistics overviews and schedules which are given to the household app. So, there is optionally whatever the device themselves have (like Husqvarna) but an overlapping software solution that keeps track of all smart devices in the household. No mater how you splice it, there will be new devices, more devices and there will be a Google solution keeping track of it, for your household. Optionally keeping track of your power consumptions as well. So as I see it, there will be a market for that soon enough and probably there is one now,  It comes from two directions. The first is the consumer that needs to be aware of more and more, the second is the entrepreneur who is creating the mini-tractor and optionally some star wars version of these devices and they lack the knowledge of creating that software, but Google has their back and now one solution will enable a lot of tinkerers to create a solution that households will find palatable. Google has always had the mission statement “To organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” So, as I see it, this solution fits right into their pathway and the pathway of consumers.

Both settings covered and there is a larger need as the need of the consumer rises, because we might merely see the need of the cleaning drone, but drones are unmistakably increasing its imprint on the household and from there, there needs to be a single source for combining and reporting all there is in one application with power and costings set out. As I see it, there currently is not. And it will only take one step from governmental oversight and those 4 devices become the headache of the household, Google could fix this in several ways making it a solution for the entire household, with optional logging on online orders (example: automated fridge) and lifespan of the batteries of these devices. A one stop solution for the household.

So, that is my solution, which I created before I made a new solution for Google earbuds, its all in a days work.

Have a great day.
