Contemplating extremity

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

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

Have a great day today,

Off topic

There was an advertisement I saw (I think it was in LinkedIn) and it grabbed me to some extent. It was an advertisement to get a job at Claude walking of kids shows. It was an idea that has merit and more over, the implications. Could be a lot further than a kid show (but you have to start somewhere) Now I have said over and over aging that ll AI is fake. But most of these graphical fake AI are working on the premise of DML (Deeper Machine Learning) and at times in conjunction with LLM (Large Language Models) it does not make it AI (or even Fake AI) but it becomes a tool with applications and a growing setting of traction. I softly spoke of it in ‘Fat of the meat’ two days ago (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/11/02/fat-of-the-meat/) moreover, I thought it might give my scripts a new life as such it goes beyond kids shows. And the application could go towards Saudi Arabia and the UAE as these productions could be made in local languages. Or with subtitles. Another setting that could spell life for some scripts. At present I have two ready and the working setting to two more. As such I would contemplate this (if it could work on a MAC) a whole range of traction that Claude could gain. They seem to be heading in that direction anyway and when these scripts are absent of a lot of production costs, the setting increases, because when a production has a lack of overhead, there are a lot more people easily swayed to give it a chance. I am not hijacking away actors, not special effects as they script was at first rejected. But I also see that there are thousands of rejected scripts. Some might be actually good and now a new terrain (optionally with Oscars) is created. As such, why am I (likely the only one) considering this? Perhaps the makers of Claude are already on that page, they merely lack the settings to make it work.

As I see it, it is also a setting that takes Hollywood away from that equation, and as such studios in Canada, the EU, the Commonwealth and the Arabian peninsula could seek such a solution. There is a field and it is (as far as I can tell) rejected in favor of short term ideas. The idea is however a field that has a larger implementation in TV, Shows and all kinds of directions, from Music Clips and short term videos. All directions that could benefit from those direction. And that is even before we get to the adult entertainment, because there are options there too. All directions that could bring a possibility of revenue, and isn’t that the golden standard in any business? And from there we get the added benefit that it could be remade in any other language almost instantly. And make no mistake, I am talking into my own directions. Because some might ‘worry’ of a script that scares the Jiminy Cricket out of Anne Keast-Butler (GCHQ), John Ratcliffe (CIA) and General Joshua M. Rudd (NSA) but these ‘actors’ are in the clear when they are made with Claude. It opens up a whole range of ideas and ‘shortcuts’ And there is a benefit. As the library of locations are added, the end cost goes down and we could get the three ‘leaders’ digitized and change some facial features that they do not look alike (whilst everyone knows who we are talking about) and as far as I can tell there is a lot more surfacing soon enough. There was my script on ‘How to assassinate a politician’ it has the secondary title ‘Essay’ which played in Dammam (Saudi Arabia), Amsterdam and the Hague (Netherlands) now consider these costs of that series and if Claude could manage it ‘lifelike’ enough, how much costs will it be then? And that is how new studios are created in new ways, because several corporations just dumped thousands of IT people, all ready to learn new skills. Then there is ‘Information Overload’, a simple attempt to give the ‘rulers’ of the CIA, NSA, GCHQ and the DGSE a new for of nightmare (you can’t blame me for that) but that gives us two stories that have merit towards that setting and I reckon that Hollywood have thousands of scripts that never saw the daylight, but now there is a new revenue stream and as too many people respect money above ethics, I think that we have a new playing field and those who enter first have the best chance to make a decent penny (read: Dollar, Pound, or Euro) I reckon that there is a lot of Swedish appeal to make a new Pippi Longstocking, in Swedish no less and if that appeals several other languages would come forward.

So think of this as Off Topic, because the midterms in the USA are too boring, not for the Democrats, but this was the only outcome that would have made sense and for now they will need over a decade to clean up the mess that was left behind and they are doing it without allies, that part was taken care of by the present administration. So, I look at other ways to set revenue towards nicer shores and this administration of the United States that any shore is nicer than the shores of the United States and as I see it, there are options for Canadian movie makers as well.

So have a great day and consider where you might find another path to revenue.

Visions

We all have them, they could be mirages of our imagination, they could be subconscious ramification of facts we were exposed to, whatever the reason. Whatever the reason, it tends to be a decent reason to take heed. So first I see all kinds of news that the AI bubble has burst in China. I was unaware that they had put such a massive amount in that, but whatever. Hours later I see a splash of newscasts from all over the western world that something here is shaking too. First off there was the ‘fact’ that the fortune of Larry Ellison had dipped by $11 billion (its not a lot when you say that fast) then I see Bloomberg giving us ‘Oracle Is Near $10 Billion Share Sale at 11% Discount’, which sounds nice, if you are into those kind of things. Then about 5 hours later I see ‘Oracle, along with Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon, has disclosed a combined $3.3 trillion in future spending commitments.’ And suddenly the picture changes. As I personally see it, the bubble is bursting now here too and these 5 big spenders are ‘combining’ their spending (to each other) to make the bubble not happen. It is like a game of High Stakes Pot Limit Omaha (PLO) game of poker. I am not too knowledgeable on poker in general (except Aces High, not the Iron Maiden song) and we get a setting because PLO uses four hole cards (and you must use exactly two from your hand and three from the board), equity distributions run much closer together. Favored hands frequently sit at 60% to 65% pre-flop rather than dominant 80%+ leads and then one card in the middle is the Joker ‘AI’ so they are all out to get a setting of that with this poker setting that they each want to get the winning hand, but as I said it, all AI is fictive for close to 15 years, too now wonder what they are doing. Because these 5 (with Nvidia as and optional sixth) are all out in the open showing what bluffers they are and whilst we are looking we might see the common denominator in this. And the setting is ‘in future spending commitments’ because off this bubble bursts they will not be able to spend anything, the 3 trillion that they were ‘planning’ to spend will be gone with a massive amount of trillions that were always in the pot through all kind of means and suddenly no one needs the thousand or so data centres. So let that sink in.

And they are all facing more. In the first we see Meta with ‘Meta’s $25B fine left out accountability for the Cambridge Analytica data privacy scandal’ also one that I am partially on the side with Meta on that. It was ‘‘What I eat in a day’ videos landed Amelia in hospital. Now they are landing Meta in court’, so can anyone tell me how this falls on the head of Meta? (It’s a locked article) but it comes down that in the Covid era she (and others) started to share their eating habits. So, how is that Meta’s problem? Did Meta film her, or did she do that herself and was it to anyone with a medical degree or to a bunch of other near-teen people, all wanting to outdo each other on social media? This last one is not on the AI pile, but these settings tend to overlap legally and these parties are all out to get the most from their targets. (Its a legal setting) where the parties want to emulate their victim setting emulating through Donoghue v Stevenson [1932] UKHL 100 (26 May 1932), which is a famous torts case. And they all face these secondary measurements (likely Microsoft more than others) but they are all hindered down because of it. You see Microsoft is (apparently) valued at 3.77 trillion. All whilst one source gives us ‘Why is Microsoft raising $25 billion in debt when it already has $76.8 billion in cash?’ Sounds reasonable, until you see the expected debt off the books and into parties that will take the hit. It almost sounds like Party X in the late 1895 get a ‘friend’ to invest in Whaling oil, there is one big haul to get. And that friend agrees, but the dangers aware to Party X were never disclosed. Because it was June 1896 “Sperm oil prices dropped from a peak of $1.77 per gallon in 1856 to 40 cents by 1896, failing to compete with refined petroleum” and his friend now faces a decline of 78%, it was too late for him and friend X kept his head up because of all the losses he faces, well his bank did, but he scored a nice retirement. We are entering this last game of AI now. People are aware there isn such think like AI and it is merely predictive analytics, a more advanced form of it, but it is still massively dependent on data and there is the shoe that just doesn’t fit. The data is the problem mostly because of an absence of validation and verification. Also I reckon that these validation settings (whatever there is) is pushed thought several parties and they all have their own validation metrics. So there are numerous problems that many are ignoring and I saw that first hand but they are all shouting AI together and ruling up the audience. So when we go to that person who claims that those ‘believing’ that’s only idiots believe in the AI bubble are like founder Masayoshi Son and SoftBank have pivoted heavily toward artificial intelligence. They will take a massive hit soon enough, although they are also in robotics, chip design which might make it thought, but the heavy capital allocation into OpenAI might not do so well. But take the word of Masayoshi Son over me a nobody. And invest right ahead and don’t mind the shark swimming underseas, because they nibble. And it is fair to question my word who reacts to the headlines and events that the media is giving us, but ask yourself. What real reasons was there to ‘Oracle, along with Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon, has disclosed a combined $3.3 trillion in future spending commitments’? And how is that split up? And also where is that going? You see, the first headlines with the $100 billion mentions are optionally inspiring, but now we see “As of May 2026, there had been no further progress on the project beyond the letter of intent, with Argentina’s Economy Ministry stating that they had not received a formal application for their large venture incentive scheme.” (Source: Buenos Aires Times) so what else is in the and at present, because we were given “OpenAI and Sur Energy signed a letter of intent to explore the development of an AI data center in Argentina’s Patagonia, named Stargate Argentina. This project, the first Stargate site in Latin America, would represent an estimated investment of up to $25 billion and have a capacity of up to 500 megawatts” and as I see it, at present Argentine has about Argentina has an installed electricity generation capacity of about 44.2 GW, is that where the 500MW is coming from, and if so, why was an additional $25 billion required? Wherever you look it leads to more questions and in this game of PLO is it the intent that everyone looks at the cards, not the noise and why that noise does not seem to make sense and it is all due to secondary noise, not part of any of this, but these companies are too large to ignore this. So who is making a tally, because as I see it, none of them have the cajones to put up their own market value to this, why is that? So don’t become the patsy nesting in whaling oil when it is too late or perhaps too soon is also available, in 1820 was massively riddled with dangers. So whatever you do, ask questions and read up, because at present the entire (fake) AI setting is riddled with dangers and no one is looking beyond the headlines and into the data it is supposed to deliver.

Have a great day.

Fat of the meat

That is at times the setting. We want the fatty meat, not me, I never particularly liked fatty meat. But there is one hitch, the Kobe beef, wagyu meat might be the exception. And many other (non-vegetarians) share my view. Only last Saturday a woman asked what I prefer to eat, I answered vegetarians and she got upset with me. Why? Aren’t Cows, Sheep and Lambs vegetarians? So, whatever and I went on my merry way. Consuming a few Guinness (which I had not had for at least 3-4 years) and too thereafter (after my third Guinness) I sat in a corner letting the waves of Guinness tranquility wash over me whilst I checked out the Halloween costumes. A lovely night even if I say so myself. And at this point I am a little resentful of the CBC who gives us the article ‘Roles for trans and non-binary characters are vanishing, actors and experts warn’ (at https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/trans-nonbinary-roles-vanishing-9.7402084) and just for the picture as a non media executive. Lets get to the beef of the matter. It starts with a script. That person tends to write in his or her comfort zone. The one exclusion might be Andy Weir, who wrote a few excellent books and likely was involved with that movie concerning an illegal alien (Matt Damon) and a lonely astronaut trying to save the universe. (Project Hail Mary) and I have no idea what Ken know about saving the universe and neither does Andy Weir (an assumption from my side) but here is the start. If the writer is not in his comfort zone, issues rise or projects are cancelled. So if you think that roles for trans and non-binary characters are vanishing, do something about it. You still need to get it past a movie or media executive, but that is the first step. I won’t rite about them, because I am neither, nor do I really know one person and the last time I checked John Ratcliffe wasn’t wearing a tutu on a regular basis, so the intelligence scripts are lacking in that setting too. And here comes the ‘crunch’ “But without mainstream backing, they won’t be able to reach as many eyes.” And these eyes do not see these movies as coin making movies, change that side and you gain instant support all over the place. The media has become a greed driven behemoth and other series that are in the mainstream get rejected just as easily.

So these complaining parties can start by writing a script and as I see it, Claude is making effort to view the movie industry and even as these are (for now) merely kids shows. This engine could be a great solution to get these movies out there. Even I contemplated to write my own scripts (that part is done) but enabling them for Claude might take a little more. So why aren’t these ‘experts’ on that horse? Why aren’t actors and actresses looking to Claude as a defining method of getting the message out? What will you do then? Claim people are refusing to see them? People like all kinds of movies (in all honesty I prefer my Olivia Wilde extremely under clothed, although as the ‘raven’ in Tron, she was beyond breathtaking)

And I just gave these people three hints, it is for them to pick them up. You can complain, or you can look to a venue that gives you to optional win, but as I see it, people just prefer complaining.

Have a great day and consider the Halloween outfit that could suit your needs.

Just one day until midterms, lets see how desperate people in the United States were for their $5000. Have fun.

Aging

We all feel it and I felt it today in a massive way (with assistance from IKEA) it is not that I don’t get it, I get it just fine, but I face the aging of my body, it is getting to 70 years old now and varying three piece es of furniture to my trolley implied tossing 6 boxes on that trolley and each and every try one was throwing out my back (and then some). Still, the IKEA staff members were excellent in handing me support and assistance. I reckon that they were thinking “What the hell is he doing carrying 240KG in boxes?” A thought that should have occurred to me quiet plainly. And the next day (whilst I was eagerly destroying my knees) I occurred to me that there is a second setting of bias, bias of my own abilities. So when we (now) look at bias (like Rina Diane Caballar) we see “Humans are innately biased and the AI that we develop can reflect our biases. These systems inadvertently learn biases that might be present in the training data and exhibited in the machine learning (ML) algorithms and deep learning models that underpin AI development. Those learned biases might be perpetuated during the deployment of AI, resulting in skewed outcomes.”Humans are innately biased and the AI that we develop can reflect our biases. These systems inadvertently learn biases that might be present in the training data and exhibited in the machine learning (ML) algorithms and deep learning models that underpin AI development. Those learned biases might be perpetuated during the deployment of AI, resulting in skewed outcomes.” It occurred to me that bis and validating requires a timestamp of this validation, because out via of the outcome is becoming the bias of the equation.

So when we see “Skewed Outcomes: Machine learning models are trained on large human-generated datasets that often reflect real-world prejudices, leading to biased decisions in hiring, healthcare, and policing” which is what IBM is handing us, but the hiring manager is trying to do what a hiring manager is trying to do, rolling with the punches of time, but his ‘assistance wizard’ is not doing this and it becomes a grey/black issue for the machine, whilst the hiring manager is looking for that white resume. So whilst everyone is ‘bottoming his/her resume’ quality is falling in between the cracks of unemployable ad the traps they have.

We then get “Algorithmic Opacity: Deep learning models function as “black boxes,” making it difficult to trace how or why a specific discriminatory choice was made.” Which we get from the Office of the Victorian Information Commissioner. And whilst these models are not to verbal on how decisions are made there is every chance that this will instill a brain-drain. You see, some others can see that some degrees sound impressive but they are useless (in the beginning) so whilst some will drag this out by handing their tech support to philosophy graduates. The hiring manager is confronting a new workforce where sone stay quiet, so will revert to the caveman analogy and we can go on a few turns on that, all whilst the hiring manager requires a programmer who correctly addresses the Machine Learning modules and start preparing for dozens of exceptions and exclusions, whilst the essential inclusions are largely overlooked (actually they are merely overlooked until it is too late to do something about that). And it becomes worse because the Office of the Victorian Information Commissioner will try to explain the wrongful act of Discriminatory choices, making transparency even less likely.

And then IBM gives us a gem (a diamond in the rough if you prefer) “And while organizations are taking advantage of technological advancements such as generative AI, only 24% of gen AI initiatives are secured. This lack of security threatens to expose data and AI models to breaches, the global average cost of which is a whopping USD 4.88 million in 2024.” Does anyone realise that in hiring the lowest assistance can secure over 60% whilst the Gen AI is getting only 24% and that is before some could have thought of “Search for security gaps in AI environments through risk assessment and threat modeling.”, “Assess model vulnerabilities by using adversarial testing.” As well as “Invest in cyber response training to level up awareness, preparedness and security in your organization.” So whilst some might do some of these things, the investment of millions merely hands them an optional rise from 24% to 45% securing investments and whilst corporations are looking towards ‘Microsoft data centres swing to $326m profit amid investment spree’ all whilst they all listen to Satya Nadella talking up a storm, we see “Accounts filed with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission show the company increased revenue 33 per cent to $3 billion, and paid $165 million in income tax for the year” (source: Financial Review) and no one is looking for ACTUAL success stories. I saw one success story, it was BMW with “Cut vehicle production line downtime by 25% while boosting quality inspection accuracy to 92%” but was that actual AI in use, or was that machine language optimizing machines? We see all kinds of numbers thrown at us, but whilst we see ‘dodgy’ accounting in effect like “Microsoft has not laid off 60,000 workers; instead, in late October 2026, the company announced a Voluntary Exit Offer (VEO)—a buyout program—offered to about 60,000 employees (roughly 27% of its global workforce of over 220,000 people” So where are they going to go. And I am still of the mind, when the world wakes up to the flim flam AI artistry, we will see managers falling over themselves to rehire whatever they can and their opposition is doing the same and likely succeed where the VEO offers fails. Because when we see that machines cannot do it all, when the clarity that there needs to be a person who activates the verifying module and when these big wigs come back with the setting our AI does that, and whomever gets a day of looking into that, will see a tsunami of harm coming all their ways. But I have learned that managers who get rid of the people who gets them into hot waters, there is the opportunity for the adversary of that firm, but what am I saying, Microsoft and Amazon doesn’t have any adversaries, do they?

So what does any of this to do with aging? Well, there are a few settings “Data aging is the process of moving old, low-relevance, or historical data away from active, high-performance storage or memory into secondary or historical storage areas” (source: SAP) as well as “It moves inactive or closed records (such as old financial transactions) from hot in-memory storage to cold disk partitions within the same database. This reduces the main memory footprint and speeds up queries for active day-to-day data, while keeping historical data accessible via specific SQL range restrictions (WITH RANGE RESTRICTION).” The question becomes have these training modules kept up with these aging routines? Because that element is often not in exported data, as such the validity of the data as well as its verifying functions are failing. So whilst we are considering “such as old financial transactions”, so how are these records of Gerald Payne, World Plus and a few others are seen by these ‘machines’ and whilst we are aware that there is a link between these settings, the setting of ‘with age restrictions’ might not be used everywhere as such the amount of credible data is failing (harshly) and I am merely stating obvious cases, but these poi scheme settings are still being used and some are ‘confidential’ because they are being investigated and syphoning out these dealers gives them a case for suing for discrimination. Because in the United States (as far as I know) “Under federal law (Title VII of the Civil Rights Act), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) states that blanket bans on hiring anyone with a criminal record can be discriminatory.” So these people merely need to prod the fake AI system to see where they are ‘disregarded’ and start a case against these discriminatory parties. I reckon that this will be a class action case for 2027. Don’t take my word for it, just watch the news, it will happen. I feel decently certain of that.

So there am I (still aging) taking up my fight with the white Fågelfjället, I will not be defeated by my age or that massive amount of wood (even if it kills me).

Finally

So Arab News gives us hours ago (at https://www.arabnews.com/saudi-arabia/houthi-attacks-on-saudi-airports-raise-question-of-war-crimes-un-rights-chief-tells-arab-news-3008749) Houthi terrorists have been going this path for a while now, as such the question is a little late, but so be it. We are given ‘Houthi attacks on Saudi airports raise question of war crimes, UN rights chief tells Arab News’ I think this question of war crimes was a long time coming. So as we see “Attacks by the Yemen-based Houthis on airports and other civilian infrastructure in Saudi Arabia raise the question of possible war crimes, the UN’s top human rights official told Arab News, as he also condemned the detention of dozens of UN staff in Yemen by the Iran-backed militia.” Is his real goal the Saudi issue, or is it “he also condemned the detention of dozens of UN staff in Yemen by the Iran-backed militia”? You tell me. I feel certain that there were attacks by Houthi terrorists into Saudi Arabia, but that news seems to be suppressed. And as Volker Turk gives us “Turk said he was “very worried about the escalation that we see,” and once again highlighted the 71 UN workers currently detained by the Houthis, eight of them from his own office. Some have been held for years. “It’s totally unacceptable,” he said, describing the detentions as “the most flagrant violation” of the privileges and immunities afforded to UN staff.” As I see the setting that 71 UN workers, some for years have been held. It seems to me that the condemnation of Houthi terrorists comes a little late, as such I wonder what drive him out to the front today, because as I see it, this is not the real setting (for him), but I have been wrong before. So whilst we are given “Maj. Gen. Turki Al-Maliki, a spokesperson for the international Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen, said on Oct. 15 that King Khalid International alone had been targeted 20 times since the start of the month. The attacks have continued since then, and the coalition said on Wednesday it intercepted a Houthi ballistic missile fired toward the city of Taif.” So there were 20 attacks for the last two weeks? And now the UN makes hay out of this? I reckon that most of the world is no longer holding the UN as a serious matter and this is how they are setting up a ‘united front’ it is too bad that King Khalid International airport had to endure 20 attacks in the last two weeks. But that might be the bitter pill that the UN is serving up, whilst Google search is living us with blanks. Because there I find “This attack follows an escalating series of Houthi missile and drone strikes targeting major regional airports throughout October 2026, including King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and airports in Abha and Dammam. A major October 10 strike on Riyadh’s airport resulted in multiple casualties and temporary international flight suspensions” I am not blaming Google, but if this is what I find, who is suppressing the news? The media itself? Just a question to consider today. Have a good one.

Out of moves

That was the first thing I thought when I saw the BBC article (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckpdg4pl7pgvo) with there title ‘Police using AI risks making discrimination worse, researchers warn’, the article itself was three days old, but I have had a few things on my plate, it is not the greatest excuse, but it happens to be the truth. We are given “The growing use of AI in policing risks increasing discrimination against minority groups, researchers have warned. Studies suggest that predictions of future crime hotspots may be based on biased data, which can magnify existing prejudice and create a dangerous feedback loop.” I couldn’t have said it better myself and but it is also based on settings that are more true than anything the truth could bring, because (as I have said over and over again) AI does not (yet) exist. It is mere predictive analytics and that requires data moreover it requires validated and verified data, the outcome in any different setting is what we call the GIGO law (Garbage In, Garbage Out) and that pretty much spells inaccuracy, bias and outright discrimination. And we are given “This would involve checking the data that forces use to find and remove any bias, according to Dr Carolyn McKay, an associate professor and researcher in digital justice at the University of Sydney Law School.

“The public functions of state policing ought to be subject to human oversight and scrutiny,” she says.” This could be the start, but until the data is thoroughly scrutinized the outcome of these predictive models are at best debatable and in the worst case a mere blanket of discrimination, although the policing parties will cover this with ‘Mister X’ looked at the data and we believe it is accurate and when the first case comes where we validly can deny the truth of it, the class actions will come calling. Leave it to any lawyer to see the business end of wrongful convictions and as I see it, that is the only path that will be seen as merit. The article gives it in a different shape, but it is the same outcome, here we see “The problem, according to McKay, is that AI systems are trained on data that already contains human bias, and this can lead to self-fulfilling prophecies. Think of AI as a map-maker asked to draw a map of a city they have never visited. They are locked in a windowless room and can’t go outside. All they have are maps that are 50 years old.” Take one mere consideration “London police corruption in the 1980s was defined by deep-seated internal networks, ties to organized crime, and systemic cover-ups within the Metropolitan Police and City of London Police” and anything connected data that is used is mere gap fillers for a bias and discrimination in London alone. Now we get back to the village of Sydney (the one in NSW, Australia) where we see “Police corruption in Sydney during the 1980s was a systemic and deeply entrenched feature of the New South Wales (NSW) Police Force, particularly within vice, drug, and detective squads in areas like Kings Cross” now these two villages were not sanitized over a day (or even in years) that means that any documentation is tainted with ‘accidental’ inaccuracies and this goes on for close to two decades. Consider that tainted data to be the beginning of predictive analytics and you have yourself a massive amount of class actions and personally hit people demanding representation and even if there is human oversight. How can that person rely on any data he/she sees?

And I am merely pushing two obvious places in the foreground. Take a harbor town like Rotterdam (Netherlands) or even Antwerp (Belgium) or Paris (France) and these are harbour cities, as such there are many parties who ‘disregarded’ and ‘adjusted’ reports and data, the entire setting is drenched in ‘obliging’ failure. But not to worry, the legal system will proceed and defend the damaged parties and their bills will not be cheap (they need a cushy life too) and this setting (as I speculatively see it) will give these lawyers thousands of hours and these players go for roughly $750 an hour, now take that times 50,000? Is anyone seeing the outcome of that failure?

And that is before you see the outcome of class actions that might reach an easy billion in punitive damages. And I have been making sure that the settings of validation and verification was clearly mentioned in most of my ‘fake AI’ articles. And whilst we consider that and in TechCrunch via a writer called Anthony Ha (in LinkedIn), we see ‘AI delivers ‘zero financial payoff’ to most companies, Apollo economist says’ where we see “AI hasn’t benefited the bottom line of any big corporations outside the tech industry, according to a note recently published by the chief economist at Apollo Global Management (the private equity giant that used to own TechCrunch). Apollo’s Torsten Slok focuses on what he calls the S&P 493 — the S&P 500, minus Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla — finding that profit margins and revenue per worker appear to be flat, with no evidence that AI is improving productivity.

“Despite massive investments and widespread hype around artificial intelligence, the technology has delivered zero financial payoff to corporate America outside of tech,” Slok said.” Now take that equation to what some call a failing police force with tools that make things harder, less reliable and legally expensive. That is the setting these police forces are seeing. So whilst ‘some’ made statements, the one that reverberated in my mind was “Masayoshi Son, the chairman and CEO of SoftBank Group, has been the primary SoftBank executive speaking out about the AI bubble. He asserted that global AI infrastructure will require roughly $5 trillion annually and argued that AI will eventually transform the economy to generate massive profits.” The fun part for me was $5 trillion annually and ‘AI will eventually transform the economy to generate massive profits’ but as I see it, AI is 15 years away (at the very least), so who is paying for the $75 trillion? And what profits will be gotten? And the issues of data validity and data verification will not go away and they better start today if they want their boat comes in in 15 years, because unverified and unvalidated data is still junk data. (Punters might call that CCC data) so it is worth less than nothing. So how exactly are profits coming in? Because as I see it, the police will be using that same junk data and the money is gone and no one knows where to find it and to give you an example Reuters gives us “STAR50 Index Collapse: China’s main AI and semiconductor stock index, the STAR50, plunged by 40% in under four months, erasing about $480 billion in market value.” As I see it, hardware is the first to fall and the mentions of “Western markets have experienced milder pullbacks—such as a roughly 6% drawdown on the Nasdaq—as major tech firms and chip giants continue to draw heavy capital inflows and massive infrastructure spending” is as I believe it to be false creations. They merely hide it better and the 5 large investors are covering each other and investing in each other, so when that bubble burst (I personally believe it is already bursting) they make claims of tax write offs and pay no tax for a few years (a speculated view by me).

So in this atmosphere you want the police to use fake AI whilst it is predictive analytics and I am not against predictive analytics, it is a good tool if the data is reliable and that is in too many cases seemingly not the event we are hoping for.

So you tell me, where is my thinking wrong? I worked in data analytics since 1992. I saw the rise of predictive analytics, but the people never trusted this, so someone came and called is AI, but it is not AI, not even close. And no one is thoroughly investigating data validation and data verification, because these two settings is where it all goes wrong, horribly wrong.

So you all have a great day and don’t let my words make it sound gloomy, the news won’t tell you this, but that is them. They are now all about the digital dollars. And the start of this article was given to you by young British science writer Adrian Dredge wrote about the potential pitfalls of AI and policing. The essay won the 2026 Young Science Writer Award, chosen each year by the Association of British Science Writers. A man I do not know, but he was awarded the honour by people who know things, so that is seemingly good enough for me.

And the stupid award goes to

That was the setting that I considered when the BBC gave us (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ck4g1jg4n9dno) ‘Are California voters about to impose ‘world’s first’ tax on billionaires?’ You see, it is discriminatory to say the least and for that matter, going on from 2014, with this example from 2017 (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2017/11/07/consideration-in-3-parts/) ‘Consideration in 3 parts’, even then I was talking about “The Guardian gives us more and more mentions of ‘Tax Avoidance’ and as I mentioned a few days ago. It is not illegal, it is perfectly legal. Most papers will hide behind ’emotional’ parts to cry outrage, but in the end they too are not outspoken on pushing to adapt legislation to change this and to push for clear corporate taxation needs, whilst we see that they are all on the second largest data drain set at 1.4TB. So after the Panama Papers, do you think that banks, especially banks of these kinds, banks that rely on such paths to ensure themselves of a good income. Do you think they would hesitate to invest a few millions into hardware that keeps it secure?” A clear and balanced tax system was all that remained and now it becomes even worse. What do you think happens when California loses its handle on the total net worth of California’s billionaires with an estimated at $1.87 trillion to $2.3 trillion, depending on recent market valuations. What happens when that leaves for Bermuda, Monaco and the UAE? California is no longer the haven and heaven it was 30 years ago. That 115 million buys a lot of decent condos in all three of these jurisdictions. So they spend $30M on three apartments with all the luxuries and have the rest for their own needs. California tax system gets ZERO.

And whilst the larger group (lets just say Apple) is still in the clear. Opening all kinds of shops that most people cannot afford and it is all written off against taxes. The question “Is it wise to open a store there” is now offset by “Is it a 100% tax write off” and that is the real problem and I am merely mentioning Apple, but Microsoft and others are in that same boat. The tax system is holding them above water and we see the ridiculous Jeff Bezos settings whilst for over a decade the media made fun of him for not making any money. He thought it through and whilst HIS company grew, he grew and now that he has achieved it, we all (US Taxes) want a piece of that. No, you were stupid then, so you cannot become greedily clever now. You reap what you sow.

So whilst California is sugarcoating this as “Now voters are about to decide whether the mega-rich among them – including media mogul Oprah Winfrey, Meta head Mark Zuckerberg, Skims cofounder and reality television star Kim Kardashian, and filmmaker George Lucas – should hand over billions of dollars to pay for improvements to healthcare.” And of course there is the name George Lucas, the fact that he worked 20 hours a day for decades to bring us the entertainment we got, he created jobs for thousands and more business in several directions. No, he had to be mentioned. All whilst their lawyers will throw a tantrum on unclassified zero hours towards the money they become viable for. So what happens when Zuckerberg sets up a new technology from the UAE or from the EU? Will you complain then? Oh and when the newsreel gives us the new setting from “California’s gross domestic product (GDP) is approximately $4.5 trillion, making it the largest sub-national economy in the United States and the fourth-largest economy in the world—ranking just behind the United States, China, and Germany” towards “California’s gross domestic product (GDP) is approximately $2.1 trillion, ranking just behind the Mexico in 13th position and almost on par with Australia in 14th position” because that reality will turn several investors away from California as well. California isn’t doing too well as we see streets with closed businesses as their landlord is awaiting the next investor to make something from that and that is also a reality for California and that is already happening. As such California has a lot of problems and they catered to corporations for over 11 years and now the bill comes calling because corporations only care about their bottom line. If that was not the case these places would never have opened their new grounds in Abu Dhabi, they go where the customers go and these customers are not seeing California as a haven of vacation until deep into 2040.

That too is a reality the US tax system created (not to mention this US administration), so as I see it good luck and whilst Mexico is surpassing them in GDP, when will we hear the first Californian voices shout “Recuérdennos, amigos?” (Source: Google Translate, I don’t speak Spanish).

This is the setting and I wonder how many Californians will embrace Dubai and Abu Dhabi on 2026/2027) optionally before these tax drives become law.

Have a great day all and “sabah alkhayri, hal yumkinuni alhusul ealaa qahwat min fadlika?” (also Google Translate).

About those marbles

Yup, that is what I saw developing today in Al Jazeera (at https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/10/14/denmark-pushes-back-as-trump-touts-greenland-oil-and-mineral-deals) where we see ‘Denmark pushes back as Trump touts Greenland oil and mineral deals’ and it is here where we see “Recent US-Greenland-Denmark agreement excludes mining or drilling rights while reinforcing Greenland’s sovereignty” as well as “The Danish Foreign Ministry reaffirmed on Wednesday that last month’s agreement between Denmark, Greenland and the US did not alter the rules for extraction. The agreement “does not grant investors from the US any preferential treatment” over investors from other NATO and EU countries when it comes to access to natural resources in Greenland, the ministry said.” Which is fun in some way as I wrote on December 27th 2025 in ‘The most dangerous sin’ where I wrote “It is my firm believe that Pride tends to be in a bully, he/she things that pride is beyond them and they will reject it when they stare in the mirror of self-reflection, Only the prideful will reject the reflection they see there, it makes it the most dangerous of sins as the view of pride is rejected by those who see it, easily rejected by them who claim that the 51st State is a beautiful part of them, the need that Greenland is merely for National security and that they are entitled to the oil of Venezuela as their oil. No other nation could ever make that claim, no other nations has (as far as I know).” As well as “So as I see it, the need of the greedy comes into play just as the American made a move for the wealth of the 51st State (sorry Canada) and its brown oil, its water and several other minerals like oil, natural gas, gold, nickel, diamonds, and hydroelectric power. So did no one figure out the delusional need of the greedy Americans? And as for Greenland they have an abundance of (in snow covered plaines ) of zinc, iron, copper, gold, uranium, and potential oil/gas. It was not a hard puzzle, so what stopped CBC for solving this oversimplified puzzle?“ So now we get Al Jazeera give us “Trump, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen signed the 10-page agreement on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on September 22, ending months of tensions over Trump’s threats to control Greenland.

The deal allows the US to “modernise and expand” its activities at the Pituffik Space Base, a remote US military installation in northwest Greenland. It also paved the way for two new military bases and Trump’s “Golden Dome” missile defence system, while reaffirming Danish sovereignty and Greenlanders’ right to self-determination. It did not allocate any rights for mining or drilling.”

So as CBC now gives us (at https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/trump-says-oil-gas-and-mineral-exploration-in-greenland-is-set-to-begin-it-s-not-that-simple-9.7380023) ‘Trump says oil, gas and mineral exploration in Greenland is set to begin. It’s not that simple’ as we are given there “U.S. President Donald Trump said “massive” oil, gas and mineral exploration is set to begin in “our new and beautiful Greenland” early Wednesday. It wasn’t immediately clear what exploration or developments the U.S. president was referring to in his post, and Greenland is a self-governing territory of Denmark, rather than a part of the United States. Trump posted on his Truth Social platform following a campaign event Tuesday in Wasilla, Alaska, to stump for Republican U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan as he seeks his third term to represent the state in an election against Democratic former U.S. congresswoman Mary Peltola.” And I have to wonder, is the United States now so Insolvent that it has to be ‘immaculately dishonest’ to make claims on agreements it has with other nations? In that case, when will they invade Canada and claim its oil and minerals? Because If I can foresee one event 10 months in advance, there is every chance that I might be correct about that too and as such, will the Commonwealth end up going into a war with the United States? Perhaps King Charles III will take back the lost colonies, the ones that  King George III lost. They might be related, although I never heard of the family III. But what do I know? Well, to be honest, I might know more than the ones running the United States Administration at present, but in this I am merely speculating.

So whilst CBC gives us “It does not grant the U.S. any special exploration rights, but does place some limits on investments by non-NATO countries in strategic sectors”, the first step might have been that if the United States cannot get it, no one else could either and that is a first sign that their game is up, they cannot allow anyone wgetitng ahead of them, but that is a lost game, because the world is uniting as the Commonwealth, the EU and the Gulf States are uniting, optionally inviting China but as I see it the United States and Russia are out and whilst we now get weirder messages from the White House in relation towards the Ukraine, the reliability of the United States is sinking fast in the eyes of the governments of the Commonwealth, the EU and the Gulf states and as such the optional invitation towards China might come soon and that ends the United States in several ways, but it is up to the United States, they elected this administration.

So what are the marbles they are playing for? Have a great day.

End of a fairy tale

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

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

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

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

Just something to consider.

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

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

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

Have a great day
