Predictive Artificiality

It is a combination of words and as the BBC keeps on getting it wrong for all the greedy reasons it is engrossed in, lets recap that setting that they open up with ‘Google staff resign in backlash over its AI contracts with military’ (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cmreyvepnv0po), so they are willing to get in bed with organized crime and hackers (a speculative thought I am entertaining) whilst the military is out of bounds? So as we are given “Google is facing a backlash from some staff members over the company’s deployment of its AI technology for military use.

The BBC has spoken to several tech workers who have either recently resigned from Google’s AI company, Google DeepMind, or are in the process of leaving, over concerns with the tech firm’s military contracts. Sofia Liguori, a London-based research engineer, is one of them. She resigned from Google DeepMind this week and spoke about her concerns exclusively with the BBC, despite her contract restricting her from doing so.”

So lets recap this for the people who have no IT skills and optionally a child with a Nintendo. There is no AI, all AI is fake. There is of course predictive analytics and at present it might be considered Advanced Predictive Analytics, but the difference it that AI and make leaps of faith (according to Alan Turing, not the comedian) and it can do this absent of data. Predictive analytics requires data at all time, in absence of that it becomes Presumption at best and mere speculation at worst. For AI to become real it will the following things.

A quantum computer (we have that)

Shallow circuits (we seemingly have the too, although I reckon it is still in its infancy. IBM had the hard parts figured out in 2017)

A Trinary system and about two decades ago a Dutch physicist created the Epsilon particle, but between that an having a processor/Coprocessor to get it in real life is likely still decades away

So we are not even close to having AI as such I label ALL AI fake. It is not bad will, it merely is and on top of that the validation and verification is far away from all that, as such the ‘guess’ with of these military systems is making it a dangerous setting being anywhere near 25 miles of such a place. As such is this Sofia Liguori really concerned with the setting of these predictive analytics or is she worried about what the client will look for when they are analyzing the logistics of these predictive analytics, because that is merely one step away from what the logic of a fake AI is, towards the analytics of these predictive algorithms. And these defense IT boffins will put two and two together and they will get really different results. That is when they are done with analyzing the verification and validation modules, I found them lacking on several levels last year and I have no faith that they improved anything near a serious level. I tend to blame the lack of a trinary setting. But that requires some explanation. In binary we have Yes/No or True/False. Now in a double setting we get for example the setting of Toronto (Yes/No) and Maple leafs fan (Yes/No) and there would be an abundance of Maple Leafs fans. But that setting is absent of Hockey Fan (Yes/No) and perhaps Recent immigrant from Montreal (Yes/No) win this setting the non-Maple Leafs fans are riddled with inconsistencies for all kind of reasons and whilst you can set the questions right, the model becomes inherently more complex. And this is based on two settings. So to capture it all you will get an exceedingly complex metric of answers. With Trinary it becomes a setting of Yes/No/Both and the equation simplifies. The setting of validation and verification makes it simpler as well, because nuance (to some degree) takes shape. Now in military settings it does not become easier, the setting is more complex and the influence that [BOTH] is rallied towards this and can be counted and as such the tally becomes easier to see that there are additional factors in play, but still the absence of data cannot be countered at present and as such all AI is fake (for now). And the response of ““Realising my company is pushing more and more for AI systems in military operations makes me feel ashamed to work at Google,” Liguori said, speaking in a personal capacity.” Is even more debatable. Because fraud detection is a valid operation for these special forces of the Military Logistics department and they could use the better part of predictive analytics, it is not perfect but they will find optional danger flags really quickly. More work is needed but where 50 people find 12 red flags in a month, One computer will give them 50 red flags in 12 seconds. It doesn’t mean that they are all red flags, but once the setting is checked, it might be an optional misfiled paper, but checkers would have known this and as it stands military logistics could use the help (in nearly every nation) even if it was merely to find 13 billion in misplaced oil revenue. So when we get to “After working for the company for three years, Liguori said she decided to resign over Google’s increasing work with the US and Israeli militaries. “I don’t agree with this direction and this has led me to lose faith in my company being true to its stated ethical values,” she said.” So how did the Israeli military included in that? Was she a supporter of Hamas terrorists? Or merely anti Israeli? I do not know, but the direction of that interview took a wrong turn and the BBC was seemingly OK with that. We see that continuation in “Naza, which examines the role of AI-powered targeting systems to bombard the Gaza Strip, resulting in high civilian casualties. An Israeli government minister has said the claims presented in the film were false and distorted.” So what were these AI-powered targeting systems? Who made them and what are they called? It seems that the BBC has a lot of explaining to do, not merely on this part and to include Google in this is (as I see it) mere fabrication from a delusional mind and I hope that the people will take my explanation for these settings in a proper light, so that they can see that these AI systems are merely fake and there is no real timeline when they will be real and as I see it, such systems will not be active before 2031.

So have a great day and don’t forget to ask your barista if his La Marzocco GB5 S Auto-volumetric 2 Group Commercial Espresso Machine is AI powered.

The road available

That is where I am, not exactly on a crossroad, but it might look that way. Some go into the ‘consideration’ of the road less travelled, some go into the setting that they want to look elsewhere, but this is between the two. You see, as we are looking towards changing the data sovereignty in the Commonwealth and the EU, we see that there is $117B up for grabs and most go into the setting that it is too difficult and that there are too many complications. I do not completely agree with that, but there are hurdles to pass. In the first is the eating for server complexes in the EU (Belgium more specifically), UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and then the satellite server locations in Europe, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Berlin, Geneva, Rome and the is just for starters and these server locations cannot have anything from the United States. Norway can attest to the issues they have been facing and they might be a better first source of these solutions. As we are sailing away from the United States hiding behind their CLOUD Act, we have to realise that too little has been done and if you wonder why they are speeding up their data centres and in the mean time claiming that rogue (fake) AI’s are copying the data they can get a hold of, we need to insulate ourselves from that. Optionally we need to make sure that China cannot do the same thing. And when these settings are showing progress, we will see that the Gulf States will attempt to copy these settings to keep their own data safe. But when you look into that, we see a stream of consultants, trainers, support staff and a whole range of people that are part of that ‘golden’ $117,000,000,000 and it will cost Google, Amazon, Microsoft and IBM as such they are widely opposed to this setting. I do not blame them, they are (for the most) all willing to give us what we needed, but this United States Administration seems to be in some kind of grab anything they can, because the timeline is now ending for them. It is no longer a fictive worst case scenario, there is a clear end of line to be seen there. And whilst the media is now turning their story about the resilience of the United States, there are too many markers that time is running out. In the first setting the United States is no longer a superpower, with the exception of ‘boasting’, ‘bluffing’ and ‘bullying’ the larger consensus is “Whether the United States is a declining power is a complex and heavily debated topic among historians, economists, and political analysts, with a widespread public consensus leaning toward a sense of relative decline.” In this is wonder what ‘relative decline’ is? Is that in relation to EVERY other nation in the world? In other news we see that the NY Times gives us “Critics and analysts point to shifting alliances, internal political volatility, and unilateral decisions as factors diminishing international confidence in U.S. leadership and institutional stability.” In my mind I would say that the international confidence has pretty much declined to zero. So whilst opponents of these thoughts are relying on “Proponents of American resilience note that the U.S. maintains the world’s preeminent military force” so how does that go? The Trump side has (inactively) bombed Iran into the storage whilst their missiles are pretty much depleted and whilst we see that this was the fault of President Biden whilst he was in office, all whilst we see from different sources that then President Biden never send any missiles to Ukraine. So whilst we are given “Over 850 Tomahawks were fired in the first month alone, consuming nearly half of the global U.S. inventory” and I am telling you now that this is a response I merely copied, I have no idea or insights on how many tomahawks the United States has

So when you start doing the numbers up, including tourism and the amount of people who turned their back on the United States as a place of entertainment, we see a rather nasty future and there is no way this can be turned around. The people will not care about the midterms. The empty boasts that President Trump is going to prison, he might have stated that former President Biden has to go to prison, but sources tell me that former President Biden has no intent to visit President Trump in prison. But all jokes aside. The good times dealing with Google, Amazon and Microsoft is ending. The cloud act makes it impossible and we better wake up fast. My works were copied over 8000 times and I only wrote 4000 articles, so there is that to consider and when others get to consider what they optionally lost, their pressure to switch to a non-US and possibly a non-Chinese solution is pretty clear. And as some claim that the United States big four are about to lose a total of $117 billion, as such there is an opportunity for European and Commonwealth firms to invest and optionally expand on what they have and as such create a new business model, one that excludes the United States as a player on these grounds. Am I too dark? No this was always in the books, it started to get serious when Norway made it a serious agenda point in 2024 and whilst others thought it would blow over, the actions of this United States administration made  them do a turnabout instantly. The question becomes now, what were they able to keep safe? I merely wonder why happens when these sources dry up with the 4,423 tracked facilities across states (as per June 2026), because if they are all fighting for the same data, the setting becomes that these centres with lacking verification and validation become less and less accurate on a daily basis (it is a mere personal presumption) but the settings of lacking verification and validation is a known setting. As such there are several reasons to applaud data sovereignty.

Have a great day

The preamble to psychosis

There has been a way of thinking induced. It started when I was focusing on two scripts. It wasn’t that I ‘needed’ to write both, more that the setting of a stage was required. This happens. I let my mind wander and waver until something clicks. Then at some point I was considering the reasons for psychosis. I am (apparently) unaware of its settings. Then my mind started to play with combinations psycho sociopath versus a sociopathic psycho. And I went from there. But then an idea came to me. Not for the two scrips, but it might be an idea for one of them, an episode out of these thoughts. Still, the ideas came calling.

In this idea the character was moving and the first thing he encounters is that his computer is stolen, but he sees the thief and from there he goes on a killing spree. His killing game show so to speak. So he goes on a murder bender, killing the thief in a rage and removing the evidence, although the rage seemed real, it was his way to show the world that he was out of control, but it only seemed that way. His methods are too calculating and too precise, which is why the police isn’t focussing on him. Then he sees what was connected and he goes deeper and deeper into that maze. And whilst we see that ‘maze’ we see the elements of jealousy and envy so whilst he is confronted with the want of something that belongs to him and their fear of losing something that already was the main character. In this he continues his killing spree, a spree that frightens the people behind the thief, their envy becomes apparent but their fear is checked by their greed and that drives the point along. And in my mind, the idea is that their fear of death will push them to betray the people that least deserved to be betrayed and that might give a link to (I won’t call them) organized crime (unless they wield a PDA or a Filofax) but this setting is one that drives several options to the surface and hills, I like where this is heading, it is merely one episode in that tale and in the other setting I am not of a clear mind, but the other one needs to go in a different direction, because the ‘American’ way of ‘adjusting’ the same idea in several paths is not the real deal of any storyteller. Perhaps those with the mere focus of making money, but that is where the ‘Hollywood’ strain comes in.

As there are other options Canada, Saudi Arabia, UAE (both Dubai and Abu Dhabi) are the settings for the next generation of storytellers and as storyteller we have to look where the markets are. And even if I struck out with my first script (me looking somewhat sad), I still have arrows in the quiver, or is that a script in my quill? Although my quill has a keyboard and a screen I can till call it whatever I like, it is mine to name it.

But as we name our tools, we tend to limit its potential. Don’t ask me why, it merely is that way. So from parchment with quill we went to ballpoint and paper then a typewriter and paper and from there we went to computers, laptops, tablets and so on, but at every step we lost something along the way as writing went faster, we forced our brains to go faster and I don’t think it always held up to what the writer wanted it to be. As we gained time to ‘write’ faster, we lost time to think and that is where it all happens in these gray cells, that is where our stories started, not on paper or on screen, in our minds. And whilst we consider what we gain in speed, we lost creativity against time and that is the conundrum and even I see this, no matter how fast the idea evolve in my brain. I realise that the time gained is lost into a second or even a third thinking over the idea I had.

And there we see the preamble, an introduction of events that comes before the formally formed writing or even the written action to explain its purpose and optional background. The is the setting and I let set this to a more direct setting. The Iliad is an ancient Greek epic poem containing 15,693 lines divided into 24 books. But how long did it take to write it? I cannot find anything stating that, merely that it was written around 762 BC. The is as good as it gets and compare this to the 28 verified deals across the year (with some industry tallies tracking roughly 19 to 23 core summer/seasonal milestones), but how many scripts were offered? Some say 20000-25000, I honestly have no idea. But in this stage where we see so many scripts making the rounds. How many are honestly originals? I can’t tell if mine is original. I personally think so, but the idea that someone had a similar idea is not out of the realm of possibilities. As such I put parts of my scripts online, it gives a timeline of originality (or so I believe it does). And as I am contemplating more settings (which beats the stories on politics of today) and in some aspects the warmongering I have, because that at least comes with the grounds of originality. And we all admire originality in ourselves and in others. It is the beginning of innovation. And whilst we see the need for innovation, some are merely in it for the money (those numbers with a preceding $) and whilst we can accept that, I have a lessened need for that, this is why I gave the ideas I had on dealing with Iran to both Saudi Arabia and the UAE, they can see if it works for them and as such I will have done my duty as a person.

Perhaps I will gain some out of it, but it is not my goal (still it is nice to get some) and whilst it is not the main setting, the idea is to make it part of my story is still an added part of it. Why matters is that more people are looking into their options to stop players like Iran in ways I never considered. I optionally took out the railway systems, the harbours and a few other settings (like refineries). They are merely optional settings but someone else who could have had chemical degrees (My chemistry knowledge is massively below par) could have found a way to poison the oil. My limited setting is merely set to add yellowcake (no idea how to put my hands on that, or if it would even work) to the oil, irradiating it all and making that mix useless for generations (as well as spending billions in separating the two). There are likely a lot more options (I reckon the members of the Pentagon never earned their stripes), and that is merely a thought coming to mind and optionally the start of another setting for an episode. And I do like to surprise my self, just this day I surprised myself wth a slice of Tiramisu, best surprise ever (they ran out of Black Forest cake).

So time to think of a few other settings and hopefully Final Draft works out their copy/paste problem, so I can set at least a few more options to ‘actual script’ Have a great day.

A boggling mind

That happens and at present it is my mind that is boggling. First off, there is no critique on Saudi Arabia and how it does it business. None at all. My mind is merely looking at what the media is ‘offering my mind’ and as Al Jazeera gives us ‘Houthi missile attack targets Saudi capital Riyadh for third day in a row’, my mind is at a standstill. We know what abilities Palantir has in the settings of data intelligence, but so does IBM Miner (formerly known as SPSS Miner and before that as Clementine), then there is Jingan Technology (of which I know less than nothing) and I know only what certain media settings ‘declassifies’ and we are given “Established in 2021 in Hangzhou, China, by veterans from major tech firms (Alibaba, Baidu, Huawei) and Chinese military branches, Operates under China’s military-civil fusion strategy, supplying intelligence-gathering, geospatial analysis, and predictive tools to state security, public security, and People’s Liberation Army (PLA)/defense-linked clients.” (Source: South China Morning Post) And I am merely setting that stage as Palantir as a US product might no longer be as reliable as it once was. If course IBM miner is a BI took and not an intelligence tool, so it might be missing a fair bit on sides in all this considering and contemplating Palantir Gotham. But as I see it, it is important to find ways to seek solutions in the data mess, mainly because it could help Saudi Arabia and I am careful to use the application as ‘could’ because I have no idea on how far Saudi Arabia is in the data digging mess (my best assessment in this) as I gave last week that shipping parsing in the Gulf of Aden is in part an optical solution and that is stated as I never saw any smuggling data and I have seen shipping data and these ‘box carriers’ show up all over the maritime tracking settings. But there is a catch are they being tracked or intentionally ‘avoiding to be tracked’ and that is in part a solution as one source gives me “Roughly 55 to 65 ships pass through the Gulf of Aden each day, though daily totals fluctuate due to regional security incidents and re-routing” that is an amount that is manageable. The question is how far can we track these ships and which ones are in verifiable settings and courses to be optionally disregarded and that leaves us with X amount of ships that require a closer eye. And we might be looking in the wrong direction, but the clear setting is that we get in sources from Twitter (say X) “In a statement on X, Turki Al-Maliki, the spokesperson for the coalition, said the Houthis fired one ballistic missile at Riyadh and two towards Khamis Mushait, a city in the southwest. All three were “intercepted and destroyed” my mindset is that these rockets could not have been produced in Yemen and the fact that these rocket (no matter that they were destroyed) requires certain electronics and it is for that reason that I feel that Iran is the likeliest culprit. And as it was not a drone, it was a ballistic missile. As such the pool of likely candidates is somewhat diminished from a dozen to a mere 2-3 parties. And at least one of those is on friendly terms with Saudi Arabia. So I feel that I am on the correct track. And as a solution we see the BI solution IBM Miner and in a more military setting we get to Palantir and whatever Jingan Technology has. 

But there is also the setting of whatever the Presidency of State Security (PSS) is, because as I see it, General Turki Al-Maliki should be given every support he could get and that is where I am at present. So, what solutions are in use and why can there be no additional support (because Saudi Arabia should have as much as it can), mainly because Saudi Arabia is under attack and it is Aramco, Khamis Mushait as well as the King Khalid airport. And in my mindset terrorists should not get this far, as I see it, eradication of terrorists is an essential need. Perhaps some want to invite them for tea and cookies but I am all about destroying the enemy, especially if they are targeting civilians. 

The question is how to go best about that. I have a clear view because I was given these tools in the past, I was giving (non military) intelligence in the past and as such I came to the Gulf of Aden as a first. There is of course the chance that these smuggle activities are Iran, Iraq, Jordan and then the red sea, but I would think that this track has the most complications and as such a much larger chance of failure. The other option is the Arabian Sea and than via Africa, but there are a few players there who would prefer Saudi Arabia as a friend and as such the gulf of Aden remains. A simple track (possibly a wrong one) and the resources to track these up to 80 ships daily (I am taking additional numbers under advisement) are a first, because that might get a better view and of course there is every chance that these ‘missile components’ are optionally shipped as ‘boxes of mobiles’ or something like that and there we have options of detecting and that comes with additional settings of releasing over 75% of ships who are innocent. But as my mind sees it we get the oldest question setting (from the 70s) where we get the image of Who, What, When, Where, How and Why. Six elements that might reveal who Saudi Arabia is dealing with. And of course ii am coming from a biased setting and as such I am on the Iran setting (Who) and what is either complete ballistic missiles but that seems less likely, more likely are the elements, because the explosive settings could come from all directions, but the electronics are likely from the “Who” side, making Iran the likely candidate. And in support I give you that Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthi terrorists are openly supported from Iran. 

This is my mindset and it is not impossible that I am wrong and that is also part of the analyses from either of these three parts (IBM, Palantir, Jingan Technology) and I could be wrong, but on these sides we see certain tools and these seemingly the tip of the spear and that is one place to look at. And I recently (in the last 24 hours) was given “Palantir Technologies has expanded its presence in Saudi Arabia through strategic defense, artificial intelligence, and regional digital transformation partnerships” (source: X/Twitter) as such I feel I am on the right track.

It feels nice to focus on a data problem and in the end it is a data problem because this can only work if we consider and eliminated verifiable data settings, but that might be my limited look on the matter (and I have been accused more than once of oversimplifying complex settings), but that would be me.

Have a great day and I noticed that I am now roughly 180 minutes from breakfast, so one more log to saw and of to the breakfast table I go.

Have a great day today.

Deescalating ties for USA

That is what is seemingly happening and I saw the news 9 hours ago. So even if I wrote the previous blog 13 hours ago (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/10/13/is-business-booming/) with ‘Is business booming?’ Where the stage was offered among others to Jingan Technology. I was unaware of ‘Chinese top diplomat meets UAE president’s special envoy Khaldoon’ (at https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202610/1372209.shtml) and yes they are not the same, not even the same countries, but the setting are clear for China and their corporations. A setting is opening to push the United States out of an area that they held as their ‘A’ position for decades and they are hungry to prove their worth and value is almost everything to the gulf states (proven disloyalty aa lot less so) as such the article gives us “Wang, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs, said China and the UAE enjoy strong political mutual trust and have achieved substantive results in cooperation. Their relationship has gone beyond the bilateral scope and become a model of cooperation among Global South countries in pursuing development and revitalization, Wang said. Regardless of changes in the international and regional situation, China is ready to work with the UAE under the guidance of the two countries’ heads of state to take bilateral relations to new heights, Wang said.” And if you think that this is all to some communist party reference, it is not. China is almost entirely communist, but for the rest of the world to accept that political side takes a massive distrust of the United States and whilst they are all about “How great they and their president Tump are” the rest of the world doesn’t see it that was and by the numbers the united States is outmatched through 750,000,000 against 7,500,000,000 that is one hell of a difference and whilst some will claim “You shouldn’t see it that simple” that simpleton used numbers against all others that was until Donald the joker Trump became president and through tariffs, the 51st state, Greenland, Venezuela, Cuba, Iran and through that Canada, the gulf States, the EU and parts of Asia, it lost the match which should have never been a match and should have never started. I still believe that it was the desperate act of a nation that had run out of money and whilst they still have ‘plenty’ of bonds, the payment of a fixed coupon rate every six months until maturity is going to weigh the United States down on their 20 and 30 years bonds, the setting will get massively hindered by their $40,390,000,000,000 with over 1 trillion interest annually. So whilst the 20 and 30 years bonds are trying to shed anything they can to survive it all, the metrics (even the top-line metrics) do not hold a beneficial setting. In that stage the gulf states who have investments in the USA are waiting for them to be toppled and as such they can buy that nation per square mile on pennies on the dollar. A setting that was slowly coming to maturity. And for those thinking that this will never happen, consider who is sitting in the White House and whilst he could never live with having to make the statement “We are out of cash” and it was going this way since before he came with the bully statement that Canada was its 51st state. I was clued in long before that. Still there is a lot to be unclear about, but as I see it, it will become a shouting (optically slapping) match between the 989 billionaires in the USA and the Communist Party of China (CPC) with its 101,290,000 members and when the United States sees that these 100 million plus members are receiving an ovation from the EU and the gulf stats, their morality sinks to the lowest basement it has (minus 3 as far as I know). This is not a setting I applaud, but the UAE and Saudi Arabia must do what is best for their country, it is what we expect from our governments and why shouldn’t they want the same? 

As such China is about to enter a golden age of commerce (as President Trump stated this several times) and as commerce is real and as all AI (or SI) is fake I would assume that several corners of this world will go to China. And as more and more people are waking up from the fake statements the United States gave us. And whilst some think that others were supposed to take steps, the people are woken up by news like ‘Donald Trump sparks Republican backlash after declaring Russia-Ukraine energy ceasefire’ with “Donald Trump declared a ceasefire that neither Russia nor Ukraine agreed to. His own party is now leading the charge against him.” And as the hostilities evolve though the hostile actions of an invading Russia, the US administration might now be the weakest player around (and it is seemingly massively out of missiles too) A setting that invigorates China and opens up the Gulf states for negotiations, because as I personally see it the United States bluffed and outsold itself one continent too far. 

But in all this, it might be a simple delusional me writing. Have a great day all.

Is business booming?

This morning I was made aware of an article on ABC news. The article (at https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10-13/saudis-probe-houthi-attack-on-riyadh-airport-amid-ongoing-attack/107258142) is giving us ‘Saudi-led coalition destroys Houthi ballistic missile amid probe into air defences’ where we get the key points “Saudi Arabia says it has intercepted a ballistic missile fired by the Houthis towards Riyadh. Houthis claimed responsibility for two strikes on Monday, local time, aimed at Riyadh airport and an air base in Saudi Arabia’s Khamis Mushait. The fresh strikes come after Saudi Arabia launched an investigation to determine how its air defences failed to intercept the Houthi missiles.” And as I (personally) see it, Houthi terrorists don’t have the ability to set the ballistic missiles, as such I come to the conclusion that Iran is (the most likely culprit) providing assistance. Either direct or indirect, as such several options should be considered by the Saudi government. The latter one was on July 18th 2026 as I wrote ‘Terrorists are as terrorists do’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/07/18/terrorists-are-as-terrorists-do/) and I was considering different settings. You see we all look towards Palantir Gotham to solve tactical settings for Saudi Arabia, but at present the United States is no longer considered to be a reliable ally. But where is China in all this. Technological adversaries tend to be on similar terms. So what is the Chinese version of Palantir? I know nothing of them, other than that they are spread over several software considerations. And as I see it Jingan Technology might be a decent alternative and it would spread ‘the good word’ from the Chinese government towards Saudi Arabia. As I see it, a certain person (namely Alex Karp) would have to start all sails towards solving the Saudi problems and to solve the intelligence towards solving the Houthi terrorist conundrum. How are they supplied? I considered several options in ‘Where the dogs sleep’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/09/25/where-the-dogs-sleep/) and I still believe they are valid thoughts, but now the question becomes. Who will assist Saudi Arabia better? Palantir or Jingan Technology, because as I see it, whomever proves the ‘support’ channels of these terrorists, that party will have a much bigger pull into getting commerce with Saudi Arabia and I am not in that field, I merely support Saudi Arabia as it is attacked and that much stop. Unlike others I have no problems getting create suffering to the attacking party of Saudi Arabia, which I personally still believe is Iran. So when the Houthi terrorists are made evanescent (an expensive word meaning to  be reduced to nothingness) we can focus on the parties that are supporting Houthi terrorists. This might be too large a call to make, but change is done in steps and in all this I support the preservation of the Saudi way of life. I am not one of these templars who considered all saracens and muslims evil. I am not muslim, but they are allowed to defend their lands and whomever aids them is an ally. So who will answer the call? Alex Karp or Shi Qiaomu? They don’t need to call me, but I reckon that a call to Prince Khalid bin Salman Al Saud is in order from either, optionally both. 

Whilst the media is all about the ‘events’ no one is looking towards who is igniting these settings, just my way of thinking. So you all have a great day and try to enjoy your morning coffee in Toronto, lunch coffee in Amsterdam and Abu Dhabi and late coffee in Sydney. Different times, same concoction.

How Google is losing the plot

Yes, it happens and in this age of all the fake AI it will happen a lot sooner than you think. So, you want to see evidence? Easily done. 

Seems simple enough, so why was “https://lawlordtobe.com/2021/07/22/tome/” omitted? It was a simple enough request and whilst we see results that ‘kinda’ answers the request from 2018, all whilst the ACTUAL article was not there and it was published in 2021. We get an AI overview, we get all kinds of articles, but not the one I asked for. So how did Google lose the plot? I am kinda curious. Because the query itself is really simple. There was even an older article in 2020, but that one was called ‘Tomes’ so it might not have made the ‘query setting’ but then neither did the other ones because the one we do see is tagged with “iBook”, but the title is “An actual competitor” so whilst we get into the setting of blame (like) “You should have done ….” No, I asked for for the specific query and I might have gotten more and that would have been fine, but the one mention that I actually needed was not given. 

We seem to have the ‘old fashioned’ setting that Google responds to OUR query, what we wanted and they are even selling Google ads on that premise “do what the question asks” so why is Google missing the point by over a mile? 

So whilst we were given n the past ‘US v. Google Antitrust Verdict’ with “A US federal court ruled that Google built and maintained an illegal monopoly in the search and digital advertising markets through exclusive default agreements with phone makers and browsers” I am contemplating that some of that ‘overlapped’ in different fields (and contemplating does not mean that they are doing this or that this is happening). But in this day and age where we kinda rely on Google giving us the goods, the simple fact that it does not, is a massive cause for concern.

And this was merely me looking up something for myself regarding what I myself wrote, so how much more is there out there?

Have a great day (I am still 240 minutes from breakfast)

End of a fairy tale

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

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

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

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

Just something to consider.

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

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

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

Have a great day

Changes

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

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

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

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

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

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

Have a great day today.

The issue with grandpa

That is how I saw it and I was woken up to ‘Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra: An AI powerhouse with a RAM issue’ an issue that made me frown. So we get “the Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra has been unveiled, equipped with the Nvidia RTX Spark chip. There is no European equivalent of the starting price yet, with the $2,599 price tag from the U.S. serving as the best indication. For that price, you’re not getting a workstation: 8 cores, 24GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage. However, the built-in magnetic USB-C charger is included as a premium-looking feature”, no no that is not the world we live in. We see the reported “With 128GB of memory, which provides the AI workstation with a reasonable amount of RAM for sophisticated AI models, the Surface Laptop Ultra costs nearly $6,000. At that price point, another alternative has been announced: the Surface RTX Spark Dev Box, a mini-PC for developers that also features 128GB of RAM. Pre-orders have begun, and shipments are expected on October 16.” But then the article gives us the bottleneck. You see, it woke me up, because the is the same setting we had in 1992. A system dragged down by ram (different specs in those days) we are given “The problem facing the Surface Laptop Ultra, and many consumers, is the RAM crisis. Because memory is currently extremely expensive due to high demand, it isn’t necessarily appealing to purchase the hardware for AI on one’s own. The problem: since AI is then only available remotely, such as Claude, ChatGPT, or various models accessible via API, demand in that area grows, and the providers of these services purchase more memory. This is how the price spiral continues to spiral out of control. As a result, the entry-level model of the Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra is very limited. 24GB, although unified, is downright insufficient for AI. That’s the same amount offered by an RTX 4090 GPU; the difference is that, as a standalone graphics card, that chip operates much faster at the cost of significantly higher power consumption. But the rest of the PC still needs additional DRAM to run the system itself, so unified memory must strike a balance. Actually using 24GB for a single LLM is therefore unthinkable: the OS, other processes, and any applications also need memory space.”

For reference the MacBook Pro gives you 48GB Buy for $4,699.00 with 2TB of storage and this setting is what I call a flim flam option. Just give it a song with all the bells and whistles and se how that sails. So, as I see it, its kinda true to get “As a result, the entry-level model of the Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra is very limited. 24GB, although unified, is downright insufficient for AI” and there is the rub, the laptop is completely insufficient, but if they mention the high end of a component costing the same, it falls away. And when we see the added “But the rest of the PC still needs additional DRAM to run the system itself, so unified memory must strike a balance. Actually using 24GB for a single LLM is therefore unthinkable: the OS, other processes, and any applications also need memory space.” A setting of a NEW laptop where we see the need for massive required additions is not a new laptop, it it (as I personally see it) a refurbished prevue generation gaming laptop with a brand new logo. Is that what Microsoft has become? Old news with questionable hardware options? 

So with that the article switches to Mac, making it a ‘but they are in the same setting” and we are given “Ultimately, consumers have little say when it comes to pricing. However, there is a choice between Apple and Microsoft. The Surface Laptop Ultra is explicitly a counterpart to the MacBook Pro with the M5 Pro chip. The specifications for the entry-level model are actually very similar: an 18-core CPU, 24GB of RAM, and Wi-Fi 7. However, Bluetooth 6 is missing from the Microsoft model, which “only” supports version 5.4.” Yet we aren’t given that Microsoft apparently offers 512Gb (not unlike my Android phone) but Apple has a 2TB storage a 40 core GPU with 48GB gives you a lot more for that ‘price’ and of course there is no mention that upgrading to more memory is $400 for 64GB, the step from that to 128GB is however $2000 and for a thousand more you upgrade storage to 4TB. I am in the middle needing that, but I have different settings. And whilst a vlogger wants to make that jump, wielding Adobe solutions like a magical wand that you wave and shout ‘Firefly Permissus’ because that is what vloggers (apparently) need nowadays to get their numbers up.  As such the Mac approaches the “the Surface Laptop Ultra costs nearly $6,000” and as I see it, the specs of the Mac are decently better at that point (and you don’t have to shy away when people stare at the Microsoft logo on your laptop) but that is more of personal nature. But the setting of “24GB of RAM, and 512GB” is one that has thrown me for the longest time and as I see it Microsoft has something it pretends to be ‘the start of the upper class’ whilst it is nothing more than last seasons gaming laptop of Asus. As I see it Microsoft doesn’t learn, or its master in the boardroom is still unaware how the market reacts. And there is no real setting for memory, it is expensive, we see that and it is expensive all over. And that is not even the worst news, because that part isn’t given and we cannot blame the writer (or Techzine), you see, in other places we are given “SK Hynix warns of worst-Ever memory shortage in 2027” which implies that if you can afford it get it now, because the prices will go up drastically within 10-20 weeks. And that leaves Microsoft in a bind. Because that will make their Surface Laptop Ultra massively short and super expensive to make it fit. So, its not all their fault, they can blame their copilot for that. You see, this setting was clearly foretold with predictive analytics and as such with their (fake) AI. The fact that simple stupid me could see it shows you how shortcoming copilot is. Doesn’t it uses OpenAI’s large language models? And what exactly is Microsoft’s proprietary Prometheus model? It is OpenAI with a MSLogo? (I actually don’t know the answer here, I have never ever looked at Prometheus), 

it makes me remember that guy who stole fire and gets ripped asunder by eagles again and again until time stops. The image was better captured by photographer Carl Bloch (they were called painters in those days) although Zeus had a more impressive beard and longer hair (in those days). And in case if you think it is rambling. You would be wrong. You see, Microsoft wanted a cool name, but Prometheus was (by all accounts) a thief, a deceiver and optionally a charlatan. Out there for his personal ‘needs’, the one we name pride now. And it has reference as this is the same setting we saw in 1994, 1999 and 2011. Microsoft stating (in those days) “We do’t expect any additional needs” which is a reference for memory (and storage) all whilst they already knew that their is a bonus for the additional needs and we get to pay for that. And as I saw it (in 1999) Asus was already more than aware and giving us more than we needed. So I merely see a return to old stupidity, or perhaps better stated short stopped settings all for the good of bonus sales and when they have you on board, you can stop with what you have of give more. And when we see what is actually required (which we are shown with) “24GB, although unified, is downright insufficient for AI” and that should have been clear straight out of the gates so, why didn’t Microsoft properly address that from the start? 

Makes you wonder doesn’t it? Have a great day today
