Reasons for a ban

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

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

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

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

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

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

Have a great day today.

What the eyes see

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

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

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

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

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

Changing the byline

That is the setting I see and whilst the BBC (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cqgk5e2j0gg8o) gives us ‘AI ‘kill switch’ may need to be mandatory, Anthropic co-founder tells BBC’ a mere 5 hours ago. I had my thoughts. So, as we see “An artificial intelligence “kill switch” which can be checked by a third party may need to be mandatory for companies, a co-founder of one of the world’s largest AI firms has told the BBC.” I see something different. So when we get to “Clark said “most labs have different ways of being able to pull the plug”, including Anthropic, but said lawmakers may need to enforce having one. AI’s rapid development and fears over the risks it poses to humanity have been thrust into the spotlight by a series of warnings from executives and staff at AI firms.” And when we get to “Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei over the weekend called for the pace of AI development to slow and be more closely monitored, as the company has done before, though some have questioned the motivations behind this.

Amodei added that any action to rein in AI development should be done “without sacrificing commercial advantage”.” Thoughts started to overwhelm me. Some people state that the setting is about “AI’s rapid development and fears over the risks it poses to humanity” I don’t think that is the case. I merely think it is what some will ‘present’ the setting that we are given and most people are willing to go along with that. There is however a larger concern. You see I have had my meetings with these AI boffins and they all have the same setting towards validation and verification that is in play. There isn’t any of it, and when it is there it is there in the most ludicrous basic ways. You see, there is just one step (just one) from AI hallucinations (which is a confident response from an artificial intelligence system that contains false, misleading, or completely fabricated information presented as fact) and it is seen as Invented statistics, historical errors, or nonexistent legal citations, as well as Citations to books, research papers, or URLs that do not exist. I have seen this and I have seen that the settings that this represents to court cases are numerous and we have seen n the news several settings. But the larger concern is that between that and an AI actually overwriting factual matters of any corporations is only one mere step and these fake AI vendors are insulating themselves from that fact by ‘employing’ a kill witch, so that they can avoid getting called into court by setting the stage of ‘Did you use the kill switch?’ And that  is the setting I see. So whilst we are given (by the BBC) ““Should you mandate for companies to definitely have a kill switch? Is that kill switch verifiable by a third party?” he asked.

“I think that’s the kind of thing society is going to want to know and might want to eventually pass rules around.” Anthropic, which was formed in 2021 by a group of former employees of its rival OpenAI, is currently at the centre of a debate around AI safety. Last week, a post from an artificial intelligence researcher who quit Anthropic over concerns AI could wipe out humanity went viral.” So is this really about “over concerns AI could wipe out humanity”, you do know that Cyberdyne is just a figment of the brilliant director named James Cameron, it was ahead of its time and we aren’t nearly there yet, but the kill switch scape goat is one way to counter the class actions heading their way and whilst some can’t be avoided, the larger concern is what will happen in 2027, because that will be the truncator of their wealth and they are seeing the stoplights and they want to insulate themselves from their fake AI. They rode the waves as much as they can, but the first blockages are showing and now the cautious people are rearing their heads. I see all the complacencies showing up (like figment court cases) and that is merely the beginning, but the setting that corporations factual data is overwritten or wiped is only one step away and I reckon that these people want to insulate themselves and as they are coasting their vessels of wealth towards sunny shores, they have no other option but to insulate themselves and their wealth. 

Funny that I saw these court cases come up a long time ago. I never saw this part, but this part makes sense. When your training data is based on reddit (whilst we are given “Major AI companies train their models on nearly all of Reddit’s public historical archive”) is this continuation of dangers weird or unsuspected? As I see it, when even one factual data is overwritten by some fake AI juiced up on reddit, the setting gets ugly in a hurry. And that is what these people are ‘misrepresenting’ and crying now for some kill switch, because the kill switch is not for the AI, it is their escape clause. So whilst you might doubt me (always a fair setting) I have written about the fake AI setting for the longest time. 

So someone asked me what makes binary AI surreal? I give them the same setting every time. Take any colored image (example 600 by 600 dots) and run it through plotter printing only black and white dots on a colored piece of paper (green, red or blue) then do it on the same kind paper and instead of black and white, add the option to do this in black, white and 16 greyscales. You will see that this image is much more precise and revealing. This is the setting between binary and trinary this is why all AI is fake and it gets to be worse when you consider that you need a lot more data describing in binary what requires trinary and that is why I was on this horse all along and I have been on it for over 10 years, but the players all think that they have the golden goose and I merely cannot see what it is. Well, It is ‘advanced’ predictive analytics. These AI cannot reason, they work the numbers, go with statistics and it is nice if it is a set field, when they go towards never encountered situations, it all falls apart. This is the weakness of these fake AI’s and it is not whether I hate AI, I merely don’t trust it, because it is not AI, and Alan Turing would have my back on this. 

So whilst you think that I am “Full of Sh*t”, which is your right. My predictions are given form through my blog and in 2025 I predicted that 2026 was the year of AI class actions and now we see “Broadridge’s 2026 Global Class Action Annual Report highlights that global class action activity recently produced around $4 billion in settlements across multiple jurisdictions from roughly 130 major claim-filing deadlines” as well as “According to the Duane Morris Class Action Review, the combined value of the top 10 highest settlements across all substantive areas previously crossed the historic $70 billion mark, showing how massive individual mega-settlements drive the ceiling of total class action value” and “In the U.S. and global financial sectors, recovery momentum has accelerated into 2026, with an increasing number of nine-figure and $100M+ securities settlements closing out the mid-year milestones”, as such my predictions are holding up neatly. And now these vendors need insulation and they are thinking (optionally correct) that a kill switch might take the dangers to their wealth away. And I get that these fat cats want to insulate their wealth and insulate the dangers to them, but the BBC should have a greater need to look into these dangers and that is why I took this article as an example. I reckon that it is not only the BBC going after this. As I see it, Dario Amodei, Sam Altman and Elon Musk are all in agreement to slow down, but I reckon it is because they are seeing the dangers heading for their assets and they are in it too deep (as I personally see it). 

As I see it, this is the heading that we are seeing happen and soon there will be some (optionally fictive) revelation and that is when the stage changes and we will see massive amounts taken out of the AI field. When that happens there is no Jensen Huang claiming that there is no bubble, the court cases that will be an exploding setting will shut that down in a hurry. 

But what do I know? So you all have a great day today and I will be watching from the docks watching the good ship bubble explode near the parking zone. And I can say this whilst I have been preaching these dangers for nearly a decade. Where exactly where you a decade ago? Consider this setting and enjoy your day.

Droning right along

That is the setting I saw in my mind. A drone solution to a screwed up situation and the Houthi terrorists have themselves to thank for that. So as I saw the news from different places. The BBC gives us (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c23x72yx2rvo) ‘Houthis claim major advance in Yemen and tighten grip on Red Sea shipping lane’ where we see “The Iran-backed group seized Perim Island at the mouth of the waterway in the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a source from Yemen’s internationally recognised government told the BBC. It comes a day after the Houthis captured the strategic port city of Mokha from Saudi-backed pro-government forces, according to military sources. A Yemeni military official told the AFP news agency the Houthis now control the entire coastline.” With the additional “The Houthis earlier said they posed no threat to international shipping but reiterated their threat to target vessels from Saudi Arabia. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the country’s de facto ruler, has personally pressed US President Donald Trump to take military action against the Houthis during their rapid advance, two sources familiar with the matter told CBS News – the BBC’s media partner in North America.

Trump has so far declined to involve the US military directly, offering instead to assist with intelligence and targeting support, the sources said.” So as the United States cannot clean up their messes, because all this got pushed to the surface by Iran engaging through Houthi Terrorists (yes, BBC, these troops are terrorists) Saudi Arabia is pushed to do something, as President trump seemingly is declining to involve the US military directly, I see a solution where the United States are pushed out of the Middle East completely, with a simple optional presence in Tel Aviv. We get China to render assistance. And in that setting I see drones getting involved (in my mind the lyrics from ‘moving right along’ by the Muppets is droning in my head. 

[KERMIT]              Droning right along
                    In search of allies and methods
                   With allies that can’t lose
[FOZZIE]               This would be upgraded
[KERMIT]                 Opportunity knocks once let’s reach out and grab it
                                   Together we’ll jack it
[FOZZIE]                  We’ll grab it, make and amuse it
[KERMIT] (spoken) Amuse it?

You get the idea and this is not entertainment, although the creativity that surrounds it might make it so. And for terrorists we need to think differently. As I suspect, the capture of Mocha was merely to get the influx of weaponry going (their number one goal) and there I see the setting of another wave of expediency.
So as we get to the drones we need several new settings. A spy drone (explanation down the track and delivery drones. 
The spy drone would be (depending on the vessel) parked in a higher place (like a ships mast) or is the ship allows it parked on top of the wheelhouse, or behind the wheelhouse, stuck behind the bowel of the ship. It serves two purposes, the first is to monitor anything it can and capture any transmission it can. It is about to become important. You see the delivery drones do two things. Deliver the surface mines and the ball mines. The surface mines blow the hull, the ball mines are dropped right above the hole and the water influx into the vessel will suck it into the ship. At that point all hell brakes lose and these smugglers will contact whomever they can, because when they fail, they lose a lot of revenue and their vessel. So they will cry for help in all directions and the spy drone will capture all this and their jamming capabilities will make sure that this doesn’t go any further. Optionally, they can delay the second they have into minutes of agony and record all that is going on. Optionally capture the names of IRGC members. 
So depending on the size of the vessel, 2-3 drones are all that is required and when they deliver the payload they fly back. The balminess are a different matter. They explode like fragmentation mines and make a mess of what is inside the vessel. As I see it (see below) 

The ball mine has these blue balls, which are an optional weaker version of a Neodymium magnet, it might be one, but I do not think that this strong a magnet is required. As a back it has the electronics on the inside, the outer shell is a metal with the magnets on top of it (see more pictures below) and as the ball moves, it can move into any direction, it might be moved by the spy drone, but getting it on the wall and moving up is basically what is needed and Machine Language is all that is required. The ball moves into position and blows, making a mess of anything inside the ship and optionally the machine room will be taken out, making the vessel a sinking dead duck. 

as you see it is metal, the magnets and the C4, a simple solution with low cost, no missiles required. This ball could be used in the field as well, but there it has a much bigger role. So as we see that drones could be dropping their ordinance, or used as portable claymores, we have a setting against terrorists. We merely have to engage the biggest groups and take out these terrorists. You see, President Trump. I need not waste billions on missiles and long winded speeches, up to 5 drone operators, sitting at a comfy chair with their own playbooks is all that was required. I reckon the Chinese party in this, might throw in that comfy chair for free. And that is all she wrote. A simple solution taking care of terrorists. The balminess can directly engage with vehicles and attach to them and whilst they blow, these adversaries are not given a long life. 
It took me mere hours to come up with this and I feel happy, activistic and pragmatic. Solution that doesn’t not require to heavily invest in anything worthy, let alone a terrorist group. And s the numbers pile up, I reckon that Iran will suddenly cry like a little girl, call everyone names and they can cry us all a river on Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC. Perhaps they find a sympathetic ear there.
So as I see it, Saudi Arabia can use these designs to get a working model, free of charge. Even though I would kindly ask that any oil requests from the Commonwealth will get a sympathetic ear. I am a commonwealthian after all. My mind came up with several other idea in the application of Claymore devices, as they are dropped from drones and as these drones need not be wasted, we can engage with stronger drones and leave a rather nasty red stain on wherever we engage these terrorists. I think that I used my time in a productive setting the hour. Time for me to watch some TV and consider playing a game or two in a few hours.

You all have a great day.

Days of our lives

Yes, that is the setting and it is like a drama, a soap and at times an inverted romcom where hate is the operative word. The Guardian (at https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/sep/10/china-huawei-trial-us) gave us today ‘China’s Huawei branded a criminal enterprise as tech firm’s US trial opens’ as such we see the accusation “A US prosecutor described China’s Huawei as a criminal enterprise that stole from US companies to build its telecommunications empire, as the trial against the tech company kicked off in Brooklyn federal court on Wednesday.” And as ‘the media’ labelled me as “pragmatic activist” (which made me feel like a million bucks) and this article let me be my activist self and I will throw some pragmatic sides to it.  

So when we are given ““Theft, lies, cover-up,” Taylor Stout, a trial attorney from the US Department of Justice, said in the government’s opening statement. “For 20 years, that’s how Huawei, a massive Chinese telecommunications company, victimized American companies and abused the American financial system, all in an effort to dominate the telecommunications industry around the world.”” I have had it with the United States. They lie, they cover up and as I see it, they steal. The lie? Well I can start with the 66 times that they defeated Iran, then there are the media analyses that frequently examine altered accounts of historical events, such as Trump’s top six falsehoods about 9/11 covering his whereabouts and observations and the list goes on. Then we come to the setting where we demand the evidence of wrongdoings by Huawei and we get a tirade of boasts and colorful language, but where is that list of a summary of wrongdoings? 

Then we get the cover ups. What was covered up? The cover up is as I saw it that the techno boys of the United States set on their bedsides allegedly overdosing on viagra and had their non-wives please them and they felt happy about it and that happened deep into the 2000’s in the meantime China ploughed along and created innovative technology, so innovative that a German intelligence officer told the Dutch Welle (I think) was the one that gave us “We do not understand that technology” it was that advanced and in 2020 Statista reported that countries who had Huawei showed us that they had download speeds of 377.2 Mbps whilst the US only had 52 Mbps. We can get all kind of reasoning, but the truth is that the United States is massively behind. (according to Statista) So then we get to the stealing part. So where are these 13 billions in Venezuelan oil revenue? So, recent reports and congressional investigations accuse President  Trump of taking or misusing money through classified document retention, cryptocurrency ventures, and blocked federal funds. And as such, we see Huawei getting accused of these acts? Whilst Huawei is showing the world the Matebook fold. 

It blows whatever Apple/Microsoft/Google has out of the water. That is not theft, they innovated over a year ago and they blew whatever the United States has out of the water, that is not theft that is innovation and (for the clarity of Taylor Stout) Innovation is “introducing a new idea, method, product, or way of doing things that creates fresh value” and it is something that Huawei has been doing for over a decade. And when we get the real list, a clear list of what was stolen from the United States business corporations, just pretend it is a Christmas list. 

So when we get to “Huawei conspired to steal trade secrets from five US companies, including operating system source code for internet routers from Cisco Systems and a robotic arm to test phones from T-Mobile, to gain an unfair competitive advantage and grow its business, the prosecutor told jurors.” I am not going into some ‘they would never do that’ part. Basically all corporations are alike and I reckon that Chinese firms are likely the same. But my resounding setting is that (at present) Huawei is the real innovator. Apple was innovative, Google likely is innovative at present and in my personally biased view Microsoft is basically a has been. Huawei has been pouncing the 4G and 5G settings and as I see it, those banning Huawei are likely shooting themselves in the foot. But I am not the real expert in these matters, but (as far as I can tell) the entire ‘anti-Huawei’ setting is brought on by the United States by there anti-Chinese sentiment. So as this trial is likely to represent an episode of Days of our lives, we need to see where this ends. Likely it will get really ugly as the United States is bleeding revenue all over the place and whilst we see “The U.S. federal budget deficit for fiscal year 2026 has reached approximately $1.8 trillion as of July, with total projections nearing $1.9 trillion to $2 trillion by the end of the fiscal year” and that is before ewe realise that their interest payment for over $1 trillion is likely due too. And in the setting we see that innovative Huawei is more than likely to take a chunk of market share from corporations in the USA. 

We can optionally debate if that is likely to happen, but the anti-USA sentiment is getting stronger in Europe, the Commonwealth and the Gulf States all whilst these places have a growing interest in Chinese deals. And as the article implies that we will get months and months of anti-China sentiments. All whilst the world has had it with the United States, as such these anti-China sentiments will not go far outside of the United States. And whilst we get the prosecution side of ‘legal grandstanding’ and there could be a pilot, a twist (I reckon that any drama setting running 62 seasons) will have a few plots, twists and cliffhangers. A setting we will see evolve over the next few weeks in the newspapers and these media romcoms called ‘News at 9’ (could be 7 or 8) I’ll end this story about Microsoft and their issue they had with Netscape in 1998, at what point did they label Microsoft as a criminal enterprise? Just asking.

Have a great day and enjoy the legal twists the news will be serving up in the next few weeks.

We need George Michael

That is the setting, I went out and dreamt up a game last night (it is now 06:07) and it is a tropical 10 degrees Celsius now (apparently I woke up with a sense of humour). So what happened? Well, it is partially based on Peter Molyneux’s Black and White, but only casually so. The game looks at something called Faith, you gotta have it and that gives away the title. The ‘land’ has villages. And these believers (or heathens) are in two camps. The believers of Hecate and the ‘others’ follow Sekhmet (I got your back auntie). But things are not as cut and dry as it looks. You see, you are bound by your follower, as such, it matters who the priest is (or Shaman if they follow Sekhmet). As such you need to pour your energy in the right people. Because your power defrays and it only refreshes when the village becomes dedicated to you, so you need to be cautious how you spend your energy. It is a whirlwind of supporting your own flock and harming the other flock. But harming the other flock does little for you, it merely stops the other from gaining their powers. 

After the introduction and the basics a third is introduced. The people that introduce whoring and gam bling. Yes you got it, the Christians. They tend to remove faith from both camps and settle in both lands. So as we see the influence of evangelists, the power of dedication that the price of your path and the shaman of the other team, we can see the interactions that come with it. But the game has a more mellow state and a longer running time per level. I wanted to take away the parts that made Black and White great (because it was a great game) and settle towards the interactions that these two settings have. And later the disruptions that the Christians brought, because they are that in this game, pure and simple disruptions.

Still the idea settled in my brain and whilst some parts might look a lot like Black and White, the execution does not. You do not set the entire village into ‘chanting’ around a wonder, or devoted to a giant turtle. It is basically getting the right person to advocate your power, which is harder, because you could have put your ‘trust’ in a snake oil salesperson, hurting yourself in the process a lot faster. There are still a few sides that my brain has to work out, but the setting was there right from the start. And as your village grows and takes turns, the priest of that town will settle into giving insights into another person who will settle an apothecary, or a doctor who will settle the village and making it healthy. As such it is not a negative setting, as healing is separated from superstition, the village becomes a lot healthier and they set the positivity of faith. So the dedicated mind is also a force of good, not the setting to take away mythology to create atheists. 

There are still a few sides to work out, but I think that this game might have a few upsides. The nice part is that it is not a call of duty action setting, but in all this I wanted it to be an educational tool, because as I see it, that side of education is often neglected. As some say “Mythology offers deep psychological and emotional positivity by providing a proper framework that foster resilience, a sense of belonging, and personal meaning” and I want that part to be set into the game, the psychological setting was too often ignored, but how to set this? As I see it, places like the herbalist (apothecary) sort these parts in motion (as well as resilience). Well will you look at that, another game finds itself uncovered. So as Microsoft announced it intent on limiting its 15 hour limit on cloud gaming and in September they announced 14 games and all but two could be played in the cloud. What a way to fight gaming education and I reckon that above those 15 hours it will cost the gamer plenty of drachmas. And my setting would need no additional funds (above the purchase of a game). So whilst we might entertain the ‘validity’ of their actions, I merely came up with more ways to keep the gaming community entertained and in that I claim the sold ground towards gaming pleasure. And they give the ‘nice’ setting of “As for what’s leaving, 11 games have been confirmed to depart in early September”, so what if there s one game in these 11 that you have revered for the longest time? Because if they were not that interesting, it was merely storage, so I am guessing that the impact is larger. Considering that some say that storage is $0.08 per GB, not that much of an impact, so I am guessing that the impact is a lot larger, but that is me, speculating. 

So at this point I end the article, perhaps there is another part coming, perhaps not, the idea is out in the open perhaps an indie developer sees the inkling of options that I am seeing and they will go with it. 

Have a great day today, for me its time to find my local dealer for coffee as my blood is depleted of caffeine at present.

Rage against the dying of someone

That is quite frankly what I am feeling. There is an absolute disgrace from what the Journalists tend to give us. And as I see it, it is a lot more then western media, although there is a fair chance that I am incorrectly seeing the stage. I get that, but when Al Jazeera gives us ‘Yemen fighting updates: Battles rage between Houthi and Saudi-backed forces’ there is already a discussion that needs to take place. One is a terrorist organization this would be the Houthi setting, the other is a government trying to keep its citizens safe and those are the Saudi backed forces. Then we see (at https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2026/9/8/yemen-fighting-live-battles-rage) the setting that is clearly (as I personally see it) in connection to Iranian ‘needs’. “Yemen’s Houthis targeted Aramco facilities in the Saudi Arabian cities of Abha, Najran and Jizan, as well as an airbase in Khamis Mushait, with ballistic missiles and drones.” Aramco is targeted because Iran made it so, not because Houthis decided it is. For that matter, can anyone tell me how Houthis got their hands on “ballistic missiles and drones”? As I see it, that small part is a little puzzle to me. The Houthi forces have no infrastructure to get that done. And for that matter as we take notice of “As Yemen experiences its most intense fighting in years, a new wave of child recruitment in the country is taking shape.” As I see it, it is Hamas all over again and for that matter any assistance given to Saudi Arabia is one that is clearly needed. And as I see it, the amputation of Iranian directions in the area of Houthi terrorists need to be dealt with. We can do whatever we want, but until that assistance is amputated from Houthi consideration the hostilities will remain and more than likely intensify. In the meantime, The Guardian (at https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/sep/08/houthi-strike-saudi-arabia-oil-facilities-middle-east-war-iran) gives us ‘Houthis strike Saudi Arabian cities in significant expansion of Middle East war’ where we see “Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis have attacked four cities in Saudi Arabia, wounding more than 70 people and setting oil installations ablaze in what appeared to be a significant expansion of the Middle East war. Saudi Arabia said it would retaliate after the overnight strikes – reportedly involving dozens of drones and missiles – that targeted several oil facilities in the country’s south.” So whilst there are a few sides to consider, I suddenly had a nice insight into a new IP, something that I nigh hand to Saudi Arabia, but I need to do a little more digging and whilst there is a nasty side effect to all this it might be a connected solution. You see, if oil is the issue, why not make Iranian oil worthless? It comes with the added setting that Saudi Arabia might have to sell all its oil to China, but that is a small price to pay and if that happens, Houthi terrorists no longer get Iranian backing and they have to go up against China then. The symmetric balance is yummy. The United States loses its Saudi oil, but they started the attack on Iran and in a massively idiotic sense, but I wrote about that failing several times from March 1st this year. So they get that complication, but it might not be a complication as President Trump stated on several events that they have plenty of oil. So lets test that setting.

And is it malice what I am proposing? No, not really. I am just keeping Saudi civilians safe. Which is a lot more than most non-Saudi’s have done up to now. So I am working with a decently weighed bat (as the expression goes). So what is this ‘super’ solution that no one can find? It is out there. I am proposing to inject the Iranian pipelines with Hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria and a lot of it, The part that I am still uncertain of is how much is needed. You see, if you put 6 injections of 100-500 liter of bacteria in different places of the pipelines will they reproduce? Or is is a mere temporary decrease in oil quality. Both are a damaging to the Iranian oil, but if they can grow in that setting, the larger Iranian oil collection will become inert and useless in a short time. When that happens their economy collapses as as their customers want their cash back and that is where China would need Saudi oil. When that happens Houthi terrorists stop getting any finding from Iran and they made China an optional enemy. I love the clean symmetry of that whilst the United States will claim ‘fowl’ and call themselves victims, they started this and President Trump made a claim of victory at least 66 times (according to sources). I personally never bothered to count these times. But another method that did not require bombing civilians, merely take their economic future away. I am sneaky that way. 

As such, if Iran doesn’t want this to happen, they will need to sever their ties with the Houthi terrorists, so that Saudi Arabia can deal with these terrorists. Look at me go, in one simple swoop I changed the balance of power in the Middle East and I did this on 5 drumsticks and a cup of coffee. I wonder what I could achieve by easting a decent dinner. 

But this are the delusional setting s we all face. What if I had a yummy dinner with Tiramisu and a Bambi burger? Some weird thoughts are with us all, nearly all the time. And I for one wonders why the United States never considered that. Are they now too broke that they need Iranian oil as well? A minus 40 trillion bank balance tends to do that. So whilst (according to Yahoo) we saw “President Trump posting on social media that oil prices will drop “when we WIN the war with Iran”” and that is the second part ofd the equation. What if they lose the war? As present the war has costed the U.S. government roughly $37.5 billion in direct military spending and a total economic and household costs exceeding $115 billion as such there is a decent chance that as Iran does not proclaim a loss against the United States and Israel, we can deuce that the US forces lost this one and as such Saudi Arabia needs a second plan to stop these terrorist actions. I came up with this, it deflates Iran, isolates Houthi terrorists and no physical ‘bombs’ dropped. I should be getting a Nobel peace price in the process.

Have a great day all.

Mirror, mirror

So, here I was thinking of a few historically documented events (they are called movies now), so in  1937 a man named Walt gave us the recollections of a girl who used to live with several  individuals, namely Warwick David, Peter Dinklage, Kenny Baker, Mike Edmonds, Malcolm Dixon, George Claydon and David Rappaport. They all worked in the mining industry. But then I saw this so called ‘evil person’ with a magic mirror and then I saw it, that bitch was a Technomage. She was using a magic mirror (aka raspberry pie fitted two way mirror) to set the stage. What an evil wench. Well, two can play that game and as the idea took hold of me, I starting to consider.

So what if a new place like Warner Brothers Abu Dhabi had this gimmick, a mirror that is also a communicator. It links to your mobile and allows two way communication with whomever you are talking to. The idea is to apply a filter (through the app) that gives it that magical shine. And taking the elements of Hogwarts, there are 4 options. Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin and Gryffindor, the all have the same filters except two, these are house driven. A smoky filter (Yellow, Blue, Green and Red) and now, as we are now 89 years later, we have basically mastered miniaturization and we can make it a lot smaller. I would argue that each house has two options, the mirror you can set on your desk and a smaller one that you can fit in a bag, and when you answer the call, the mobile sends it to the mirror. I would argue that you could have 4 buttons on the mirror so you can call your 4 best friends, optionally these buttons are on the frame, so that the buttons can be a little bigger and the 5th on the mirror initializes the call. Wouldn’t that gimmick (original ‘creator’ the evil bitch from Walt’s company) fit nicely in the arsenal of merchandise that could be created and there are a few months before the new TV series start and I reckoned that the Abu Dhabi park opens up either in that same time, but the article tells us that this part of WB will open I 2029, as such Miral (the operator in Abu Dhabi) has time to look at the the options to create this merchandise for real and create alternatives. Or, at least investigate whether this idea could be made real. And from there they could offer it to the Wizarding World for real. A small idea to hand to Miral is that the United States is almost out of cash, so handing them credit might not be the best idea. 

Well that is it for me and this idea came out of the yellow (I’m a Hufflepuffer). In other news Blooloop confirmed two days ago “Warner Bros. has confirmed that the Harry Potter area in its Abu Dhabi theme park will be the only one in the world to feature recreations of the iconic Hogwarts Castle and Diagon Alley locations, as well as a Forbidden Forest.

We got last week (1st September) when Warner Bros. released a teaser video for the expansion at its annual ‘Back to Hogwarts’ event.” The video can be seen (at https://blooloop.com/news/harry-potter-abu-dhabi-lands) so at present you know as much as I do, apart from the innovative ideas that are forming in my mind to upgrade the mirror setting. Oh, as we are also given (by Blooloop)“Currently, the only theme park home to a recreation of Diagon Alley is Universal Studios Florida. A scale model of Hogwarts is found in the neighbouring Islands of Adventure, and although it is connected to Universal Studios Florida by a replica of the Hogwarts Express train, it is a completely separate park.”

So that’s it for today and I need to think of another filter to make the mirror ‘more’ magical and why stop at 2? The idea to insert the house crest in your communication is also an idea and there is more. The idea to link the apps that you have to the mirror when you are not communicating, as such whatever app is on your mobile (like accio dobby) or whatever the app world has to offer now, just thinking out of the box.

Have a great day today.

Treason has many forms

This is the setting we have seen plenty of time and in all forms of situation. I scarcely wanted to believe what I saw, but the BBC might misrepresent things at times, but they never lie and as we see ‘Xbox caps cloud gaming at 15 hours a month for Game Pass subscribers’ is what I call pure treason. There is no question of funds, or limits and of settings as I personally see it and I am happy that I rejected the Xbox over 5 years ago. So as we see “Xbox is introducing strict monthly time limits for Game Pass subscribers who stream games online through its cloud gaming service.

The changes, which come into effect in November, will see a subscriber to the £16.99 Ultimate monthly plan able to stream games for up to 15 hours a month – before having to purchase additional cloud play time. Xbox said the limits were due to the rising cost of cloud gaming, and they would allow the firm to “continue to invest” in the service’s “reliability and performance”.” For reference I almost played 20-25 hours on my PS5 this Friday and Saturday. As such this limit would have been met within the first weekend of the month. So as we see “Asha Sharma, Xbox’s chief executive, told the BBC in an exclusive recent interview that the company and the industry as a whole needed to “start to innovate on affordability and efficiency,” amid a “crisis” in computing prices.” I think that this is not the whole story. Gamers are draining their AI token space setting and that needed to be culled (AI token space is perhaps not the best definition, but it is what I am working with) So what was once good is now no more. And for Xbox users (my personal view) is that this is a good reason to switch to another platform. We saw this setting in part when in 2012-2017 there was a trade agreement (I forgot the name and I can not find the article I wrote, I wrote over 4000 of them). But there was a setting where that agreement was setting in motion to take out 2nd hand games. In the last minute Sony gave a presentation where one Sony executive handed over the disc to another executive, all whilst Don Mattrick cut his fingers first in this. It was the end of him and Xbox. Now whilst we see that Sony is ending discs, Microsoft is setting in motion a transfer and trades from disc to digital. It is the beginning of the end, because when net neutrality ends, gaming is over, or you must be willing to pay for the plus hundred of hours a month and that will get expensive really fast. The stage I am unaware of is what will Nintendo do. We see the ‘Code in box” mentions, but that is not a guarantee that physical gaming is at an end.

There is no soft message from either Sony or Microsoft that is ever to be believed (like “We’ll sort something out” or “We will stand by you” that time is over and whilst there are options in a few ways there is no telling what 2027/2028 brings. And what is the betrayal of gamers (in my humble opinion?) It is the sentence that is embedded in the article “Both cloud gaming and AI use data centres to process information.” And as I see it, the noise around this (given below) is part of this.

And I have a problem with this. Microsoft insulated themselves by getting the IDC to ‘proclaim’ “By 2028, IDC predicts 1.3 billion Al agents will be embedded in enterprise workflows. The challenge is no longer adoption.” I personally think it should be in the meat section right next to the boloney. What data was used to give this prediction? Scare tactics to get into the AI agents or go under section? At present there are massive issues with the quality of technical support, customer care and a few other settings. As such there is no way that 1.3 billion AI agents will be used, unless you consider the AI agents cybercrimes set, is that an optional premise? There are massive issues all over the field, but as such Gamers can be cut from any agreement, because it is just not business. I haven’t figured out what disclose systems have to do with that, but usually limiting gamers is never good for the gamer. I am drawing in part a blank, but I have learned over the last few decades that it tends to be corporate greed, not corporate ability that limits a gamer. As such I would have to give my vote (for now) to Nintendo. But perhaps Sony wisens up in 2027, because that is where the hard numbers will take them. Microsoft is a lot cause, no doubt about it, but Sony could reset their systems. And yes, the PS6 is likely going to be more expensive. Fine. I have had my PS5 for years now and it has served my immensely. I would have that my optional PS4 will do the same. I still have my PS4 too. Some older games are still good and playable there. Not everything needs to port over (nice if it does, but reality tends to be different) and that is fine. Perhaps Bethesda will port more games and they might ask for a fee, I have no issues with that. I bought with great joy the remastered Oblivion and I never regretted that. Like some movies, you can upscale hardware, or you can get the 4K version. And so far that act has been amazing. As such I recon that players like Guerrilla Games might kick of the expanded Horizon 3 for the PS6 with Horizon 1 and 2 added and gamers will pay good money for that. It could become their most successful game ever. And lets not forget, that franchise game started on PS4 and it never, not once disappointed. There are more games and I reckon that Microsoft has its own champions there too. So at what point was it a good idea to stop disc-less  settings? If there is real truth in this agentic agents the need for Physical discs is clear, as such something does not add up. Perhaps I am not seeing it, but as I saw the treacherous sentence embedded in the BBC article, I got to think the worst of Microsoft (yes, it is possible for them to do worse) as such I reacted to that setting of gaming under a taximeter. And they know that, the average gamer spends 40+ hours a week gaming and that has been clear going pack to the original Xbox, so why the taximeter now?

And if this is the future of gaming, the disc-less setting starts making sense in a greedy corporate way, if it is storage for the PS6 games, there are other solutions (like two discs, one for installation) and gaming on the second disc. This has been done before but as I see it, the net neutrality is about to hand us gamers a bitter defeat and the rural gamers will be hit twice over. We need to do something and I am puzzled as to what could be done. 

So back to the BBC article. We are also given “Jez Corden of Windows Central told the BBC the announcement showed that “absolutely nothing is safe from the AI-driven component crisis,” but he added it also highlighted “where Microsoft’s priorities are”.” And that is fine, but it also implies that Microsoft is deserting their gamers all for fake AI, because that is the silliest part, all AI is fake and when you consider the works of Alan Turing you will get that this world is not ready for anything real. The computers lack several components and when they have these components it is only for billionaires. Im not a billionaire and I reckon you aren’t either. There is more but that is well over a decade in the future, but these things are done now, as such we see people chasing phantoms in a system that doesn’t allow ghosts. What a funny situation.

So what kind of treason is self-delusion? Because that is also treason and people can say that it is all open me, that I am committing treason against myself. But consider what has happened and what is happening at present. I believe that I am right, even though I have a few banks on Microsoft, but I dumped that system years ago, so I do not care, but gamers have embraced the Xbox and gamers I care about. They can change system, but not everyone has that kind of cash, because the days of the $299 Atari 2600 are over. Today you need serious cash to embrace gaming and that is where the truncation starts. The lack of options. I gave an option to Saudi Arabia and I hope they embrace this setting, because they could gain billions of gamers and there is still the steam-deck, I never had one, because Sony made me happy, but there is a new wave forming. I merely hope it is a Japanese setting and not an American setting, because they are going from bad to worse. And there is still the Nintendo. 

All choices and we must make up our minds. I merely hope that Sony comes to their senses (or better inform us) before December 2027. Have a great day and if needed find a console that doesn’t need a taximeter to play games. I just had an idea, what if SEGA relaunches his Dreamcast? They had plenty of really good games. Its just an idea.

Realisation

I just got back from a journey, the reason for this is that I stored a glitch (could be a bug) in my safety deposit box in the city of Nottelling. Perhaps I act on it, perhaps not, it is the second bug I find in an Apple. This is the first one I found in my MacBook Air and I only discovered it after a year of operating this baby in over a year. I never had it in my previous one, but I might not have had this situation before. The first one was a decent bug (very unflattering, but true) in my original G5, there you get the setting that if your FireWire Camera is connected, the firewire connection of your iPod classic will always fail (and that bugger gets hot, really hot) still, I got my optional second bug found. 

So what is up today? 
Well, I was watching a 4K movie of exploring the great Pyramids of Giza when an idea hit me. You see, these 4K movies tend to have a lot more to show than you think and I saw one of Herculaneum and Pompeii recently and when watching this now is when it hit me. What happens when these movies are used to prototype in almost near completion gaming levels? And as it is based on 4K, the details are uncanny. And there are plenty of 4K movies out there. Rome (that village in Italy, famous for its Caesars, Pretorians and Roman soldiers (aka the Italian army), greek places and more modern the settings of places that are out and abundant in the world. The idea is that you have a decent map (optionally a little crude) and the 4K movie is fit over the map and as such the gaming stages (also for education and VR) are mapped out. We then get to the nitty gritty of it all, but when you get some of these movies they are from 75%-90% complete. And that could go a long way into the prototyping of these places and I reckon at a fraction of the cost, because once this system works you can produce place after place and most of these 4K movies are all around us. A player could contact the maker to see if they have any other materials (not published ones) and that could get a map up to 95%-98% completely prototyped. 

And there is no limit to the educational setting of these places. You merely have to look at what these archaeologists have now and what they paid for it to see that these 4K movies of tourists could be the marker in several ways. The stage of Life in Herculaneum (it was a a mere 10km from that hill called Vesuvius) and over time we have had loads of places like Knossos (Crete), Machu Picchu (Peru) and also the not so ancient ones (Buenos Aires, London, Munich) and so on. Whether it is prototyping for education or gaming, the system remains the same and whilst you can verify how much time Ubisoft spend on prototyping Jerusalem for Assassins Creed, Florence for Assassins Creed 2 or Rome for AC Brotherhood and then take the eating of filling in the places from 4K movies and I reckon that you will get a massive saving for game creation (and education too) there is little doubt in my mind that should someone travel this new route, their projects will be completed a lot faster and optionally a lot cheaper than anything else. So consider the setting you get when these ancient times are used to fill levels of Call of Duty, Battlefield or whatever shooting game is now the hottest ticket out there, prototyping these places could be costly as such there is an idea that could send gaming not new direction at a decent reduction of costing.

And that is before you take a gander in some of the hottest places to kill your targets in someplace amazing like Harrods or the Mall of America Bloomington. Considering the optional costs that the game Blacklist required (the level with that enticing Christmas song), now consider what the cost of that level were, compared to walking through a mall with a 4K camera and getting that level prototyped in almost no time and I use prototyped here, because there will always be level based ‘adjustments’ needed. 

So whilst I bid you a jolly farewell and wishing you a lovely day, I will return to my trusty PS5, optionally grumpy over Sony statement ‘Sony argues it’s already obvious that digital games aren’t owned by consumers’, is that so Mr. Sony. Then why are digital games more expensive than physical ones? If someone looks at the cost of a digital game versus a physical one, even in a day one setting, the digital one tended to be a lot more expensive. As such there is nothing obvious about that, being that the game is owned after you downloaded that and as I see it, this setting is depending on a changing setting around digital laws and I reckon that they were fearful of losing against Microsoft on the past, but as they is now no longer a threat, they are no longer fearful of the future. As such we could wait on what the God of War series and Horizon series will do because the world is a massive fan of these two, but if these two makers (optionally Bethesda too) decide another path not aligned with Sony, Sony will have its hands full holding onto the fans they have. I am in a city, but I am fearful what the non-city dwellers face, because it will take up to 5 years (if ever) before they have a workable solution. And losing this much fellow gamers is not my cup of tea. But that is a story for another day. I have done my bit for gaming, gamers, education and educators today, so I feel decently happy.

Enjoy your day of gaming, if only for a little while.
