Drowning

That is how it feels, so I also changed subject mid article. The drowning feeling is the setting that people do not have time to play a dozen games. It gets worse, they never did have that time. Even students need to reserve time for non-gaming intent. In 2027 dozens of games are being released for almost every console. I would get it if there is a mere 4-6 games in 2027 and I get it that not every game is for everyone. I am not a GTA player and many others are. So consider that you have GTA6 and a dozen other games to play. How many games will you actually play in 2027? And that is disregarding some other games that are getting rereleased. It seems like they are all in the understanding that every game is getting played, but the population of each game will vary. I’ll make it ‘worse’ There are decent AAA games coming up, but I would put them aside to see Bethesa’s Fallout 3 on the PS5 (if it comes there), we all have out personal priorities. And this setting is getting weird. In the ‘old’ days we all had our CBM Amiga and Atari ST, some people had a playful PC, but there were three systems. Then the Nintendo and PlayStations were added and some games were released on every console, because it offered them all the game play they got and that is OK. But now ‘everyone’ wants to go into gaming, because the market states that there is “The global video game market is estimated to reach $367.9 billion in 2027, according to industry forecasts” and they all want a part of that slightly over $365 billion dollars, that’s a billion a day. But until we see the granularity of that data we realise that the young people asked the question get to hear that they want to play EVERYTHING and that comes with two setbacks. The first one is they don’t have that kind of time and the second part is that they (or their parents) cannot afford all that. And that number is ‘tainted’ with advertisement revenue ‘hidden’ in mobile gaming. This is my speculation, not my understanding.

No matter how we look at it, there is a rather rough frontal hit between gaming and revenue hitting. I still believe that Bethesda is in a good place, they created a massive following (before they became a Microsoft product) and now? Microsoft started the doubt, because they wanted everyone on the Microsoft console. By creating that doubt I decided to put my gaming IP free to all non-Microsoft developers. Let’s call that ‘directed’ discrimination. The funny part is that if Microsoft objects, it means that they spend around $100 billion to non producing companies. It makes them looking like a failure (a bonus I like) if they want to buy it, I get paid. Two directions I like, even though I like Sony buying my IP a lot better, an elderly man needs to pay their debts and pay for the lollies to make him enjoy life in the sun on a porch of balcony. But as I see the amount of people ‘making’ their gaming solution I do not feel drowned out. I know the expertise I gained over 40 years. But these massive amount of firms are going to get a real reality check soon enough and I reckon that this will be in 2027. To see anyone do decent in an age of GTS6, God of war: Laufey, Tropico 7, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, Fable is massively delusional. And that is before the ‘real’ RPG’s come out. If you think that you are making a decent penny, the only option is to make a mobile game and hope for the payout of the advertisement revenue it brings.

Change the routine

Yup, that was enough of gaming (for now) you see energynow.com is giving us ‘Canada to Fast Track Oil Pipeline Designed to Diversify Economy Away From US’ we see (via Reuters) the setting “Canada will fast track the approval process for a new proposed crude oil export pipeline to its west coast that could generate over C$20 billion ($14 billion) a year in GDP, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Thursday.” Which bluntly means that the United States is using additional revenue, and gaining the loss of oils. Good news for Canada, and optionally EU as well, because in this way they are gaining an oil route. So whilst we are given ““A pipeline to the west coast is part of our mission to transform our economy, to double our non-U.S. exports over the next decade… (and) to unlock our full potential as a global energy superpower,” he told reporters in Fort McMurray, hub of Alberta’s oil sands industry.” I personally fully support this, this administration shows the world what happens when you become the slave of banks and the interest that is due and I don’t believe that the democrats will do any better in that regard. The debt of $40,000,000,000,000 will suffocate any budget as close to 30% is needed to pay the annual interest and it will merely get worse. I feel no sympathy for that, I told them this situation over 25 years ago. As early as world animal day (October 4th 2021) I wrote ‘Utter insanity’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2021/10/04/utter-insanity/) I gave the setting and now the debt is over 250% more. So whilst we see the United States coming up with the Trump blame, a better kind of trump card. The setting was a lot older. He definitely didn’t help matters. So whilst some will say the United States is unbeatable, it will get better. Consider that all fake AI is not the golden egg. Consider that the world is catching on the the markets took a $2.4 trillion dollar hit, all wiped out. And when the few conifer that there is a market for predictive analytics, they will survive and some papers stated that AI has not brought any revenue to most of them. Now consider these losses whiles commodities are now largely ‘seemingly avoiding’ the United States. Some through hostilities of weapons (Iran) some through hostilities of politics (Canada) and all that, they called it ‘Cheap oil’ is vacating to different shores. So now the United States has Brent Oil and it has one price, one price for all. As such the United States is likely to be a lot less mobile in the next three-five years.

So where do these lost revenues go to? They will get to a stage where the The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will be more powerful than the United States Department of Defense and its 5 sided building (Pentagon). You think I am kidding? Think again.

Have a great day today.

Off topic

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

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

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

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

What was that word?

There is a word that is usually ‘connected’ to shortcomings. Or perhaps more ‘clinical’ is the explanation “the amount by which something is less than what is required, expected, or earned” and it can take many forms. In humor (the kind that Jimmy Carr uses), “I aided my partner in assisted suicide. I threw her in a wood chipper, she was too scared to do that herself”, and depending on that nations laws, assisted suicide is accepted. Then we get less than was expected “That pinky thingy is nothing like the  nine inches you promised me”, which can have all kinds of reasons and there is less then earned which we get from Money.CA (at https://money.ca/news/economy/us-tourism-deficit-canada-travel-bill) where we see ‘First U.S. tourism deficit since 1999 hits nearly US$14B — and Trump’s trade representative now backs a bill to entice Canadians back’,  US bill to entice Canadians back? This I have to see. Even the Baron Munchausen couldn’t weave a story that enticing and that man has experience weaving stories. So as we are given “The U.S. travel sector ran a trade deficit of nearly US$14 billion last year as millions of Canadian travelers took their vacations elsewhere. It was the sector’s first deficit since data collection began in 1999, according to a report from Democrats on Congress’s Joint Economic Committee cited by Nevada Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto.” You see over a year ago in ‘Honey and ladders’ (https://lawlordtobe.com/2025/07/05/honey-and-ladders/) I gave the world (the world that reads why blog) ““Amid the president’s immigration crackdown, travel bans and sweeping global tariffs, the U.S. is expected to be the only one out of 184 countries to see foreign visitor spending fall in 2025, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council.” With the addition of “The study suggests that the U.S. economy is on track to lose $12.5 billion in international spending this year alone – but the actual shortfall might be much greater.”” So I gave that over a year ago and now we see that the first tourism deficit hits nearly $14B, I think I called that rather neat over a year ago and I reckon that until deep into 2035 that is not change, the deficits will come and come and come. So now we get “Now, Washington D.C. is trying to lure those travelers back. Last July, U.S. Trade Rep. Jamieson Greer told a Senate committee he’d fully support a bipartisan bill aimed at boosting travel with Canada and Mexico. He agreed the decline in tourism is problematic and would support the proposal “100%,” according to the Las Vegas Sun.” Apart from the fact that I personally see Jamieson Greer to be part of the problem and not of any solution, but that might be my shortsighted part in this. So whilst we get that “A travel trade deficit means Americans spent more on trips abroad than international visitors spent in the U.S. The U.S. ran a travel surplus in 2024, but in 2025 it flipped to a multibillion-dollar deficit. Canadians were a major part of that decline. In 2025, Canadian-resident return trips from the U.S. fell 25.4%, according to Statistics Canada (StatCan). That capped an 11-month streak of year-over-year declines the agency calls the deepest and most sustained on record outside the pandemic. Leisure visits to the U.S. dropped 21.5%, or 3.2 million visits, and Canadians’ spending on U.S. trips fell by CA$3.3 billion to CA$18.8 billion.” I think that the main reasons comes much closer to home. That person labelled the Clown of the United States (no idea who they are talking about) comes with 51st state mentions, calling Canadian exploiters, all whilst the trouble is south of the Canadian borders and Mexicans agree, in summer, Canada is a friendly place (in winter too, but they find solid water weird and hinkey. To each their own I say and I get that Mexico do not appreciate clothing they can only wear on vacation. Luckily for me I never have to because even as a hockey fan our water tends to be fluidic at best (more a Summer Mcintosh than a Brooke Mcintosh element) but that is the limitation we work with and to be honest even as a non-swimmer I could (hopefully) best Brooke Mcintosh in water with her skates on. And lastly we see “There are practical hurdles too: Canadians who stay in the U.S. longer than 30 days must now register with the U.S. government.” I wonder if it is just Canadians or all visitors, because in the age of data centers the bulk of the people in the Commonwealth, EU and for that matter Asian and the gulf states as well, are not to fond of handing their data to the United States, especially if they are merely on vacation. Then there is the Bond issue Consular officers determine the required bond amount—$10,000, $15,000, or $20,000—at the time of the visa interview and we can do so much with that money, like buy a complete Mac Pro in the UAE (as it is a zero tax country) for that matter and their visas are around $75 for 30 days. And as tourism is becoming a killer aspect, any trip to the United States should score ultra low on anyones agenda, especially as the quality of fun of a trip to Abu Dhabi and Dubai could outdo whatever the United States hands you. In the entire article, I merely have one setting that I do not agree with “Canadians continue to have a strong appetite for travel, but they’re being thoughtful about where they go and how they spend their money,” she said. “The United States remains an important destination for winter getaways, cruises and visits with family and friends.” The element visit family and friends remain, the rest is doubtful. Europe has plenty of winter getaways and some say (I have never been on any winter vacation) that the French Alps are to be experienced to be believed. Which is fine, but two years ago, most of those fields were a little absent of snow. There are those who think that Canada is the exquisite experience but there I must be cautious, because he queues around mount Whistler (somewhere north of Vancouver) are a little bit of a downer and then there is China who has its snow fields, it has several and I merely mention one of them “Chongli (Hebei Province), The co-host zone for the winter games near Beijing, featuring major infrastructure at resorts like Wanlong Ski Resort, Genting, and Thaiwoo” (source: skiresort.info) as said, I have never been on a winter vacation although I have been sort of Skiing in Switzerland and Sweden (but I keep to ‘sort of’) because my knowledge on these contraptions could be measured with a thimble.

Here is one in case you are unaware what that is.

Well, so whilst we see (some with humour) that the United States is going in deficit more and more, as such it will teach them to call my Canadian brethren part of the 51st state and a few less appealing things. And as a premium effort, let me introduce Canadians to the options of the UAE, in particular Abu Dhabi and Dubai, which could both be seen as they are a mere hour away from one another. I would advice to stay in Abu Dhabi with all its parks and entertainment and take the train 2-3 times because Dubai is a place to see for yourself. Feel free to doubt me, but there are loads of videos on both places on YouTube, so see for yourself. Never believe any source without looking at the evidence and a vacation wherever you go is still capturing your fee time, as such you should see what you are in for. And for Canadians there is a bonus. It is Visa-Free Entry for Canadians. You receive a 90-day visa on arrival free of charge, which can be used within a 180-day period (either continuously or across multiple visits), that beats US travels on an expensive bond any day of the week and that is how the United States priced themselves out of a tourism race. Its like watching a Chevrolet Chevette Diesel going up against that dinkey toy that Lewis Hamilton drives (I think it is a Ferrari Rocher) but I think my point comes across nicely. I thought the American version was too Crass (entering a gunfight with a blackjack) So you have a great day all and in good taste like all Commonwealthians say “Lets add to the deficit of the United States” they earned it.

Have a great day today, as it is Halloween.

Not the 7 dwarves

So, Mining (dot com dot AU) give us a few hours ago that ‘Canada-UAE pact broadens critical minerals access’, as such that is good news for Canada and optionally making the employment  lines reasonably shorter. But the working together between Canada and the UAE also means that (according to France Pinzon) “The Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), signed on 27 October, will eliminate or reduce tariffs on more than 99% of current Canadian exports to the UAE. It is also intended to address non-tariff barriers and establish more predictable trade and investment conditions. The agreement is expected to enter into force in 2027, subject to the countries completing their respective approval processes” it is just another setting where the world is giving a clear signal that in these matters the United States is no longer a party of interest to them and Canada is playing right not these settings for the people of Canada (aka Canadians) but it goes deeper. Canada has its ire minerals and the UAE just got a real deal whilst ‘some’ (we will not go into who) has its own tariff tables and Canada is giving the UAE a deal where Canadian are mostly nullified and in some cases severely reduced. This opens up all kinds of investments for the UAE. And in that trend we see that “The UAE has also committed to invest up to US$50 billion ($71 billion) in Canada across industries including mining, energy, and AI, according to Reuters. The agreement forms part of Canada’s broader push to expand its critical-minerals relationships in the Middle East. In July, Canada and Saudi Arabia announced more than C$1 billion ($1.08 billion) in commercial agreements spanning mining and other sectors, as reported by Mining.com.au.” As such, the message is clear. No matter how some are advertising their place as a big beautiful country, others see this differently and seek deals elsewhere, which was the only thing that PM Mark Carney needed to hear and this is a near fact now (and the ink of the agreement is still drying). And as we are being told “The UAE agreement builds on an investment protection pact that entered into force in May and an earlier commitment to pursue cooperation across responsible critical-minerals value chains”, which, as I see it makes perfect sense and in light of the projects that the UAE is developing (an example is Abu Dhabi where it is developing a $1.4 billion lithium-processing facility and driving demand for high-performance materials like neodymium oxide and dysprosium oxide to support aerospace, electric mobility, and clean energy under Operation 300bn.) so there would be space for Canadian miners and engineers to be deployed in the near future, as such (as noted by the BBC) “Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s economic platform focuses on reducing reliance on U.S. trade, fast-tracking major infrastructure projects, and reforming domestic industries”, so whilst we were given 9 hours ago ‘Building Canada Strong for the Next Ten Years’, it seems that Prime Minister Carney didn’t waste a second on that and this setting alone could be the start of the aforementioned “The UAE has also committed to invest up to US$50 billion ($71 billion) in Canada across industries including mining, energy, and AI, according to Reuters.”

So unlike that politician in the United States who makes claims (like defeating Iran 60 times), the

Canadian Prime minister is showing results and as I see it, this deal is as important for Canada as it is for the UAE. A real partnership (as I see it), a true Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement. I wonder what will happen next, because this is showing a real promise in the EU, the Commonwealth and China and there is no way these places will let this slide by without giving it the attention it deserves. Because that shows the increased enablement of Abu Dhabi and that will show its economic benefits a few times over. Its like ringing the bell saying, we have a larger ability to work, play and live and that is a very enticing prospect for anyone looking for a job. And personally I wonder why (better state ‘if’) Australia is making gains on a partnership in this with PM Mark Carney, because I am Australian and it would make sense for the Commonwealth to work together on these projects. Not that Canada has any commitment other than the Canadian people. The idea that there is a second tier in this, keeping more away from the United States tends to make sense of this. But the is merely my thoughts on the matter.

No matter what happens, as I see it Canada has this win squarely in its hands and we should cheer for our Canadian brethren (but that might merely be me). Have yourself a wonderful day today.

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.

Duress ignored

That is what is happening, it might merely be me, but in the first setting we see duress which means being forced to do something against your will through illegal threats, physical pressure, or intimidation. I spoke about that and the Republican Party seemingly thrives on that. And I spoke about that two days ago (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/10/03/myopia-ahead/) in the story ‘Myopia ahead’ I gave the setting on the shortsightedness of it all and now we see: “The U.S. international tourism market is facing a severe and compounding decline, on track to lose another 2 million overseas visitors by the end of 2026. This downturn follows a massive slump where visitation plummeted by 4 million to 11 million travelers (depending on how regional data like Canadian land borders are tracked), marking a 5.5% volume drop. According to data from the U.S. Travel Association, the United States has earned the unique, troubling distinction of being “the only major country in the world losing visitation” during a broader global tourism boom.” (Source: U.S. Travel Association and a few more), so as it just ended the FIFA world cup, the numbers (as reliable as I am aware of) gives us that New York City hotels that anticipated $150 million in World Cup revenues slashed their projections to just $60 million. That is a disastrous setting. And that is merely the hotels, the true picture which we might never see under this administration could be a lot worse. So whilst we consider Macroeconomic, we see “The Spending Deficit: International inbound spending shrank by over $8.4 billion.” (Source: CNN) and when we look at “When measured against original growth projections, Tourism Economics calculates that the U.S. will have forgone roughly $39.6 billion in international travel revenue.” Those are little rounding errors, this is a setting from which the United States will not recover in just a few years and in the meantime I see advertisements on TV and YouTube given us that we should take our next vacation in the United States. You don’t mind that I stand next to Canadians and say “No, thank you” and it is coming a global setting. The top line statistics are giving us: 

  • Canada: Canadian land border crossings and air arrivals plunged by 20% to 21.8%. This represents a pullback of over 4 million visitors from Canada alone.
  • Western Europe: Arrivals dropped 8.8% over the year, highlighted by sharp double-digit downturns out of Germany (-12% to -13%) and France (-7%).

This is huge and after NBCUniversal poured around $7 billion to $7.7 billion USD, these are not the numbers they are looking for and which Abu Dhabi gong full steam ahead on their parks, the bad news will keep on coming in 2027.2028 and 2029. In the bright side, for NBCUniversal it is all tax deductible, but for the US Administration it is bad news upon bad news. And as the setting seemingly goes, that good news will not turn into anything positive whilst President Trump is in power. It is bad news generated through shortsightedness and as I see it stupidity. 

And CNN reports “Republicans are defending territory they never expected to be at risk four weeks before Election Day, as President Donald Trump implores voters not to desert his party with the promise of more cash giveaways. A top White House adviser, meanwhile, argued Sunday on CNN that “partisan pollsters” are wrong that voters are hurting financially — a message that suggests a disconnect between the country and a president who boasts of an economic “golden age.”” As I see it, it is merely disaster upon disaster, you see when the EU members are looking towards digital ownership and the larger setting of national identity. As such these nations are deciding that Microsoft is out and so are the other ‘vendors’ of servers and as such we see that these nations are all about the national safety and that will happen in a short way, whilst all these vendors are out, the commercial setting alters, leaving them with even less money. So as Australia is now under teeth gnarling setting that will be picked up by the largest players in the Commonwealth we see “An experimental OpenAI AI agent gained unauthorized access to non-public files on Australian government systems, including the Services Australia Medicare statistics portal and NSW National Parks data, during training in June 2026”, my personal view is that this is BS (you know that stuff that makes grass grow in Texas) and when the population wakes up to the fact that there is no AI and that is is all predictive analytics, the question come out and that sets up a whole different wave of data, merely adding to the bad news. But as I see it, America thinks hat they will be alright because the President said that the golden age of AI is here. When that little light of falsehood blinks out, the rest of the bad news (likely in 2027) comes out and that is where digital rights will be all over the board and that will cost the United States, billion going into Trillions and that us all there is. How fortunate that I saw this two years ago, how the mighty fall. I feel sorry for two vendors Google and Oracle. Oracle will take a hit, but will continue, Google will be forced to alter its placement in all this and decide what software solution they will embrace whilst let their customers continue and until there are some massive chances to the U.S. CLOUD Act (Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act) is a 2018 federal law that allows U.S. law enforcement to compel U.S.-based technology companies to produce requested electronic data wherever it is stored. And that will end Google to some extent. They won’t go broken but there data branches will face devaluation, oracle is in the same boat, but as their services are largely hardware based they will get a push and through there they will face the options of continuation. 

Microsoft? No idea and I don’t care, but they will face devaluation a little over two trillion (my personal speculated view). So whilst President trump did away with the threat, the G7 has a less optimistic view as such Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom are speculatively now looking into their own ways of blackmail and Tourism is a huge option. With the relaxed settings of the UAE and optionally Saudi Arabia too are now vying for the tourist settings and whilst Canada is now likely to get a real boost for winter games, those who prefer summer settings have the UAE and Saudi Arabia and as the UAE started the trains between Abu Dhabi and Dubai last month, they will get a massive share of that it is a trip that could be done in a little over an hour and as such plenty of tourists will go for that. Especially as it is a mere AED 39 (=$10) for Comfort class and the idea of having a vacation in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi is growing appeal in the EU (as well as the Commonwealth).

So whilst people think I am nuts, the data shows that I am correct and the better part is that others are seeing the same thing, as such investors are shying away from the United States and putting their money in Canada, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. And we are already seeing this as The Financial Post is giving us “Canadian investors sold a record $31 billion in U.S. shares by mid-2026, with over half of asset managers planning further reductions to rebalance home bias and focus on domestic opportunities.” Didn’t they call me crazy on that last month? So blow after blow is coming to the United States and all this as Q4 is only beginning, but this administration will give us some debatable setting soon enough and whilst we see another threat against Iran, as we are told that he may ‘blow up’ Iran, which makes me wonder if he has enough missiles left for that but I have no idea how many missiles the United States has. And the down by the ground me (silly me) am considering that U.S. produces about 1.7 missiles per day (roughly 620 a year) and in some cases (like the Tomahawk) its current output is roughly 0.25 to 0.5 missiles per day (about 90 to under 200 a year) and as The U.S. military fired over 850 Tomahawk cruise missiles during the first four weeks of the war with Iran, they will need 4 years to get back up to scrap. Simple equations and simple arithmetic shows that his threats are merely that, the bellows of a windbag 

(as some say), so when we ignore the duress, we see a United States that is no longer able to defeat Iran who is 16th on power scale and it is losing money in several directions, as such the replenishment of its infrastructure will take a massive hit as well. And whilst the international tourists are taking another direction. The dialogue the United States used to have with others falls away as well. As such we can ignore the duress because the United States doesn’t have anything else at present or nearly anything else. And now that nation is becoming the clear and present dangers of early all others allies it once had and whilst it thinks it can bully us all, we are learning that a bully is the weakest opponent of all, because I relies on the figment of what it once was. 

Merely a simple view I am holding, it might be wrong, t might be right. I will leave it up to you.

TradeDelicious

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

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

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

Defining that new game

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Have a great day today.

The delusion express

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

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

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

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

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

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

Have a great day today.

A really crazy idea

That was where I found myself. After I have heard another dodo (an idiotic individual ripe for extinction) haven a go at me for these military IP’s, a thought came to me. Don’t get me wrong if these people were DARPA quality people, there would be a decent acceptance of that criticism. But they never amount to that. So an idea came to me and I honestly looked into a mirror and handed myself the most evil of smiles (just to check if I could pull that off) and I did. You see, at present the overwhelming part of the planet actively hates the United States and the Karen’s and ICE it houses. So people from Mexico, Canada, the larger Commonwealth and the larger EU actively hates Americans and I thought, why not cash in on this?

So we need a stage, the stage is Paris (because I can chose wherever I can stage a game) and the ‘culprits’ are the people that the United States have hurt (taken advantage of) for the 80’s and 90’s and they create a division something like a secret clandestine branch of the CIA known as Section 9, Department 17, but it is not the CIA, this CIA part was given in the Three Days of the Condor (that movie with Robert Redford) this is a technology think tank and it houses people from Netscape, developers from Japan who worked on Betamax (destroyed by US marketing for VHS) and that list could go on for some time and they see their way (like developers at Huawei) all destroyed by US greed needs. And so this think-tank called European Strategy Settings (aka ESS) is set into action. You now get two sides. First is to ‘acquire’ books that the gaming system hands you and these are real books (they exist) and these books are set into action and they go through development. But there is a catch here. These development costs could add up to a larger extent. So, you need to be careful what you choose, you might get nearly a dozen books before you can act on anything. So when you do you co for setting two. Setting two is implementation. Where you can go against the USA, harbours, infrastructure and all kinds of targets and your revenue is seen as 5% of the losses set against the USA. These ‘unnamed’ parties will dump that amount into Swiss bank accounts and undisclosed bank accounts in the Bahamas or some places like that. So you can come up with long term strategies that cost the USA bundles each month (and giving you 5% of all losses incurred) and from there you can go to bigger brighter (and to name a unique person) ‘more beautiful targets’ and here there is no going back. And as the map of the USA is showing the losses they are getting your value goes up.

It is a simple game with two stages and optionally a third stage. I haven’t figured out the gaming part of adding a Call of Duty event, but I did get to the setting of adding movies and a Final Destination part to release horror on the people of the United States and I think I deserve my day of sunshine for that. The realisation that Pew Research Centre states that “49% is holding an unfavorable view of the USA” that gives me an implied population of 3.9 billion people who actively hate the United States. I reckon I can find that at least 20% as a gaming population, which gives me over 720 million gamers and that is a slice of gaming heaven that I could address with this. So as we go through the books (and fake AI is pretty good at mulling over data it has) there would be plenty of books that could be set into motion. So then we get the underlying setting of analyzing those books (also fake AI drive) and that gives us the stage of gaming. So you find up to 20 books that needs evolution and there is a gaming setting, because this game relies of gained revenue, so there is a side to the decision making process. Then you get the development of these ‘weapons’ and that is also done in the game, but the game decides and it has a large database of settings but the it also relies on time, because every weapon relies on timed development and that gives you the setting that infrastructure weapons (like hacking modules) have less cost and less time, but they are easier to counter. And as the game goes into that part we have a few ideas (but I haven’t worked out the details yet) and this is in short and sweet the idea that floated in my mind. So, what is wise? There is enough to get this into a mobile game and China has billions invested in mobile gaming and I tend to go where the market is, as such the Chinese will readily accept this setting. With a population of 69% to 70% (around 985 million to 990 million people) being of a working age and they would like nothing better to show them how much hurt they put on the USA, I reckon that even 10% of them gives us almost 100 million gamers. And that is a lot better than Skyrim ever had. So we have to thank President Trump for getting the world so against the United States (I am a big fan of Irony). But the setting was gained in a mere day, well, actually just a few hours and this is how real creativity works and it comes from adjusting ideas and form them into a new setting. 

So whilst some will think it is a silly (read: stupid) idea, consider that 1.4 billion Chinese might not think it so stupid and that is where we get the revenue we all crave (I am no different) and that is where gaming takes us to the unknown corners of the mind and as a lot of this is ‘pampered’ by AI engines, it will merely take a DeepSeek app to get the materials we need and shape it into the gamingDB of this game and as it is merely feeding the game aggregated results, there is no objection (apart from the United States) and the gamers want a genuine high score. Doesn’t that setting suck for the United States?

A mere idea that is as crazy as it sounds, but that is what they said about penicillin in 1928. 

Have a great day all, time for some carrots and rice for me today.
