It’s starting to happen.

This is a decently great day for me. The BBC, gave me ‘news’ that shows that I was right all along (one of many times), of course that is a debatable setting, but it comes with benefits for me. You see, on November 9th 2024 I wrote ‘The easy lesson’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2024/11/09/the-easy-lesson/) and some disagreed, some always do. But I saw the potential of that device and I wrote about it, I also gave the direct setting that Ubisoft could benefit greatly from this. Now the BBC (at https://www.bbc.com/reel/video/p0mjvr33/experience-life-aboard-the-titanic-like-never-before) shows us all a different approach to that same solution. It allows the people to see life abroad the Titanic (that one that sank in 1912) and it looks nice and spiffy, I think it could be better, but this might have been a beta. I reckon that under Unreal Engine 5 it becomes truly magic, but that takes serious cash to develop and that might have been out of reach (for now), but the important part is that this is being implemented now. After Apple lost his marbles and thoughts for innovation, Meta with the Meta Quest 3 is all that remains and they have the setting to sweep the board. I reckon that they will optionally make a few side ventures or buy the Stadia, but then the entire solution will be under the hands of Meta (say: Facebook) a setting I saw a year ago and now as things are starting to move, those claiming to be innovators are left in the rubble of their own spin. As I see it, it is about to become a clear win for Meta and others could benefit too.

They merely need to talk to Ubisoft and see what is possible, and that comes with a massive influx of revenue, so whilst all the winner (soon to be losers) are aiming for AI, other settings are developing and they are left in the field looking for their golf balls in the mud. So whilst others are trying to reinvent the wheel, there are a small numbers of people who are starting actual innovative waves.

People like Karl Blake-Garcia are setting new boundaries. Personally I never thought of the Titanic in that way and that makes it wondrous. Others are on the same shoes as I am, but see different applications and that is fantastic. In that meantime He saw the idea of a ship and he might have been influenced by James Cameron and that is OK. I saw the implementation of languages and the teaching vibes the world needs and that is OK too, I also saw an implementation (in the pre dump Apple Vision Pro days) where Apple had options and saw a game as well, but it seems that Meta has all the marbles in its corner now. I wonder if Ubisoft is making the jump from games to education, but that might be asking for too much, someone needs to talk to Yves Guillemot and Mark Zuckerberg is the most likely person he wants to talk to.

The important part is that the world is looking into the AI corner (the one that doesn’t exist yet) and they are wondering when it is coming, all whist the realist are stating that there is no real revenue coming before 2028, which is nice but the interest on 4 trillion dollars will be due at some point before that. Still as we are shown “Over the next decade, Auto-ML will become even more user-friendly and accessible, allowing people to create high-performing AI models quickly without specialized expertise. Cloud-based AI services will also provide businesses with prebuilt AI models that can be customized, integrated and scaled as needed.” Over the next decade? That will bring it to 2035 and I’ll most likely be dead at that point. Thank the lord that people like Karl Blake-Garcia (and myself too) exist who are looking to alternative money makers, preferably venues not dependent on AI. Its too bad that Apple wasted all that time and effort without looking forward. But still Meta saw this venue and now while some wait for the Meta Quest 4, the previous generation is ready now and the systems are being adjusted to future that solution. To the best of my knowledge there are close to a billion people ready to globally start learning languages and that solution could soon be shown to classrooms and homeschoolers. Innovation is all in the mind and where it takes you. No AI was required. The real AI is between your own two ears, time to use it to show others what is possible.

So when others are seeing that there is a marker in Data validation and Data verification the BI industry might open up to a much larger field, we can only hope so because if I have to read another produced article on shipping where we see “standard deviation is a statistical measure of how spread out a set of data is from its mean (average)”, whilst the actual setting is “the difference between true North and magnetic North” I am gonna bloody lose it. And it could have been avoided if Data verification was actually working, but shipping is so out of touch with reality, isn’t it?

So whilst some might see this as a excellent setting to see what the Titanic actually looked like, there is a tidal wave of applications coming into that realm, I wonder who is seeing the options to innovate.

Have a great day, and as I see it, taking the plane (especially an airbus) might have its own lack of innovative applications according to some. So have a safe flight.

Now what?

Well that is one way to say it. I am tired of all these AI bubble stories, I stand by my point of view and there is a slim chance that I am wrong, but to be honest. I very much fear that I will become like Jamie Shipley getting hauled over at the end by Standards and Poor (see the Big Short) and I am tired. This blog will bear out the correctness of my view over time, too many are in denial and I don’t care about the losses that they incur, they are not my losses and I told my piece on this. Time to move on and I still feel strongly about a possible solution for the Apple vision pro (or the Meta Quest Pro) and I created two solutions that could bring either a rather hefty revenue cycle. One in linguistic and one in entertainment (Based on Horizons Zero Dawn/Forbidden West), the fact is that the Vision Pro was discontinued production in late 2024, but the story behind its failure tells us more about the future of mixed reality than any marketing presentation ever could. And that is one reality that some can sprout, but I saw the idea for a global linguistic solution (via Ubisoft and Guerrilla Software) two solutions that could have worked out if people at Apple had any brain and I put it here as early as November 9th 2024, in ‘the easy lesson’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2024/11/09/the-easy-lesson/) but seemingly Apple took a runner, as such the idea would now fall to the Meta Quest teams (3 or Pro) and I reckon that Meta would love a linguistic solution they could vendor to the world (together with Ubisoft), I reckon that catering to billions would please both those teams. As such I was overthinking the two solutions I concocted. More in the trend of what books could be used to cater to the lessons and my first thought was to use ‘Famiglia Romana’ to introduce into the Latin setting, but also into the Italian side and even into the other languages. As such each language also include another language which they get for free. There is nothing like a free sample to get the juices going. And from there every language that has one book that is transferred to all other languages. As my setting catered to French, Italian, English, Portuguese, Japanese, Latin and Spanish (AC Hexe) and there is the crux, why wouldn’t they use the idea? How many people are trying to learn one of these languages? The idea that DML is being used for teaching languages is novel (to say the least and 80% of the solution already exist (for all languages mentioned) and that is where these players (as I personally see it) lack vision. So at what point do they look at any idea and think “That would never work” or perhaps it is connected to the idea that a little more work could unfold a lot more revenue and as Far as I now it, the people with pupils like dollar signs (salespeople) are never shy for inviting revenue to their front door, especially as 80% is already done. And they merely need to include parts of the game and it is all covered with NPC’s. So I don’t see the point of walking away from this. And it is not that I am a coward, but Ubisoft already OWNS the IP, so there is little I can do. The other IP (Guerrilla) might open another door (beyond the gaming side). They could set the people of these places (Carja, Banuk, Oseram) to Native Indian languages and there they could invite a whole new linguistic side and even propagate these languages to the world. I might have initially designed the game specifically to the Meta Quest based loosely on Pokemon Photo, but there was a lot more to be had there and the fact that I can see these IP’s evolve and the owners did not is pretty laughable.

And lets be clear, there is life and software solutions beyond AI and the sooner these people realise this, the better they are off (as Google and Amazon decided to leave on excess of 6 billion annually on the floor). It is a setting where we see that the French language has Sans Famille (Hector Malot), I read it in the 70’s on Dutch, as such I knew of the book and I loved it, but there also is Les Trois Mousquetaires (Three musketeers) by Alexandre Dumas and Les Misérables (Victor Hugo) that makes merely three books and there are so many more and as such the French version takes shape. And when you get through the languages released as I saw them and we have 5-6 books per language and bind them in mini games in these games, you get a true linguistic solution. And the DML solutions we have in customer support could measure the correctness of the participant. One s of several solution I thought through in this approach of software induced linguistic training skills. The fact that I saw through the solution that Ubisoft has and they remain at least partially blind to this is even more humorous, and that is beside Meta being seemingly asleep at the wheel.

So if there is nothing else, it is time to do some snoring as it is almost 03:00 in the morning. Have a great day today as for most of you it is Thursday and I am already on Friday.
