Rant of the day.. Companies, Banks, various departments all pushing us to receive only paperless digital documents. Yet when you try to open an account or carry out any sort of process, they demand a paper bloody copy be presented. And printers are not that widely available accessible anymore.

I've seen lots of these Ai YouTube channels now that are very convincing and often the main tell is in the poorly written dialogue. Plus, the imaging is recognisable if you have seen a fair bit of Ai content. The comments seem genuinely unaware, which is concerning www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gUM...

A fairly convincing YouTube channel with the main presenter apparently being an Ai fabrication. I've seen a few such channels.

This is a good illustration of how so much of AI theft isn't indirect (ie, data sucked into a model to train the chatbot) - it's actually **direct** copying, but *enabled* by GenAI. Of course it is: chatbots absolutely suck at creating good, new stuff.

Last month was the windiest September yet, with wind farms producing 1256GWh: equivalent to 36.8% of the island's electricity demand ☘️ 🍃 Significantly up from the same period last year, the upward trend for September wind continues 📈

Remarkable & important. Europe reduced natural gas imports by €9.7 billion with heat pumps. Important value creation: (1) Keep money at home by reducing sending money away; (2) In situ value creation with local energy generation (RE) & (3) Increased resilience w/ increased energy diversity.

Gerrard lives in Marston Meysey, a village in Wiltshire that's about a six-minute drive away from RAF Fairford's runway.

Marston Meysey is a small settlement, made up of just 60 houses, but the residents' worries now loom large.

"The bombers are too close to domestic dwellings," Gerrard says, adding that the base is "very close to public roads, which is a security risk that is all too real with respect to potential terrorist attempts".

A long time ago 5 of our local councillors sent letters crowing about getting funding to resurface our road. The sixth sent a letter informing us that it was being resurfaced and that while he would love to claim credit it had come up on rotation and no individual councillor could do so. Job done.

Ok, a fuel crisis might be just one of our problems. A mental health crisis similar to that experienced during COVID may be on the cards as people struggle to account for the consequences of predictible actions, and instead reach for conspiracy.

Post on Facebook, on fuel prices, "a disaster is looming with food production and all planned too !!!!!!"

A comment

All by design like the famine they have created years ago and still the gobshites can't see it complete collapse of the old system to bring in the new system sharia law, completely satanic, once again I ask, did God make man or man make God it has well been proven by now the latter without a shadow of doubt.

And in reply..

Michael Walsh we are in dire straits, indeed. And all by design.
The evil is off the scale altogether.

The current gas/diesel prices have absolutely nothing to do with a war in Iran or the Strait of Hormuz and everything to do with conditioning the people to not be able to travel from their assigned "smart city". Remember people, all countries and their leaders are only playing enemies and they are actually all working together to achieve "the great reset" "mark of the beast" and "new world order".

Also think about it that's why everything is so expensive like rent, groceries etc if they make it super hard now it will make most people accept their smart city when they are told how cheap and affordable it will be. Everything is by design to get people into them and take the mark of the beast.

The bax'turds will stop at nothing and they are telling us in their movies what they are going to do, end game is transhumanism... melding us (clay) with AI (iron).

2. Transgender
3. Transhuman
