The latest boll*cks to come out of Trumps obscene orafice is that the only guardrails that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ) PRESIDENT. The use of the word strong presumably means bigoted; and as for smart – all the evidence points to the opposite (Iran, tariffs, economy, world status, etc.). It is sad that so many hard working Americans have such tiny ….. cognitive powers that they are sucked into supporting him. Being warned by OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, Google DeepMind chief, and SpaceX boss Elon Musk is obviously 3 experts too many for the orange man child. Tec firms have spent $billions in building up AI – and need to get a return on their money, so these “experts’ are basically speaking out against themselves, share prices have fallen by up to 5% in tec shares. So a falling stock market, combined with rising inflation is just what Trump does not need with the mid-terms looming. The war with Iran and various trade wars (mainly Canada) continue as do the Epstein Files, his only chance seems to be manipulating the vote as his hero Putin does!
Oh I do like to be besides the seaside and watch Farage lose his wits. I have already stated my views on donations, and blatent lobbying by cryptobillionaires is an affront to our democracy. The donors were true ‘patriots’ (who have for tax reasons lived in Thailand and Hong Kong) says Dickwit Tice whilst failing to condemn those ultra brave folks who rescue strangers at sea. I am sure the RNLI would love a £72m donation – thank Nige! A final, or not, thought – could donations be limited to the amount of UK tax paid? maybe 5% (this would allow most trade unions to be in the clear as they could use members taxes) and the donors would have had to pay £720m in tax to be able to donate at the level they just have.
Pensions – the treble lock- is basically stupid. I am all for keeping us old ‘uns out of poverty, but the treble lock is running out of control and must be stopped. A rise of £500 is expected for next year, I am all for it until I see the deprivation vested upon our youth by university loans, AI job redundancies, etc.). If we do not look after the younger generation there is no hope, fortunately demographics may cause a fall in total population, but adversely affect the job market – more jobs in care homes, less elsewhere. Again there needs to be a proper debate about the demographics of the UK.
Sydney Sweeney – and Novig sports-prediction advert. Well it has caused a stir, and brought more publicity than the company could have hoped for – I had never heard of it, and probably never will again. I am basically against overt sexualisation of women in adverts, or men, but also recognise the brilliance of this advert in bringing an unknown company to prominence.
