Trump: Windmills ugly kill birds. Data centres that make noise, use up all the water, electricity of a nuke power station. Nothing?

Ok US just letting u know that the current UK min wage has just been increased to: £12.5/ hour ($16.5). I get a state pension £11,500 ($15900) per year. It’s going up 4.8% in April. 2011 I had a knee ligament replaced.My wife had multiple C-Sections, 4 weeks ago I had minor eye surgery.Total cost £0

Did a simple benchmark between DeepSeek and Gemini. I entered the following query in both ‘I want to fly to Zurich from London Luton on 15 January 2026, train on 1he 17 from Zurich to Geneva and then fly to London on 20 January’ Gemini didn’t even offer direct flights and failed miserably. Cont..

Here’s a thought: US AI relies on Nvidia chips (Amazon and Google not so much). But all the chips are being manufactured by one company in Taiwan (TSMC) And earth material refinement from China. So unrest, earthquakes etc could kill US economy (and Europe). Where was the US govt planning over 50yr?

Epstein liked having sex with virgins. The virgins in his eyes were underage

I just watched the timeline of ChatGPT with a US suicidal teenager. It is ,by far, the worst thing I’ve ever seen and I’m 68. I’m advising my adult kids not to use ChatGPT. If they do just for facts. For my 14 year old I’m banning it. I’ll allow DeepSeek. (Apparently ChatGPT remembers everything)

US AI is all hype. I questioned the urgency. First I thought it was to do with the midterm elections with Dems taking over Congress. But iI know think it’s to fool investors since they can’t cycle money between companies for ever. It’s also trying to build up momentum to push govt help

US high tech are trying to monopolies AI. Innovation comes from competition. US made major leaps in tech, that benefitted the world, came from US vs CCCP especially the space race. Customer rights are better served by having more than one company to choose from.

The prob with US is its monopoly .The country monopolised tech design,until Chinese. Instead of competing they tried to squash one of the biggest markets. If a chip is designed to compete with Nvidia, they get bought out. FB buy any competition. Apple/Boeing changed from engineering focus to finance

Have AI designers/developers fell for the Matrix. Where AI ppl work in AI companies , drive AI cars,love AI partners, buy AI food, go to AI bars and restaurants, buy stuff with digital coins etc

To me this whole AI spend reminds me of USA/Soviet Union race to land a man on the moon. But now it’s to dominate market ahead of the Chinese . It’s not well planned. Example data centres won’t need zillions of Nvidia chips.They only need enough to fulfil current demand and to allow applications dev

Data centres to use existing electricity infrastructure and water usage proves they’re only interested in new big build projects. They could use heat pumps to vent the heat and provide air con . They should be deploying aircraft/submarine type small nuclear generators for energy. Major costs/plan

A govt by the ppl for the ppl would put it n some firebreaks between the real economy and AI stock. So a bubble burst has minimal affect on the real economy/pensions/insurances etc If the AI companies wet dreams came true they’d be monopolistic and unaccountable control of sectors worldwide

Thinking about bitcoin, Bitcoin selling point is the max no is 21 m. BUT u can divide that Bitcoin into fractions to sell. So if say as a coin u can have 10pieces to 1 coin. That’s 210m sellable

In uk u used to pay off your mortgage over 25 years. This has increased to 40. Considering u pay off very little capital in first 10 years doesn’t really seem to affect affordability. For a £400k u pay around £200/month more with a 40 year mortgage. But pay off less capital so that £200 will narrow

Watching what’s happening in US and AI. I can’t help feeling (and it’s sad for me growing up with US shows,films and merc) that the US is F*ckd.And your President acting like Dr Strangelove. Microsoft hoarding AI chips, US electric grid cannot support data centres so why build them. Chips depreciate

Trying to get my head around who’d us AI and datacentres. Datacentres offer huge amounts of computing and data retrieval. Nvidia chips are very powerful graphics chips so good for marketing, broadcasting and advertising. Replacing tv news anchors is possible but lifeless

Is AI over-hype. Is it just an amalgamation of Chat bots, gaming, search engine advanced technologies. Is there any intelligence? My sons love gaming and always needed to replace the Nvidia gaming module before 5 years. Will all these datacentres need to be replaced every 5 years as they run hot?

Isn’t it tragically ironic that the tech billionaires who do all they can to avoid paying taxes, want the American tax payer to cover any of their AI losses and even pay for the data centres they need, include running costs so they can make more money they can avoid paying taxes on.

So Trump admin is giving billions to AI infrastructure, billions to tech firms. Do nothing about AI affecting ordinary elec bills. Is this how free market capitalism is supposed to work?

Nigel Farage, the working man’s champion (sarcasm), attended Trumps ‘Great Gatsby’ event

If your country supports communism,socialism, Muslim or any non-catholic faith then fear US. One exception is Zionism

I heard Trump, suspected it was an AI version of him since he stayed on topic and his gestures different, stating he wanted to attack Nigeria for killing Christian’s. What about Muslims and other religions?

Christians and Muslims both believe Jesus came from God. So why are Christians against Muslims?

Is Trump admin portrayal of the stock market misleading. Heard a professor of economics of Michigan University state a lot of the rise is due to the fall of the $. That if u use other currencies the stock market not doing so great.

Is AI the new ‘driverless cars’ hype. Yes a few cities like California have driverless taxis but majority still drive. Yes on paper AI could replace jobs, but seriously how many? Receptionist do more than reception.They provide the friendly professional face of companies. Provide a point of contact.

The fear of AI. I can see AI replacing phone in services . But services that require personal touches: bring coffee to a meeting. Talking to staff, organising events etc probably not. AI is a tool and will probably bring some efficiencies. AI movies, chat shows etc maybe. Military definitely

Since 1915 us rich have been obsessed with the stock market. And since then govts have passed legislation to move away from manufacturing to stock market to make them richer. The 5-7 cycle must be deliberate. Pump up stock value, cash out profits, pump it up again. Rinse and repeat.

Big news stated on Breaking News: Nvidia worth (stock) is more than Germany’s GDP (not income). But Nvidia traded value is 20% of USA GDP . Sounds great except US GDP is for the whole country and ppl living in it.Nvidia is stock holders. Grotesque.Thanks to a low taxation and monopoly status!

One of the main issues with US is they’re supposed to be capitalists but favour monopolists. Nvidia will buy up any company threatening their monopoly and allowed to do so.This allows them to charge premium prices for their GPU restricting companies getting into AI/Datacentres.Only competition China

With spyware being abled to be installed on smartphones. It might be time to use 2 phones (1 for internet access, photos , emails,apps)and another old low tech phone for calls and texts.) Can’t see how spyware can be installed on phones without Android, IOS allowing it.

If,when, Mamdani win NY mayor. It’s Trump’s nightmare that 2, maybe biggest powerful cities in the world (NY & London) r ran by Muslim mayors

In 2021 my son wanted to buy a 2020 Mazda 3 for £22k. The garage offered a loan at 7.8%. I borrowed the money from the bank at 3% ;could’ve loaned it out at 7% so making 4%, I didn’t of course, but maybe the finance co would’ve . Now bank loans at 6-8%. Subprime lender 10-12% unaffordable.

Uk/EU need to develop their own digital platforms and web services after AWS knocked out companies like Lloyds. It’s also possible US policy could cripple Uk businesses. It’s a Nat sec issue These services should be govt run for the electorate not business.

Here’s a contentious point the Israelis will dispute. It came from Iverson Show. Israeli r one of the tribes of Abraham (there were 12 kids of Abraham.Jesus was from the Nazarene. Other tribes, Isreal Jews, Palestinians, Muslims etc. So share heritage and all children of Isreal .

I’m a moral man, not greedy, simple values like a coffee in the morning, seeing my kids happy, loving wife , earn 1/2p more than I spend. But if I was a minister/PMs d a corporate lobbyist said to me quietly‘here’s a£million to a charity of your choice if u help get me the £1B contract.

The UK(and US) know and have known for decades exactly what Isreal r doing and their plans;it’s called intelligence service. The know about the settler violence in the West Bank, the killings and the rapes. They know the killings and ethnic killings in Gaza,They know why Isreal attacks Lebanon etc

I agree with @meidastouch.com that Trump may have had mini-strokes. I think this strokes have damage his cognitive ability. I think by April 26 he won’t be able to be rolled out by his vampiric controllers. The 3/4 bald men.Vance will have to take over. They hope he’ll last until after the mid-terms

Anybody who takes over from Trump as president can knock down the ballroom and rebuild the WH EastWing

My final post on US politics, it’s occupying too much of my days. Interesting though. Final thought: Trump is the Distracter in Chief, while 3 unelected bald men (4 if u include Miller) carries on under the radar dismantling US economy/democracy in favour of the oligarchs

I have a theory . Steve Bannon,Trump, Johnson plus others;inc RW media owners had a meeting before 2013 to plot a popular takeover.First:divide populations through Culture Wars. Target immigration etc. Target welfare as spongers holding ppl back. Once in power enable the oligarchs (esp from USA) etc

The 3 bald men who r running the govt never elected , never spoke to the electorate, not accountable. Following a plan (Project 25) Trump said he knew nothing about . Where’s democracy. It’s a coup. Only hope is the military and national guard say ‘No’ and defend against ICE.

Watching ‘I’ve had it podcast’ and Trump only wants to talk about real estate, his ballroom. Trump gone full dementia

America please don’t be distracted. Trump is not president, the 3 bald men beneath Trump is, and always have been running the show. Trump is the face of this authoritarian movement. Trump only interest in what he wants.

Trump approach to Argentina and Venezuela mimics his approach to corporations and working ppl. Basically he throws money at Argentina (Authoritarian) and punishes Venezuela (and all socialist govt like Brazil)

The more I think about it, paying 15% health insurance is probably the best value for money tax u pay. I also believe that those unfortunate who earn pitiful wages so don’t pay tax should also be covered as they should be healthy to work. What I don’t agree with is 15% of payment goes to admin

Problem with 2 term presidents govt. First term presidents worried about 2nd term. 2nd term presidents worried about legacy and enriching themselves. That’s what Trump is doing now, enriching himself . He doesn’t care about voters. He’ll either have no elections or he’ll leave.

Isn’t it strange that the industry that gives u clean renewable energy,jobs for Americans is stopped by Trump.Yet the industry that threatens to remove American jobs and making the 1% richer, AI, is given full support by Trump. Even banning states from regulating AI for 10yrs. Wake up America/MAGA

Just watched Steve Schmidt on @politicsgirl.bsky.social .I’m a Brit in Uk whose heart is braking seeing what’s happening to US.Mr Schmidt is a phenomenal guy who I hope gets great support in rescuing democracy in US.His understanding of what’s happening and his faith in the US recovering outstanding

Something to consider: US gave Isreal $3B/year. Since 7 oct 2023 gave $30B. Isreal sponsors politicians and possibly Jewish ran companies like Oracle. Is US tax payers funding those politicians and companies? Is it fair on US companies that don’t support Isreal ?
