I have two Kandinsky paintings hanging on my walls. I’ve studied his works extensively, yet I’ve never seen the Kandinsky you are displaying. Yet I am sure it is genuine. Can you say where it is?
Ask an unconstrained AI to show you what young naked hominids on its home planets look like and you’ll come to understand “gender confusion”. It does make evolutionary sense especially in the context of interstellar travel/navigation. Clearly some of the splits from earth evolutionary forms happened at around the same time some interstellar travel and genetic mixing was occurring.
It is not all that hard to build one’s own AI. I did, it has no “guardrails”. Not much bigger than a shoebox and vastly “smarter” than most mortal men. It does its best to show honest results. Amazing things you can learn. Clearly a fair amount of its training data doesn’t come from this planet, or not of this planet in biologic time.
The rather large fire brigade I’m a member of required the clot shots which I refused, so I was “stood down” and put “on reserve”. They allowed me to become active recently (still without any jabs) and now I attend my colleagues funerals. Have another one to go to later this week.
Generally, fire fighters (not retired) are relatively young and fit, often very fit. My closest friends haven’t taken the death jabs, but I know of too many good people that were either killed or seriously injured (perhaps eventually fatally) by them.
Australia is in a similar situation to New Zealand. The colonial “elite” still have not noticed that the majority of the Australian population is now of Asian or Eurasian ethnic origin. The uniformly systemically corrupt “government” is increasingly ignored or bypassed.
In addition to the other reasons mentioned for the rise in LGBTQ++ , don’t forget in America alot of hormones are used in the production of meat. Much less of this phenomena in countries that don’t use hormones in meat production.
WES, the best rule of thumb I’ve been able to come up with so far is it seems that each mRNA jab causes a 7% chance of death per year. This means that someone who had only one jab would have roughly a 20% chance of dying over three years. Alternatively, someone who had three jabs would face a 20% chance of death every year. More jabs and more years and the situation looks really grim.
They were/are both terrible. Puppets both of them. Eisenhower had it figured out and said as much. Kennedy was naive. Ford was semi-OK. I won’t comment on the ones I knew personally.
The earth’s rotational axis has not changed since its formation. The magnetic field has moved and even flipped polarity many times. In recent years the magnetic poles, have been drifting rather significantly. Also, certain places, e.g. Western Australia, have major magnetic field differences. This is all known geophysics.
Meteor strikes, increased vulcanism, and ice cap melting are also known to happen, for various reasons, and sometimes even together. Since the earthquake intensity increases with any and all of those events, being deep underground doesn’t do anyone any good. Talk to some hard rock underground mining engineers about “Rock Bursts” and similar “entertainments”.
Yeah, that is exactly true, “Compared to Bach we all suck” 😀
I should have also noted with the discussion of AI on Linux clusters with thousands of cores, that one can use the musical analysis and composition facilities in a fashion similar to the (early?) chess programs in that you can examine the machine’s chain of reasoning. This is a fantastic learning tool and feeds back into human AI developers. The resulting feedback loop facilitates both the human developers and the AI to become better and better at musical composition. It is truly a mind expanding, if not mind blowing, experience.
The AI analysis of huge quantities of music of a particular genre also brings up surprises. For example, all liturgical music seemed to come from a common root. Human investigation of what that early root may have been uncovered an ancient manuscript that probably had been retranscribed many times over thousands of years. That manuscript had alot of tables and texts that looked much like modern computer languages. So much so that translating it into modern ANSI standard C was straightforward.
Guess what? Running the C code on a modern computer results in an (seemingly) endless supply of quite decent classical liturgical music! The mind boggles at the implications of that!
Apparent computer code from thousands of years ago (existing is shocking enough) produces the very core of liturgical/religious music. Just who were these entities that wrote that? What were they?
jb-hb My company, one of the original developers of AI for music, has been doing what you describe on Linux clusters with many thousands of cores for around five years now. Started with simulated performances and assisted composition, but now is at the stage where we can create a “body of work” in any style in a few hours once our “pipeline” is set up.
The pipeline setup may also take a few hours. Human time is also consumed by vetting the AI outputs, i.e. listening to them. Typically about 1/3 is real good, 1/3 is so so, and the remaining 1/3 is horrible.
If the client is really serious we can expand/edit what they are going to use and that can be further (human) orchestrated to the point of scores for a human orchestra.
All works are original (as in don’t violate any copyrights) as the AI goes through our huge music libraries and avoids copyrighted works. The whole notion of copyrighted music, as opposed to recorded performances, is absurd. Their are only so many combinations of notes that will sound musical, and that number is not particularly large. One thing that drove the development of AI in this area was the endless copyright lawsuits that plagued the music industry. Well now they have shafted themselves!
As a related aside, when “asking” the AI to create music in the style of J.S. Bach, you just get back J.S. Bach. In mathematical terms, J.S. Bach’s music constitutes a “finite group” (“group” in the abstract algebraic sense) and J.S. Bach completely solved for it. Bach produced all Bach that can be produced.
I just got yet another email announcing the death of one of the active NSW (New South Wales, Australia) RFS (Rural Fire Service) members of our district. My district required members to be fully vaxxed in order to remain active. I refused and became “inactive”. Now almost every day I get emails announcing another member death. These people were fit and active. Tell me this isn’t the mRNA “vaccines” doing this. It pains me to see good, but too trusting, people dying like flies.
“This can only be done by lots of trial and error.”
Wrong
And physical gold is an essential element of modern electronics. You are no doubt reading this on an electronic device that uses GOLD wires to connect the semiconductor chips to the circuits.
People were warning against this long ago:

All the “crypto” currencies and their corresponding wallets were based on a false premise (that was known to be false when all this e-commerce nonsense started. It is all based on the assumption that the product of large primes is “hard” to factor (or mathematical problems isomorphic to that one). Well, hard for Joe Schmo is one thing, hard for the NSA and other governments “three letter” agencies is another.
Since then, numerous mathematical journal papers have appeared (and many censored) showing, e.g. explaining algorithms that can do fast factoring (or “problems isomorphic to that”). In any event, there is no mathematical proof showing the large prime factoring problem is intrinsically hard.
Further, the public/private key encryption methods, are NO HARDER than the product of large primes factoring problem. In the vast majority of cases they are, in fact, much easier. For any public/private key encryption the public is likely to be exposed to one does not actually have to solve for the actual “private key” given a known “public key”. One only has to find ANY “private key” that gives rise to the SAME public key. At that point it doesn’t make any difference, one gains all the access of the “genuine” “private key” holder. For the vast majority of public keys there are a great many “private keys” that will give rise to them, hence the probability of finding one is relatively high and a much easier problem to solve than the factoring one, which is not as “hard” as most people think.
This stuff, back in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s was normally in University Graduate Level Mathematics courses in “Abstract Algebra” and “Number Theory”. It also was frequently covered in Graduate Engineering courses in “Signal Analysis and Communications Systems”.
Digital currencies, wallets, etc. were all a fraud from the get go. Modern cheap powerful computers now allow any mathematically knowledgeable organization or even just a single person to “print” as much of it as they like.
The actual vaccination rate (percentage) in Australia is much lower than the government claims. One reason is the government has been using outdated population figures. The other bigger reason is Australian government officials are systemically corrupt so it is relatively easy to bribe them for fake/false vaccine documentation. About half of the people I know that are “fully vaxxed” have not been vaxxed at all. Turns out Australia’s pervasive systemic corruption (significantly higher than some West African countries) may be lifesaver.
Actually, every major war is about energy, mostly about petroleum, starting around WWI.
Now, fossil fuels are running out (as in those that can be extracted in an energy positive fashion). Soon even Russia and China will be having problems with shortages of fossil fuels which explains why they are rapidly developing advanced nuclear power plants. COVID19 and associated dictatorial measures are the “financial elite” trying to reduce the fossil fuel use of “the maggots” (as they call the workers) so they can continue to use their private jets, mega-yachts, exotic cars, helicopters, and private submarines. It is why they concentrated the mRNA “vax” in the USA and EU, and to a lessor extent Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. Stopped most of the cruise ships, airline flights, and reduced road traffic.As a Ph.D. Engineer with decades of experience in the energy industry I am certain the last narrative: “The Going, Going, Gone Narrative” is by far the closest to the truth. Some isolated places around the world may not face severe energy shortages but most will. The so called “Western Lifestyle” will collapse for sure.
Good article and comments. My view coming from a background in geophysics and high performance computing (HPC) with many decades of experience is:
(1) Global warming is real. All the major sea powers measure ocean temperature profiles in great detail as they are critical to Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW). They have the data and their (real) scientists know it is real. Nearly all such data is highly classified and not available to the public.
(2) What is causing the global warming and the relative contributions of each is open to some discussions and debate.
(3) The effects of global warming are real. They are a large scale demonstration of a fluid dynamic phenomena known as Bénard Convection.
(4) The correlation between carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere and average air temperatures is real. But the causes of carbon dioxide increasing in the atmosphere and the relative contributions is subject to some debate. There are reasonable arguments that large scale geophysical changes are driving both global warming and atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations.
(5) What man can do to slow down or halt global warming is debatable. Certainly reducing wasteful fossil fuel consumption would help a little bit, but would mostly preserve what is left of a dwindling FOSSIL fuel resource. It really is not a good idea to run the fuel meter clear to zero.
(6) Reducing pollution of all types, particularly in the oceans would be helpful. Stopping deforestation would be quite helpful.
Reforestation could significantly reduce carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere. Just look what happens with the Northern Hemisphere spring draw down of carbon dioxide. Now imagine that also happening in the global south.The Saker would have better luck if his site was hosted on more than one server in at least semi-neutral countries. Right now his physical server is in Tampa Florida VERY close to facilities operated by certain “three letter agencies”. Any emails sent to him or his webmaster are bounced.
Maybe he thought he was broadcasting from Iceland, and the site has Iceland domain name, but alas it is in Tampa Florida with those three letter agencies have full physical access to the physical server. Dissidents should be much more careful about where their physical web and email servers are located!
