In defence of Artificial Intelligence

 


I never thought that I would write a blog post in defence of Artificial Insemin.....excuse me Intelligence.

Talking of Artificial Insemination, going back about twenty years or more you used to see small vans parked up in Welsh laybys with the word 'Genus' with a half moon shape on them. What were they doing in those vans? Having a flask of tea and a sandwich as insemination was occurring in the back? You don't see the vans anymore but the company is still going according to google. 

Google! Where would we Generation X and Boomers be without it? I am a regular visitor to my laptop's AI to create images and to ask difficult questions and without fail the response comes back politely as if you were asking a policeman directions in the early 1970s.

If you are an ordinary bod trying to keep a low profile you are now being inundated by the infantilization of the news by the MSM. "Get ready for War" "Get ready for Work" "Phone your Boss if you are Sick" "The Russians are coming"

The MSM of whom the Trumpster Dumpster is so afeared is running a scare campaign about AI! I don't remember a great proclamation about its introduction. One day, it was just there. At your fingertips for you to educate yourself! Now we learn that all this information is held in Data Centers surrounded by lakes of water to cool the computers down for when they get too hot and bothered.

Rather than build a new one in Newport, South Wales, you've got a ready made one in Caerphilly Castle. What is a moat if it isn't a water resource for cooling down huge Welsh computers? The big computer inside Caerphilly Castle is called Dai. Dai Brains! or Dai Know it all! 

All I know is at the moment I'm having a ball with AI, it has been very helpful to me with all my questions and queries of which I have so many. It's the new bogey man after the Russians. The Reds under the Beds!    

What we lefty liberal wokeists wish was artificial, but unfortunately is very real is the hatred for humanity portrayed by Danny Tommo's Nonce Bonnets. His former boss Tommy Robinson is today starting a Crowdfunder for him. Did he not read in the Bible "Thou shalt not stab thy neighbour's dinghy with a sharp blade". Him being the big Christian and that! A pair of helmets if ever there were!

An arms race in outer space!

 

An arms race in outer space!



There's an arms race in outer space
and Trump wants a United Ireland
Artificial Intelligence is going to kill us all
Cinderella, you shall go to the ball.

British Patriots in nonce bonnets
can't understand why people wish to leave the union,
"No we want you to stay but we want them to go"
all this and more caught on a second hand Go Pro

All the Western countries are in a pickle, 
the Nazis are on the march!
Reform UK Ltd are taking bungs like they're going out of fashion
At this rate Nigel Farage will be able to afford a dachshund.

A little toy dog he'll keep in his man bag
it will have a small moustache and angled fringe
and just when scrutiny rears its ugly head
the dog will frighten journalists away by barking "Raus"

History repeats itself and fascism comes back into fashion
some will call it sensible politics and create excuses
for the unmentionable.
Even the sleepiest among us can see that life is now questionable.

Anglophiles question why Celts want to leave the Union
The response "You were the original invaders'
is met with incredulity.
Public Schoolboys with ties to Monarchy are never off duty.

Britain is the shittest it's ever been 
We can't even say God Save the Queen
because her son is in the throne room
and the brother hiding at Sandringham

Harry & Meghan are being given the runaround
The King and the Tabloids are trying to run them aground
Perfidious Albion is seething with discontent
You can see them in Piddington and Portsmouth,the malcontents

Will it ever get better? Probably not
It's too late to stop the rot
A scared and frightened populace are easily controlled
by an arms race in outer space!

Tawdry Audrey


If you blame Capitalism you sound as if you are blaming human behaviour for the state of human society. You could come across as a little naive because Capitalism dominates our lives, it's all that we know. As we get older we come to recognise its restrictions and limitations but it's all that we know.

Michael Crick, the Journalist, described the 36million donation to Reform UK Ltd by a British based crypto currency dealer as 'tawdry'. If you went up to Donald Trump and said that his offer to every adult voter of $5,000 if the Republicans are voted in as the majority of both houses as tawdry, he would reply "Audrey" I have no recollection of any Audrey.  

Not content with suspicion over the £5,000,000 bung for services rendered, Reform UK Ltd are in doubling down freefall and appear over the moon with donations of loadsa money to be able to buy the Prime Ministership of Britain. 

Britain and America are so similar in their dis-functional democracies that money talks. "We might just be able to blow the doors off this thing with more investment and a share option"

I hope that Jack Polanski takes Holborn & St Pancras for the Greens but I also hope that Andy Burnham is a success as Prime Minister as he has identified the 40 years plus scourge of neo liberalism and he and Ed Miliband are pushing back against the settler colonialism of the Israeli West Bank. Too little too late some are opining but as Rome was not built in a day, the Zionist entity in Israel will not be toppled in a day either.

Songs have been sung about money since the first shekel changed hands but it's those that don't complain about money that seem to have the most of it. They don't question 'the oil' of currency they just get on with acquiring more of it. We can blame the billionaires all we like but the billionaires are the Untouchables. Even accusations of Pedophilia cannot bring them down. 

For those of us who are bad with money. It passes through our hands. It is spent as soon as it reaches us. To earn money by any form of work or toil could be viewed as prostitution. You are prostituting your time in return for a remuneration. You can lose that remuneration in an instant but you will never get that time back.

At what age does it sink in that we will never be free?

When Alan Milburn knocks on our door and asks our parents "Are there any 'Not in Employment, Education or Training' in your household?

We have workfare at Sainsburys or they can join the British Army!

Factory Fodder or Fodder for the War Machine.

It is obvious that money talks but isn't it up to us whether we put any value on that money?

Isn't that what cryptocurrency is after all?

Welcome to Great Britain

 




Welcome to Great Britain


is patently untrue

to put it bluntly we don't want you.

You really are not welcome

so the black cladded 'patriots' would have you believe.

From Dover to Portsmouth and everywhere in between

there is seething resentment at the giant dinghies sight unseen.

If you've sailed from Cherbourg to the Solent 

you deserve a round of applause 

but what the lumpen proletariat don't like, it's not being done for the cause,

for the sake of Blighty and the white working class denizens within.

They feel that they are being cheated out of housing and healthcare,

of non existent jobs, why don't the Toffs care?

It's only the dodgy posh like Farage and Rupert Lowe  

who've sold their souls to the foreign devils

They'll take you all below.

The greatest grift of smoke and mirrors is being perpetuated by wealthy conmen

while the dangerous uneducated have been waiting for this day!

From Epping Forest to Southport, to Knowsley, to Cannock to Rotherham

from Southampton it's coming round the coast again. 

Burnham wants to spread the load so the wealthy can feel the pain

of the poor bitter and twisted but they have lawyers on their side.

Men in wigs who will send the Middle Class to Jail

for protesting with a sign!

"Oh Jerusalem! Oh Perfidious Albion! please tell me what is mine?

Wotchoo mean nuffing?

I got to have someffink for my troubles don't you see" 

They're coming to take my nothing

that's why we scream and shout

It's too easy for you to call me a far right lout. 

I can't pretend to understand the politics of Empire and of bombings and of war

all I do know that after a day of doom scrolling I feel very sore.

Trump and Musk have all the answers and now the AFD

No more woke weak lefty labour liberals for us!

You can stuff your Greens right up your chuff

It's football and a punch up and a Sunday lunch

"We want our country back and stop the boats"

"Get out of my way you non British scrote"

The Sasquatch of Sasgwent

 The Sasquatch of Sasgwent



If you put Chepstow into Google Maps, the American dame the other end

will tell you that you are closing in on 'Sasgwent'

The hard C in Casgwent becomes the soft S in Sarasota

SO 

I thought that I would write a poem called


The Sasquatch of Sasgwent do patrol the old Severn Bridge

not for her the forests and caves of 

Oregon and Washington State

but this tiny corner of South East Wales

She is as old as Brenin Tewdrig

and as young as the emergency alarm in Welsh only

She is a Gwennwys  

She's not a silly arse and has no airs and graces

but you better give her plenty of room 

in the wide open spaces

She'd crush your Tesla with her bare teeth

and drown Elon Musk at the Severn Bore

She was taking tolls when legally allowed to do so

pocketing the cash in her big furry pouch

Whoa betide those who try and mess with 

the Sasquatch of Sasgwent!

You'll wish that you'd never been so cocky 

when she beats you round the back of the head with a hockey 🏑

"Stick that up your jumper" she cries in Gwenhwyseg

On occasion she'd be chatted up by big fat hairy men

from Avonmouth and Bristol

but they soon back away when she shows them her pistol

"It's not safe for a Severn foot eight 

or is that an eight foot Severn lady"

so she has to assert her dominance to males

who can be a right pain in the arse especially in Wales

Heads do turn in the Chepstow Tescos when

 her fist comes down on the self service till 

"They just don't want to employ staff, 

they're putting people out of work"

as she sashays back to the ol Severn Bridge

another day in the life of 

The Sasquatch of Sasgwent.
