Huh? …… the future, society, life …. an’ all that…..
said list of nouns was quite clear.
Well most of them exist already. Working backwards we have synthetic meat, bugs have been eaten in human societies for thousands of years. "impending Climate lockdown" is vague enough to mean whatever the person moving the goalposts want it to mean. Digital ID's have existed for a while and implementations of CBDC exists as well. All my friends under 30 call me a boomer for using cash as it is.
So all these nouns actually exist in some form, outwith impending Climate lockdown". So it's already panned out, what is it we're meant to be watching out for? Cause whatever it is should be here already. Not some vague future threat.

mmmmmm, let’s see how it pans out oh wise one. Hope you are the one that is right 🤞
How what pans out? The theory as presented was a list of nouns.
"cashless society, Central Bank Digital Currency, Digital ID, impending Climate lockdown, bug dinners and synthetic meat."
Not really much to go with there for seeing how anything pans out. Vague stuff and as Feynman famously said you can never prove a vague theory wrong you can always just pivot.
That's why you make definite theories.

It's weird to watch it just spread it's way. Folk then posting works clearly made to satirise it as proof it is happening too. It's Poe's Law in action.

In the land of TAMB, a figure stands unique,
Big Ramy, Canadian with a Scottish mystique.
Though shorter in stature, his spirit knows no bounds,
Swimming through shark-infested waters, Scotland's call resounds.
A northern soul with love for Caledonia's embrace,
He wears his tartan heart with an endearing grace.
Yet amidst his tales of loyalty and pride,
Conspiracies from TikTok weave a curious ride.
Children turned to cats, in litter boxes they tread,
A theory he believes, a notion in his head.
"Not human," he claims, for they've embraced a feline fate,
In Ramy's world, reality and fantasy conflate.
A blend of quirks and dreams that make him who he is,
Big Ramy, a character, a tale that's hard to miss.
A Canadian Scot with beliefs quite rare and wild,
In TAMB's vast tapestry, he's a story finely styled.

That tik-tok has the tag "satire" by the way. I can feel another poem coming on.

Well, whoever invented this AI stuff (if invented is the right word?), it's was all worthwhile for those two poems alone. 🤣
Well done phart, or whoever else it is who deserves the credit.🤣
Just feed it the right prompts, once you've been making poems about mates for a while you work out what works best. Pretty much 1% input, 99% AI model probably 0.1% to 99.9%.

It's just LLM (Large language models), very impressive on what it can do, but very limited in other ways.
Causing all sorts of bother with artists as well creating paintings, since it is trained on all existing art. Then trains on all the new art created and so on. Copywrite issues.
Lawyer using it got struck off cause it was citing cases it made up , I stay away from it completely apart from using it to amuse. I'd never use it for a serious piece of work.

In the land of TAMB, a user quite unique,
Big Ramy they called him, his spirit ever pique.
From Canada's embrace, he hailed his Scottish claim,
A patriot of Scotland, in heart and in name.
Though stature may be modest, his courage knows no bounds,
He'd brave the shark-infested waves, where danger's whispers sound.
For Scotland's pride and honor, his loyalty shines through,
A bond unbreakable, steadfast and true.
A love for Celtic's colors, their victories and their strife,
He cheers them on with passion, for every goal and every strife.
And by his side, a loyal friend in fur named Wallace,
Together they journey, through every challenge they face.
Big Ramy, the Canadian Scot, a spirit so grand,
In TAMB's virtual realm, he takes a noble stand.
With heart aflame for Scotland, he stands tall and proud,
A unique blend of cultures, in his voice, clear and loud.

It has been funny watching folk get huckled at university and getting zero scores cause they used it to write their assessments or exams.

I used Chat GPT to write poems taking the pish out of my mates.
In the depths of TAMB, a digital realm so vast,
There lurked a man named Slasher, his presence unsurpassed.
With words, he spun a tale of miners brave and bold,
A book he penned, their stories told, a narrative to behold.
But once a challenge rose, a poster named Rossy stood,
A square go proposed, a battle of words misunderstood.
Slasher's fire burned bright, his courage took the stage,
But Rossy, trembling in the shadows, left his words in a cage.
A square go, a showdown, a clash of titans meant to be,
Yet Rossy's spirit faltered, his courage failed to see.
Slasher stood unyielding, his words a mighty sword,
While Rossy's resolve crumbled, his voice no longer roared.
So in the annals of TAMB, the legend now remains,
Of Slasher's bravery standing firm, while Rossy's courage wanes.
A tale of virtual valor, where words were meant to fight,
Slasher emerged victorious, his presence shining bright.

After reaching a record low minimum extent this summer there is now an area of open ocean bigger than Greenland. If the “missing” sea ice were a country, it’d be the tenth largest in the world.
been a bad year

I didnt know 2030 was a bust too. Could very well be the deathknell

Aye enjoy. It's a trip i'd like to make one day. Someone pointed out that Edinburgh Castle is 300 years older than Machu Picchu to me when i mentioned i'd like to go once, which I thought was missing the point somewhat.

Maybe if we all post our 1st Munro pics we can cheer Tidy up?
I've redacted mine from sheer embarrassment.
Too many TAMBers guilty of cutting about in dasiy dukes back in the day.

rhetoric aside,
How does the maths work? SNP candidate gets hammered where's the votes coming to mitigate this hammering if they become "unity"
What do these things actually mean?
It seems more like a political ploy to try and get some power through the backdoor since ALBA have no electoral backing atm.

Sunak’s family firm signed a billion-dollar deal with BP before PM opened new North Sea licences
The CEO of one of Infosys' other major clients, Shell, also joined Rishi Sunak's new business council two weeks ago.
This is being reported

The technology also isn't there at scale.
I already ran through the calculations on here years ago and nothing has changed. Just saying it exists doesn't make it so.
It's obfuscation by oil and gas while they try and squeeze out the last drops of profit before things get really noticeable and the game is up for them.
We'll still need oil though, I think it was orraloon who said his chemistry teacher said that oil is too scarce a resource to actually set it on fire.

How anyone can look at the already devastating consequences of climate change and think that opening up the North sea for further extraction is a good idea is fucking bonkers to me.
We are in March 2020 of climate change, bodies are starting to pile up and these fuckers are doing the equivalent of going into hospitals and shaking sick people's hands.
Humanity is fucked
Short term profits as always.
Folk seem to forget what lattitude we are at and what drives our warmer climate is being affected as well.
There's all sots of scenarios in play in the next 20 years as well. Eco "terrorism" , 1 billion people mass migrating.
Myself and Hampden have been going back and forth on "Carbon Capture" and 3 years later there is stil no viable at scale mechanism to do this, most small scale is at source of power stations and no effective atmosphere scrubs.
Folk point to China but they're using fossil fuels to completely transfer, huge investments in green technology. Solar farms, huge power storage facilities with the ability to transmit across country.
We're not even going to get lower costs, our companies are recording huge profits and we're getting fleeced.

Heard the death toll on the Ukraine side is over 200,000 ? surely not ??
Seems plausible if 50k+ Russian soldiers have died and you add in the rest.

But he's never seen them has he? I've been looking at the claims he just says someone told them they have them. There's no actual evidence to review beyond hearsay.

Psychologists Says Watching True Crime is A ‘Big Red Flag’
Watching documentaries of serial killers and how they went about their lives may seem interesting, but psychologists have a different take on it. Psychologist Meredith Fuller said watching crime can do significant harm to a human’s brain as the horrors of watching crime can seep in personality which can make people more violent and less merciful.
Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

Someone found an really clever way to estimate deaths on Russian side. Worked out about 50k at the time of the figures.
So this war is really costly on both sides militarily , plus all the civilians too. Infrastructure etc.

It happens in Academia all the time as well though. My friend is one of the worlds expert on a certain type of Civil Engineering and the amount of times she has some old dude trying to explain her expertise to her is crazy. When she was working while pregnant she said it was crazy as well.
We don't experience it so easy to miss it. Now obviously it becomes an effective defense to just shout it out , but it is effective cause it happens all the time as well.
My favourite mainsplaining one is this , then the unaware mansplaining comments underneath it as well.
