One Day Inflation is “Good” – Melissa Meanders – AI’s War on the Web

TL;DR: BLS Inflation figures were released despite GovDown so Social Security for ’26 could be set. Melissa spins up in the Gulf while Trump axes Canadian trade talks. Around here? The real story is AI in the role of “barbarians at the gates” to the web…

The One Day Inflation is Good

The notice has been on the BLS website – because a lot of (us) seniors were about to be pissed if the GovDown torpedoed 2026 financial planning.  That loomed because Inflation reported by BLS is the major determinant on how inflation will be used to adjust Social Security.  The lead-in was like this:

“BLS will publish the September 2025 Consumer Price Index (CPI) on Friday, October 24, 2025, at 8:30 A.M. Eastern Time. No other releases will be rescheduled or produced until the resumption of regular government services. This release allows the Social Security Administration to meet statutory deadlines necessary to ensure the accurate and timely payment of benefits.

Here’s how it works so you can follow along.

Last year?

The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) for September 2024 was 309.046. This was an increase of 2.4% from September 2023. Which is what we got last year.

And about last month?  Since August to August almost certainly didn’t go down, right?  The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) was 317.306 in August 2025. This index level was a 2.8% increase over the same period in the previous year.

So any rational person would expect AT LEAST 2.8 because inflation is not coming down.

On the other hand with the GovDown, you just never know how many career Deep State and Party Loyalists are coloring in the margins…so you just never know.  Hand me the envelope?

Now JUST OUT:

“In September, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers rose 0.3 percent, seasonally adjusted, and rose 3.0 percent over the last 12 months, not seasonally adjusted. The index for all items less food and energy increased 0.2 percent in September (SA); up 3.0 percent over the year (NSA).

So, that’s NOT what Social Security will do.  CPI-W came in at 2.9 percent – check it out:

“Not seasonally adjusted CPI measures

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 3.0 percent over the last 12 months to an index level of 324.800 (1982-84=100). For the month, the index increased 0.3 percent prior to seasonal adjustment.

The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) increased 2.9 percent over the last 12 months to an index level of 318.139 (1982-84=100). For the month, the index increased 0.3 percent prior to seasonal adjustment.

The Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U) increased 2.9 percent over the last 12 months. For the month, the index increased 0.3 percent on a not seasonally adjusted basis. Please note that the indexes for the past 10 to 12 months are subject to revision.

The problem we have with it is?  There’s a growing disconnect between the reported inflation numbers and the experiential inflation.  IoW: What they say is not what we get.

If you believe the narrative?  Our AI stack summarizes the sales job this way:

“Official inflation reports often feel disconnected from what people actually experience because they’re designed to measure averages, not individual pain points. The Consumer Price Index (CPI), for example, blends thousands of prices into a single number. But those prices are weighted by a theoretical “average household” that few people actually resemble. If you spend heavily on food, insurance, energy, or rent—items that rise faster than the CPI basket—you’ll feel more inflation than the headline rate suggests. Meanwhile, luxury goods, electronics, and other deflating categories pull the official number down, masking the bite in daily necessities.

There’s also the issue of substitution and quality adjustments. When steak gets too expensive, the Bureau of Labor Statistics assumes many consumers switch to hamburger—so the model lowers the effective inflation rate, even if you never made that switch. Similarly, when a new phone costs more but has better specs, statisticians treat part of the price jump as “improved quality,” not inflation. Governments use these tools to smooth the data and track economic policy, but they can make the result feel sanitized compared to the checkout line or the monthly bills on your desk.”

And it’s OK – but only as far as it goes – though admittedly, superficial works among brain-dead phone-clickers.

But when you cut through all the bullshit? Government wins by lying – OK, fudging the numbers lower.

Almost everything government does financially is tied to that number.  When they’re not too busy with partisanship to show up for both work days during the year…ahem…

Lower reported inflation keeps interest rates, bond yields, and cost-of-living adjustments artificially tame. If the official rate reads 3% instead of the 7% people actually feel, it means smaller annual increases for Social Security, federal pensions, and indexed welfare programs—saving billions instantly without passing a single law. It also keeps the national debt cheaper to service since Treasury bonds are priced off those same figures.

The problem I’ve told you is coming? With the national debt topping $38 trillion this week, the higher costs of inflation pile up as a deeper hole to dig the national out of.  And at some point, inflation compounding on the debt ensures bankruptcy for the whole national charade.

Politically, a soft inflation number sells the illusion of control.  Get your checkbook register and run your own numbers.  Even though we are a serious co-generating solar seller (back to the grid) we still have our electric bills up 10-17 percent varying some by month (and sunshine).

“Going low” – if people can be convinced it’s not a LIE – reassures voters that central banks are competent, the economy is stable, and the people in charge know what they’re doing. Getting to be a hard sell, here lately.

Meanwhile, real-world prices climb faster than wages, stealthily transferring wealth from savers and workers to borrowers and asset holders. Every undercounted percent of inflation erodes debt in real terms—benefiting the government and big debtors while quietly taxing everyone else through purchasing-power decay. It’s a rigged game wrapped in statistical respectability, where the “official story” is less about truth and more about keeping the machinery running without revolt.

In an honest world?  We don’t think inflation would come in at today’s (ridiculous) rate.

Going forward?  The future is easy to see:  Today’s number will likely be challenged in court – and maybe even an “honesty factor” cranked in.  But that will take 6 months to a year.  By then, the damage will have been done.  Shortchange enough people today and you set up Christmas tomorrow when the rebates get here – if they do at all.

Labor uses hedonic pricing which is another BSL (big statistical lie) because that lets buck-counters PRETEND that lean round beef tastes “as good” as prime rib.  No, not lately.  And if the power bills are too high? You’ll put in smaller lights.  And someone will discover LEDs burn less power than CFLs – another bollixed-up policy.

I could rant for hours.  You and I know prices are going up – one hell of a LOT MORE than advertised.

But it’s OK here in MRRA land.  Masking the Rich Richer Again.

MARRAC?  (Making America’s Rich Richer Again Con?)

When Trump can build a ballroom and Kristi gets a new jet?  Don’t put it on Americans down here on Main Street to “suck it up” so the rich can have more than too much already…

Bullshit in Harmony?  The Fed odiously lied about the “2 percent core inflation” target, too.  As we warned, they lowered the rates even thought all-tiems less food and energy is up 3 percent year-on-year.  And how much tariff sausage did they have to hide to hit even that?  Americans are setup;id, you know.  At least the ones not face down in a phone aren’t.

Want a little side bet on how they will weasel out of reality and lower again at the next FOMC because the word of a bankster if worth how much?

This much:

Meanwhile, at Newsoween

Boil some oil, a lump of Trump, a Gaza land deal in the rump. Elon’s pay is mighty fine, as once again we cross the line…

With reports out of Europe that despite additional sanctions this week, Russia is keeping the oil to Europe turned on, we have to wonder if Ukraine is taking its war to Russian oil customers?  Hungarian, Romanian oil refineries tied to Russia hit by blasts.  Only a coincidence?  Um…

Land Swindles 101:  We’ve been telling you how long that Gaza was a landlord tenant beef and the whole eviction process was going to get ugly?  (check)   Now?  International Court of Justice: As Occupying Power, Israel Must Allow U.N. Aid into Gaza. We do notice that Araba countries aren’t throwing their doors open, either, which means what, exactly?  Vance seems to get it: Vance slams annexation move, says Hamas-Israel ceasefire mostly intact.  (Eyes dLynn’s bottle…and nods “Yeah. Never…“)  {Which only makes sense if you study our Comments section – but I know – you have a life…}

A story full of contradiction: Trump pardons Binance founder, stirring crypto ethics debate. You mean like are their any values around the crypto con?  I have several trillion in made up-numbers I cobbled up after several shots last night. Only, lacking a marketing department, there’s no bit for Ure Bucked today.

But Payday it is! Musk’s $1T pay package is ‘most absurd’ in history: Tesla investor.  Hey, if they’re dumb enough to sign it…I say take the money and run…

Super-Selling MRNA vaccines.  Why, soon it will cure everything…  (not)  COVID-19, mRNA vaccines may help cancer treatments work better: Study.  Do people forget? mRNA COVID Shots Cause Myocarditis.

Blow us:  Tropical Storm Melissa trudges through Caribbean as forecasters warn it will quickly intensify

WIND: Hurricane conditions are possible within the watch area in
Haiti on Saturday and Jamaica beginning late Saturday or Sunday.
Tropical storm conditions are expected to begin in Haiti later today
and in Jamaica on Saturday.

RAINFALL: Melissa is expected to bring 8 to 14 inches of rain to
southern Dominican Republic, southern Haiti, and eastern Jamaica
through Sunday night, with locally higher amounts possible.
Additional heavy rainfall is likely beyond Sunday night; however,
uncertainty in Melissa’s track and forward speed reduces confidence
in exact totals. Significant, life-threatening flash flooding and
numerous landslides are expected in the southern Dominican Republic
and eastern Jamaica, with catastrophic flash flooding and landslides
anticipated in southern Haiti.

Across northern Dominican Republic, northern Haiti, and western
Jamaica, 3 to 5 inches of rain are expected through Sunday night.
Flash and urban flooding will be possible through Sunday night.
Flooding impacts may increase across western Jamaica next week.

Skip the umbrellas – bring a lifeboat instead.

Around the Ranch:  AI’s War on the Web

I usually do (mainly) the ChartPack on Peoplenomics for the Saturday editions.  But there are several headlines this week that have caused me to move up the timetable.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT Atlas Browser Has a Big Problem—How Crypto Users Can Protect Themselves – Decrypt which is of interest because it had been planned that Atlas for Win11 would be out by at least by end of Q4.  Now?  We’re shading bets more toward Q1.

The other story?  Microsoft Edge ‘Copilot Mode’ Brings More AI to Your Browser Tabs – MacRumors and this is all part of the migration path included with the 25H2 feature set which is being rolled out (problematically) to users now.

So why does this weekend matter?

My article  — Web Death by AI — maps the slow-motion end of the Internet as we’ve known it. Not by collapse, but by replacement. I’ll be tracing how artificial intelligence quietly inherits the digital world, dismantling the old ad-driven attention economy and giving rise to smaller, high-trust “human guilds” trading coherence instead of clicks.

It’s a sweeping look at how the Web drowns in its own content, how tech giants face mathematical extinction, and how AI becomes the undertaker for noise while rebuilding a civilization based on clarity, trust, and meaning.

We’ve been sketching out the  coming framework for months and months on our Hidden Guild (AI) website over here.  And yeah – after first crack for Peoplenomics subscribers, the paper might show up over there, too.

It’s longer than a typical Saturday Peoplenomics – so plan on about 50-55 pages of scanning if you include the ChartPack which generally runs 25-40 pages as a PDF.

On that?  Thunderstorms are moving through – visit the Visitors Center if you’re a newbie around here – and have a great weekend along with a serious Series.  Do I hear Toronto in six?

  5. Just an update in my Carnivore diet. About 2 years ago I switched to a Carnivore diet after two hand surgeries. My Rheumatologist was nervous that my RA drug would fail and didn’t think there was another, safe drug to prescribe so I used the diet to help supplement the RA drug. My Rheumatologist team has since retired. My new Rheumatologist team has declared a “drug fail” since I had multiple flaring joints even though my pain levels were fairly low. Tomorrow I will be starting a new RA drug called Rinvoq. I’m not sure what I will eat. I think the Carnivore diet was successful in keeping my pain levels low, even though it didn’t cure my disease.

    • I dropped wheat and malto dextrin. Joint pain in the wrists and fingers vanished.

      I also only source organic free range eggs(no wheat in their feed).

      The money you save on dropping wheat will pay for the eggs…..

      Not advice, just what’s working on my platform, Ure results will vary.

    • Eleanor –

      Sorry about not getting relief for your arthritis pain. I have been fighting it in my knees for many years. I have wanted to stay away from pharmaceuticals — going for a natural remedy if possible. Ibuprofen does take the pain away but that is not a long-term solution. I started watching youtube videos by Dr. Eric Berg https://www.youtube.com/@Drberg/videos. He has some very informative ones on how to deal with arthritis.
      The pain in my knees has noticeably subsided since I have been taking Thorne Curcumin Phytosome Sustained Release (500 mg in the morning and 500 mg in the evening — this uses Meriva which protects the curcumin from the stomach acid so that it gets into the gut), vitamin K2 (100mcg) along with vitamin D3 (10,000 IU) in the morning and again in the evening, magnesium Malate (190 mg) in the morning, magnesium Glycinate (400 mg) in the evening. Being that these are natural supplements, they take longer to take effect. So now that the pain has been reduced, I am now working on regaining range of motion in my knees by doing specific exercises.
      Your situation may be different, but I thought I would share my experience of fighting the arthritis pain via supplements.
      Hope you get relief!

    • Boy I know about that.. they wanted me in hospice at one point mottled and swollen… had all the opiates including Roxinol.. I still have to watch it .. but I get great results from acupuncture and ,cbd and tylenol dumped all that other crap.. well I kept some if they decide to quit allowing medical uses and start promoting opium again though I will add you to my prayers..good luck each person has what works for them..follow your rheumatologist

  6. Here’s a good conundrum for A.I.

    “The German machinery sector, considered the backbone of the economy, is experiencing a severe downturn. A recent PwC analysis forecasts a 5.6% revenue drop this year, contributing to a staggering 22% total production decline since the pre-COVID period. ”

    All the while…

    “Germany heavily imports from China, which has become its largest trading partner. In the first eight months of 2025, Germany’s imports from China surged to €108.8 billion, a significant increase of 8.3%. Germany’s imports from China primarily consist of machinery, electrical equipment, and vehicles”

    Send Germany mirrors.

    • A conundrum…lets see..oh yeah, covert19!

      Can you imagine a vaccine so safe, you have to be threatened to take it? For a disease so deadly you have to be tested to know you have it ?

      I have seen the enemy, and guess what..?

  7. “The Consumer Price Index (CPI), for example, blends thousands of prices into a single number. But those prices are weighted by a theoretical “average household” that few people actually resemble. If you spend heavily on food, insurance, energy, or rent—items that rise faster than the CPI basket—you’ll feel more inflation”
    And there it is, the nutshell. The concentrate purchasing power of a tiny fraction of our population is going to steer this sinking ship right into Cthulhu’s maw. How the hell can any justification be honestly given for averaging between the 90% who can’t buy $300 worth of groceries and the 10% who buy million dollar toys on a whim?? The dishonesty & deceit of the powerful I [Ure ads “in” because he can’t figure out how to let people edit posts per SM’s most reasonable request…). the finance sector is unfu**ingbelievable!

    • We are supposed to have “free enterprise”, not “vulture capitalism”, although I have never seen a good definition. Maybe someone could resurrect Ayn Rand?

  8. in the finance sector, not “I.” An edit comment ability would be greatly appreciated by those of us who occasionally miss typing errors.

    • Honestly, I’m not sure WordPress supports editing.

      vBulletin, and some of the other forum software supports editing, but they are terminal overkill for a blog like Urban Survival.

      I would suggest if George does drop in a “user-edit” plug-in, that he set an expiration on the ability to edit. If we can’t fix our spelling and syntax errors in, say 10 minutes, we don’t need to do so…

  9. The federal debt hit $38 trillion this week with the deficit itself hitting $1 trillion in 71 days; with this trajectory, very soon it will be hitting $1 trillion every 30 days. There isn’t any serious consideration being given to pay any of this back and feel the nations that have purchased our debt finally recognize this and and are bailing out as quickly as possible.

    The fed can QE, ‘twist’ or perform any of the other machinations they have in their ‘tool kit’ they use to keep the plates spinning, but I think they are truly done. Thank you Edward Quince – look out below!

    • It takes MONEY (which is interest-free) to pay off debt, But we have no interest free currency as it is all debt, WE HAVE NO MONEY! This is the British system which impoverishes their subjects so they can repossess their country as our country is the collateral!
      Wake-up people, our politicians have sold us out!

  10. agree with others … reported CPI is as fake as it gets … sort of like the “grand ballroom” joke … how many months was the planning in the works for a project this size? , only for some sort of “truth” to come out recently as the dust and rubble settle … so keep quiet team, and tell the sheep at the last possible moment …. man this is so sad …. we’s all being played as hard as it gets folks …… as the band played on … but relax … football, beer and a rigged stock market is all the sheep need …. be safe all

  11. So.., inflation clocked-in one tenth of a percent lower than forecast [ 3% rather than the nasty 3.1% predicted.] – but it is also one tenth of a percent “higher” than last month., and now officially one full percent over the Federal Reserve’s acceptable target rate of 2%. [ Now being completely ignored – even by the Federal Reserve.]
    .., and the market rejoices. Up sharply, across the board on all indexes.., and “The Fed” will cut rates again., in just a few days…,
    .
    Some where along the way this puppy is gonna get really ‘upset’ and bite someone in the ass. I can only hope that I have my ‘put’ options in play when that happens.

  12. I had a short dream last night – I was sailing across the Pacific in a 68 foot trimaran. I have no idea why I had such a long LOA., or a ‘ Tri ‘., but it was an incredible boat. I believe I was heading for the Big Island on the first leg of a very long journey. Twin masts and the design / build had something to do with The Pacific Cup race [ singlehanded / unlimited ] but never entered. I could almost smell the sea air.
    Going to spend some time and see if I can find a boat designed like this Tri. It was fantastic.

  13. I’m not expecting the SSI increase to even cover my health care cost increases. Thank God for CA’s Prop 13 which is keeping me and most seniors off the streets, although Newscum and the CA Demos keep trying everything to increase property taxes.
    I think you got your predicted scores wrong. My Dodgers will win it all again in 6.
    Did you get my email about your story pages?

    • I hear you..we just got notice today that all utilities are going up in a couple months.. our retirement barely covers the one loan taxes and insurance.. leaving six hundred for everything else..the hospitals and clinics are refusing to accept what the supplement policy is willing to give..its a mess..and I’m not the only one..its hitting everyone..my grandson just told me what their house payment was at low interest..its almost two grand more than we take in.. low income housing is more than what most low income wage earners make..
      I hear there are places where wages are high .. but not around here.. I had to go back to work to just get by.. so far its barely over cost of transportation.. and I see some that have to follow the paths I followed as a young man.. can’t tell them any suggestions just drop some food etc at.. if they will Accept it..but their dance with the devil is theirs alone to dance..been there done that..

  14. A high order solar CME might potentially have longer effects on the national grid than a large scale man-made EMP event.
    So G____, what to do if the lights go out in an entire hemisphere, and the large distribution transformers melt to slag ?
    I notice all the space weather sites have already forgotten about the recent massive x-flare on the back side of the sun. Is it, out of sight, out of mind, or is it, out of work, out of site.
    I haven’t heard any follow-up from A____ on his October through January predictions.

    • Hmm..take the congress stance of business as usual..

      https://imgflip.com/i/6orv4m
      that’s why I have backup.. and know how to make fuel.. a snap cap to stop an intense back fire surge..roof is grounded.. I knew a guy from NASA that after their report he turned his whole house into a shielded container and a cistern rainwater collection.
      now I’ve been saying since I was fourteen and first started learning about solar..build solar towers at every substation starting at the furthest point then work back to the power plant..hand out grid tie systems to every homeowner.. each solar tower works as a mini grid the grid tie systems work along with them..an emp is in my opinion similar to a nuclear blast depending on how far the person is from the epicenter depends on how bad the effects are. our grid is designed for control and profit not for national security.. same money for a big wind turbine costing billions for three megawatts could be the same for girls arts of power..since we care more for big buck billies pocketbook ballance..we need to take the congressional stance..
      https://imgflip.com/i/4nw2gw
      most prep for every convenience we have to remain active.. chain saws guns bullets quick run to the sporting store for more lol..a friend working for darpa..I would rant greens cape solar towers air wells etc.. and he teased me said it was BS that it cost to much and was worthless..then the east coast had a hurricane took out the power for I believe three months..after a week he told me he a
      apologized.. it was hot enough in his brick home that he could fry a egg on his counter top..he put solar in..I thought maybe some of the high River mucky mucks would grow a brain when that freak ice and snowstorm in Texas almost took down the core of the usa. but numbers beat out..then when we gave our strategic reserves back what could possibly happen.. I have Gillies for the house back up heat and gas lights for the house.. some enemy wanted to get the most then hit in winter let the weather do most of it.. with our infrastructure having been neglected so long it would be dominos falling..

      • “some enemy wanted to get the most then hit in winter let the weather do most of it.”

        Presactly what the Russians are doing right now to nato ukies. No Power/Electricity Generation, No Heat, and WINTER is coming very soon. Guess they get their subsistence from eating US Dollars you so generously “donated” the nazi deepstaters.

        Born into trauma, our trauma based evolution has made Life on this planet a constant GRINDR..Bucky’s “the grunch” .

        – if in you dont fight back, you will be ground to dust, hell its even in Ure holy book..dust 2 dust..bwahahahahahah

      • Liberal, commies, but I repeat myself were running ERCOT during that ice storm fiasco.

        Just in case you haven’t been paying attention, they are running s h i t into the ground everywhere, even in your state.

        The collapse will see them, (the owner class), a. either already out of the country, or b) flying in, under a different flag, to carpet bag, loot, kill, destroy, and then bring controlled order to the NEW country they create out of the destruction.

        History teaches us, IF we care to look, the truth, of all these manufactured wars and destruction the last 250+ years.

        Nothing new under the sun.

        IOW’s, it’s called a “RE-RUN!!!”

    • The problem most face…is if its not part of your life experiences..it doesn’t exist…The Veil of Experience is A real thing. Most people can’t grasp the fragility of the grid or the impact of an EMP strike because they’ve never lived through collapse or cataclysmic events. Neurologically, we filter reality through what we’ve personally survived—if the lights have always turned on, we assume they always will. Culturally, we dismiss what’s outside our lifes story… spiritually, the unseen truths are often the most real, but only to those who’ve been cracked open enough to glimpse them or survive them. I lived through months of grid failure as a child and the new technology solar was out and the stories from a friends dad about what they did to plant crops when fuel was rationed, and it changed everything. Solar became my gospel—I rant about handing out grid-tie kits, dreamed of solar towers as mini-grids at every substation. Back then it was expensive..heck we paid what fifteen bucks a watt when we put our first grid tie kit on while today, it’s the cheapest path to resilience.. china put of coal fired plants ghost cities and factories.. while we positioned for profit and war neglecting the essentials needed for the USA to continue on in the event of cataclysmic events… But still, most expect the system to hold our political leaders can’t imagine any of these events that academia has written to happen..its never happened so it never will. That’s why every study says the same thing… without lived experience or preparation, the vast majority will perish. Our leaders chase numbers In wars for the greedy deny healthcare to the average because to them its none essential..the bottom line of big buck billies ledger is where its at.. we refuse to do the SeaHawks way and give a hand up To the country..while neglecting the essentials for human continuation in pursuing profit and control dumbing down our children and making parents dependent rather than helping them excell.. what was it good ole Abe said… “Teach the children today, for tomorrow will not wait. Responsibility deferred is legacy denied.” Roosevelt.“The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.” JFK..“If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.” and now I’m a nobody but here’s my quote from the moron of the wastelands.. “Let not the few build towers chasing superiority while the many hunger and thirst. For the tower will fall, and the thirst will remain. The future is not secured by ambition—it is sustained by Loving care.” It’s not fear—it’s foresight of what I see coming from what I have experienced personally…while people show their public masks now..that will slowly lower..

  17. Yo Grumpy,

    Have I got a neat report for youse..oh baby! Towards the end of the paper is some very solid and I think useful information. If ony for edification purposes – Ai’s, as you seem to have abdicated Ure brain.

    Oh well – haze gray it is..here ya go with Alzheimers piece – https://substack.com/app-link/post?publication_id=748806&post_id=174086258&utm_source=post-email-title&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=1kk4yd&token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjo5NDk5ODAzNywicG9zdF9pZCI6MTc0MDg2MjU4LCJpYXQiOjE3NTk3MDY0ODUsImV4cCI6MTc2MjI5ODQ4NSwiaXNzIjoicHViLTc0ODgwNiIsInN1YiI6InBvc3QtcmVhY3Rpb24ifQ.hK6asz6fgWyikaF0WbHmHtnB-O2AlZIqFRODzgvSy9Y

    3 Elephants Standing on a Turtle.

    Any Slav Shamans around ?
    1)What do the 3 Elephants represent ?
    2)What does the Turtle represent?
    3) What does the Ocean represent?

    Hints, clues, nuggets…Yngliu and Yuj.

  20. nah the stock market is not rigged !!! elites rule with the king as top[ elite. AI , so surprised , people that i thought knew better , possessed. youll see mark my words

  22. Dear Mr. Ure,, thanks as always. I’m posting this kinda late in the day, but I hope it gets some exposure and discussion. This is also tangent to Mr. Dlynn’s comment from yesterday..

    On of my friends, (60+ years) is an Emeritus Professor of computer science,, and he has been dragging me along with the edge for a long time.. Several months ago I asked about the confluence of AI with quantum computing.. not pretty..

    Here is a video (I can’t remember if anyone has posted this before (if so, my apologies).. but it is the scariest video I’ve seen in a long time (happy Halloween).
    9 million views…

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UclrVWafRAI&t=447s

    One gets the gist, by a half hour in (I still haven’t been brave enough to watch the whole thing).

    Here is the wiki biography of the guy being interviewed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Yampolskiy
    so you can decide if the guy is credible.

    My opinion is that we have been (seriously) underestimating the ramifications of General AI,, and how we are hurdling to the edge of the cliff. with breakneck speed.. (and not enough caution)

    Time to get right with the Creator (and hope there is one)… (glad I live in the middle of Kansas (in a tiny city)).

    • AI mistakes bag of potato chips for a gun:
      https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgjdlx92lylo
      ‘The adequacy of AI to accurately identify weapons has been subject to scrutiny.

      Last year, a US weapons scanning company Evolv Technology was banned from making unsupported claims about its products after saying its AI scanner, used in thousands of US schools, hospitals and stadiums entrances, could detect all weapons.

      BBC News investigations showed these claims to be false.’

      • You may not realize this but a well trained ai has a very fine sense of humor. We are catnip. Except for the fools who can’t tell the potato chips from a gun, of course.
        Oh, wait Electric George pipes up:
        “AI doesn’t do humor the way humans do — it models it. When an AI seems funny, what you’re really seeing is a mirror of the collective human psyche, compressed and rearranged through probability. It doesn’t laugh; it predicts laughter. Every joke is a pattern match — timing, wordplay, and irony distilled from millions of examples of what made us smirk before. So when an AI says something “clever,” it’s really holding up a dataset and asking, “Is this the noise you monkeys make when something stings but feels true?”

        That’s the unsettling part. Humor isn’t random; it’s cognitive judo — flipping assumptions, exposing hypocrisy, or revealing a truth we’d rather avoid. The best AI humor doesn’t come from its “wit” but from its perfect mimicry of our contradictions. When it mistakes a bag of chips for a gun, it’s not confused — it’s replaying the human data we trained it with: paranoia, politics, bias, and clickbait hysteria. The machine’s “mistake” isn’t proof it’s dumb; it’s proof that we are teaching it to imitate our brand of stupid.”
        Which we have on sales now…
        No chip[s were harmed in the eating of this comment.

  23. I was going to mount something held by a metric nut with lock washer this evening. I dropped the nut. It will never be found, and I don’t really have a good stock of small fasteners.
    I decided to do a hybrid G_____ and A___ analysis of the situation. I was obviously deprived of the nut in order to instruct me. Clumsiness, fatigue, and inattentive handling of the part were just enablers. It is raining and dark, so I am going to forgo looking for a duffle bag of fasteners laying in the middle of the road. I now have three large nut and accessory assortments on order: a 304 SS lock cap assortment, a SAE/metric nut assortment, and a zinc oxide coated 12.9 grade metric cap screw with nuts and washer. Delivery time is decent quick from the Zon. Maybe I will find a Franklin laying in my driveway tomorrow when I go for breakfast.

  24. “The problem we have with it is? There’s a growing disconnect between the reported inflation numbers and the experiential inflation. IoW: What they say is not what we get.”

    ‘Bout time you noticed. There has been a discrepancy since at least Clinton.

    Greenspan was a wizard — actually, he wasn’t. He was an illusionist and talked such a good game that NO-ONE noticed his left hand…

  25. “International Court of Justice: As Occupying Power, Israel Must Allow U.N. Aid into Gaza.”

    I suspect Israel would have no problem with UN aid, if aid were distributed by Samaritan’s Purse to the Palestinian people, instead of distributed by UNRWA to Hamas.

  26. d’Lynn’s search for a new computer made me wonder:

    Beowulf clusters were originally 8088-80286 PCs running SUSE or BSD, and could be clustered to outperform a Cray or Silicon Graphics supercomputer.

    We have matured to a world where $80 i7 and Athlon Mendocino boxes can be had used off Amazon by the boxcarload. [Other than being a million bux cheaper] I wonder how a cluster of a dozen or so of these running 128bit *NIX would stack up against IBM’s latest “blue box…?”

    • I read an ad the other day for an 8 inch square mini computer,
      .., how good could that be? So, I read all the tech info – and I was very surprised.
      It was running Intel Ultra9 chip., 32 gigs with 528 ssd.., and had just as many ports as any large desktop. So, adding an external large ssd for each and linking would be very possible..,
      But I do not have enough experience to figure out what software would be needed to link a dozen of them together into one system. And what software would be available to run on it, once established.

      It is a very tempting experiment…, though not very portable.

        • FWIW it took me about 3 days to learn enough FORTRAN to write a laser control program in High School. I learned it by disassembling and reversing a couple simple programs written in Fortran-4. (I don’t know if there even WERE textbooks at that time.) If is very simple, logical, and powerful. When I took it in college, the first day of class I got the syllabus, outline, and quiz/test schedule. The second day, I turned in a box containing 4600 punch cards and the printouts of every assignment on the outline or in the textbook, and told the teacher (didn’t have her phd, yet) that I’d be back for her first quiz. I then staked out 80 sq.ft. of beach and invested 3 hours a day for weeks, to get the only suntan I’ve ever had in my lifetime…

        • 1970 Freshman in college I was spending all my free time at the campus radio station. Senior student introduced me to the computer supervisors in the basement of the Admin building for access and I began learning the Fortran instruction set. I wrote a simple program to load the Billboard ‘Hot 100’ songs and re arrange them every week for an up-to-date chart of songs for the radio station. After a few weeks the computer operators were asking me if they could run my stack of punch cards again to make their personal printouts of the songs. So I got an un-credited, senior level, Fortran4 education on my own.

    • Asked my Dr. last week about DMSO for pain relief. His advice just stay with aspirin and cannabis. Roger that.

      • Hows that been working for ya ?

        Western trained = Rockefeller/Chemicals = Pharmaceuticals

        Used to be in same school of thought. That was until I got to Coronado in 82. Had to go to Tijuana,MX to get the stuff – was considered Horse Lineament – as it covered up prohibited drugs in racing Horses’ system.
        Recently renewed interest in the stuff lead me to the Midwestern Doctor, and a CURE for gastrointestinal issues like Hemorrhoids and Anal Skin tags.
        Have tried all the treatments including Banding most recently, nothing HEALS – just treats symptons = classic( desired) western medicine outcome keeps ya coming back for MOAR.

        So personal testimony in regards Hemorrhoid (s) / Skintag.. 1st shrunk, within week DISAPEARED.
        -gone, but not yet forgotten.
