OIL CATASTROPHE Looms As Trump...

The Lowest Bid

The Lowest Bid by Stewart Stafford

The sceptre is cast to the shivering sea
with divine ordinance, codes of chivalry.
A blinding vision of the fallen from on high,
New roving dregs with a scavenger’s eye.

Yield up the light, coax out the dying flame,
Punishment for crimes revokes your name.
Was freedom built on ancient delusion?
It persists as the architect’s cold conclusion.

The most degrading and painful descent
is the one to the lower “kingdom” crescent,
Shadow throne invoked by seditious implication.
Collusion not coercion, mummified by mediation.

Trust not the expedient offer, the beatific start —
They can only embalm the chasms of the heart.

This image from the Guardian... 🤣🤣🤣

for those not following UK politics, Nigel Farage has resigned his parliamentary seat - a stunt designed to frustrate corruption investigations. Farage is hoping to be reelected again, but no parties are standing against him. This leave's Count Binface as the leading candidate against him.

#Arrogance, #hubris

The downfall of many

#MicheleSpagnuolo, aka "AlphaRaccoon" (lol! 🤪) on #Polymarket, made a number of successful bets on #Google search terms

Well, that's because he worked at Google

🤦

Thing is, his winnings were substantial, but still paled in comparison to his high level of remuneration from his job as an #informationSecurity engineer in #Zurich

Well, now Google has placed him on leave

He believed he was so smart

He was. But not smart enough

1. The Babel Analogy: Hubris and "Reaching the Heavens"

In Genesis, humanity tries to build a tower to heaven to make a name for themselves and achieve self-sufficiency without God. Pope Leo is applying this directly to the pursuit of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Big Tech. We are essentially trying to build an omniscient, godlike entity out of human hands.
