	I'm not comfortable with this idea of human to human contact being replaced with human to AI contact. It seems to be increasingly accepted as the new normal. I heard a health program the other day talking about the use of virtual therapists to help people with mental health problems. Presumably there's at least some regulation backing that up if it's some kind of healthcare provider run thing. However, I recoil at the idea of children talking to AI bots about suicide in some dark, dodgy corners of the web.

	FSI Stump Cutters proudly introduces the FSI B23, the successor to the popular FSI B22. Combining familiar design elements from both the FSI B21 and FSI B22, the B23 is engineered for everyday professional work by arborists, landscapers, contractors, and hire companies. With the FSI B23, you get to choose between a 14hp Kohler engine or an 11hp Honda engine, while enjoying the benefits of hydraulic wheel drive. The B23 combines power and user-friendliness with well-known and well-loved design features to make stump grinding easy and efficient. New features of FSI B23: Auto-Sweep Release: Automatically releases the sweep lock when the wheel brakes are applied, allowing you to reposition the machine quickly and safely at the stump. Closed Bearing on Cutterwheel Housing: Pre-greased and sealed from the factory for over 1,000 hours of operation, eliminating daily greasing and reducing maintenance concerns. Safety Bar: Stops the machine when released for increased operator safety. Other new features also include a larger sweep for increased cutting range, recoil start of the engine, and a document tube and hour meter now included as standard. “With FSI B23, we’ve refined what already worked well,” says Launy Luckmann, Development Engineer at FSI. “It’s a compact, reliable machine designed for professionals who want straightforward performance — with the comfort and simplicity that FSI is known for.” The FSI B23 reflects Danish engineering at its best — simple, robust, and made to perform day after day with minimal maintenance.

	Very much in line with my thoughts.

	A big part of the problem with AI seems to be about who owns it. It's currently largely in the hands of rich, powerful individuals or under corporate control. As such it's being used to further commercial interests and personal agendas. With very few benefits to society as a whole, other than the data crunching. Maybe we need more Open Source AI, as opposed to Closed Source. I won't pretend to know much more about how it works, other than what the names would suggest.

	The hardest part of creating conscious AI might be convincing ourselves it’s real THECONVERSATION.COM A philosopher on how and whether we’ll ever decide if AI has sentience.

	Mancock WTF are you on about now, like other members have mentioned have you been on a mad bender or something the last few days. That’s how new words make it into the dictionary don’t you know 👍👍 Give it time and it will be officially recognised as a term to describe the likes of your self, left wing and retarded 👍👍Leftard. If it’s good enough for the Argentinian President it’s good enough for me. just to prove a point. 1967: The slang use of "bell-end" to mean a "stupid person" is first cited by the Oxford English Dictionary

	I know. I think Garage, Tommy Robinson, Andrew Tate, and our very own little wannabe influencer Davey were all complicit in stiring up social division after the event. I expect Musk had his fingers in things in the backend as well. Paragons of virtue all of them obviously. The question is how many of them knew that it was disinformation but broadcast it anyway to further their own agendas? Most I bet.

	Worked well then I see. 😂😂Mr Thicky, you daft old bugger like I give a shit 💩

	I believe ai personal assistants are bad news. To me it vastly accelerates what I tend to call 'internet poisoning'. It's already occurring, people are so influenced by algorithmic content and a shift in communications away from face to face contact that human to human interaction is changing. Ai assistants appear designed to further this change. We will become more individually insular and, frequently, more wrong about things, led by commercial interests. Using ai to crunch vast datasets has a controllable goal and is already proving very useful. Intelligence can be variously defined, we can naturally only compare anything to human intelligence but there are are other ways. I'm gonna chuck in another author here, Adrian Tchaikovsky, specifically his Children of Time series, which explores communication and intelligence between different species/races in a futuristic post earth intergalactic setting. My point here, apart from recommending some excellent modern sci fi is that if ai ever forms an independent intelligence we won't necessarily recognise it as such until after the fact.

	One from last night and a bit further back is Bella Culley who was pregnant and caught with hash and marijuana in her case entering Georgia. As part of the plea her parents raised £130+K and she gets out instead of doing the 2 years the plea would have got her? What kind of justice system is that?

	Not exactly Mr Thicky, the prevent programme is there to, and please try to get this, PREVENT people becoming terrorists. Go look it up and take a screenshot.

	Tried one, can’t turn into my massive gate due to the narrow street, not enough swing, especially with the chipper on, it was like driving a silver cross pram.

	Morning Team! Rain here later, pottering in the garage and cleaning the car. Be good today! Jay, War, King.

	Morning, crazy mild here again. Got paid for a bigger job this morning I’ve been out of pocket for a couple of months with material, so that’s always a good start.
