Bobs and Bits in reverse

I have started using AI Copilot to convert line drawings into images, and it initially seemed to work quite well. But now it is developing a personality. Tonight I uploaded a page with seven images and a small amount of text. ‘Can you improve the text?’ I asked. ‘Do you want a white background or a grey background? ‘ it asked, and then gave me a list a page long of questions or suggestions with nothing to do with my simple initial request. After thirty minutes, I gave up.

There is a new, quite worrying twist in the war between Iran and America as the US starts to increase coal production despite stating that they have vast amounts of oil supplies. It won’t be long before drivers pull up at petrol stations and the attendant says, ‘I still haven’t got used to these hi-tech steam cars, do you want one bag of coal or more?.

The war in Iran is still at a stalemate, with Iran in the driving seat. Apparently, DJT’s favourite song was ‘If I could turn back time.’ It isn’t anymore.

The weather in the UK is becoming even more unpredictable, with temperatures of 35, then a few days later dropping to 16 degrees. And then there are days of what seems like continuous rain.

Not many people seem to realise that China has conquered every country in the world, but not with an invasion of soldiers, but simply because they make nearly everything, and very soon, if they wanted to shut the world down, they could. It’s a very clever strategy, and perhaps initially it was unintentional, but sometimes ideas start that way.

If you ever get something like a fishbone stuck in your throat, try eating a banana to free it. It does work sometimes, but don’t do this if you’re choking; always see a doctor. There is no truth in the rumour that I own a banana plantation. Just 50 percent.

Mr President, if you open Pandora’s box, the only way to survive is to change what’s in it.

Iran has evolved and now realizes it has the ace in the pack: threaten them, and they keep the Strait of Hormuz closed. You sign a peace deal and then move your troops to another area, the Iranians decide they don’t like the deal anymore. They closed the straits. You bomb the power stations and water filtration plants. They do the same to the Arab states. It’s a merry-go-round. I have always said that the only solution is regime change, and it would be amazing if Iran came to think the same. They would gain so much financially, and perhaps it would make the world a better place.

I like America, the amazing music they gave us, and the innovation that is sadly lacking in the UK. We talk about innovation, but it’s only talk .If you go round factories, most are outdated, and only certain ones have access to funding. Its the larger ones who get the funding maybe beacause they have a track record but this is at the detriment of the smaller ones who may have a geat idea but will never be able to fund it. And lots of money goes to charities, or welfare projects, which is great, but they don’t generate any money. Manufacturing in the UK is dying America looks up to people who innovate and they encourage innovation.

But long term the threat to America and most other countries doesn’t come from wars, it comes from China, and the fact that nearly all countries rely on them for products, if they decided not to supply products to a particular country then this could be far more damaging than an invasion. China has a long term stratagy of being the sole supplier which most countries dont seem to realize . Its clever and almost invisible, and I will give DJT credit for the fact that he has tried to bring manufacturing back to the United States I wish the UK did the same thing. But they never will because I doubt any of our MPs have ever made things, except mistakes. Suppose some of them mean well. Well one or two.
