Welcome To 2024. Communist Social Credit System Arrives In The UK, Coming Soon To America
UK Banks Are Woking With Social Media Companies To Monitor Comments & Suspend Bank Accounts
Former European Parliament Member Nigel Farage Has Been Refused By 10 Banks & Can No Longer Get An Account Due To The “WOKE Financial Industry”
“If this isn't nipped in the butt we are heading towards a Chinese communist style social credit system because you know, if you're debanked, you cannot exist. You become a nonperson. This whole new woke corporatism has extended so deep into our big financial industry that I've now been refused by 10 other banks this isn't just about my bank account being closed. We've seen several public figures now coming forward since I spoke out to say, and in one case, extraordinarily, the granddaughter of Nigel Lawson, who'd been chancellor of the exchequer 35 years before, the granddaughter had been declared to be a politically exposed person and couldn't get an account.
What worries me even more are the thousands of businesses, small businesses, we've been closed down this year with no reason given to them whatsoever. So the idea that banks will have to give a reason closing accounts, I think, is a big step in the right direction. Clearly, a decent notice period matters. Uh, but, also, I think the right to appeal is very important. Now at the dispatch box yesterday, when Rishi Sunak was challenged on this question, he said, well, of course, you can always go to the financial Ombudsman, but there's a bit of a problem there.
Friend of mine, a former city trader, was debanked by Coutts 15 months ago, um, he wrote to the ombudsman. He continues to write to the ombudsman. He still hasn't got an answer. So these aren't just normal private companies who are making commercial decisions about who can bank with them. Mhmm.
This is industry. It's of its greed and stupidity had to be bailed out by us, the taxpayer, just a few years ago. I promise you this. If the government doesn't act, this will get much, much worse. And here is why.
There's a company called Refinitiv. They are a global organization that do credit ratings on all of us. You and me included. Refinitiv are now working with UK banks with modern technology to monitor the social media comments of the bank's customers. If Joe Blogs says something on Facebook that doesn't align with the bank's values and purpose, whatever that's supposed to mean.
They now face the danger of being closed down. And this may sound an exaggeration, but I mean it. If this isn't nipped in the bud, we are heading towards a Chinese communist style social credit system.”

This is some Vanilla Sky shi...
Here are some notes and quotes for the lazy folks.
Key Takeaways
• What the … ? Zuck and Lex are hundreds of miles apart but appear to each other as photorealistic codec avatars in 3D with spatial audio
• In addition to being photorealistic, it's also more bandwidth-efficient than traditional video transmission
• "Perfection doesn't lead to immersion, it's the nuances in facial expressions, including freckles, wrinkles, eye movements, and asymmetry." - Lex Fridman
• How is the metaverse different from a video call?
• It feels like you are in the same room
• You can do physical activities together like play games and have meetings
• Quest 3 will be the first mainstream mixed-reality device
• Quest Pro, released earlier, was pricier, but Quest 3 is more affordable at $500
• Future glasses may seamlessly combine holograms with the physical environment
• If a lot of people are interacting only with our digital version, then who are we really?
• Are we what's driving the avatar or the avatar?
• "We want the world to evolve in a way where there isn't a single AI superintelligence, but where a lot of people are empowered by having AI tools to do their jobs and make their lives better." - Mark Zuckerberg
• Meta's vision is to create various AI companions tailored for different purposes:
• Some will be more assistant oriented like the one they are building now simply called meta AI
• There will also be AI's for consumer support, telling jokes, playing Baldur's Gate with you
• Gif Dogg: Mark mentioned an internally tested text-based adventure AI that serves as a dungeon master, and one of the AI avatars is @SnoopDogg
• There's no specific release date for LLama 3
• They are currently focused on integrating Llama 2 into consumer products and making it ready for widespread use
• The subjective experience of reality and consciousness is what defines what is real, and technology provides a means to enhance and alter this experience

Here's my conversation with Mark Zuckerberg, his 3rd time on the podcast, but this time we talked in the Metaverse as photorealistic avatars. This was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. It really felt like we were talking in-person, but we were miles apart 🤯 It's hard to put into words how awesome this was for someone like me who values the intimacy of in-person conversation. It gave me a glimpse of an exciting future with many new possibilities and fascinating questions about the nature of reality and human connection ❤

@egotis10 Να προσέχετε να μην προσβαλετε τους άλλους,κυρίως λέγοντας ανοησίες.Η περιοχή είναι κοντά στο Τομπρούκ όπου έγιναν μάχες.Ολη η Λιβύη είναι εμπόλεμη ζώνη.Οι αψιμαχίες είναι διαρκείς.Απο τα 16 μέλη της Ελληνικής αποστολής οι 11 ήταν αλεξιπτωτιστές!Δεν πήγαιναν σε παιδική χαρά...

@ccavathas Πως μπορεις και τα λες αυτά Δάσκαλε; (Πάντα δάσκαλε θα σε αποκαλώ). Αν μπορούσες να έρθεις στην Θεσσαλία θα ανακάλυπτες ότι δεν έγιναν τα απαιτούμενα αντιπλημμυρικά έργα που υποσχέθηκαν μετά τον Ιανό, σύμφωνα και με μαρτυρίες κατοίκων. Τα μοντέλα κίνησης των υδάτων είναι γνωστά

Αρχή με τα τετράποδα=> 🙀🇦🇺 Στην Αυστραλία, η κυβέρνηση αποφάσισε να εξαλείψει εκατομμύρια αδέσποτες γάτες χρησιμοποιώντας την τεχνητή νοημοσύνη.
Τα αιλουροειδή αυτά, που θεωρούνται χωροκατακτητικό είδος, θα θανατώνονται από ρομπότ που θα ψεκάζουν ένα τοξικό τζελ το οποίο οι γάτες θα καταπίνουν καθώς θα καλωπίζονται.
Συνολικά θα χρησιμοποιηθούν δεκαπέντε ρομπότ δολοφόνοι, που λειτουργούν με ηλιακή ενέργεια.

@GeorghyZhukov Ίσως αν κάνατε στροφή 360 μοιρών, βομβαρδίσατε τους αντιπάλους με Όπλα Ηλεκτρομαγνητικού Παλμού (όπως κάνατε στο Μάτι) και πείτε 3 φορές “go back Κα Μέρκελ”, και την επιβάλλετε «με ένα νόμο νόμο και ένα άρθρο» να είχατε καλύτερη τύχη!
