AI used to target kids with disinformation – BBC News

Published

on



YouTube channels that use AI to make videos containing false “scientific” information are being recommended to children as “educational content”.

These include pseudo-science – that’s presenting information as scientific fact that is not based on proper scientific methods, plus outright false information and conspiracy theories.

analysis showed YouTube recommends these “bad science” videos to children alongside legitimate educational content.

    Easy to see this occuring as this is exactly how political misinformation has been disseminated before AI was capable of assisting with it. Spam the internet with misinformation and then people won't bother to sift through the garbage to find the kernels of truth.

    The absolute hard face of these fascists pretending to call out other broadcasters and content creators!!

    I would trust Pravda or the Volkischer Beobachter more than the leftist scum at the BBC.

    The BBC seems to think that science is about established fact when rather the basis of science is about questioning established facts.

    To illustrate:

    CO2 at 0.04% is a 2,500th part of the atmosphere. That means to warm the climate by just 1"C carbon dioxide molecules must capture 2,500"C of heat energy. That is of course impossible and it breaks the fundamental laws of thermodynamics. 

    Methane at 0.00017% is a 600,000th of the atmosphere so it's even more impossible. To cause 1° of heating methane would have to capture 600,000°C of heat energy. Problematic as this is over a hundred times hotter than the surface of the sun.

    Methane also breaks down in sunlight.

    Even more incredible, nitrous oxide at 334 parts per billion is almost a three millionth part of the atmosphere. Accordingly to warm the atmosphere by just 1°C nitrous oxide must capture almost three million °C of radiant heat energy from the earth's surface. (Precise number 2,994,011.98°C).

    To get round the obvious flaw, NASA and even Nobel Prize winning physicists have expounded 'accumulated heat' as the explanation how CO2 is able to warm the atmosphere. They claim that over hundreds of years CO2 has captured heat energy and this heat has 'accumulated' to produce a serious warming effect.

    Accumulated heat whilst sounding a reasonable explanation of how heat can build up is rather nothing more than gobbledygook. In fact it shows those using such arguments do not even understand what heat is.

    When we measure temperature we are measuring the heat energy a thing is losing. In short heat is a measurement of flow, the transfer of heat energy and this will always be in the direction towards the colder. For this reason a thing can never 'accumulate heat' in the way those advocating CO2 climate change describe. The temperature of a body is the measure of heat output, it can never be greater than the measure of heat input. Output = input. When a thing is warmed it is heated to an equivalent of the heat input. If this input is not maintained it will cool. Those that propose that heat can build up to be hotter than the total measure of heat input at a given time either do not understand what heat is or are being deliberately misleading. To illustrate, an object being heated by a flame can never become hotter than that flame, it's temperature cannot rise inexorably to the temperature of the sun for instance. Heat cannot be accumulated. When we think about it common sense tells us this must be the case.

    Imagine a river. It's flow is not water but heat. The river is being fed from a point a 2,500th the size of the river's overall diameter. The flow at the point the river is being fed from must be 2,500 times faster. So if the flow of the river is 1 the flow at the point source must be 2,500. Heat cannot be accumulated because heat, like a river, must continually flow. The measure of heat is the measure of its loss.

    There is no getting round this. Accumulated heat is nonsense.

    Fraction elements have fractional effects. We understand this everyday as scale and proportion.

    When confronted with these contradictions 'the butterfly effect' is sited allowing fractional elements to be attributed major effects. This too is nonsense and deeply unscientific. The flap of a butterfly wing in Brazil cannot cause a hurricane in Texas just as the stamping of a foot will not cause the moon to crash into the earth. All processes must be measurable and proportionate. The butterfly effect is magical thinking.

    Similarly, over complexity has been introduced to support man made climate change. This gives the impression of evidence whilst burying obvious contradictions of logic under a mountain of incomprehensible information. Opaque terms such as 'solar forcing' are used to add further unnecessary muddle, in this case the word 'comparison' works much better.

    Man made climate change is a cover story. It has been constructed to hide real changes taking place to the Sun, Earth and all the planets in the solar system as the electromagnetic polarity resets.

    Like all the planets, Earth's electromagnetic field is weakening. This weakening is accelerating. As the field weakens more damaging solar particle radiation is able to reach the atmosphere, ozone is destroyed.

    Ozone thinning is directly observable, in clear skies you will see an unnaturally bright 'white' sun. It's why the moon seems so much brighter. Under these conditions the pain felt when looking at the sun is not only from the increase in visible light but the much larger increase in infrared. 

    Look up at the sky and you will see a range of geoengineering operations in progress to mitigate this damage, these include chemtrail induced cloud or hazing, geometric ripple patterns (HAARP), bizarre and unnatural cloud formations.

    The collapse of the electromagnetic fields mean climate change will increase and get much much worse. Harmful radiation will scorch plants, destroy crops. Electromagnetic deterioration will cause earthquakes, seismic activity, rivers to run dry, finally electronic devices will burn out, blackouts, no electricity. Nuclear war will be used to conceal the levels of increased radiation. Three years before the reversal is complete the inner planets Venus and Mercury will develop tails that will spiral back towards the Sun. Of course by then geoengineering will be used to create permanent cloud cover, in part to conceal such an alarming spectacle but also to reduce the damaging effects of increased solar radiation.

    Throughout this period of collapse man made climate change will be used as the popular explanation. Dissent will not be tolerated. A variety of strategies are already being deployed to impose authoritarian government in what will be a rather orgiastic cull of population. Collapse of the economic system likely September this year and the prelude to the introduction of digital currencies.

    The inevitable culmination of pole reversal is micronova, something that our Sun does at regular intervals of thousands of years. As the Sun's electromagnetic field reaches total collapse the Sun will micronova. Actually micronova represents solar reset as the electromagnetic fields of the Sun and planets restore. There will be survivors but in all likelihood most will perish either before or during the micronova itself.

    Of course you may consider this far too incredible and horrific a prospect. Compared to the CO2 narrative it seems exceptionally bleak.

    I am putting this information out as it is important not because I am interested in endless debate. I am extremely familiar with the mainstream narrative.

    Micronova likely 2033.

    Very interesting & true and, absolutely correct.

    When human beings want to over-speed or overtake others with unethical selfish interests without responsibility to Mother Nature, then these chat GPTS would be interesting. This is especially the case with such religions like Hinduism or Chaturanga players that were devised by the Gupta empire to overrule others. Again, I choose to reiterate that Chap GPTs would be helpful for Brahmins as they reiterate ONLY they can rule the Earth by hook or crook and so, manipulation strategies to overrule with AIs and chat GPTs would be helpful for them.

    Galileo was no idiot. Only an idiot could believe that science requires martyrdom – that may be necessary in religion, but in time a scientific result will establish itself. – David Hilbert

    If one were to bring ten of the wisest men in the world together and ask them what the most stupid thing in existence was, they would not be able to discover anything so stupid as astrology. David Hilbert

    The reason for AI advancements or ChatGPTs is that Hinduism has very manipulative moral structures – so they use AIs to control their self-interest including the destruction of the planet Earth such climate change.

    When Dr. Zakir Naik tried to speak about why burning the bodies during funerals is non-nature friendly, he was ostracised, he was tortured to hell by confiscating his property and badly abused for not surrendering to Hindutva and had to move to Qatar.

    The judges in the Indian courts pass wrong judgment and choose manipulation strategies by hook or crook to just have an upper hand and rule Mother Earth even at the cost of humanity or humane kindness or any if required to dominate that ONLY Brahmins can rule the world because they don't have strong moral structures, unlike other religions such as Islam, Christianity or Judaism or Buddhism. So, they only manipulate or destroy Mother Nature or Earth for their survival.

    This is the reason the intelligent beings on the EArth such as Brahmins or Hindus rely on ChatGPTs or trust AIs because with that they can manipulate or control people of other faiths by hook or crook because none of the religious faiths such as Islam, Christianity, or Judaism or Buddhism have any common grounds with Hinduism.

    Even the Congress Leader MR. Rahul Gandhi and his family members were highly tortured.

    Possibly the assassination of the founder of India i.e. Mahatma Gandhi Rajeev Gandhi or Indira Gandhi was also done with this purpose as the Brahmins want to dominate the world by hook or crook by manipulating Mother Earth and choose destructive force to manipulate all of us.

    Let the world know the truth before it's too late.

    Their ONLY motto is to put the rest of the world in auto-generated mode and they live like human beings as they have NO Integrity, No Accountability with other human beings or with other religions. With AIs they can never be caught red-handed.

    And, one more point to be noted that they are vegetarians yet they swallow the human beings as they have no accountability or no integrity or no good intentions over others because they only want to dominate WITHOUT ADDING VALUES TO OTHERS.

    SO, LET THE WORLD BEWARE OF TH EM.

    Even the British brand as old as 1774 like Peter England, Mark and Spencer and many more American brands are all in their hands without sharing the royalty fees or monetary incentives to the relevant company or paying the win-win profits to the British government, US government or any other company brands.

    Let the world know the truth if it's too late.

    :Sometimes it happens that a man's circle of horizon becomes smaller and smaller, and as the radius approaches zero it concentrates on one point. And then that becomes his point of view." – David Hilbert

    It's time for the world to stand up together and fight the destruction of Mother Earth because Hinduism is NOT mother-friendly as it ONLY chooses to over-rule others at the cost. They choose NOT to add values but ONLY usurp values of others.

    I owe this responsibility of passing this information to the public as my mother told me "If we don't know how to use computers, one cannot live anymore because Hinduism has put everybody in the auto-generated mode by manipulation strategies by disobeying Mother Earth planet to have their own agenda by hook or crook'. This she stated from her life experiences because Brahmins are vegans but swallow beings or swallow the family surnames or swallow people of other faiths or to supersede their surnames by hook or crook. The earlier the world realizes how manipulative Hinduism or burning bodies is to the planet Earth, the better it will be.

    They had have been publicly calling Muslims Terrorists or create discord so as to have the upper hand and dominate the planet Earth as they have no accountability, no integrity or no ethics because their interests are only ' ONLY they can win without adding values by hook or crook'

    They are even willing to manipulate planets by launching satellites such as done in 2023 by launching UFOs such as Suryansh, and one to the darker side of the MOON and the latest to 125 days investigation about the Sun' to manipulate and destroy other countries by flooding, earthquakes, wildfires and so on.

    Their strategies are that we don't pay the price, but let's make others pay the price and use copy-paste techniques to overrule others by hook or crook.

    I owe this transmission of data for my mother because she told me you must keep all informed as she was a highly hardworking, pious mom.

    Let's add value to others and NOT manipulate others.

    The ones really responsible are Google and parents. They own YouTube. The site is literally now designed to keep you watching, due to advert revenue, and clickbait and "shocking" videos get more clicks, so the algorithm shoves those in your face. It's all about money.

    Parents also need to take action though, it's not hard to check their viewing history and correct their understanding. But heaven forbid a parent does their job, instead of whining about having no time or energy so just dump them in front of the TV or tablet. You decided to have a kid, you don't get free time. Consequences of your actions, do your job.

Cyber Attack: Ransomware causing chaos globally – BBC News

Published

on



Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

Is this AI’s moment of truth? | BBC News

Published

on



A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.

Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.

At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.

So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?

AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.
