What level of summary is needed. LLM’s are used to summarise large amounts of data and publishing the summaries with the original document, eg this link. sagesearch.info I have done this for 60 years worth of an historical societies notes.
This can be done locally or on the commercial LLM via API

Yeh, the guy believes in crypto.

there has never been a disaster that crypto couldn’t save…. (So says crypto freaks)

Man, I am going to against this tide.
As my wife says length isnt as important as to what you are trying to achieve…
Your work is brilliant and needed, but if you can get a good editor your message will be heard by more.

Totally agree with you. Tech stuff is terribly understood and terribly reported by media.

Which is why Ed is so important

It’s also hard to q

Didn’t say he couldn’t.

He makes a lot of great points, discusses the financing better than anyone, knows a hell of a lot and cares deeply.

I believe his message and journalism would be more accessible if he had an editor.
September 30, 2025 at 9:40 AM
He needs a good editor. He also tends to brag about how many words he has written as if that makes his argument more compelling

He makes a lot of good points and knows a lot about what’s going on.

Does rant a bit, but that’s cool, shows how much he cares

But yeh, I agree , it’s hard to read

It’s everywhere , not just the US
Europe have similar stats , top 10% have 67% of wealth and bottom 50% have 1.2 % according to article linked

The worldwide Left lost this battle many a year ago.

Where in Europe has the most wealth inequality?
Experts suggest that tax systems and home ownership rates play a significant role in the disparities of wealth between the rich and poor. Euronews takes a look.

And it’s T20 as well, should be a lot of fun. Although it’s going to be played at some temporary ground 50km out of LA with only seating for 8000 or so. Apparently there’s some issues with it.

AI search is replacing the typical google search, which google wants to happen
Semantic search has been a goal for a long time and AI is delivering that, depending on what is used you can get decent results and I think it should be understood properly

The cost of it is horrendous though

Not to defend AI, but perplexity using Claude had your book as the second result, after The Wehrmacht: History, Myth, Reality" by Wolfram Wette .

An issue with using AI for references is it doesn’t give too many, and doesnt always give you want you want.

But it can be used for it.
September 24, 2025 at 12:24 PM
lol! Personally I reckon you should only be allowed to wear the Aussie flag while drunk at the cricket, or if you’ve won a medal at the Olympics….

Thanks for the link
Here’s a good article from the guardian a week or so ago

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Under false flags: why are Australia’s blue and red ensigns and Eureka flag being flown at rightwing rallies?
Protesters at anti-immigration rallies don’t know the history of the flags they’ve appropriated, say experts. So what do these ensigns mean?
www.theguardian.com

They have a very strong Trump/USA component to them, including all the AntiVax crap.
There were a lot of the red ensign Australian flaga about, which are the sovereign citizen idiots flag of choice. Another American conspiracy that these cookers love
September 13, 2025 at 5:25 AM
Yep. Pretty much just the anti-vaxxer, pro trump crowd, with a few “true blue” aussies looking lost.
September 13, 2025 at 4:35 AM
Hardly any Cookers at Hyde park Sydney. Police looking very bored

And yes, it’s just conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory. With a fair bit of prayer aswell.
September 13, 2025 at 3:21 AM
WTF is going on with that flag ?
September 13, 2025 at 12:45 AM
100% AI…. Create a poster in the style of 1950’s American propaganda….
September 7, 2025 at 7:36 AM
Depends on your definition of AI. There are academics who hate OpenAI’s ChatGPT etc but are comfortable using transcription services using OpenAI’s whisper AI. Not an LLM but trained on over 500,000 hours of sound, which would have been “stolen” just like LLM’s data.

Someone thought it a good idea to combine Clippy with AI.

New York is advertising on Sydney trains, little else demonstrates desperation more than this. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen NY advertising itself in Australia, it hasn’t ever needed to.

A hell of a lot more.

The main data centre usage by a huge margin is cloud computing (eg google, aws, Microsoft) and corporate usage. Over 80%

AI is gaining ground, and crypto in comparison isn’t that much
August 13, 2025 at 7:01 AM
Hey glen. Social media can be a bit Hive Mind at times. It is a serious issue. I am doing a lot of reading about it. There is serious Academic research about it
Here is a good longitudinal study from 2024 that I like
