The Gemini spy, the global lie and helping the powerful to die

Just before Christmas last year, a parasite AI product inserted itself onto my pc. I didn't ask for it, nor was I in turn asked for permission to allow the brazen invasion. It's called Gemini, and is owned and marketed by Google. [To be more precise, the disturbingly named Gargoyle subsidiary, GoogleDeepMind].

The introductory email - predictably sporting <google-gemini-noreply@google.com> as its address - went on to allege (nay, insist) that it can

I silently rebuffed all the promised life-changing gizmos, and forgot about the encounter.

Until yesterday, when Gemini returned...this time to my phone. This is what creepy Gemini suggested to me:

"It looks like you've been having a tough time lately. How can I help?"

These are two texts I had sent to people over the last eighteen hours I'm helping here in The Gambia:

'Missed you tonight - going to bed early as I'm very tired'

'Not possible today M******, have meetings with general manager here and then TV repair guy - both of which promise to be exhausting rather than exhaustive'.

Gargoyle is very obviously analysing my private texts, and using these to try and sell me spurious AI drivel. But do-no-wrong Google fucked up and sent me what I now understand is a standard response....because today, I've been to Gemini and test-driven the Bot BS they're peddling.

I doubt very much if this revelation is exclusive. But sure as night follows day, it is explosive. And if you don't think that, then I suggest you cancel your Real Slog@Ghost membership and join those addicted to compliance in the face of dystopia.

One of the commenters on Wednesday's Slogpost wrote as follows:

'In 2025, the knee-jerk reaction of every unelected Government bureaucrat, Internet service provider, bank, Phoneco, national broadcasting corporation, geopolitical bloc, global news outlet, pharmaceutical company, religious fundamentalist, political leader and corporate spokesman is to lie'

Later that day, I had a sudden and unexpected loss of internet connectivity that demonstrated the accuracy of the threader's opinion. The network supplier Qcell swore blind on its mother's grave that oh dear me no, there was no problem with the network, and "Have you tried switching off your pc, waiting for twenty seconds and then switching it on again?"

It transpired that Qcell had indeed suffered a comms-tower outage.

Now, when phone network providers are handed the controls to digitally supplied "money" - and be in no doubt, given half a chance they will be - what happens when some poor old dear needs money to get medical care, and the network supplier - either wishing to evade responsibility or simply steal her money in classic DWP style - says "Nothing to do with us gran'ma....probably user error on your part or insufficient funds in your account"?

Is any person reading the above horror prediction really so dumb by now as to believe that our obscenely perverted corporacratic greedyguts wouldn't dream of doing such a thing? "Cull the useless eaters with assisted suicide and cut off their access to medical help, men...we're talking big bonuses here, so let's get on the case: if the euthanasia doesn't get 'em, the hypotension will".

And talking of euthanasia.....

Observe the capitalised nature of the satirical alternative, EUthanasia

For sure, the leaders of the EU are exhibiting all the signs of corruption, sexual abnormality, upside-down contempt for real democracy - and above all dangerous dementia - in their support for washed-up soap actor and Pentagon cypher-whore Ukrainian neo-Nazi Vlodomore Zelenskyyyyy...while engaging in a delusional fantasy of victory against Putin's Russian Federation.

Clearly, the inevitability of their death is in need of assistance.

I fancy that the von der Leyen, Macron, Starmer*, Scholz axis of incompetent New World Order compliance should be the subject of intense psychiatric examination with a view to the termination of their physical existence.

Such would be a humanitarian act of mercy.

Beyond such a view, there is also of course the jeu de mots insistence that most of us would rather be in Asia than the EU.

*Although the UK is no longer in the EU, Starmer behaves as if this might be a minor issue/mistake he intends to rectify some time soon.
