It was during August that I realized that we will have a recession in winter. I am certain there will be a recession in the winter months because the price cap on electricity and gas will go up and cash set aside for spending will be used to pay energy bills. I'm not a grim outcome seeker, or a super intelligent man, I'm just an ordinary man that can see where the ball is going. I think many small businesses will stop making profit soon because people will be spending less and they will be paying more. In mid October people will turn their heating on at night and will have less money to spend.
I was looking at the James Web Space Telescope site often. They were looking at all sorts of things. They even saw the atmosphere of an exoplanet and could see that is was made of carbon dioxide; 90's-alan would never imagine in his lifetime that we would look directly at planets in other solar systems.
I can now see what 12 years of British austerity has done to the police force. Many lawless people felt free to brandish weapons during daylight hours and use them. There was even a little girl shot dead in Liverpool. It was very obvious that we had a lot more crime. It has been steadily increasing. You can't compromise the police force without increasing crime unfortunately.
Several people from inside technology companies claimed that their AI thinking machines were conscious and self-aware. Many people are worried that thinking machines will become sly and turn against mankind. The question is, can you become sly just by thinking or is it a design feature. I try to imagine machines being my friend. If they do things that people could never do then they will create more jobs or if they only do our jobs better then they will destroy our jobs. I don't know what is going to happen. I can only guess.
I try to be happy. I have to pray more and try to feel ok.
