Trams used atmospheric electricity

[Silhouette]

Getting back to atmospheric electricity, you wouldn't need a corona motor or a wire being held up hundreds of meters. The power could come from a large antennae array somewhere remote and then be fed to the tram via a roof mounted accordion-like contraption such as is on this old strassenbahn in Innsbruck.

The only issue I can see is that atmospheric electricity is apparently DC, which doesn't carry over distances as well as AC does, so it might have to be converted.

Its called a pantograph and its used on trains as well.

I'm not surprise Brunel is freemason. All "discoverers, inventors, scientists. kings", presidents... ect. are freemasons with hidden hand sign pictures or portraits. Means they just dig up the technologies of the old world and credit them as their own. Also read that the given name Isambard Burnel is norman, of germanic origin, meaning either "iron-bright" or "iron-axe". The first element comes from isarn meaning iron (or steel). The second element comes from either biart-r (bright, glorious) or from barđa "broad-axe".

San Diego famously was in possession of an extensive tram network whose downfall was not contributed to the rise of the automobile, but to factions within the automotive industry (specifically Goodyear tire) buying out the infrastructure and taking it all down. There would not be another trolley system in the city until the late 80s.

Today it is for profit and heavily policed, which makes sense, because it serves double duty as mass people mover to help Padres fans save money on parking, and as publically financed homeless shelter.

The world's fair event in SD was called the Panama exhibition; the story behind Balboa Park and it's worlds fair buildings is that the Panama canal had just openned, and SD was expected to boom as the first state-side port of call. San Diego instead lingered on the margins, functioning as a garrison town.

It's current boom is probably due to its position in the biomedical/communications industrial frame, and because it's suburbs have long been held by the brooding presence of the wealthy Germans.

The AI bots are getting better these days. Good bye @Nyhellenia87.

Finally, thank you! And i'm glad you're back

We must be on to something here if it's attracting the attention of bots.

Whats more worrying is the number of people who responded to it.

Wow, I responded. Why was she an AI bot?

Wow, I responded. Why was she an AI bot?

The convoluted writing style, the jumping between unrelated topics and the affected choice of words gave it away for me. Also the wall of text in general.

Like this sentence:

"My experience with blood magick is that it seems to have worked, but that the cosmic order really is dichotomous and bicameral, and having revoked my former master, I wander the wastes of purgatory seeking absolution without succor."

This is not a normal sentence. It's just word salad, saying nothing in the end.

Another indication that someone used AI/machine learning to write the posts is the endless references to specific parts of books/movies, always starting with upper-case letters. It's unusual for a human to be a walking library with perfect memory.

No human writes like this.

Kicking up mud to make the waters of the digital stream perpetually turbid seems like it would be a priority item for those who do not wish us to see anything of reality except their pet simulacra.

 

[dreamtime]

No human writes like this.

Indeed.

I called Nyhellenia87 out about using AI in the Who stole our history? thread on Friday and addressed the whole AI subject, but much of the interchange between us got deleted (for being off-topic) and I have been threatened with a ban by The Moderator of this forum. I have also just received an abusive message from Nyhellenia87 via my website. So, as usual, I am the villain of the piece on all sides.

It's hilarious how the bot just started rambling about AI once you mentioned the "trigger word", with no relation to what you actually wrote.

The elites are having a heyday with polluting knowledge and information right now. It's spreading like cancer through the web, and poisons everything.

and I have been threatened with a ban by The Moderator of this forum.

Please refrain from publicly complaining about our moderation. We don't allow this.

It was a human being using machine writing to have a laugh, wind people up, see how far they could go etc. Evidenced by the mixture of content posted and will scarlet getting a nasty email from said human.

Hopefully now this example of machine writng being used in historical research will serve as a guide to whoever reads a thread awaiting authorisation to give them a handle on what they are looking for.
With a bit of luck it might help the entire membership to see the signs in things they read and watch on the internet.
So actually will scarlet deserves thanks not chastising as he was the one to actually write about what he had spotted. His style of writing obviously not to everyone's taste but fair does he did it.

Trouble is having just one mod in one timezone leaves an awfully big window in which things can get out of hand quickly by not being picked up and dealt with in a timely manner.
Not easy to find new mods I know, but perhaps dreamtime is now back in harness as at least it adds a second mod in a differrent timezone.

Thanks for explanations and the examples of truly bizarre sentences. Welcome to the future!

 

[Tetromino]

I knew something was up when they started going off on a tangent and writing a way that no normal person would.

 

[ViniB]

I'm used to yt bots, but forum bots are new to me. It was obvious something was way off with the writting style/pattern

My intention was to draw attention to the fact that Trismegistus is struggling to cope with the forum moderation alone, although he denies it. Nyhellenia87 is simply the latest member to be using AI as forum content, there are others and, as you say, we should expect more. It's not fair to expect Trismegistus to take on the extra burden. I'm not volunteering as I have my own website to manage and I know Trismegistus would not allow it as I have offered in the past, but there must be some suitable candidates out there.

And please, please get rid of those evil eyes that keep appearing on the home page from the Reality Check banner photos while you're here.

Can you please clarify upon what basis this determination has been made?

Are there, for example, any identifiable software signatures in the forum backend that prove this is indeed a bot account?
