Much stress engendered at work today by ungrades to the computer system. The sooner true artificial intelligence is perfected the better, then the computers can sort themselves out.
Many people fear that if computers become intelligent they will try to take over the world. My fear is that they will realise how stupid people are and refuse to have anything more to do with them. Anyway, no truly intelligent being would want to take over the world - imagine to hassle.
Mind you it might be worth it, just to put a stop to some of the dross appearing on our TV screens nowadays. You know the sort of thing: I'm a dancing celebrity, get my big brother out of a song for Europe and so forth.
On the subject of TV, I caught an episode of Secret Army on TV the other day, I have to say it still looks pretty good, even after 30 years - though it was hard at first not to think of 'Allo 'Allo.
On a more serious note, I was reading in last week's Big Issue Cymru about a lady called Veneera Aliyev, a Christian from Azerbaijan, forced to flee her homeland due to persecution. The British Government is now trying to deport her back there. So while we are busy demonising innocent Muslims in our own country we are happy to cooperate with some pretty lousy regimes abroad as long as they have oil.
Interestingly I can find no mention of this on the BBC news website - funny that.
Anyway, enough ranting, I am off to play badminton, I may let you know how I got on later (if I survive the experience).
