			<description><![CDATA[Rob Moodie, for those of us old enough to remember was a nationally important figure in the Police who made quite an impact over the years in various ways. While I remember his penchant for what I assumed was cross dressing in gender diverse ways I wasn't aware of his feelings in regard to that choice, and even more interesting, the reasons or reason for that choice. Until I read this piece from Newsroom, by the man himself.<br />

Once again I use one of my favourite phrases with pleasure - I learn something new every day.<br />

<br />
We already have ai generated images of human beings scamming us, acting as sales people, help assistants, mimicking celebrities, even advising us and acting as our therapists - we can even create them ourselves. When though will this destroy our ability to trust other people? Something being a community relies upon.<br />
<br />
Should we make that illegal? Use ai by all means, but maybe we should be able to know it is ai, not a real person. Just a fake. Something different, and to be treated accordingly.<br />

Counterfeit people. If counterfeit money is illegal, imagine how dangerous fake people could be...<br />

			<description><![CDATA[The Story of the Mexican Fisherman<br />
<br />
An American investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them.<br />
The Mexican replied, ÔÇ£only a little while.ÔÇØ The American then asked why didnÔÇÖt he stay out longer and catch more fish? The Mexican said he had enough to support his familyÔÇÖs immediate needs. The American then asked, ÔÇ£but what do you do with the rest of your time?ÔÇØ<br />
The Mexican fisherman said, ÔÇ£I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siestas with my wife, Maria, and stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine, and play guitar with my amigos. I have a full and busy life.ÔÇØ<br />
The American scoffed. ÔÇ£I have an MBA from Harvard, and can help you,ÔÇØ he said. ÔÇ£You should spend more time fishing, and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat. With the proceeds from the bigger boat, you could buy several boats, and eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middle-man, you could sell directly to the processor, eventually opening up your own cannery. You could control the product, processing, and distribution,ÔÇØ he said. ÔÇ£Of course, you would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then Los Angeles, and eventually to New York City, where you will run your expanding enterprise.ÔÇØ The Mexican fisherman asked, ÔÇ£But, how long will this all take?ÔÇØ<br />
To which the American replied, ÔÇ£Oh, 15 to 20 years or so.ÔÇØ<br />
ÔÇ£But what then?ÔÇØ asked the Mexican.<br />
The American laughed and said, ÔÇ£ThatÔÇÖs the best part. When the time was right, you would announce an IPO, and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich. You would make millions!ÔÇØ<br />
ÔÇ£Millions ÔÇô then what?ÔÇØ<br />
The American said, ÔÇ£Then you could retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you could sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siestas with your wife, and stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play guitar with your amigos.ÔÇØ]]></description>
