Watch: AI World Takeover Hits Snag As Fake Actress Glitches and Starts Speaking Chinese on Live TV

RedState

"I mean, this couldn't be more on the nose. We've got AI presenting itself as a harmless entity, with the backdrop of China running a propaganda machine to steer the rest of the world away from reaping the benefits of the technology, only for the lovely young actress to be revealed as a secret product of the CCP."

"Perhaps fears of an AI takeover of the human race have been slightly overblown.

"Tilly Norwood, an actress created entirely by artificial intelligence, glitched during an interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored on Friday, suddenly switching from English to Chinese while speaking with the host and accomplished Scottish actor Tom Conti.

"Norwood, a computer-generated performer being promoted as a new kind of Hollywood star, answered questions about her upcoming film before going silent and then speaking in a different tongue.

"Morgan asked why it happened, and Norwood called the episode little more than a programming “hiccup.”

"'I certainly didn't mean to start speaking Chinese or impersonate Piers. Sometimes my wires get a bit crossed, you know?" she responded.

"Morgan, ever the inquisitive journalist, asked, "How often do you just randomly start talking Chinese when you're talking to two English people?"

"The look on Conti and Morgan's faces when the AI actress begins speaking fluent Chinese is priceless." . . .  <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">EXCLUSIVE: AI actress Tilly Norwood glitches and starts speaking CHINESE during her interview with Piers Morgan and real-life actor Tom Conti...

Natural Gas Is Cheap – Why Is Your Bill So High?

 We wait for liberal activists to call it 'big gas".

Watts Up With That?  

"Asked whether most people she knows understand their gas bill and why it may soon go up again, she replied: “I was a schoolteacher. So, of course I know how much they don’t know. But I do think a lot of us retired folks know it’s going to be worse than we expect.”

WASHINGTON, Pennsylvania—Janet Stechly, a retired schoolteacher, and her husband, a retired coal miner, pore over every monthly expense. One of the most confounding is the monthly natural gas bill for their small townhouse in southwestern Pennsylvania.

Their March bill from Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania totaled $95.17, but only $13.99 of that was for the gas itself. The other $81.18 covered delivery ($40.68) and a series of hard-to-decipher items including a “customer charge” ($20.15), “pass-through charges” ($13.37), and a “weather normalization adjustment” ($6.60) that was included because warm weather meant the Stechlys had used less gas than expected. 

The retirees in this small town in western Pennsylvania will likely face even higher gas delivery charges in years to come as more power-hungry data centers are built in the region to accommodate the burgeoning era of AI. While public protests over higher electricity bills, water use, and noise caused by the buildout of data centers have erupted in several states, consumers are less aware of the effect on their natural gas bills. 

. . . "As this family’s experience illustrates, increasing gas bills have nothing to do with the price of gas itself. Nationwide, the American Gas Association reports, actual fuel itself accounts for only 31% of the average bill. It is even lower for the Stechlys, who live in the most-drilled county in Pennsylvania. Washington County has 2,148 unconventional gas wells, more than any other county in the state. All told, they produced 1.15 trillion cubic feet of gas last year. 

The price of the abundant commodity in this region is relatively low, and economists say it will remain so for some time. The expensive part is the plants, pipes, and wires that utilities install to serve new demand, and the companies recover those costs from every customer on the system with a guaranteed return, over decades, set by the state Public Utilities Commission (PUC). And those charges to consumers arrive whether or not the infrastructure is actually used to meet anticipated demand.

Like other utilities, Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania, which serves 445,000 customers in 26 counties, makes nothing on the gas itself; it buys the fuel and passes on the costs to ratepayers. 

“Natural gas itself is completely unregulated. That’s the cheap part of it,” said Dale Nesbitt, president of ArrowHead Economics and a Stanford-trained economist who has modeled energy markets since 1974. “The pipe is regulated. That’s where you’re getting screwed. That’s where the fees are fixed.” . . . More.

Democrat candidate says Trump supporters should be put in concentration camps – The News Beyond Detroit

"North Carolina Democrat state legislative candidate Shelly Headen recently took to Facebook to post a picture from her vacation to Germany.

"Was the pic perhaps of a bucolic Oktoberfest scene? The Alps? The North Sea? A Black Forest torte?

"Nope, Headen was shown standing in front of crematorium ovens in Dachau, an erstwhile German concentration camp, now a somber memorial. She chose the accompanying words to complement the photo: “Visiting Dauchau [sic] Concentration Camp in Germany … This is where Trump supporters belong.”

"At least 41,500 people were murdered there. How is this possible?

"Astoundingly, on her Facebook page, Headen asserts that she is a CPA and business owner “running to restore human decency.”

"There is no metaphor, allusion, simile, or other semantic device that can come close to illustrating the insanity and depravity of that assertion. It is as insane as someone stating that a person who viciously murdered all three of her kids is “a darn good mother.” Oh, wait, that recently happened, too.

"One might think that suggesting that one’s political opponents be subjected to mass extermination by crematorium ovens would not be a particularly good look for a politician. However, at this point who knows? Maybe it was just her hormones acting up.

"Long-time readers know I often write about truth. The truth which we are Biblically encouraged to seek." . . . 

"I am not a “truther,” in the sense that I don’t believe the 9/11 conspiracy theories, in specific. But it should be noted that a great many other “conspiracy theories” have proven to be true. A number of which I wrote about at the time. (Russian collusion, COVID, etc., etc.) If that makes me a truther, so be it. If we aren’t willing to stand up for even the most obvious — and important — truths, what will we stand up for? Nothing that matters." 

Democrats and Antisemitism in the Midterms

"Will Michigan voters ratify this rise of antisemitism in the November midterm election? And is this antisemitism limited to the Michigan Democrat Party? Will it spread around the country? And will it become an issue in the 2028 presidential election?"  Jeffrey Lord

Historic newspaper gives El-Sayed a savage rebuke for hiding his past while endorsing his opponent   . . . "He has deleted social media posts that reportedly called into question his attitude about America in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He's taken down roughly 100 YouTube videos that paint an unflattering picture of him and his cultural views," the conservative-leaning newspaper argued. "A candidate who feels the need to hide his past from voters is not someone who can be trusted to be the same person after Election Day as he was on the campaign trail." . . .

Democrats and Antisemitism in the Midterms | The American Spectator | USA News and Politics   . . . "Over there in The Atlantic, one finds this in a profile of El-Sayed during the recent Michigan Democrat primary:

Were he to win, and then go on to defeat Mike Rogers, the presumed Republican candidate, El-Sayed would become the most fervently anti-Zionist senator. “If you want your politics dictated to you by AIPAC or Chuck Schumer, then I’m not your guy,” he said during a debate with Stevens … El-Sayed depicts Israel and its American supporters as the primary authors of Donald Trump’s foreign policy. He also blames Israel and AIPAC for a wide array of domestic social problems.

"In short? In short, El-Sayed brings nothing new to the 2026 midterms with the exception of a decided antisemitism. A plain, old-fashioned hatred of Jews — whether those Jews are in Israel or here in America.

"There is a larger issue here as this Michigan Senate election unfolds — not to mention as the entire raft of midterm elections across the country unfolds.

"That would be the role of antisemitism in the larger Democrat Party. Here in my own state of Pennsylvania, Democrat Governor Josh Shapiro is running for re-election against the GOP’s state treasurer Stacy Garrity." . . . More.

The Lindsay Clancy Frenzy Won't Die, and It Keeps Getting More Depressing UPDATED

"During her next media tour stop, juror Paula Devlin says the mostly female jury knew the Lindsay Clancy trial could create change to “make it better for other women.'” Collin Rugg

"I would say that it's time to reopen the insane asylums, but there wouldn't be enough space to keep all the crazies locked up. 

"I am trying to wrap my head around the increasing frequency and severity of societal manias, and the only thing I can conclude is that, for most people, it is not their rational faculties, but rather social norms set by society and enforced by shame that keep them grounded, and that those social norms have to be grounded in religious values that are held to be authoritative. 

"I'm not arguing that because I think the world (and our souls) would be better off if everybody were Christian; I believe that stable, functioning societies can be built on social norms stemming from other religious traditions, although I don't hold that all are of equal value. 

Home - Comically Incorrect

"Nor do I believe that a society based on Christian values cannot fall astray, just as individuals do. Otherwise, civilized societies can fall into moral manias that make us scratch our heads in wonder. Germany, Japan, and China have all gone insane at some point, despite each having long traditions of sophisticated societies with great cultural achievements. 

"But it's pretty clear to me that when fairly rigid, religiously-based, moral structures disperse and become vague or nonexistent, moral chaos and perversion necessarily follow. And over the past century, as Christianity has died as a dominant cultural force, Western societies are morally at sea, and demonic forces have filled the void. 

"Now, when I see people saying insane things on TV or on the internet, I know intellectually that their moral frame of reference is the source of that insanity, not necessarily the actual reasoning capabilities of the people spewing nonsense. Within the moral framework within which they are acting, everything makes sense. It's the perverse framework that needs fixing, at least first." . . .More.
