However, Fil’s topic of discussion from Feb 1, 2025, has nothing to do with the world of music, but instead for the first time, he felt it necessary to discuss Great Britain’s latest knucklehead idea – their prime minister stated publicly, that they are behind in AI, therefore he wants to turn the UK into an AI superpower.

Who would incarcerate citizens, torture, starve, gas and work millions of people to death, “just because”…

Regardless of how long you’ve been into photography, I think it’s always wise to keep an open mind about improving your skills. Therefore, I’m happy to share Simon d’Entremont’s YouTube Channel.
