I’ve voiced #ScotRail trains for 20 years. No one told me AI was replacing me

THE woman who has been the voice of ScotRail trains for 20 years only learned she was being replaced after a friend heard the new #synthetic #voice onboard.

Sounds like a great design challenge. Automatic grounding, tension based charge cutting. Grid intelligence, staff reporting, network notifying.

It is land already set aside for energy, already set back from residences, already along the paths of delivery for energy, already often owned directly by government or assigned in law and regulations.

“…as for Homan’s ‘fresh’ idea of creating a hotline, well, there is already an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) tipline where you can report crimes like document and benefit fraud, illegal immigration, human trafficking, and many other offenses. It has existed for more than twenty years, and it takes 15,000 calls a month.”

Homan is cruel and incompetent.

EVs Are Selling Well For Everyone ( Except Tesla )
But there is a bullcrap line in media that evs are not selling.

Is it Exxon sleeper agents, or Tesla bribes? GMs Board wants to go under. So who is dumping lies gets complicated.

But EV sales are up 53% FIFTY THREE PER CENT
And KPMG accountant's says that already more than half of Canadians "will never buy a gas car again."

It seems the EV transition is going just fine.
