Plane Watch

Raymond Baxter to provide the commentary on it landing. Old tv reference there

That can be arranged.

Alright — let me channel Raymond Baxter, the voice of Tomorrow’s World and the BBC’s aviation coverage. Here’s how he might narrate a sleek business jet landing:

“And here she comes now… a most elegant little aeroplane, the very embodiment of modern corporate travel. Just watch as she makes her approach — you’ll notice the rather quiet, almost understated sound of those rear-mounted turbofans, a world away from the thunderous transports of old. The pilot has configured her beautifully: gear down, flaps extended, everything set for a smooth arrival.

Notice too the poise on final — she doesn’t so much descend as she settles, the nose perfectly balanced, the wings absolutely steady. And now… just a gentle flare — the wheels touch, almost imperceptibly — yes, there it is, a kiss of rubber on tarmac. Very little drama, simply an air of quiet assurance. This is technology doing precisely what it was designed to do: to convey its passengers swiftly, comfortably, and above all, safely, from one place to another. Magnificent.”

A work of art, like being back in my living room as a bairn on a Sunday in the 80's. Well done

Ffs man creativity is dead. In 3 years when we all have AI chip implants there will be no individuality, you'll just pick from a selection of preset personalities. Anyone will be able to write songs or be comedians, you won't need to go to uni as you'll just save up for the relevant programme and install it into your brain, medicine and law ones will cost £200,000 or more to ensure the class system remains. Sometimes you'll be out with your mates and two of you will be on the same preset and you'll be finishing each others sentences and jokes. Football clubs will focus on developing their own presets like a free kick and penalty taking package, so the cartel will keep their advantage with their higher research budget.

I'll be one of the ones living in the woods attacking cyborgs with sticks.
