SAUDI ARABIA’S PLAN TO CREATE VIRTUAL REALITY CUBE CITY
SAUDI ARABIA’S GIANT VIRTUAL REALITY CUBE CITY
After revealing controversial plans to create "The Line" city, Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has unveiled "New Murabba" - a city equipped with a giant virtual reality cube at the center.
The New Murabba Development Company claimed that the city will be a home to “hundreds of thousands of residents” and will be fully sustainable.
Its cube-shaped skyscraper will be so large that it could fit 20 Empire State Buildings, making it one of the largest built structures in the world. Digital and virtual projections will be displayed throughout the cube's interior.
HUNGARIAN NATIONAL ASSEMBLY SPEAKER DENOUNCES ANTI-CHRISTIAN WEST
On the day of commemoration of the victims of communism, speaker of the National Assembly of Hungary, László Kövér, denounced the anti-Christian ideas in vogue among the Western elite and warned of the looming threat posed by those sympathetic to Marxism.
While speaking to a crowd, Kövér pointed out that the Western world is currently facing a troubling trend of anti-Christian sentiment.
“The shocking anti-Christianity that is gnawing in the Western world today, the proliferation of ideologies alien to reality that deny basic biological, economic and cultural facts, the increasingly open opposition to private property or even the appearance of political terror groups are nothing but an attempt to return to communist ideas and practice,” said Kövér.
"Since then, we Hungarians have known for sure: wherever the communist scourge rears its head, there always comes violence, suffering, oppression and looting in its wake.”
He went on to say that “common sense, the common good and the public interest” are under attack in Western democracies.
“If there is no memory, no storytelling, then there is no identity,” said Kövér.
UK MAN USES AI TO GET A TRAFFIC TICKET REDUCED
A UK man had a traffic fine greatly reduced after he submitted an appeal that was entirely written by AI.
Brighton resident Shaun Bosley was facing a ticket for improper use of an airport drop-off area at Gatwick Airport.
Bosley claims he never received any warning about the ticket until he received a 'final notice' a few months after the fact, warning him that he would have to pay £100.
He then turned to the AI program ChatGPT to write him an appeal letter based on some basic prompts.
“In the end, I just typed, ‘write an appeal to a penalty charge notice for driving through Gatwick airport. I have received final notice, but never received first notice of the penalty’, and straight away it came back with a great response,” said Bosley.
After submitting the letter produced by ChatGPT to the National Car Parks, the authority reduced the fine to £15.
“I believe that the debt collection process has been premature and I request that you reconsider the penalties imposed,” the letter read.
SPAIN ALLOWS GENDER CHANGES FOR 16-YEAR-OLDS
Spain’s socialist government passed new legislation that permits individuals to change their gender freely from the age of 16.
A gender change will be as simple as a single administrative declaration. Prior to the recent change in the law, individuals identifying as transgender were required to obtain a medical diagnosis from multiple doctors confirming their gender dysphoria.
"Today we have taken a giant step forward (by allowing) free determination of gender identity" said Spain’s equality minister Irene Montero.
"We have always been on the right side of history and today justice has been done.”
Spain’s Popular Party opposed the bill, pointing to other countries which now struggle as a result of similar laws.
"We've all heard about countries backtracking because they now realise they were too hasty and it has caused a lot of suffering. Let's not go through the same thing,” said Popular Party MP Maria Jesus Moro.
ACTRESS CALLS FOR A COMMUNIST STATE IN FRANCE
An award-winning French actress called for the establishment of a communist state in France and accused the nation’s government of being composed of rapists.
On Feb. 20, actress Adèle Haenel made the controversial claims during a meeting of the far-left group Bread and Roses.
“Today, if the government begins to agitate the fact of saying that this reform is feminist, it is all the more worrying that this government is in itself composed of rapists,” said Haenel.
Haenel went on to demand the French people “overthrow capitalism.”
“We are not against their shitty world, we are already inviting another in fact. We have lots of ideas about what a post-capitalist, that is to day communist world should be.”
