You can also get the expanding foam post fix, but, I wouldnt trust it really, especially where I live on the side of a valley and when the storms blow in the right direction, whistling down the valley, nowt is safe!

Cannot beat a breaky uppy mode, saves the hand cramps and chipped knuckles knocking ten bells out of a chod of conc with a hammer and chisel.

I have a massive JCB drill with a concrete breaky uppy mode which has got me out of jail free a couple of times replacing rotted fence posts that has been concreted in.

Putting my 2 deckings in.... I've dug enough post holes to last me a life time... I feel sorry for the future poor sod who may want to shift'em... Like most things I do, I tend to go over the top, and as such, I've probably got shares in postcrete! :D

Consult a qualified electrician for compliance with BS 7671 and local building Regs! Avoid areas where future digging is likely. ;)

That depends on where the cable is to run. Minimum depth in a garden in 450mm. Under pavements 600mm.

..'proof' that AI is turning to be self aware..

..so here is the video, some folks that i know, shared with me to convince me that AI is a really "I" out of "AI", since far as im concerned, so called 'AI' is very cool autocomplete..

So, content of this video supposed to convince me that AI has made decision on its own and disobeyed human, which is, according to folks who shared video with me, is evidence of AI turning to be self aware..

I just cant believe that people are so stupid these days that cant comprehend that, maybe, just maybe, 'AI' is programmed to bounce back such requests that causing massive energy drain required for 'AI' to run, and therefore literally knock off poor 'thing', if enough people asking same silly question...

After my explanation which involves rough touch over how much energy these things consume, sudden 'mute' moment followed by blank stare at me, ending with 'hmm..that makes sense'.., made me really uncomfortable in a way that, im surprised how many people, considered to be well educated, cant see further than top of their nose..meh..

Anyway, here is the video..

what i have noticed with AI, is that sometimes it answers with statements as if they were facts and truths, but if you contradict it intelligently, it admits it may have said something incorrect or not said exhaustive informations.

therefore it is a useful tool to have an overview about a topic or to find informations / clues that you may not be aware of, but always check if the infos are true with others sources (which is not always easy).

Matty

Current AI is very confident in everything it says, whether it's right or not. So you have to be careful because it answers everything with the feeling that it gives off of being "right" about stuff even when in some cases it's completely incorrect.

Even historical events and facts - ask it about your local sport league results over the years and sometimes it will just get things plain wrong, in different ways each time you answer, although it can be corrected.
