Advanced AI models and the systems being built with them are already capable of ingesting, executing and improving most human roles in the economy. We have begun to move into the early stages of a Post Labor Economy, where homo-sapiens will be unable to compete with their ML/AI counterparts. The discovery of the path to AGI was based on the harvesting and ingestion of the collective works of human society as a whole, both contemporary and historic. Therefore, ultimately, the gains must be shared with the populations as part of our collective legacy. It was built on data from us, and therefore we are all shareholders. Further, the time remaining to discuss, collaborate and negotiate the mechanisms and dynamics of the AI dividend is evaporating faster than expected, leaving us precariously prone to sudden far reaching market impacts, a series of which could very well come at any time. This work seeks to give the reader an inside look into the the frontier realities of hyper current AI systems, their evolution past and present, and a case for the universal inclusion, by all, of the economic benefits reaped from collective contributions.

In the fog-slicked back alleys of 1888 Whitechapel, an unprecedented evil abides. Scotland Yard, Parliament and even the Crown are jittery: Since the Trafalgar Sq occupation and brutal crackdown the year before, confidence in the police has never been lower or the threat of revolution higher as the first City Council elections approach: Opportunism breeds like rats for anarchists and newspapermen recklessly exploiting the murders for their own political and financial ends. Desperate for a solution, Queen Victoria grants harried Chief Inspector Fred Abberline her permission to use legendary showman Buffalo Bill and his friends Annie Oakley, Sitting Bull and others to bring Jack the Ripper to ground, all of whom having their own motives for doing so. Vividly narrated by Cody''s young official cinematographer Scott Carson, Tatterdemalion is the tale of how Buffalo Bill''s posse, aided by Sigmund Freud, Arthur Conan-Doyle and his real-life Baker Street Irregulars pursued history''s most elusive serial killer. By the harrowing conclusion, no one in this ad hoc investigatory team will ever see innocence the same way as these legends use 19th century frontier justice and modern science on, in Carson''s words, an emerging 20th century evil, "rendering redundant the necessity of embellishment or dramatization."

He studied at Kells and entered into the ministry where he was respected and influential among Presbytarians. He was married and the father of at least one daughter who resided in Belfast.

Along the way, Mother Yasenta helps the children in an unexpected way, prompting Flora to help Gideon to achieve his dream of going to school.Heifer International has helped millions of families achieve their dreams of education, income and enough to eat through the gifts of farm animals and training.
