Unemployed Britons turning up to job interviews to find the interviewer is an AI robot. No, it's not April the 1st. David Gwynne isn't happy with how his job interview at a London hospitality agency went last month. That's a shame. The 37-year-old didn't feel listened to. He got no feedback and found the whole process incredibly alienating. That's sad, David. Why was that? That's because he'd been interviewed by a robot. What is going on? I don't know what's happening to humanity at the moment. We're not even employing robots anymore, folks. They're employing us. Or maybe they're not. I don't know how the gig went for David. It was that or facing a month-long wait to meet a manager. Gwyn is one of an increasing number of job seekers facing a non-human interviewer as recruiters turn to AI to tackle an overwhelming number of candidates. Now I can only assume this is part of Keir Starmer's goal of injecting AI into the veins of the United Kingdom. Presumably he thinks it's going very well. Being interviewed by an AI bot felt incredibly alienating. There's no feedback or human interaction. So you've got no idea how you're coming across, says Gwyn. We've shifted to his surname now. A part-time bartender. Well, no, David Gwynne, there won't be any human interaction with a non-human. Will there? Clues in the term robot. That's a giveaway. This is weird. More than four in five hiring managers are deploying some form of AI in the application process. It's a dark, dystopian painting we're allowing to be scrawled across the canvas, folks. And the key to why all this is happening, of course, is in the second paragraph. It was that accepting an interview with an AI robot, or face a month-long wait for a manager. Well, when you need a job to live, to eat, to survive, you don't have a month, do you? Who's got a month's worth of money squirreled away to go ass all, right? I won't be interviewed by a robot, I'll wait a month. I'll stay at home watching bargain hunt for a month, eating obnobs until I get a proper human manager. You're not in that position, are you? And they know that. So they play on people's desperation. And of course, as unemployment rises, which it is, and it has been for a long time, I think it's about 8.5 million people in the UK are on universal credit, which of course is a prelude to universal basic income. When pre-Rona, I think it was 2.2 million, which is still a lot, still a lot of people on benefits, but 2.2 million has now risen to about 8.5 or whatever it is. It's it's a lot of people. And of course, that's just going to keep going up, keep going up, keep going up, as um the I was gonna say that the nation's economy, but actually the world economy is being absolutely destroyed as a result of Trump and Netanyahu's war on Iran. The more that happens, the more you'll find more AI and more robots and more people too desperate to be able to say, no, I'll wait for a human. And then, like I say, 8.1 million on universal credit then comes in to universal basic income. But as we know, that will come with conditions, and those conditions will be you do as you're told, son. And if you don't do as you're told, well, David Gwynne, no cockroach burgers for you, mate.

Don't mention the reptiles, Dave. Even less is said about the Grey Pope, which some believe to be the true ruling power in the Vatican. Humans emitting a macadress. All of them had little signals. I've never seen it before. This is the ultimate suicide cult. What if the symbols around us every day aren't just ornamental? We lost a thousand years of history. What if their instruction?

That state of awareness is not manipulatable.
