BBC interviewed locals :

Casseem Campbell, 28, said he had seen objects above his house in Beck Row.

He described seeing a triangle-shaped aerial vehicle, which was "a grey, dark colour", in one of two evening sightings of drones he had made in the past week.

"They were really noisy and had lights. They looked official to be honest.

"If they are a threat, why aren’t they being shot down? Why let them fly over if they’re sinister?"

Most religions in China get the same treatment from the CCP.

Christian communities have had similar experiences.

In 2016, thousands of crosses were torn down from churches throughout Zhejiang Province. The authorities have also broken up congregations that have not been approved by the state, while church leaders have been arrested and jailed.

The demolition of domes, crosses and minarets and their replacement by Chinese-styled tiled roofs and Buddhist-styled pagodas. It involves mandatory patriotic education for Buddhist, Christian and Muslim clergy and it entails party-approved sermons and prayers.

South of Xinjiang in Tibet, the authorities have restricted the practice of Tibetan Buddhism over the last decade. Religious festivals have been banned more frequently and government employees, teachers and students have been barred from participating in religious activities.

That's what AI companies want, you don't have a job and they pay you with UBI in Compute Coins, so you can spend by using their digital wallet (Altman has Worldcoin).

This is just an Utopia world for the rich and a Dystopia world for most of us.

I think, what Altman means by Compute is the same as something like Credit Points or Coins. Which you can use to pay bills, rent, buy groceries, etc.

This is just an excuse from a billionaire to not give you UBI in cash and prefer to use Coins from their digital system and buy their products.
