Shhhhhh

Surely the main thing about a spy network is that it remains anonymous. It might be that what we have is a brief window into the area because somebody was silly enough to commit it to paper where the names might end up being compromised.
We probably never hear about the best espionage networks

Oh la la...

When I read the article about it in our paper I was quite blown away with the idea of a "luxury souvenir" .
I suppose it's a change from a decorated tea towel, or a tacky mantlepiece ornament

 

Yeah, I just had to include this news piece dredged from the gutters of modern journalism.  Hopefully, it will raise Dave's spirits during his convalescence.

And if you are wondering just how this item, which is a mere 200 years old, qualifies for this Forum, I would point out that the rather good quality illustration is, in fact, a parody of the Judgement of Paris from Greek mythology.  So there!

 

Maybe its because our brains are too highly trained...

Possibly because the experts charge at an horrendous hourly rate for their opinion, whereas the AI simply rips off everyone else's work for nothing...

...or just makes things up out of its imagination.  Then you need to pay the expert a small fortune to tell you where it is telling fibs.   

Shhhhhh
