Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

Rated: E · Book · Experience · #2050107

A Journal to impart knowledge and facts

July 22, 2015

I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done.

I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them.

I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC.

In response to "Cell phones"

I miss my landline some times because I always gave that when a phone was needed and never volunteered that I had a cell phone so I could avoid texts.

I agree with you Spring does have it's entertaining moments.

Haha! Very creative. I love that she referred to the hat as odds and ends.

Ides means center I think.

In response to "Ides or the center of the month"

I knew about Ceasar, but was surprised to find out how far back that dates goes when it comes to disasters. It's no wonder Shakespeare went for that date

In response to "Ides or the center of the month"

March is a time of change or leading to change. At least in Montana and Kansas. Where I grew up, near to you, April was change. Same in Thailand and Costa Rica. Either winter calm giving way to storms or heat building until rains poured down. The Ides of April is the 13th.

Imho, a certain contemporary leader needs to be wary of the Ides.

In response to "AI?"

I have so many mixed feelings about A.I.: at once horrified and awe-struck. I think it's a good tool to construct processes, plans, and maybe toward the very end of a writing process it's like a sterile pair of eyes. I want it to have as little to do with my creative process as possible. Honestly, it just feels...wrong.

I've explored interesting philosophical queries with it, including past-life regression. Those "conversations" are usually a ton of fun.

What role do humans play behind the steering whell, Lyn? I wasn't aware of that. Let us know if you can find the link, too, please!

I deeply fear for the youth. I teach adult students and when I assign them in-class projects, the majority of what they present is A.I. generated. It's obvious: word choices, turns of phrase, and...they're reading quite a bit off their screen monotonously, without deep acquisition. I use an A.I. detector and give 0's to work that is A.I.-made. You'd be surprised the % that still use it for their writing. It's troubling.

No the problem lies much deeper than that.
