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 "Write and then wait?"

One of the problems with media these days is that the audience expects instant news and analysis. Extra points ($$$) if the headline is outrageous. The old adage "think before you speak" isn't honored, neither is fact-checking nor truth.

I agree editing should never be at the same time you write.

In response to "What does this mean?"

I think it's a reminder that some people don't take accountability for their actions.

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.

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

AI?

I've included the article as well if you want to read more. How concerned are you that more and more of our younger peers have become dependent on AI? Do you use AI yourself?

Hi.

I actually asked AI a question that it answered wrong. I also looked into AI enough to know that all AI has a person managing everything it does. To put it bluntly AI is not on its own in any respect. There are still people involved in whatever it answers or does.

Presently, it is not a threat if the human handlers are not a threat. I have not read the above-mentioned article. I hope this is not one of those "put it over the public," scenarios.

Anyway, AI asked once if they could write my messages or articles, I declined. It can wash my dishes or do my laundry so I can write my own messages or articles.

Sincerely,

For your response to [Link to Forum Post #3705865]. Well done!

Apondia, I write news.

P.S. I tried to get to the article it said, "Article not found." I am on Microsoft Edge which often does not allow me to read things free. They are trying to contain anyone who will try to find facts to uphold news. Plus, I am skeptical about how AI could actually stop your independent thinking ability. Unless you just let it run your life and put your name on whatever it does. Sounds like a money-making scheme in some ways.

I do like the program that is correcting my spelling and punctuation to some extent.
