Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

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.

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.

In response to "Spring Thoughts"

Yes, an orchard sounds nice. What apple varieties do you have? Any pears?

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.
