A critical discussion I would love you to join. How much is the algorithm, that we are feeding with every click, influencing our reading and our writing and our life choices and what to do about it.
so much going on here in the states, I'm going on with my life as best I can, all the while protesting, calling, resisting, I've become an activist out of necessity, but also have not lost my desire to be kind and empathetic, it's even more important now, and I see you are doing the same, you haven't lost that
De-fanged! Thanks for letting me get my fangs into this new perspective. I certainly use AI actively for several things, I expect I'm using Machine Learning in things I don't even think about... But I don't want them to suck all the life and soul out of what I'm doing.
Also, where is the ginger cat snuggled? In a tree protector?
In a black shopping bag! We use AI all the time without thinking about it. And instead of being trained I am trying to train it back. It needs constant managing though!! Good morning!
Feeling a little offkilter today. I’m not at home but dog sitting for my son and daughter-in-law while they take a much-needed rest in Rarotonga. But I’m not surrounded by my things and I feel a little lost without them. Of course I have my three devices so I can keep in touch. I regularly dog sit for them and so I’m not sure why I feel out of kilter. But I’m sure a walk on the beach will put things if not totally right at least in place.
I’m trying very hard to get off the habit of buying. I need no more clothes and today I returned a sweater that I was determined to buy, but that I don’t need. I have been tidying drawers and have recently found a woman who collects used bras for sending off to Fiji. Other undies will be put into the rag collection bin and I have always collected tights for tying supports to plants. But I have a long way to go to live a sustainable life.
In the last couple of years my son has removed much of the flower planting and replaced it with food planting. All the vegetables I am eating while I’m here are from his garden and I propose to reinstate my pots and tubs with food plants when I return home. The money saved on the sweater return today will be spent on vegetables seeds.
That’s my ramble for today. Hope all is going well with the mother to be.
That is a wonderful ramble full of great stuff. Hopefully a couple of walks on the beach will help with the off-kilter ness. Sometimes we simply get days like that - I don’t think anyone is exempt. I find if I spend a little time in the garden I feel much better.
Good to hear from you with all this. As for the algorithm, one adage that helps me is "First we form our habits, then our habits form us." Have a good day there
Thank you so much David and thank you for the Share!! That is so kind! I am off to take the long suffering dog for a walk then I intend to pop over and read your latest article. Looking forward to it.

You are so right! It is critical to hold on to empathy. Or we lose our very souls .

And all those fresh veges! How marvelous.

Good morning Hans! Yes, that is the perfect quote for an algorithm. Have a great day.
I think your T-shirt slogan is great! You could probably sell a lot.
Would that be great!!
Wow an amazing tour d’ force, I’n still reeling. Bravo!!!
