May 19, 2024 a thought for today, The strong will protect the weak and, in return, the weak will serve the strong. Japanese Proverb
My first upload for yesterday was “still life”. This is my peppermint plant growing in the hydroponic solution taking off in its wild nature.
The last upload for yesterday was “shop front”. This is one of the shop fronts in a small mall near home.
Life today. Attendance at church was pretty low again today but some of my personal interests were there. That was nice. This was a day that we recognized and honored our Sunday School teacher and the choir members and director. We rearranged our fellowship date in order to celebrate that event with cake and ice cream as opposed to just doughnuts. That was also pleasant and meaningful.
One of Sue’s twin great grand daughters came to visit for a while too today. Another pleasant time in the day.
My peppermint plants that I have started in the hyperbolic process is going wild and has encouraged me to add a couple of plants to my collection. One I am looking for is a geranium plant. My neighbor is going to give me a cutting from one of his plants. My grand daughter in law is going to give me a cutting from her Monatera plant. I have two others in mind so I will order those two.
This will be one of the relax and renew days for me since it is Sunday. I have only two things I have to accomplish today.....making chicken “meat” balls for Sweet Pea and uploading today church service to Facebook from a memory card, that is in process right now and will take the rest of the afternoon.
Next is an upload called “feather”. I have a bird making her nest in the roof gutter outside my back door but she has not left me a keep sake feather. This one is from my archives.
The word today is example. Society is always taken by surprise at any new example of common sense. Ralph Waldo Emerson. Example is the school of mankind, and they will learn at no other. Edmund Burke. Imagine for yourself a character, a model personality, whose example you determine to follow, in private as well as in public. Epictetus. He that gives good advice, builds with one hand; he that gives good counsel and example, builds with both; but he that gives good admonition and bad example, builds with one hand and pulls down with the other. Francis Bacon. History is Philosophy teaching by example. Thucydides. Go before the people with your example, and be laborious in their affairs. Confucius. Example is the best precept. Aesop. The best way to understanding is a few good examples. Isaac Newton. Preach by example of your lives rather than by words. Example is the very best sermon. Rose Philippine Duchesne. Education commences at the mother's knee, and every word spoken within hearsay of little children tends toward the formation of character. Hosea Ballou. No man is so insignificant as to be sure his example can do no hurt. Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of Clarendon We are in truth, more than half what we are by imitation. The great point is to choose good models and to study them with care. Lord Chesterfield. Example is a dangerous lure: where the wasp got through the gnat sticks fast. Jean de La Fontaine. No reproof or denunciation is so potent as the silent influence of a good example. Hosea Ballou. The blossom cannot tell what becomes of its odor, and no person can tell what becomes of his or her influence and example. Henry Ward Beecher. Example, whether it be good or bad, has a powerful influence. George Washington. Nothing is so contagious as example; and we never do any great good or evil which does not produce its like. Francois de La Rochefoucauld.
Article: Seems like AI is beginning to affect all parts of our lives at this time in history. This article will shed yet another view of its action. The title is “Newsrooms are experimenting with generative AI, warts and all”. A profession of Philosophy of Applied Ethics wrote it . The article begins with the statement that journalists have recently been experimenting with the “generative AI to boost their productivity”. Recently a survey was conducted in which 70% of the journalists said they had used the tools to generate text. They have used it in drafts, headlines and social media posts. It goes on to explore whether it poses any “moral questions” especially since in “this business” professional ethics and public trust are important. The author of the story mentioned that they, journalists, must be careful to care for the integrity of their work. He also mentions that AI is still unreliable and can, at this point, produce unreliable information. Some of the process could turn reports from writers to editors which may lead to altering “the nature” of what they want to accomplish. There is the fact that writing the draft leads to new ideas to add or edit. Human ideas “change and take shape” as they are jotted down. AI is improving with time but we have to consider the well established and honored “relationship between writers and their readers.”
Maybe potato soup and a piece of fish for dinner.
