At least! My mother is the size of a Goldcrest and eats like a horse! Disgraceful! 🤣 Maybe it's four square with snacks in between. It just feels like fifteen.
Toast with ham, toast with cheese, toast with tomato, toast with any or all of the above... but meals have to be meals...apparently! I'm not as bad today thankfully so toast with marmalade, orange juice (freshly squeezed natch 😲) cereal (optional) and a pot of tea is all set out ready for her 'to make'.
Why do people do horrible things to bay trees? It seems to me it's like the horse you'd almost trained to eat nothing and then, for no apparent reason, it suddenly died.
I'm not sure what I've done this time. I only suggested my wife needs to pull her finger out and get making some crumbles to help use up all the apples and got a very short answer indicating that I should make my own crumbles. Now she doesn't even want me to show her how I made crumbles that are better than the ones she used to make. You can't win.
I also thought I was starting to make a dent in the massive pile of apples that need processing but it turns out the kids made a fun game where they transferred loads into their den for some reason. It's still better than the fun game that involved them eating all my cherry tomatoes though.
I've got a box of free apples out on the drive and I'm always amazed how few people take them. Maybe they don't want to risk having a domestic over who cooks the crumbles.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
How the human mind works. One of the things we seem to value in humans is their ability to problem solve, to learn, to delve...we educate humans for decades of their lives. This has led to AI - but AI then potentially stops man (Shaun) doing any of that stuff as AI can do it faster, better, cheaper. Even without any other existential threat, what does man then become?
Add on top of that, that AI is being trained on what man has done. Man's history is a catalogue of inhumanity - man has no respect for anything (apart from power), let alone other men. Then add that AI is being trained specifically kill man in an efficient way.
Who could even begin to think that any of this is a good idea? What idiots think they can control something that is vastly more intelligent than them and that controls all aspects of life? Can you name one period in man's history where learning stopped?
The pain being, like nuclear, as soon as we started on the science road, AI was inevitable, even if we wanted to stop it, could we? Weaponisation of AI was then as inevitable as the weaponisation of a stick, a stone metal, fire, gunpowder. I really never thought I'd be alive to see this 'birth'.
I wonder what would happen if you replaced our political system with AI? I still get the feeling that being enslaved by robots would be better than capitalism for most people.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
AI isn't 'vastly more intelligent'. It can be stopped at the flick of a switch. That isn't to say that it isn't extremely dangerous in the wrong hands.
I would also question the claim that AI can do things better. Many repetitive tasks can be done faster and cheaper by automation, but AI still has to be taught. So even when operating autonomously it has the same, if not higher, risk of making the wrong decisions based on wrong assumptions. The human brain is more likely to pick up on those errors faster than a machine.

I’ve a feeling she likes toast? Is there plenty of bread in the freezer ? 🤞
