AI – ChatGPT 4

AI is extremely and eerily intriguing to me. ChatGPT has been out a few months now. In the past month, or so, I have become more fascinated with conversations I can have with ChatGPT. It is mind-blowingly amazing. I am excited to jump on the bandwagon. Yet, there is a bit of an eerie feeling about, it as well. For example, Glenn Beck did an “interview” with ChatGPT-4, that I discovered just now. It is enthralling from the beginning to the end. It is a little unsettling that I had to keep reminding myself that the responses to Glenn’s questions were not from a human.

Look at the date of the article! This was less than a month ago. AI! Right here, right now. It is interesting to contemplate the answers this Chatbot gave. There are several answers to Glenn’s questions worth pondering. As well as thoughts about the repercussions of a world with AI capabilities.

Here is the link for the article:

Burning the Candle at Both Ends

Why do we need sleep? I wish it weren’t so. Can you imagine all that we could accomplish if only we did not have to spend several hours sleeping every single day?! As each day winds down, so does my body. It’s like a rechargeable battery winding down and needing a re-charge before a new day can begin, but why? Could our bodies not have been made to just keep going, like a solar-powered calculator that never needs recharged?

Alas, that is not the way it works. We need sleep to recharge and maintain good health. Yet, here I am burning the candle at both ends. When I was younger that candle sure could burn a lot longer. Guess I should just be grateful it still burns…and that I’m not a bear! 😉

What could you accomplish if you did not need sleep every night?

You did your job… Good Bye

It used to be that if one wanted to keep their job, they needed to do a good job at work. Now, we have reached a place in society where not only can one lose a job for doing poorly at their job, one can lose their job if they are extremely good at what they do. You can be one of the best at what you do and still lose your job. Look at what happened to Tucker Carlson this week. Fox News fired him without warning. For what? Doing a good job? One report by the LA Times says Tucker is gone because Fox News and Tucker Carlson “…agreed to part ways.” It seemed like a one way parting. However, those become a two-way parting when one is being told they are being fired. Who would want to stay after that?

The truth will come out. Tucker will be fine. He will probably be better than fine. He will land on his feet and become richer than he already is. That is not the point. The point is, from the vantage point of today, he was let go for doing his job. A job he did well. Since that is they optics of Tucker being let go, some of his supports will let their money speak. They will stop watching Fox News. They will unsubscribe from Fox Nation. They will boycott Fox the way they did Bud Light. Will it make a difference? Should it make a difference? It is one way their voice can be heard about the unfairness they see happening, in this case, in the firing of one of the good honest guys.

Oh, as usually is the case, information will come out a little at a time that may shed further light on the matter. Until then, we are left to wonder why.

Blogging

Blogging can be exciting, yet perplexing and overwhelming. If you like to write and you like the social aspect of blogging your thoughts and opinions, blogging is a great way to go about getting your thoughts out there. The questions that come to mind when beginning to blog are: How and Where to begin?

There are several blogging options, depending on whether you want to use a free blog or a paid site. Either works fine. The best way to get started blogging is to start. Somewhere. Anywhere. My first blog was on blogspot. It is a great place to begin blogging. Just click on the link and get started.

If you want more control over your blog creation, WordPress.com is a great place for learning and using more advanced features available to create your blog the way you want it.

There are a few decisions to be made prior to starting a blog. A few are: What will you name your blog? Will your blog address a particular topic? Do you have an area of expertise you are willing to share? Will you blog about your favorites? Will your blog be a personal blog and be written like a journal?

These questions have been a big stumbling block for me, in the past. I haven’t wanted simply to be stuck blogging about one topic, even if it is a topic I am passionate about. I want to write about a variety of topics. I want to share experiences, opinions, thoughts and insights about the things are interesting to me at this time in my life. And, I want to learn from others. Mine is a personal blog that will cover a plethora of topics that I hope will spur interesting discussions and shared thoughts.

Do what I did. Just start blogging! And, see where it takes you!
