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. |

Bing research: Reference: https://kids.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frym.2020.00054 Absolutely not, is the answer to the P21 above. If you cannot use your brain for new learning experience it will slow down. The Chat GPT will cause you to have new learning experiences. You will have reasons to use the 85 billion neurons encased in your brain. If you want to stay alive keep learning new ideas. Because it is basically a machine it will take its' ideas from humans. When using the software, it will still be necessary to know what you are doing and how the software should be responding. The neurons of the brain need to keep active in order for your body to run smoothly as you age. Every new learning experience, as you age, prevents loss of mental abilities. Try learning math, or reading nonfiction books about something you were always curious about or learn to use a new machine to cook with or clean your house. Computers brought in so many learning opportunities. Take a course in writing. How to write fiction or nonfiction is two different systems. Each has their own way of developing a story. Even though the Bot will be able to write something for you; you will have to edit and put your stamp of approval on the content. Stories are written with a certain age bracket in mind and other necessary criteria. It will be up to the writer to make sure the story is what you intended. Editing is not the easiest job because you will have to understand what is needed to be presented in each written work. When a writer writes, they usually have something in their own mind, that they desire to present to the reader. Can the bot get it just exactly the way a writer would present it without the writers help? As this technology developes it won't be long until the bots are being used to present courses of study to students. Those writing courses have to be designed by writing teachers. This type of thinking has different paths to follow. The Chat GPT is just the beginning of an extension of the information age. Have you ever read somewhere that we only use a small part of our brains? Well progressing technology like the Chat Bots is going to wake up parts of the brain that have never been used before.

| Andre the Blog Monkey's Banana Bar / Share the Love Event part 2 P22: Spy Balloon? Your opinion on actions, threat, retaliation. Bing results: Reference: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/02/ufos-spy-balloon-norad-sensors-milit... https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/blinken-chinese-surveillance-balloon-program-spr... www.Newyorktimes.com/ an article by Amanda Holpuch published Feb3,2023 I suggest if you want to form an opinion you should consider accessing the above references. I never heard of slate before, but the article was thorough and well written. My opinion about the whole scene is the actions taken by the USA were well founded. According to references above we never caught this type of surveillance before, because our sensors were not programed to revel this type of outdated surveillance. The USA first used surveillance balloons during the civil war. Both sides had such surveillance. And, in the 1940s and 1950s the USA floated surveillance balloons over Russia and China. Also, in an article by Amanda Holpuch published in the New York Times on February 3.2023 a picture was run of a USA spy balloon stationed in a military base in Kabul in 2012. So, in some instances not such an outdated use of spy equipment. There is also some possibility that China's President did not have any particular knowledge of the balloons presently floating around in the world to spy on other countries. Do we know that for sure? Sources state that the Chinese balloons have quietly traveled over approximately 40 different countries. The USA has alerted different countries that the balloons are in the air. The FBI is apparently in charge of processing the information gained from the Balloon shot down over the sea near South Carolina. Since many countries now have spy satellites and spy planes this is just another piece of surveillance fluff, that all these countries including the USA are involved in. The USA and China recently sent representatives to a meeting about the balloons. We continue to have diplomatic relations with China. China and the USA are also talking about the war in the Ukraine. Knowledge poised with diplomatic understanding has been conveyed to China concerning the USA sovereign rights. My own opinion is no country in the world will gain from nuclear missiles being used against anyone. If the authorities in charge of major players such as USA, Canada, UK, China, Germany, Russia and others remain mentally sound they will not allow a threat to go any further than a threat. If someone actually uses a nuclear weapon against someone. Whoever gave the order. should be removed from their posistion by underlings who have better judgement.
