Artificial Intelligence




I saw these cute decorations in an office building recently. The Santa sack is for collecting food for the hungry.

Daughter L received an Amazon echo dot as a gift this summer. Alexa has finally come to Canada and we were able to install the echo. It is so fun. You can ask Alexa the weather, the news, to play your favourite music, just about anything. It's like having a friend in the room. According to wikipedia, 'Alexa is an intelligent personal assistant developed by Amazon, first used in the Amazon Echo and the Amazon Echo Dot devices.'  We are inching closer to robots taking over the world, with artificial intelligence!

Frankly, the thought of Alexa kinda sorta scares me in a Big Brother way. I suppose I'll have to get used to it sooner or later. :)

I have such mixed emotions about artificial intelligence. It's so sci-fi. It's a little unnerving for me.

Have fun with that! We donate monthly to our local food bank, they teach cooking, etc. Very noble.

I like the Santa sacks collecting donations of food etc. for the hungry/homeless. We just have large brown boxes in our collection points, but people do seem to support the cause well which is excellent.

All the best Jan
