I have a lot of “rewards”

暑いですね~と今日も言ってしまいますが、It's hot, isn't it?。everyone、大丈夫ですか?くたびれてません?わたしは北国育ちでどちらかといえば夏は若干苦手意識がありましたが最近はすっかり慣れたのか(夏の初めはちょっとのあいだ苦しみますが)今ではもう外が38℃でも39℃でも(クーラーのある室内にいさえすれば)平気です

So、夕方日が落ちる頃ちょっとウオーキングでもすると“暑イ中ゴクロウサン” とばかりにすぐご褒美に泡の出る水とかを自分自身にあげちゃうんです(シャボン玉を飛ばして遊ぶワケではありませんよ、Just in case)。But、妻が買い物に行くというと「ええ~っ!こんな暑いのによく行けるなァ」とか言うだけで両手に買い物袋下げて汗びっしょりになって帰宅しても全然ご褒美など上げないんですケチなんでしょうか

絵を描いていてもそうなんです自分で描いている時は失敗しても「よくあることだよでも途中で投げ出さなかったのはエライエライ」とか言ってやっぱりすぐ冷蔵庫のドアを開けます教室で生徒さんが失敗すると、"oh dear、よくあることだよもう一度ね」とか言うだけで頑張っていてもエライとは言いません上手くできても「イイねェもう一枚描くともっと自信つくよ。"but、やっぱりご褒美は出ませんケチなんでしょうね

すぐご褒美が出るので脳内インスリン(とは言わないが)による満足感があり「もう少し頑張ろう」「もうちょっと上を目指そう」という欲が湧きませんこのご褒美グセ(自分にだけ)のお陰?で「向上心」なんてとうとう今までお目にかかってきませんでした今と“真逆” の「自分に厳しく他人にご褒美あげられる」性格だったら今頃わたしも“それなり” の人間になっていたかもなあと反省するのですが、on second thoughts、そんな自分にも「反省スルノハイイコトダヨ」とご褒美をあげてしまうのでした

AI doesn't understand anything

Engakuji Temple。I prefer this way of drawing

It's hot, isn't it?。This is the forecast for today's maximum temperature of 37 degrees Celsius.。Wow! It seems like something like that、38℃ is already familiar。39No one is surprised anymore because we have heard about temperatures above ℃ several times on the news and weather forecasts.、That's surprising。

Sometimes I chat with AI。This is for me to get used to AI.。While chatting、I don't seem to understand what you mean when you ask about AI.、I often feel that。He answers simple questions in surprisingly well-written sentences.、If you ask me some more details,、Only the text is normal、I keep getting empty and “stupid” answers.。Moreover, I looked at her from above and said, “Did you find this helpful?”。

What does that mean?、I read it in the digital version of a certain newspaper.、I was convinced by the interview article with Professor Mutsumi Imai of Keio University.。Simply put,、This is what it means。
“Even if the word melon is recorded in the AI,、It's just a statistical word、The meaning is not understood。but、It's a big fruit for humans.、Experiences and facts that include various aspects such as sweetness、It is connected to the melon itself to create the "meaning (of the word)" (this is apparently called "symbolic grounding" in cognitive science).。That's not the case with AI.。(The way people memorize words is the exact opposite of humans)
AI is before and after the word “melon”、It's just learning what words are ``statistically'' arranged.、If you deviate from this, the sentence becomes meaningless (the article has been shortened)."

As expected、That's what it feels like。I feel something similar with image generation AI.。At first, you might be surprised and say, “Wow!”、If you do it a few times, you'll start to feel like maybe it's stupider than I thought.。I don't have the feeling of "thinking".。They just come out one after another。
If you think about it、Even new generation computers、That's not what I'm thinking about, per se.。However、Has a huge memory (and never forgets)、Unusually fast learning ability、Making full use of the weapon called “statistics”、"(Theoretical、This means that they are able to quickly draw "rational" conclusions.。For that person, it would take 1000 years.、Perform complex calculations in a few seconds。The one who connected that computing power to language generation was、It was chat GPT.。Because I already had that foundation.、It's quickly becoming popular。
AI is just an extension of a tool (for now)。Originally our “hands”、How we use those “hands” is our own problem.。if we are stupid、AI also has the potential to become a terrifying tool.。

The “magic” of time

What is this?

See photos。What is this? —It's "pickled rakkyo"。What kind of black pickled rakkyo is this?、I think most people have never seen it。10This is because it has been pickled for over a year.。

this、Can I still eat it? While saying、My wife was afraid to take it out of the glass bottle.、An unknown black thing。what、this? —pickled rakkyo。I made it a long time ago、I was thinking of throwing it away if I couldn't eat it...。

while cleaning the room、came out from the corner。Although it was in my memory、Miscellaneous things pile up、piled up、It took more than 10 years to reach that place again.。It sounds like it's a large room measuring tens of thousands of square meters.、Very ordinary 8 tatami room + Alpha。to that alpha、It was laid down for a long time, as if forgotten。
I tried smelling it, but、I don't feel bad。on the contrary、There is even a slight sense of elegance.。It's a good "poison detector" for the body.、As soon as I touched it with chopsticks、The tip of the chopsticks sinks smoothly.、This might be amazing - the sticky texture、It had an exquisite deep flavor.。"this、That's amazing、Exquisite! ” I couldn’t help but scream.。I am once again impressed by the depth of vinegar pickling.。

instead of regular sugar sugar、Apparently they used Okinawan brown sugar.。Apparently they added a little chili pepper, but I don't feel the spiciness.。Speaking of pickled rakkyo, the appeal is the fresh and crunchy taste.、Also, the feel is so different that you can't imagine it's made from the same material.。I would like to say "make more"、It wasn't my wife who made this.、The truth is “the magic of time”。今から10年後では(もしかしたら5年でも、3年でもいいのかもしれませんが)生きているうちに味わうことができるかどうか微妙です。But、ヨカッターとりあえずこれを味わえてと本当に思いました
 皆さんもしも古い酢漬けが残ってしまったら捨てる覚悟であと2~3年保存してみたらいかがでしょう魔法が現れるかも知れませんよ
