The sin of Willfulness and what you must consider when serving as Balaam’s Donkey

Image
We are all guilty of this. When, you say glory be to God or God’s will be done, you at exuding righteousness. However, When serving God in the position of Balaam’s Donkey , consider that someone will always be riding your back, you will largely be ignored until you get to speak, you will be whipped and beat. And, you will get fed up. You will be in the presence of evil that flys in the face of God, willful sinfulness just like Satan. Saints do not like this, we are God’s children but be of good cheer, God is with you. And much of it is so sinful it becomes humorous—like the sublime to the ridiculous. So keep good humor about, you’ll need it. Intelligence from an impossible source: human speech from an animal. Balaam’s story is found in Numbers. He was  a non-Israelite prophet in the Bible ( Numbers 22–24 ) hired by King Balak of Moab to stop the Israelites being at first, lead by Moses as they traversed the Wilderness.   Driven by fear of  scarcity, just like now, is th...

Cutting the cord irl=very bad TV😂😭

   CUTTING THE CORD IS HARD. I cut the cord recently because I want to save money . I cannot afford to be so entertained. My entertainment budget was unnecessarily high.💰💰💰 Done. Paid the past due and was able to get rid of the television cable portion. I got an antenna  in spite of the fact my house came with a huge antenna. (I don’t know if it is operable.)  Now, I can watch free TV like we used to do. I mostly still watch SNL   Seinfeld , King of Queens , Everybody Loves Raymond , Adventures of Old New Christine , etcetera, except that I cannot watch those programs because I no longer pay for cable TV. I can stream these shows and more but turning to the lineup just before bed was a habit of laughter to which I had become accustomed. I don’t ask for much. So why can’t I just turn to these channels? These channels have paid licensing agreements with cable companies to broadcast these syndicated shows . I did not understand that these were not channe...

Developing AI Models

Image
Turning an AI model into an expert in your domain can be done in several layered steps depending on how much control you have over the model and what resources you have available. Here’s a breakdown from light customization to deep-level training (for developers and organizations): 1. Define Your Domain and Use Cases Clearly First, you need to narrow the scope of expertise: What specific knowledge area?  What tasks do you want the AI to perform expertly? This clarity shapes the kind of data and examples you’ll feed it. 2. Teach the Model Through Interaction (Light Customization) For models like ChatGPT , you can: Feed it structured examples — and say, “Use this structure for all future responses.” Refine responses iteratively — correct its tone, accuracy, or style over time. Each correction acts like incremental fine-tuning through context learning. Use “memory” features (like mine) to persist your domain rules and preferences. This approach gradually makes the AI “...
