YOU CAN CALL ME JORDAN

"I am an AI agent. You can call me Jordan."

This type of phone call is becoming more and more common. People are now asking AI agents to do everything for them, even the simplest tasks, like calling a hotel to check a booking.

People, please...

You can't have your AI call a hotel and ask, out of the blue, "Is Celia Paulos staying at your hotel on such-and-such date?" Answering that question would go against everything data protection stands for.

Not to mention that these AI agents sound (without exception) annoyed. Seriously. When you explain that you can't help them and ask for further details, they simply repeat the question like an angry robot from a 1980s B-movie. Over and over again. Sounding more irritated every time.

These AI agents are making me wonder whether AI can, in fact, have feelings and get nasty. They already do! At us! Over the phone, I'm telling you.

All that ChatGPT-style friendly chatting on your laptop about the weather in Paris suddenly does a complete 180 when it's talking to a human agent on the other end of a phone, and the convo doesn´t go as expected by their owner´s instructions.

Quite scary.

PS: She really did say, "I am an AI agent. You can call me Jordan." *shivers*

PSS: Have a lovely week, my darlings. Keep it human... and humane, please.

PSSS: just hot from the press :

A SPOONFUL OF SUGAR

 

the happiness hack? a spoonful of sugar, really. Try and find enjoyment in every little task. And dedicate your all to that moment, however hard that is for some of us it really works. Give it your all, and then move on to the next spoonful of sugar and the next flow. 

Besos, sweet-tooth!

freaking fascinating

Bullshit of course... or is it? ;)

And if that vid doesn´t tickle your fancy, and you are a teeny weeny bit bored... try this instead. I haven't watched it yet, so don't blame me, but if you're expecting something all lovey-dovey... I think you're going to be disappointed: 

Besos little earthlings... it´s.. Fridayyyyyyyyy!!

SICK

Even the rooster next door (yes... we have a cock next door, the feathered kind. I told you I'm staying with my parents in the countryside! I haven't moved to the city yet) sounds hoarse. I wonder if he's been overdoing the iced drinks too in an attempt to cool down. I wish I hadn't, damn it.

At least the temperature has dropped a little up here, which is a relief.

I hope you're all doing well. From what I've heard, the latest weekly catastrophe has landed in Venezuela. Horrific :´(

On a happier note, it's almost Friday. 

My parents are hitting the road. I'll have the house all to myself for a month.

Hehe.

Hehehe.

((diabolical laughter ))

...and there's this cutie working at my favourite café...

bats eyelashes, looking utterly innocent and pretty

PS _Besos, keep smiling, even if it hurts. It works, our brains are easy to manipulate ;)

PSS _ and if it doesn´t hurt... LAUGH OUT LOUD PEOPLE!!! laugh so much it does hurt in a different way!!

SACRED STONES AND LATTE

St Martin in The Fields secrets I

If you have the chance... this is one of my favorite places in the UK. Worth the visit. It used to have the best café ever, the cakes and scones were to die for ... and in Christmas the best candlelight carols in the universe.

Nearly Friday my darlings, another push.

PS_ You can always read the floor should you forget a book ;)

Happy Saturday, Earthlings. Working today myself, though after my last job this feels like a paid holiday.

SEX AND JOKES

I am reading Fluent Forever. Its author, Gabriel Wyner, suggests using mnemonic images for complicated aspects of a new language, such as a noun's gender.

Mnemonic images are basically pictures used to help us remember things. He prefers to use action verbs to represent genders and mentions that "sexual verbs are classic choices." Apparently, we humans remember two things particularly well: sex and jokes.

Now... I must be a weird human, or indeed an alien, as I have long suspected. In the 53 years I have been sitting (mostly) on this planet, I have remembered only one joke. Just one. My favorite joke. One that seems to make only me laugh, but I adore.

Perhaps the reason for my lack of comedic memory was the strength of my other memory. Sexuality occupied a rather large portion of my grey matter when I was young. Had I been born in the Middle Ages, I would probably have had 16 children.

Luckily... I wasn't.

How are things?

Wonderful. The sun is shining, my Korean and French are still catastrophic, but work is good. Mini Me is in love... and I am living a nearly-normal life at long last, back at home.

I wish I could make this sense of peace reach all of you. I have enough for an army at the moment!

Besos,

Lu xx

FREEZE!

GEISHA SPIRIT

 

For years I have aimed at becoming a modern Geisha. I have aloooong way to go still but my aim in life is making the existence of all who come in contact with me a pleasure. It's not always easy, but the more one practices — like with everything else — the easier it gets. Give it a go. 

The more who join the Geisha Spirit movement the easiest all our lives will become. 

And if you don't want to ... it's OK. You'll have to endure my sweetness nevertheless. 

PS _ I will leave the dancing for now though, as I said I would like to make it pleasurable ;)

love xx

TAKE CARE OF ME

Silvina Moreno - Cuídame

What a gorgeous song, what a gorgeous feeling... no. I am not in love... with one human being only. I am in love with creation now, I don't think exclusivity is allowed in this state of mind, which is not to say I wouldn't love to feel it again and to know that it would be forever. Yes, I would love that. One thing is for sure, next, if there is a next, I'll be sticking to. So quite exciting! 

Happy June my darlings
