Blog me...curiosity redefined

      "Those greeny little fellows are a treat to harvest", was my first initial thought on harvesting the microgreens couple of weeks back. Yes, my experiment to grow microgreens on couple of trays worked out well. All GREENS in first harvest. It was fenugreek & radish microgreens in the first harvest. I was definitely anxious on how it would come out. Bingo, my first experiment was a huge success.     By the way, you should have tasted my microgreens chutney, it was awesome...on of my innovative south Indian style that I tried. To add to my cooking innovations, microgreens mosarubajji (a type of salad) was great too. Fenugreek ones are a bit bitter, but healthy when added to any food.   Do suggest any innovations here?     Being fairly confident from my first harvest, in second one, I tried fenugreek and chia . Made a few mistakes that I can add to my learnings:  AI generated image - meta AI a) Never soak a chia seeds before sowing...

     Do you often use words like “Yes, please,” “Thank you,” or “Sure, that would be great” with AI-based LLMs like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, etc.?      Well, it may seem like we are being courteous to them, treating them as we would treat any other human being. But there is a deeper fear we humans have—at least for now. What if Generative AI starts learning and mimicking human emotions (also known as sentience )?      It’s easy to say we have hired AI ethicists to keep such things in check. But the fears of the future still persist. By the time we frame the protocols and shape GenAI so it cannot misuse sentience, it may have already surpassed us. Imagine a student who has surpassed a teacher, hahaha.      Let us accept the fear of the unknown. Yes, we don’t know how AI will act once it learns to mimic human traits like emotions or consciousness. The TEDx talk by Deborah Nas, Why Are People Falling in Love with ChatGPT ? , highli...

      "Love the way she sketches", that was my first thought few years ago when I saw a short video on how a pencil sketch was done. It was during Covid time and was locked in my four walls. For many Covid times were hard, am sorry for their loss. But to me, it helped me introspect and find many a hobbies.     I enjoyed the cooking, blogging and stuff like that. But one thing that stood out was my pencil sketch. Then I regained the touch of stroking and shading, couple of months back. Each time I start a sketch, I get so engrossed in to it, that I loose track of time.     Every stroke and every shade, makes me feel am still learning and yearning to do better. However there are certain things that it definitely teaches us. To name a few : a) importance of the shades with white spaces around it.  b) importance of erasing  part of the deep shade to make the contrast stand out. c) importance of depth of pencil re-strokes that highlights the curve...
