#Plutarch #ParallelLives #Pericles 16/

In his capacity as general, Pericles was famous above all things for his saving caution; he neither undertook of his own accord a battle involving much uncertainty or peril, nor did he envy and imitate those who took great risks, enjoyed brilliant good-fortune, and so were admired as great generals; and he was for ever saying to his fellow-citizens that, so far as lay in his power, they would remain alive forever and be immortals.

*#Caution for #CatOwners - all lilies are toxic to cats so don't let your cats near them & don't put in your home where a cat can get close to them. I've had unaware friends in the past who didn't believe my warnings - until their cats ended up in animal ER with lily poisoning.

Practice shows, that "Artificial Intelligence" (AI) has a close connection to brainless mixture of words, sometimes even turning out to be life-threatening.
New Zealandish AI-powered grocery bot, "Savey Meal Bot" will make you mix a deadly "aromatic water mix", if your choice of ingredients is water, bleach & ammonia: It'll tell you how to produce a potentially deadly cocktail, depending on the concentration of components.

AI has exatctly the sense of responsibility it is taught by its programmers.
And, as this report proves, it can be as idiotic & responsibility-free as a former US-presidential seatholder, recommending to a nation of 330+ million Americans to swallow bleach against infection with Coronavirus.

Good morning. 🍒🍒🍒

I screwed up yesterday. I remembered that I hadn't installed the drivers for my new motherboard yet, so I got the USB stick that came with the motherboard and installed them. When I initially started the install there were three drivers that were unchecked so I checked them. Now I'm having trouble with Topez Denoise AI. I thought I would remember those three drivers, but as usual ... not so much. I'll figure it out, but it would have been less painful if I used a little more caution.
