You know what the biggest problem with pushing all-things-AI is? Wrong direction.
I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes.

The 10 canine commandments…

⏰ My life is likely to last 10 to 15 years. Any separation from you will be painful to me. Remember that before you commit to me

🐕 Give me time to understand what you want from me.
Place your trust in me. It’s crucial to my wellbeing.

🐶Don’t be angry with me for long, and don’t lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your entertainment, and your friends. I only have you.

🥰 Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don’t understand your words, I understand your voice when it’s speaking to me.

😔Be aware that however you treat me, I’ll never forget it.

🦷 Remember before you hit me: I have teeth that could easily crush the bones of your hand, but I choose not to bite you.

🤒 Before you scold me for being uncooperative, obstinate, or lazy, ask yourself is something might be bothering me. Perhaps I’m not getting the right food, or I’ve been in out in the sun too long, or my heart is getting old and weak.

🕰️ Take care of me when I get old. You too will grow old.

🤝 Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say, “I can’t bear to watch it,” or “Let it happen in my absence.” Everything is easier for me if you are there.

Remember I love you

The hallmark of an open mind is refusing to let your ideas become your identity.

If you define yourself by your opinions, questioning them is a threat to your integrity.

If you see yourself as a curious person or a lifelong learner, changing your mind is a moment of growth.
