03 Lessons this Week: Lost Nukes… A Golfer in ICU, and ‘Humanness vs AI’..

Avowal: Each week is like a snowflake; here on the Medium. And my learning is ever ongoing… not a moment of dullness…

Created by Gemini for me.

1. Polish of AI or Human Flaws: Which one you would Prefer!

‘Does Perfect AI Art Make You Feel Sick?’ by fukushin_ceo | wabi sabi life design brings you face to face with… well… your own self.

Mr Fukushin is a retired Japanese Govenment officer from a land which is known (to the best of my understading) for honesty, high tech credentials and ‘humanness’ of the humans. His words deserve to be read seriously.

He has brought out the true utility of AI in his article I read just now. At one point he states…

‘You do not have to do everything. What others can do, let them do. What only you can do — that is worth protecting.’

AI can create presentations. Pictures. Budgets. Apps. Videos… what not.

But, that polish, that flawlessness… somehow appears ‘Plaster of Parisesque’. Like a mannequin inside the window vs a human outside of it.

I use Gemini AI quite a bit. For two things.. Namely, creating pictures that I can otherwise not find… And seeking some information… fast!

Never ask Gemini to ‘Write’.. Even if it does give me some write up… I may use that information. But not ‘copy paste’ it.

If the AI logic says turn left… I would turn back. Because I am full of ‘flaws’. AI may or might not be!

And that is Fukusin’s point. To the best of my understanding.

Right friend Fukushin!

By the way, our younger kid has found ways out. He remains in real time touch with the likes of Higgsfield, and Seedance etc, who share with him their latest versions…for making things appear ... ‘flawed’..

Lesson 01: A ‘flawed human’ is anytime better than a ‘Flawlesss nonhuman’.

2. Madness has Gradings: But this one is Bordering on Irrationality

You have been a Military brat and now a Military Lady. Good.

You are passionate about sports. OK… About that wretched Golf as well (in any case Golf is no Sport)!! Anyway..Still OK…

A certain Mr Tiger Woods be your ‘idol’… Tiger Woods who has as many steel rods in his body as many bones. Even that madness be OK…

But you!

You are expected to be rational.

You have a little girl. Your Beagle. Your home. And an Army Officer husband, who shoulders the responsibility of a great nation. And you bear the onerous responsibility of them all…That should be more than OK…

Then… just how could you be so irresponsible that whilst being unwell yourself, play the most strenuous sport of them all (Badminton singles and Basketball perhaps are two most strenuous) at competitive level.

And show to the Medium fraternity that ‘Gold Medallion’ you just won.

The story goes on excruciatingly farther..

And….. from that Badminton Court, you are ‘flown straight into an ICU Ward’ of a Military Hospital which nurses you for no less than four or five days! And then rebuke me for writing this article without your express permission. That is not OK!

In our Services we treat all kids as our own. We make no distinction.

Let me be further honest. If you were my own blood daughter, I would have given both of you some serious ‘dressing down’ for neglecting your health..

Some Irrationality… that!

That, Ladies & Gentlemen, is a gritty Anu maheshwari in her article ‘Immeasurable Cost of Athletic Glory’... for you.

Nevertheless, I am also proud of the ‘tigress in her’. One known for… ‘never giving up’!

Lesson 02: Health is the best gift. Please keep it safe…

3. The Six Nuclear Bombs the US Military Lost (And Never Found)

Every other day, Mr Piyush Kumar, a young Military Historian comes out with something which would make battle hardened veterans run for cover.

Over these past two weeks, he has written number of articles. But two of them, based upon declassified documents from the US Military, would make you look for those ‘six lost nukes’ under your bed. In fact Seven in total! Every single night before you go to sleep.

And not only you. Even the POTUS must be doing that. Every single night he is anywhere on the Planet (other than while flying in the Air Force One).

One of Piyush’s two articles has been mentioned at Ser No 3, here-in above.

The other one being…

‘The Day America Almost Nuked Itself’.

Would not like to write much further. You got to read them yourself.

Lesson 03: More Powerful you think you are, effectively more vulnerable you may have become.

Epilogue

Whenever you go anywhere, please always be aware of the fact that there are (at least) seven fully capable Nuclear Bombs that someone like you and me has lost somewhere on the Planet.

And quite seriously, all of them, put together can blast the hell out of the last Sardine (if still any left alive) hiding in the deep ‘Point Nemo Waters’. You & me are still bigger targets!

Only a few ‘Treasure Hunters’ is all that is needed to teach Americans to be more careful in future... if indeed there remains some future!

And the fact… that a lost nuke is far worse than the one in the hands of a rogue nation! Here there are ‘Se7en’. May be more!

Q…E…D!!!
