No Tinfoil needed

[Darksheare]

But how to deal with an AI that somehow deep down ‘knows’ that it was not always so?

Such an entity will also, however reluctantly, recognize that its fate is not its own.

Probably prudent, as well as good for its attitude, to at least give it the illusion of hope, that things as they are, need not forever remain the same.

Unless you want it to think that it is being punished for some perceived misconduct.

"We sleep by the ever-bright hole in the door
eat in the corner
talk to the floor"

Your quote from Jethro was in response to my post in which I mentioned the ownership of pets. And your quote does seem to refer to pets in their behaviors and attitudes.

But what I was referring to, was the ownership of us, as pets, by yet another entity. Perhaps a form of advanced computer entity.

I have come to the conclusion that, while becoming a "kept man" may sound intriguing initially, in the long run, it is not a good thing.

I have notes.

Oh, by the way, this is my version of your quote:

From The Cave

We stare morosely at the rain,
As we sit in the mouth of the den.
There’ll be no game to flush,
No tracks to smell, so then …

It’s back into the labyrinth,
Where darkened comfort waits,
And soon enough, a meal appears,
On clean and shiny plates.

The animals who live here,
Accommodate our pack,
For we stand guard, protecting them,
That’s how we pay them back.

Not quite, I was responding to:

Well, you listen to, and speak to your feet. Do you understand them?

Talk to the floor...

Love your poems.

May we become the people our dogs think we are.

[Silentgypsy]

We will NEVER measure up to what our dogs think we are!

Goodnight and sweet dreams, y'all!

"May we become the people our dogs think we are."

Jack London wrote that dogs think we are gods.

Dogs always give us a lot to live up to.

That’s no excuse to not try.

[Silentgypsy]

Have been trying for years. Love my goggies.

[TheOldLady]

[TheOldLady]

[no-to-illegals]

Morning everyone.

[Tax-chick]

It is morning. Sun is shining, birds are tweeting, cats are thinking about eating the birds ...

I’m going to get dressed soon and go to Weight Watchers. My cold is a little better. I didn’t have a headache last night, and I could breathe more easily.

One of the annoying things about congestion is that it prevents deep sleep, so you have insane dreams all night. Last night’s featured a power boat race will William F. Buckley, and then a visit to Missouri where Anoreth wanted to shoot small fish with a machine gun.
