Frankly speaking, I have always struggled to put this small blog up every month. Many times, I have not found any useful subjects to write about. Then I got panicked, as I have committed to do this blog every month. Continuing such a tiny monthly task would give me a feeling of self-discipline. Yet, I still struggle to put it out every month. I learned that continuation is not easy and requires a lot of energy. Now this blog is my160th, since I started in December 2016, ten years ago. Yes, I have not skipped any month. Yes, this small task that forced me to continue gave me a little bit of confidence in self-discipline. Yes, It mattered to me. Let’s see how long I can do that.
At the same time, I ask myself why I have to keep on doing somewhat useless things over and over again. A good question. Nobody reads it except A.I. auto web-crawler. I am not contributing any to the world. Why am I wasting time?
life is short and unpredictable. Maybe it is a good idea to step back for a while and think this routine over. Then, I noticed a special word in the recent media coverage about A.I. It is called R.S.I.: Recurring Self-Improvement.It is the word that Anthropic started introducing. It is the A.I. system development terminology that will use A.I development to A.I system themselves. I don’t know anything about technology, but a “self-improvement” portion of R.S.I, stick to my mind.
When I start thinking about how I would like to spend the rest of my limited life, self-improvement efforts would make my life useful and meaningful to me. But, not in the way A.I. machine learning recurrence was designed. So, I don’t need to panic when the month end comes every month. I will just continue this for now and enjoy self-improving myself.
Let’s forget depressing news around us for a moment and focus on something we can control ourselves. But let’s continue a positive thought and enjoy a beautiful autumn day.
