Meanwhile, my photo of the Day:

 You Can Spot the World's Heaviest Eagle! Prepare to be awe-struck! The Philippines is the exclusive home of the Philippine Eagle, also known as the "monkey-eating eagle." 

This isn't just any eagle; it's one of the largest and most powerful eagles in the entire world by length and wing surface area. It's critically endangered, which makes seeing one an extremely rare and privileged experience.

 Its sheer size and majestic presence are truly breathtaking.


Lastly, here are the companies in the Chatbot Race ( From the Washington Post)

Companies in the chatbot race
Return to menuOpenAI: The San Francisco-based artificial intelligence research lab launched as a nonprofit to build “artificial general intelligence” outside of Big Tech’s control. Since then, it’s transformed into a major corporate player, creating image generator DALL-E and chatbot ChatGPT. It is now for-profit and has partnered with companies including Microsoft and Salesforce.
Google: The tech giant — long a leader in AI including via search — launched chatbot Bard after competitors’ offerings went viral. It is known for its LaMDA technology, a system for building chatbots based on large language models.
Their voices are their livelihood. Now AI could take it away.
Microsoft: The software company invested billions of dollarsin OpenAI and teamed up to create a Bing chatbot, developed on GPT-4 technology. But there have been missteps, including when the chatbot went rogue, told reporters it has feelings and called itself Sydney — forcing the tech giant to reel it back in some ways.
Meta: Even before ChatGPT, Facebook’s parent companyreleased a chatbot called Blenderbot, but it failed to gain traction. Its chief artificial intelligence scientist later called the bot “boring” because it was “made safe.”
IBM: IBM was an early leader in artificial intelligence close to the current chatbot trends, most notably with its robot Watson, which captivated audiences on “Jeopardy!”
Have a Good Thursday Afternoon, EveryOne

Joys of Retirement

I have been retired from USFDA since 2002. At first, I feel I have lost my identity as an individual or have lost my contribution to society. However, within a few weeks all these feelings were gone. It started when my wife and I started baby sitting one of our grandchildren. As some economics professor states: "Your children are your capital investments, but your grandchildren are your profits. That is why you love your grandchildren more than your children". I really agree with the statement. Retirement also gives you lots of time to do things you like to do, such as your hobbies and of course travel. In my case, I turned my hobby of gardening and landscaping into a small business in the Philippines. This endeavor was planned about five years before 2002. That year my wife and I started construction of our retirement home in Boac, Marinduque , Philippines. The next year we built a beach house, followed by a Conference Hall two years later. Needless to say, planning and executing the landscaping was a challenge and very enjoyable. With the help of local labor, I not only enjoy the time gardening and landscaping, but also help improved the economic situation of the province by providing work and jobs to the local residents. With plenty of time, I have engaged into two specific activities as follows: First, I created a website for my small business. By trial and error, I created and design the website, www.chateaudumer.com I have never been a computer nerd or expert. But with plenty of time and patience, the fruits of my labor could be enjoyed if you visit the website above. The second activity, I have not done before was to utilize on-line activities, such as shopping, paying bills ( save you stamps) and playing computer games in the Internet. I really enjoyed playing duplicate bridge on line. You play with players all over the world and can chat in between games. But be careful, you are not spending too much time in the computer. It is very addictive. With a lots of time, my wife and I devoted more time on our favorite humanitarian project. For the last 15 years, we have been involved with medical mission to the province of Marinduque. For details please visit the website: www.marinduqueinternational.org As a summary, the joy one gets on retirement is very specific for an individual. Some enjoy their free time by learning new activities, getting involved with humanitarian projects or spending more time with their grandchildren. Others hate it, since they missed their former jobs and co-workers. Others with no children still enjoy retirement by traveling, turning their hobbies into business or more community involvement. Of course those that retire and hate it, is believe to die earlier than those that enjoy their retirement years. So, plan your retirement as early as you can. The happier you are on retirement, the longer you will live.
