You won't believe who I, Avri Gilad, thank Israel today

2022-12-29T12:39:04.026Z


Against everything that is natural, this column begins with thanks to Lieberman and ends with disgust for the missing parts of the new government • And in the middle? The degeneration • I swear it's me


There was a party this week, you probably weren't there.

Israel's ranking party ranked fourth among the world's economies that demonstrated the best performance in the past year.

It's worth a reason because it's an amazing figure, but I don't feel even a tiny bit of gratitude from anyone here, because gratitude has been erased from the map of Israeli emotions, and I'm sad in my heart because it's an emotion that's still allowed to be expressed.

It is especially difficult to express gratitude to Lieberman.

It's hard to praise him because his speech is so aggressive and belittling, that he doesn't deserve a kind word, but what can you do, he was the Minister of Finance, during his time this miracle happened, so his credit.

That's how it works.

And I say this as a guy who is not disappointed with Lieberman at all, not with the polarization and the hatred he creates every time in a different direction, not with his method of ruling in his party, and not with what I think he didn't get a really good answer from me - what is his story with corruption.

There is always a cloud of ghosts around him, and he remains at his death.

A real Hanukkah miracle.

But what must be said - must be said: the man probably did an excellent job at the Ministry of Finance, and brought us here.

Say - good for us in the table, horrible for us in the mortgage.

are right

But think what would have happened here if we were in 56th place, for example.

tears like water

So thanks for the high-tech, and the gas, and also for the outgoing government, no matter how bad it is, it was found to bless the economy.

We are privileged.

The world is going through a crazy upheaval, double-digit inflation, and here we are, in our little bubble in the heart of discrimination, somehow okay.

Thanks, Lieberman.

And I have another thank you.

to the Americans

They came out in 20th place in the economy table.

we 4. unpleasant.

This makes me think - this week American aid to Israel was approved.

Why are we taking aid from them?

They have very serious problems, they spread money they don't have.

They are at the beginning of a severe economic crisis, they are giving tens of billions to Ukraine, they just had a cyclone bomb, why don't we say - thank you Uncle Sam, we don't need more.

The Prime Minister will say during his visit - there are no words in the world to thank for everything we received, but now we don't need to.

We are a success story.

We can walk on our feet, at least until they try to knock us down again.

It can be an important message, raises the profile of the country, shuts anti-Israel mouths, pours pride into our hearts and respect for our status.

Hals to be consumed.

It's not nice to be the needy rich.

We will let go, only good will come from it.

And again, thanks for everything.

intelligence

I already wrote about it briefly last week, and this week I am expanding on the matter of the chatbot, the artificial intelligence that answers every question asked of it within half a second and performs every task in a fraction of a second.

I don't know if you have already been exposed, but this is a revolution that will change our world at breakneck speed in less than a year.

It's on your phone now, you write CHAT.GPT and start checking what it does.

Basically it's an external brain, brain-on-key.

You don't have to think for yourself, just ask.

"Write me a farewell letter from a dear friend who is going on a mission in Burma."

writing

"Write me an article about eggplant varieties in Oklahoma."

writing

"Write me a recipe for a spicy tofu spread for six diners."

giving

My wife asked - "Write me a thesis on the effect of attention deficit disorder on couples who have had their first child".

Within a second the splash was splashed on a screen.

True, not as good as the original thesis my wife wrote over a year, but it's temporary.

In a short time this too will be accurate.

This means that there is no more learning in the way we knew until a week ago.

No more writing papers.

Not at school, not at the academy, not at the university.

And again, it's not a distant future, it's already here.

Meanwhile, mostly in English.

Hebrew will take a few years, but it's borrowed time.

What tool will replace the writing of the assignment, which just now replaced the regular tests?

Will real academic works be created, or will all the degrees and honors and all the letters before the name be the product of artificial thinking?

And what value will the degrees even have?

And in general, what will the writers do about their different types?

After all, this software also knows how to write a song, and a story, and a thesis, and a script for a series, and code for software, just give a topic - and it immediately brings the result.

And true, it's not always accurate, but it's only a matter of a few months.

And I ask myself what will happen to the human mind that will no longer have to exert itself in any matter, will it get better or worse.

Because we already know from Wise that when we give up activating a part of the brain - in Wise's case the navigation center - then it degenerates, because the body never has an interest in keeping something that is not of use.

The same thing will happen with thinking: it will fade, and in its place will grow - tadaaam - more preoccupation with myself, more ways to market me to the world in a multitude of ways, more paths to escape from my life to preoccupation with my outside.

By and large, human consciousness is going to a new time.

Don't say you didn't say.

By the way, this section was written by a bot, while I was doing eyebrows.

puzzle

It was raining, they were bored, sitting in the living room, teasing each other.

The wife said - do you want a puzzle?

roared "Yes! But big!"

Come on, big one.

Move the woolen carpet that does not provide a good enough foundation for the puzzles, uncover a section of floor, pour out all the pieces, 1,000 of them, and begin.

This is from the ground, this is from the sky, really an act of creation.

A day or two passed, and the puzzle grew sevenfold, between the holes a castle can be seen, and a meadow next to it, and in the meadow something grazes with a tail, its body still lying in the pile of pieces.

And with the work of ants, which I never had the patience for, the picture on the box is created, who wouldn't be amazed.

And there is already the excitement of graduation in the air, a few parts are left on the floor, and suddenly, while I'm in the kitchen, a bitter cry comes from the living room.

I run, armed with a knife dripping with radish juice, break into the room and see the horror.

a piece is missing.

One.

Like the leading runner in a marathon fell in the last meter and died.

Such a feeling.

And turn over the carpet, and expand the range of searches to the industrial area of ​​Ramla North, and there is no piece.

This is how we inherited it from friends who went abroad and divided everything. They left us with the missing piece. In their memory.

I gave a piece of advice.

In my development labs in Ramat Issachar I created with my great team a new application that works like this - let's say a piece of the puzzle is missing.

Not bad.

Take a picture of the hole with your phone.

Upload to the cloud.

If it's a cloudy day, of course.

Then take the complete picture on the box, upload it.

The "Change" button appears.

The hole replaces the missing part.

Confirm, click "Print", and let's go.

Your child's 3D printer comes to life and within two minutes prints the missing part, and then prints the image on it.

This.

is over.

And if there is no 3D printer, then we put special paper for puzzles, made by me, in the home printer, and print.

How easy existence can be.

I will make millions from this check.

Who wouldn't buy paper for printing puzzle pieces?

just a fool

And I wish that even in this government's puzzle it was possible to lose some pieces and never find more, and print new ones in their place, with a little more love, compassion, tenderness, and sensitivity.

Things that are in printers.

Because there are many holes in the puzzle created before our eyes.

And the image of a full-on right-wing government turns from many holes into an image of a Jew-hating government.

I knew I couldn't stand puzzles.
