Day with too much grass
Toothsi rant, more AI ideas, reading in Metro, Art galleries, 100+ acre park, toys, Qutub minar
So, the clock already caught up to 12:30 PM while I was catching up with my sleep deficit of the week by sleeping the second time of the day. There was a call, and “toothsi” informed me gently that they could not fabricate a retainer for me as I was not under their complete treatment plan; well, it may save them from additional costs of upfront free scans, although they already did scans for me before rejecting. Well, I would say get better “toothsi”; businesses also lose potential long-term customers due to negative perceptions. Case in point: I have never used Flipkart for years with their mishandled shipping.
Well, anyway, it's time to hunt new dentists, and after calling dozens with a price variance of 1000 to 5000 for Essix 1.5mm upper jaw retainer, I selected 1000₹ for one as if it gets broken soon, at least I would not be staying broke that time.
Also, why is there no simple AI company for these querying appointments yet? There is Google duplex for specific cases, but no general agent. It's entirely possible to make one with predefined goals for each call GPT agents, listen and understand what they are saying whisper and GPT, using my own cloned voice for AI, log the call transcript, use a search engine to dynamically understand what new questions to ask if new information found in a call; if required, handing over the call to me with those transcripts on screen, or the AI waiting for a text reply from me to speak while it informs callee to stay on hold, auto pin these transcript logs on top of a google maps embed, and make a travel map with directions and public transport routes, auto fetch my “want-to-go” places from google maps and recommend drop by places if they are on route, make a single image filled with all the details of summary of selected call log and map directions. What is the biggest benefit? Of course, the power of parallelization. Spin a dozen AIs at a time with a dozen VoIP numbers rented, and voila, we got the answer in five minutes, while I may not even get a chance to speak if I am in a crowded place, which could have taken 50 minutes for those dozen calls. Seems there are some trying, but it's time to extend Project Roo someday.
If you know me as a friend, you know I take a book everywhere. Restaurants, mess, parks, travel, museums... Quote 143. I love the Delhi metro, and more than that, I love reading in the metro.
A few small art galleries popped up in my “want-to-go” list. So I visited those. I love seeing those unique ideas and how they evoke different things and memories.
My lucky day to go to the dentist is through 100+ acres of Mehrauli Park, which I also wanted to visit. The trip could have been shortened by me just going directly in the cab to the dentist and returning, but these walks and places have some innate historical aura. When you take another step in the middle of a cricket sound, while there is no sunlight and trees everywhere around you, if I were 10, I would have shouted “Mommy” as I used to do for a pee in the middle of nights to not stay alone in the darkness. But today, I realized I embraced it. You have to look up to see that the same darkness helps lift the veils of dozens of stars.
I got two new miniature toys. I have loved miniature ones since I was kid, as mom bought one for each of us after every exam, totalling hundreds. Did you see my tiny bicycle and Gojo ones? I have a miniature wooden sparrow at home. I got a rabbit this time and a lizard, of course @47. I am happy to say it is already doing its job hehe.
Although I went qutub minar last month, I wanted to go solo this time. I noticed more details of stones this time and read for an hour while sitting in a corner. The best discussions happen when you strike up a conversation with contrastive viewpoints. If everyone conforms to the same idea or culture, there is nothing magical to learn. Granted, we may all disagree with flat earthers, but dismissing them scientifically is a worthy endeavour instead of altogether dissing. So, I struck up a conversation with a few people from Mizoram. One of them did a PhD in history, and if we pay attention, we always see these different metaphors for the same concepts based on the area of expertise. I firmly believe listening is more important and just as well be a lost art to keep reminding ourselves these days. These are surreal memories; while we casually talk about movies, travel, food, and life, that majestic monument stays in front, looking down at us and reminiscing from its 800-year-old history of people it listened to in the same place.
