Each therapist has his own techniques. The more experienced ones don’t talk much. You may talk for an hour and all he does is listen. When he feels you cannot express your emotions, he asks a simple question to get you back on track, a question you could have asked yourself but didn’t. And then he keeps quiet and listens again.
It behooveth the people of Bahá to render the Lord victorious through the power of their #utterance and to admonish the people by their goodly #deeds and #character, inasmuch as deeds exert greater influence than words.

Excellent article from #NYTimes by @bxchen, @[email protected],
@[email protected] which articulates why #VoiceAssistants have struggled to find product-market fit: their internal designs are cumbersome to extend, and in the words of #SatyaNadella, they're "dumb as a rock".
Will #ChatGPT and other #LLMs render them obsolete?
I'm not so sure.
#LLMs are *probabalistic* - they give wrong answers. #VoiceAssistants, by contrast, are more deterministic - and are often linked to back-end #APIs, like @Wolfram or @Wikipedia.
That is, for a given command - an #utterance - there will be a deterministic response. They might be dumb as a rock but I trust what a rock does.
Voice assistants are interfaces. Interfaces to content, to news, to entertainment, to data. Voice assistants are a door. And right now, they can gatekeep what comes through.
#ChatGPT, #Claude and #Bard are *probabalistic* models. Let's not let them flood the house with garbage.
Should it be God’s intention, there would appear out of the forests of celestial might the lion of indomitable strength whose roaring is like unto the peals of thunder reverberating in the mountains. However, since Our loving providence surpasseth all things, We have ordained that complete #victory should be achieved through #speech and #utterance,...

#bahai #quotes
Human #utterance is an essence which aspireth to exert its influence and needeth #moderation. As to its influence, this is conditional upon refinement which in turn is dependent upon #hearts which are detached and #pure. As to its moderation, this hath to be combined with tact and #wisdom as prescribed in the Holy Scriptures and Tablets.
