Week 5

  •  1. The first thing I found important and interesting about this week's reading is how AI is changing the classrooms but it is changing for the better. I think it is nice that this allows students to learn at their own pace. All students dont learn as well the traditional way.

          2. The second thing I found interesting is in the Blueprint of an AI Bill of Rights they mention how technology, data, as well as automated systems have been used in ways to threaten our rights. Which, I can understand because yes certain websites ask you to if you want to accept cookies but nobody really knows what all that means so they know that people will just click accept and I think that's wrong. 

3. The last thing I found interesting is how Shutterstock and Getty have both collaborated with an AI startup to allow users to create their own pictures using text-to-image models. I'm not even sure what this is or means for the near future but I'm interested in seeing the outcome.


  • 1. The first way I can relate to the topics this week is from the reading "Blueprint of an AI Bill of Rights" when it was mentioned that social media data collection has been used to undermine their privacy and track their activity often without knowledge or consent. Everyone that uses social media can relate to this because these apps track everything we do and most of the time we don't know it and we just learned a few years ago this is what they do.
          2. The second way I can relate to this week's topic is everything we use now is an AI, my generation is the generation of the rise of social media and internet changes.


  • One question I have for discussion is do you guys think as technology progresses what other information are these apps going to be able to get from us and is the uses of our data going to worsen?

    I also agree that letting students learn at their own pace is a cool thing. Some students don't work as well as others and this lets everyone learn how they need.

 3 things I found interesting or important Either something mystical and cultish is taking over my brain, or the company has created an experience more engaging and entertaining than any fitness company has before. In my opinion, it is the latter, and it has entirely to do with the instructors they’ve hired and the access we have to them on and off the bike. Originally launched in 2017, r/place ran for 72 hours. The lifespan of the new r/place was also short – ultimately lasting for just five days. Beginning initially as a blank canvas, r/place allows users to place one coloured pixel every five minutes (or 20 minutes for unverified accounts) as they attempt to build a collective art piece. Yet this platform of 32.6 million daily users—more than half of whom are under 13—has some dark corners. In some games, players’ blocky avatars simulate sex, engage in raunchy talk and “date” other avatars. While much of this isn’t new, Roblox’s explosive growth has drawn fresh attention to what’s h

  3 things I found interesting or important In some ways, device ubiquity is great. For students with various disabilities, for instance, certain applications can be liberating. In-class polling has become infinitely easier. Students can photograph complicated diagrams rather than trying lamely to copy them down. And those of us with catastrophically bad handwriting -- not that I know anybody like that -- can attest that the opportunity to take legible notes is a game changer. We are in the midst of a battle for our attention. Our devices have hijacked our brains and destroyed our collective ability to concentrate – to the extent that we’re even seeing the emergence of a “goldfish generation”. That, at least, is the story that’s increasingly being told. But should we be paying attention to it? By letting email and other messages guide our workday, Cal says we're weakening our ability to do the most challenging kinds of work—what he calls "deep work." Deep work requires su

Week 6

 Interesting or Important I find it very interesting on the IRL "What if women built the internet?" how they are all women and when it came to them emailing men about the business you could hear the snobbiness and rolling eyes in their response emails. So they made up this person named Keith to handle the emails,  who is a male obviously and things would get done. I think that this is crazy and sad for one that women are treated less when it comes to business because some men feel that women are dumb and don't know anything when it comes to business. " Everyone in the world is dependent on technology.  From hearing aids to spectacles, drugs to prosthetics, smartphones to contraceptives–human existence is a cycle of inventing things to shape life, and, in turn, be shaped. There is no “natural” state for humans, not since we mastered fire." I find this entire paragraph interesting and important because it made me realize how very true  this is. "In general, i
