We may not have met face to face outside but we did create a Google doc and text each other about our ideas and exchanged quotes to be included in the paper.

“These experts believe there is a 50% chance of AI outperforming humans in all tasks in 45 years and of automating all human jobs in 120 years.”
I believe that this is a very important statistic because it means that we would be competing with robots instead of other humans for jobs. Robots are programmed to be more productive and cost efficient than humans which makes employers often choosing robots to automate the job instead of human labor. If the statistics areContinue reading ““These experts believe there is a 50% chance of AI outperforming humans in all tasks in 45 years and of automating all human jobs in 120 years.””

Final thoughts
“13 percent of people have jobs they find meaningful” “It is just the kind of jobs that people do. It is difficult to do it because it is always the same thing but somebody has to do it.” Lost Connections really gave me a better understanding about the roots of depression. After reading I realizedContinue reading “Final thoughts”

The context behind this quote is that the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) suggested that people who grieve longer than a year is considered to be having depression. The duration recently got reduced to 2 weeks. I thinkContinue reading “To say that if grief lasts beyond an artificial time limit, then it is a pathology, a disease to be treated with drugs, is—she believes—to deny the core of being human.”
