I wrote down three questions for Eric Hanberg. First, is AI smarter than us or only as smart as us? Second, would we train AI to have human emotions? Third, how many people would have AI doing tasks for them, instead of doing it themselves?  I learned that 75% of U.S. households have Amazon Prime. That means that people can go online and buy whatever they want. When they go back there is a feature saying "other things you might like" and that would encourage customers to buy from the company again based on their demographic and personal interests. It was amazing how since 2009, Hanberg's book publishing company slowly grew bigger and bigger to have sold 2,146 copies of one book by 2021. I have not met anyone before who had successfully started a company up from the ground and made it a reality. AI is still already taking over simple jobs as publishing books away from humans, mainly fulfilling entry level jobs. AI creates images in ads to make the advertisement prettier an...

 I see Tom and Kaleil as opposites. Kaleil seems to be more calm and wanting govworks.com to be one of the first websites people go to for anything related to the government as well as parking tickets. Tom is more interested in building plans and having them online that the company saves on a server, putting it on a CD. Tom seems more rigid, even with the scene brushing his daughter's hair. Over the course of the documentary, I saw that Kaleil is more likely to get angry in a more private group of friends when the company has setbacks. Tom has different ideas of how to run govworks.com than Kaleil does. Kaleil wants the company to have a set function, while Tom likes to explore many different options and expand on what the company's functions could be, to the dismay of Kaleil not being on the same page as Tom in that regard. I noticed a lack of trust in each other, therefore asking Tom to resign from working at the company. There is betrayal with having their security hacked, p...

 I felt that the Online Scavenger hunt yesterday was fast paced. It felt that we getting one URL after the other in less than an hour's time. I learned some odd, obscure things from the 18 tasks we were supposed to find on the paper. I learned who Jimmy Buffet was, housing options on Redfin and Zillow, and what companies different search engines are apart of. The more answers I found with Abril Cota, i realized that I may not have found the real answers to the questions. If we ask the internet more in depth questions than the ones on the assignment paper, I do not know if the information would be accurate enough to answer it. Some of the tasks listed, my partner and I either were not able to find a URL to a task or we had to look long and hard for one. I believe that it is us who put answers into those links in the first place for other people to find on their computers. It's our observations and theory-proven evidence that we put on the Internet for others to use as peer-revie...

 Protocol is an agreed upon set of rules for any given situation. That can be in business as well as technology and computers. The Internet is a global network of interconnected computers using protocols such as Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol to communicate. They had email and were able to share files. The World Wide Web is a service provided by the Internet for a broader audience. Users can access and share information through web browsers and hyperlinks. It was formatted in HTML or hypertext markup language. It used the specific protocol HTTP or hypertext transfer protocol for accessing and transferring web content. Communication between computers on the Internet is important because that is how two co-workers communicate back and forth to each other to finish an important job. They must be able to share data with each other in order for the Internet as a whole to continue to function at all. Also making sure the emails and shared files get to their intended dest...

 Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and Stephen Hawking all said in an interview that humans should be cautious of AI growing stronger. I agree with that statement because if we continued to make robots apart of the human race, depending on how we treat them, they will either want to coexist with us or they will want to have dominion over us. If AI and any invention made by it becomes smarter than humans, we are no longer relevant or important as a race and society. Alan Turing, known as the "father of AI" created and experimented with the Turing test in 1950. It was a test examining a machine's ability to show intelligent behavior equivalent to that of a human. I wonder how Allen Newell, Herbert Simon, John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, and Arthur Samuel began to talk about Artificial Intelligence, especially at Dartmouth college in 1956. ELIZA was probably the first rough draft of a robot ever trying to imitate human behavior, language, and intelligence from 1964-1966. Since Joseph Weiz...

 My thoughts on "The Machine is Us/ing Us" is that towards the end, the video says that "we are the web." The way I see it is that depending on the sources we find online, whether it's an academic journal or just asking AI a question, all the information we find is made of human observations and as well as biased opinions, sometimes. However, the academic journals are made up of professionals' research, observations, and findings from that research they write down in that journal article for others to read. Since humans can share almost any information, they want to others without having to use complicated codes, we may need to rethink the information available as well as the research we decide to use from those documents.  For Epic 2014, I had never heard of Friendster when in came out in 2002 as a way to connect with your people over the internet. I had always had Amazon in my life and I knew that they used to sell books only. I wonder how similar Friendst...
