Artificial Intelligence Notes and Connection to Pinocchio

 AI notes:

- in a futuristic society where all ice caps have melted, human resources run low - robots are created to do human tasks 

- idea proposed of creating a robot who can love - like the love of a child for his mother

- the couple's child is in a coma - Monica is in denial of this, cannot accept the idea of her son not coming back 

- to help this, the husband buys a boy robot who is capable of love. 

- Monica is faced with the question of does she really want this - once she codes him he will love her forever, cannot be returned and if she decides she does not want him he will have to be terminated 

- at first she is mad, but david starts to grow on her

- monica decides to keep david and programs him 

- david loves his mom so much from tht point on

- Suddenly to the family's surprise, martin awakes from his coma. David feels threatened 

- monica reads pinocchio to the boys

- david is fascinated by the idea of the fairy granting pinnochio's wish to be a real boy

- he wants to find the fairy himself to become a real boy 

- they go on a crazy adventure for David to become a real boy 

- teddy bear reminds me of jiminy cricket

Connection to pinocchio: 

- Pinocchio also wants to be a real boy like David 

- David yearns for his mother's love, but Pinocchio was always loved by his father

- David is abandoned, Pinocchio is not 

- David wishes for the same blue fairy

Final Thoughts: Hon 255

My final thoughts on this course:     Overall, I really enjoyed this course and love how Professor Echeverry pushed each student out of their comfort zones. A room full of majors like biology, psychology, marine science, political science, etc. and our professor had us putting on fashion shows. I also liked how we were assigned many group projects. This allowed us all to collaborate and bring each other's creative sides out. My favorite assignment was the Interstellar project. That was my favorite movie we watched by far, and creating that video was a lot of fun too. I liked using this class as an escape from the more boring and exhausting science courses I am used to. I loved having Professor Echeverry as a teacher: he always kept things real and interesting and opened my eyes to a lot of things I would have never even thought about before. His assignments were always different and creative, and in turn required us to be different and creative as students. Thank you for takin...

Phillip K. Dick

 Phillip K. Dick Research      Phillip K. Dick was an extremely influential figure in science fiction history. As an author, he has written many critically acclaimed novels, the most well-known being "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" which inspired the 1982 film, Blade Runner. Dick speaks of a unique religious experience he had in which he encountered God, or a god-like being, which sparked his creativity in writing science fiction.      Dick lectured an essay in 1977 entitled, "If You Find This World Bad, You Should See Some of the Others." He explained his idea of parallel universes, and how there are multiple different realities. However, Phillip K. Dick not only believed that this was true but that he was living back and forth between two different realities. He struggled a lot with his mental health and things that he saw, claiming to have numerous paranormal experiences that contributed to this.      Dick's vision of VALIS ( V...

Creating our Movie

 Creating our movie for the Interstellar project was quite an interesting process. We brainstormed some ideas, and got together to film some clips for the video. Basically, our world was completely submerged in water as a result of a climate crisis, and the government withheld information from the public as to how serious it really was. Our mission as time travelers was to travel back to 2022 to release the information. We filmed some clips on campus of us "time traveling back" and some clips of us using a computer to release the information (very dramatically). It was fun for us to do this part. Then, I edited the clips together using iMovie and added a few articles we created about the after-effects of us releasing this info. I always enjoyed editing videos so this part was enjoyable for me. Overall, the whole project encouraged us to be super creative and make a whole storyline. It was a very unique experience which I really enjoyed.
