2001: A Space Odyssey and craiyon

After watching 2001: A Space Odyssey, I am honestly so creeped out by artificial intelligence!!!!! HAL is so scary and it scares me how much we rely on machines to consider the possibility that they could have a mind of their own. When doing the craiyon generator, although it made a really cute picture for me, it still just scares me how it was even able to do that. Here is the cute picture:

Love Death + Robots Analysis

September 11, 2022 Love Death + Robots was a very interesting series of shorts that I thoroughly enjoyed viewing in class. After watching quite the range of futuristic robot content, my favorite short from Love Death + Robots was Automated Customer Service. This was my favorite because I found it hilarious and the most entertaining, but it still had an interesting underlying message.

His assignments were always different and creative, and in turn required us to be different and creative as students. Thank you for takin...

Day 1

August 29, 2022 Hi!! My name is Sophia Demitrio and I am a sophomore this year. I am from New Jersey and am a biology major. My first impression of this class made me very excited for the semester. Since I have taken strictly science classes in college so far, I look forward to this class that will allow me to explore a more creative approach of learning. I expect to treat this class as a release from my other courses and to genuinely enjoy what Professor Echeverry has to offer.
