No way. even if AI does get big. Not a chance.
I don't think computers will ever be given the right to vote that seems kind of ridiculous haha.
We all saw I Robot right? That turned into a mess, robots can't be let to be that smart.
Yeah, thats way too far. Espcecially when they start to have a mind of their own and then take over thats a no go.
I am open to the idea of smart robots but they will not be human. Exactly, it'll be machines built by man, built not born.
Same in the movie 2001: A Space Oddesy, also in Wall-E
But with today's society who knows how people will react. rights for Robots could be a thing zi guess...
Dude in society today everything has to be accepted or else someone gets offended...
It's whack but you never know. Lots of crazies out there. Yeah and it's so lame! Steve Carrell was in an interview to do a reboot or something of The Office and he said that today's society couldn't handle it.
haha yeah lots of weridies out there.
They would get too offended because of Michael Scott. It's so messed up.
The office was so hilarious.
Sometimes I try and think back to how this offended generation came to be and I just have no idea..
I think his jokes were so funny because his stuff was so far over the line that you couldn't take it seriously.
The internet? Exactly dude! It's so awesome!
Good question...
Yeah and that's what made it great was because it is ridiculous and isn't serious at all.
Its like everyone is scared to make jokes or speak their mind now.
Yep, and anyone that is bold is called out, whether in the public or private sphere. It's hard to like people when today's society sucks. Maybe that's why movies and stuff are so big still. Netflix is huge, because people need an escape.
You ever watch Joe Rogan's stuff? He is also pretty funny and just says whatever he thinks
I've heard about it, doesn't he have a podcast too? The Rock listens to it. I should get into that. I like that dude. I'm sure it's great and he just points out how everyone is a bunch of pansies.
Yeah he's got a podcast that he does, he's pretty straigtforward and an in your face kind of guy.
Well I like people that are that way. Don't beat around the bush with a topic because you're afraid of what people will think. Go for it.
Also if you're into that kind of quit being a pansy, take control of your life kind of stuff Jocko Willink has some good podcasts too.
Man this is good info. Learn new things every day!
I agree. I think it's an important skill to have to be straightforward. Yeah I think you'd like both of those podcasts!
Yep, I mean if you have a boss you don't agree with or there's something you believe in someone opposes, you can go about it without attacking them. We can be civilized and not offended but still say what we think.
Totally. I think there is a big difference between attacking someone and standing up for yourself. Its important to stand up for yourself otherwise you're just going to get used to being pushed around all the time. That should be a class they make everyone take in school not like art history kind of stuff. Useful communication or conversational skills.
Precisely. you gotta be able to say what you wanna say, and yeah people don't agree. Politics at its finest. But, we can say what we want to and people don't have to cry. I would take that in a heartbeat. Controversial topics 110. Or 305 because it could get nuts. You never know.
That class would get so heated so fast. So many people getting offended and so many reports being filed of some sort of harassment. I can already see it haha
It would maybe not even make it a semester but it would be legendary just to see what happened. So many snap stories and people yelling. It would be wild. I mean BYU students may have similar views in a lot of things but I know there's always outliers.
You're right haha! I bet there would be at least one physical fight. That's true, theres always someone in a class that really opinionated and likes to voice it.
That would be the nail in the coffin for the class for sure. Maybe it would have to just be online and any threats would have to be moderated. Like this chat if it got too crazy.
Oh that'd be a smart Idea like an online forum...
Yeah and that person is always either annoying or you agree with them and like that they are kind of voicing your own opinions too.
They would have to have someone monitor it so it would stick to conversation and debate and not harassment. true. true.
Yep. And I think people can do it, it jut takes some self control and adjustment. That would be a crazy intense debate class or discussion or something.
It really does. Getting angry or offended is literally your own choice. You can choose if you get upset and flip out about something. No one is making you do that
Like here's one. We chat here, and we're both vying for the same thing. The coveted prize. So somewhere inside we're both thinking well I ope I get it and not this kid. But we can just have this conversation and that doesn't affect us. That's one of my favorite statements. You choose to get offended. People can say anything and you can be fine, but you choose to get offended every time. You can stand for what you want but you don't have to take offense at someone saying yellow is more preferable over black. It always seems to be something stupid like that.
yeah thats true. I probably wouldn't be online chatting if I didn't have a chance at getting something out of it.
Same. When there's like 7 other productive things I could be doing.
Its always something about race or gender these days.
Midterms and all. Yep that's true too. And it's all political.
Dude seriously....midterms are killing me haha everything has to be politically correct these days.
Same. It seems like maybe this time around it'll be better and then nope. Get shafted once again.
hahaha
Yeah like how that lady in the Senate just got that DNA test to prove a point and got shut down by the tribe she adhered to for so long. Legendary.
What was that case? I haven't been keeping up with the news. Was that with the Brett Kavanaugh case?
I don't know all the details either to be honest. Nah that's old news now basocally haha
hahah sometimes I'm like I should keep up with the news and other times its just easier to do my own thing
Something about Trump wanting her to prove her Native American lineage and she took a DNA test and found out she was 1/10th of the tribe. Then they did the math wrong and she's actually 1/1024th.
So, basically nothing.
And the tribe sent a letter formally telling her to stop involving them. It was the wildest thing Another chance at the media to say Trump was wrong though because technically she is..
Thats hilarious.
It was!!
Techincally haha
And I don't love the guy but man being president is hard becayse you get shafted on anything.
So what are you studying at school?
This time it was on her being 1/1024th related to them. Exercise Science bro. You?
No matter who the president is he always gets hate for something.
Yep It isn't my kind of job.
Dude same! How far along are you? Yeah no thanks I wouldn't want to be president.
Almost senior year. Still seems like a while to go but maybe graduate next December, and then OT school hopefully.
Nice man, which classes are you doing right now? And whats OT school? Something therapy?
I'm in advanced anatomy and disease prevention, then some GE classes like mythology and stats. Yeah Occupational. Sister program to PT.
oh gotcha thats sweet! What does occupational therapy focus on? I'm taking anatomy right now that ones pretty fun !
It's basically helping people learn modalities that will allow them to do daily activites again, like after a stroke or surgery. Things like tying your shoes or cooking dinner. PDBio 220? That class is a beast man. So wild, and they trick you hard. Advanced is honestly better that way because they just lay it out for you and it's so nice.
I see thats awesome man! What makes you want to do that?
I switched from IT to this after I found computer programming to suck. I looked into it and it sounded cool so I went for it.
Yeah PdBio220, it hasn't been too bad so far, but they do like to give you some ridiculous things sometime....like I'm never going to look at an inverted backwards spleen
Been good so far, really interesting, I wonder if I will end up in OT though.
and have to tell you the function of the organ next to it...
Yeah man tell me about it. It really is that nuts sometimes. Or they cover a skull and put a probe down in it and be like okay what's that? And it's like well if I could see it I'd tell you....
Oh nice thats awesome, so did you take a lot of extra classes for IT before you switched? hahaha exactly, like what nerve runs through this tiny hole in your head that you can only see if we chop the skull in half.
Yeah I did almost two full semesters of it before I was like yep, I'm out. Basically CS 150 or whatever that class is killed it for me Yeah man that's what they do. In advanced they just lay it out and point. So nice. I almost switched to Psychology but the lady that did the presentation I went to just didn't sell it for me, made it seem lame haha. Because she was crap basically changed my whole major choice. Although Psych 220 was a dope class dude! Take it from Brooks if you can, Jenny Brooks. She teaches in the evening but she's awesome! And no tests!
oh man thats nuts dude, thats too bad. Did you feel like you wasted a bunch of time doing the computer stuff?
Yeah kind of, but it was just the one semester mainly where I kept trying but never got the hang of it or into it.
okay i'll remember that I like the professors that are way chill and they're like more focused on learning than testing.
I barely passed and then I was like okay I'm out. Yeah dude she was so dope. It was kinda long but we usually got out early. It's mainly reading and quizzes but no tests. Super easy project too. Loved it
Dude that terrible. Thats how I feel about some of the general classes they make you take. sounds like my kind of class! i'll forsure look into it !
Yeah man I hate it. Like mythology is cool but the way it's taught and the professor just isn't that great haha
dude last time I took a mythology class was in 8th grade for an elective hahaha It was the defensive line football coach that taught it and we basically just talked about movies and he told us stories haha
Yeah and I did it in high school and it was super cool. My teacher was bomb and we did it from stories not classical myth so it wasn't dry material either.
it was sick!
That's so sick! I would love that.
Yeah some professors make you want drop out of school. Like isn't that the opposite of what you're supposed to do haha
Movies are my jam dude. If a film major was a good thing to try out I would have done that route. But it's way hard to get jobs like that. Yeah I feel that too!
Thats true you gotta be real good or different to make it in film. I took a film class last semester and it was pretty cool to see all the stuff that goes into making a movie. There are a bunch of out there kids in the film program though thats for sure. Bro, we are racking up those chat points haha
Yeah I did one last fall or something and it was really cool! I loved the class and my TA was a homie, but he did tell us it's way competitive. That is true. They're all super creative too. Let's GOOOOOO haha Points for days man that's the plan. Who doesn't want an iPad Pro or Mac? haha
They are way creative. Dude my TA painted his nails..
Really? Man I wonder if I had the same kid.. Colton? haha
haha forreal man, like I have a mac but I think an iPad would be sweeeeet!
I can't remember if he did or not.
No, I can't remember his name...
Yeah dude I love tech. Hmm alright. No worries. Mine may have done that but not sure.
Idk maybe it was a way to relive stress haha
You never know. Film kids are unique,.
Yup. Thats a good word to describe it. So you play sports or anything?
I'm in a volleyball class right now. I like it a lot. I ran track in high school but didn't have the time in college basically. You?
I haven't taken any of the STAC classes are they worth it? And I swam in highschool and did some jiujitsu, but haven't really had the chance to swim up here much. I'll do some Jiu Jitsu occasionally with the club at BYU. And I like to crossfit on the side !
