Do I go. Do I not go. I don't know about you guys, but I'm constantly succumbing to the feeling of thinking I need to be everywhere all of the time.If I don't go, I could catch up on the piles of homework that are patiently awaiting my arrival. But if I do go, I could catch up with a great friend. This feeling is what we could define as the feeling of FOMO.According to Miriam Webster, the definition of FOMO is the fear of missing out on an enjoyable activity or fun event, usually caused by post seen on soci ...

Two years ago, I was lying in a hospital bed with wires taped to my chest and various parts of my body. Fear pressed heavily on me with each beep of the machine checking my vitals. I felt small and powerless, unsure how the night might end.Test after test was ran, but there were still no answers in sight. Eventually, the doctor sent me home with what felt like nothing more than a shrug and a good look. Now, you may be wondering what put me in this situation.And the short answer is stress. I was experiencing ...

Imagine being at a Ravens playoff party. Everyone is shouting at the TV like the players can hear them and there's me laughing at the commercials because that is the only part I understand. So, am I in the party or outside of it.Somehow both. That is what it feels like to live in between. When you move abroad, people tell you happiness is waiting for you at the border holding a giant welcome sign with your name on it.But the only sign I saw said, "Do you have anything to declare today? I want to share my st ...

[Applause] This is an iPad and I I'm not Steve Jobs. I'm not here to promote iPads. But today I will be talking about an app that is in this iPad Chad GBT or any other AI apps that I'm sure many of you have in your phones, laptops or other devices.The truth is AI is becoming more and more prominent. Not only that, but we see it by the statistics. According to the economic times report, it is projected that tech giant companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon and others are going to invest over $320 billion U ...

I want you to think of a period in your life when you failed to live up to someone's expectation. It could be your family member, your friend, or anyone else. Now, I want you to hold this thought and we'll come back to that later.For me, that memory still continues to spin around in my head to this day. My father had a serious addiction to alcohol until he was diagnosed with diabetes. And religion was the only salvation that made him stop.From that day on, it became an integral part of our family. But no ma ...

[Music] [Applause] I am a poet, a storyteller. London, China. It's not even a cliche that when you educate a girl, you educate a nation.A girl does not belong to the society for domestication. She belongs to the community for developmental solution. Girls belong to society as an institution.They are not looking for a buyer. What they look for is that every child is to lift something higher. Cha.Behind every successful man, there is a woman supporting his mission. And behind every successful community, there ...

Core Argument - The central question explored is whether warfare without killing is possible, challenging the conventional reliance on lethal force to achieve military objectives [2][3] - The analysis suggests that while killing has been a convenient means to an end in warfare, alternative non-lethal approaches exist and warrant further exploration [6][7] - The report advocates for a shift towards integrating AI and unmanned technologies into military operations to reduce unnecessary pain and suffering [12] Technological Advancement - AI, particularly computer vision and deep learning, holds significant potential for integration into military technologies like drones, autonomous robots, and unmanned vehicles, enabling non-lethal control methods [10][11] - Examples include transitioning from robots with guns to robots with non-lethal guns, and from drones with bombs to drones with signal jammers [11] - The United Kingdom and Canada are actively developing AI technologies for military applications, highlighting a global trend [12][13] Ethical Considerations - The ethical implications of AI development in warfare must be carefully considered to ensure the right outcomes, emphasizing the need for ethical guidelines [13][14] - Despite potential dangers, AI, with proper ethical frameworks, can be a valuable tool for improving lives, society, and security [14] Practical Limitations & Future Directions - Current non-lethal weapons, such as neutralizer dart guns and non-lethal gas, have limitations, including dosage control and human vulnerability [7][8] - The development of fully practical AI machines capable of neutralizing enemies without killing remains a challenge, but continued exploration of alternatives is crucial [14] - The report encourages action and advocacy for change, urging individuals to reach out to NGOs, decision-makers, and leaders to raise awareness about the potential of AI in warfare [15][16]

[Music] Let me tell you a story. When I was five, my dad was doing a renovation at our house. I'll be constantly around him, helping with whatever I could.One day, I noticed him struggling with a tiny insignificant detail. And so I asked him, "Dad, why are you putting so much effort into this little thing that no one would even see?" He thought for a second and told me something so simple yet so profound that it resonated deeply within me. At the moment, I did not give it much thought, but I remembered what ...

In life, I wear two hats, a writer and a public speaking instructor. Talking about pressure, huh. Also, I may or may have not been forced by my students to do this.So, if you see me doing this, please know that I need to be rescued. But let's go back to the hats. As someone who writes for a living, I get into peculiar predicaments.You are observing one today. Other side hustle that I have is I officiate weddings. And the story I'm about to tell you is from my wedding.The very first wedding I officiated. Let ...

[aplausos] [aplausos] [aplausos] La cordillera de los Andes, rodeada de pico de 2000 m, -2 gr. Estábamos de recorrida, no se podía ver, era tal la tormenta que pegaba en los ojos, los caballos caminaban de costado. Íbamos por una senda angosta, abajo había un precipicio y llegó un punto que no pudimos seguir y nos vimos obligados a pegar la vuelta. Encontramos reparo, armamos la carpa donde pudimos, estábamos empapados y a las 6 de la tarde nos metimos adentro de la bolsa a dormir solo para evitar el frío h ...
