@ethanguell @BOMBAS I didn’t receive this email, but the way BOMBAS handled a small mistake like that is really impressive! Might have to go buy another pair of socks, I’m loving the ones we got in class #BCSTT

We’ve discussed in class how a business degree is not always needed to be successful in the business world. Is coding is another field that can be learned outside of a formal education? #BCSTT #M

Great information for anyone interested in machine learning! As a math and comp sci major with an interest in AI, I will definitely be bookmarking this thread #BCSTT

Imma is an influencer with 300,000+ Instagram followers. She’s also computer-generated https://t.co/WZ40ZwVRN2

I’m curious to know what everyone thinks of the Twitter stories feature. Has anyone used it yet? Thoughts? #BCSTT #M

@nickkish15 @IsabellaMF23 Online shopping can’t replicate the experience of trying on clothes (yet). For this reason, and shipping costs, I think in-person shopping will return for the fashion industry once the pandemic is over. #BCSTT

@NishaMomin7 This is such an interesting idea! It’s hard for me to understand how something containing cabbage and pineapple could ever replicate the taste of milk, but maybe that’s a limitation of my human mind in comparison to an AI’s complex algorithms. #BCSTT

@RyanBern3 @CKoutsoubis Agreed. While some of the conspiracy theories spreading about the vaccinations are absurd, being worried about the potential side effects of a new vaccine seems reasonable to me. #BCSTT

JUST IN: Russia's Sputnik V vaccine developers say it has 95% efficacy

Apple has made massive donations to Boys & Girls Clubs all over the U.S.. Hopefully this initiative will inspire other big tech companies to donate their products to communities in need as well. #BCSTT #M

[Tim Cook @tim_cook]

.@AtlanticCityBGC and their community supporters are changing lives by empowering kids with creative new learning opportunities. Apple is honored to support @BGCA_Clubs across the US with technology to help students push the boundaries of what’s possible. https://t.co/zumyfBZ0cl

@LouiseK04 The example provided about restaurant employees really stood out to me. If contactless ordering stays in place, a return to in-person dining might not be enough to save displaced waiters and waitresses #BCSTT

@tor_newell Personally, I think this one crosses the “creepy-cool line.” I don’t think I’d buy it unless I knew more about how it works! #BCSTT

More diversity in researchers and practitioners of machine learning can help overcome the risk of bias training for AI #BCSTT #M

[MIT Technology Review @techreview]

Artificial intelligence is already creating real harm, just not in the ways most people would expect. The good news is the fight back has begun. https://t.co/JYCIZwKe5R

The most difficult task for a robot: It's called Mechatronic and ensures robots move efficiently.

@CollinAIngram @TomCiatto I actually had the same thought! But maybe they’re trying to reach a broader audience- Beyoncé is a household name to everyone, while athletes are sometimes only known to people interested in sports #BCSTT

[Jordan Lawhon @JordanLawhon1]

By far one of the coolest applications of AI I’ve seen. Think of how useful similar developments could be in conversation efforts in all kinds of endangered species! #BCSTT

BearID, which recognizes the faces of individual bears using artificial intelligence, could help conservationists aiming to monitor the health of bear populations in various parts of the world, and perhaps aid work with other animals, too https://t.co/Mw6a1yygQl

Rapid coronavirus tests that deliver results in minutes are becoming more widely available in the U.S.

But officials warn that the inconsistent public reporting of them is leading to the undercounting of cases and blurring the virus’s spread. https://t.co/xM5E1XvOPP

[Jordan Lawhon @JordanLawhon1]

@lindsey_zver @christielau_ I completely agree. I’m from Florida, and my state didn’t create many restrictions even after cases spiked. I think a uniform response to COVID across all states is smart, but unlikely to occur. #BCSTT

"Soft skills" are probably misnamed. They are the hardest to understand and systematize, and the skills that give humans an edge over robots. https://t.co/Zj7ocF6Wuv
