Are there any downsides to this new food science? Can fully artificial food be trusted to be equally as healthy for our bodies as organic or natural foods? (3/3)

https://t.co/EoB465kLw2 2 years ago a device was created that could recreate any existing flavor from 5 base flavors (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami). Research is continuing so that there can eventually be a printer that synthesizes food in an instant from (1/3) #mchslang23

flavor cartridges and texture packets without the use of any actual ingredients. Any desired nutrients or vitamins could also be implemented in the printing process without affecting the flavor. (2/3)

@Aispose @RiyaR2320 The contrast with alcohol was interesting. People may be fond of guns because it gives them a sense of power over the govt. and makes them feel individually strong. It connects back to the idealistic American Dream that is still stuck in the outdated Bill of Rights.

[Annika U. @Red_Toppat]

@Rachel_Rrr14 That's true, once you give permission for them to use your face, the only thing you can do is trust the company to use it appropriately. And because this is a new technology there aren't strict laws in place to regulate these transactions.

https://t.co/FlEIPqVxGw deepfake is used to keep dead actors still working and some companies use it to replace their problematic/selfish actors so they can still use their faces as click-bait. Many theorize deepfake will eventually replace most acting jobs. #mchslang23

@disar__ray It's like choosing a lesser of two evils in order to feel motivated to do something. This procrastination strategy is pretty helpful every once in a while, but if it was used all the time then you'd have to keep finding a worse option. You'd definitely be in trouble eventually.

[Annika U. @Red_Toppat]

@Aispose I think this approach is humorous, but morally incorrect. It would be best to solve it through legal means with something like a court case, but a solution like that is very slow to work. Making threats isn't a good idea, but it's true that it might quickly solve the problem.

[Annika U. @Red_Toppat]

But is involving AI in the interviewing process a good idea? Will it make it harder to get a job? Is this an area that should stick solely with a human touch? (2/2)

[Annika U. @Red_Toppat]

My brother, who's in college, recently met with Paradox AI. They're a company who's in the process of creating an AI meant to speed up the hiring process. For example: filtering through applications/resumes based on key words. (1/2) #mchslang23

@Ninja_Tornado1 them resources, Pearl Harbor was bombed. And as Riya said, a reaction like this is especially concerning because he seems to be making such emotional decisions. Not to say we shouldn't do anything, but it's a possible consequence to keep in mind. (2/2)

[Annika U. @Red_Toppat]

@Ninja_Tornado1 There's also the danger that if he's pushed into a corner he'll do something drastic in return. It's a difficult balance to maintain. Also, the current situation has some similarities with pre-WWII. When we pressured Japan and stopped supplying (1/2)

[Annika U. @Red_Toppat]

The company may use your face to support things you're not okay with, so how far should this technology be allowed to go? Film Theory explains the situation well with references to Star Wars and the 2002 film "S1M0NE" https://t.co/rFBt8Q8U9r

[Annika U. @Red_Toppat]

In the article the faces are being used for commercial purposes. What restrictions should be placed on this new technology? It can give broke college students a chance to make money, but it may take over jobs, or lower the quality of film, but it can also keep actors alive.

[Annika U. @Red_Toppat]

How should we dictate AI's moral codes? Do we need a universal moral code? What would be the most efficient way to come to an agreement regarding "the right decision during a bad event?" #mchslang23

[Annika U. @Red_Toppat]

How could these moral dilemmas relate to other automated systems? Should we or should we not allow AI to value humans unequally?

[Annika U. @Red_Toppat]

https://t.co/cYHMf0n25F With self-driving cars becoming more common, there comes into question the ethics of AIs. Researchers developed the moral machine in order to gather information on what most people consider the lesser of two evils. Try it for yourself. #mchslang23

[Annika U. @Red_Toppat]

These simulations are quite drastic and displeasing, but if self-driving cars become common place in the future, in the face of an accident the AI will have to make some kind of decision.

[Annika U. @Red_Toppat]

There are a variety of scenarios and it even discusses whether or not humans should be given a "value system." For example: a common dilemma in the simulation is to decide whether or not to kill a doctor to save a homeless person. Or whether one gender should be more important.

@mchshavenk It's disheartening to see how many disposable masks get left on the ground around school. I've seen many people throw them to the ground while they quickly exchange it for a new one. Providing more trashcans may help, but even then I don't think people will actively seek them out
