This page explains the term trauma dumping. It defines trauma dumping as sharing a traumatic story or emotional event unsolicited. They sight multiple online trends involving trauma dumping including streaming.

I think the digital detox is a very good thing to be promoting. The problem is how to go about the digital detox. It should be a method of self care that you bring on yourself. In LA I’ve seen the digital detox become a trend. People se others “detoxing” so they detox. Is it really a detox if you do it for the attention?

This is the trailer for one of the sponge bob movies created in 2019. Movies based on popular tv shows tend to go viral. These movies also usually have a plethora of memes created out of the movie.

This absolutely is a problem. The change of intention, while sometimes can be funny, usually results in online discourse. Also the change of intention on actual important issues takes away an important message from real world problems. The internet has become a place of endless arguing and a place to go viral. In reality it should be a place that can spread awareness too.

This tweet was used as and example in a previous page. Elon musk is saying it’s the user’s fault that people’s accounts keep getting trashed. I think owners of these kind of sights have a responsibility to their users to try to keep this from happening. Elon Musk doesn’t share the same sentiment.

I think what it also does well is giving you connections of connections. If you have a friend, it is much easier to recommended their friends. Another thing it does poorly is recommending posts. The algorithms are inconsistent when recommending posts. Sometimes you look at something briefly and get so many posts like that when you don’t want to. Other times you’ll watch a posts over and over and still not get things like it when you want.

This is the Wikipedia page for ableism. It gives the definition as social prejudice against those with disabilities, treating them as inferior. It then describes the history of ableism in different countries and societies.

I feel a combination fo these two ideas has been taken advantage of in universities across the US. Some disabilities have become so socially accepted that they have the most focus in medication. Obviously its great that there are ways to help people with disabilities but students have started faking these disabilities for the desirable perks that come along with the disability accommodations at colleges.

The movie follows a young forger and scam artist played by Leonardo DiCaprio. The FBI are involved with trying to capture him. After his capture the FBI use him to catch other forgers and bank robbers until he escapes again. DiCaprio’s character is always one step ahead of everyone else.

My biggest concerns about privacy on social media is the sharing of data across apps. Why do two different applications know that I enjoy something. How far does this go? When you share information how can we know what is being shared.

This is an article that that talks about AI getting things wrong. It was found that a news reporting site was using AI to write articles. What was specifically noted was how they found out. Many things were being reported incorrectly. AI always seems to get things wrong

I think it’s kind of okay that google knows that stuff about me. It doesn’t know anything that personal. The way it gets the information is based on what I’m doing on google so it seems reasonable that a program would make assumptions such as the ad personalization.

This source outlines the controversy of a comedian’s tweet. A comedian changed his name but kept his handle on twitter to FBI and made a joke about the FBI and the assassination of MLK. Most people were outraged but some thought it was funny. The source outlines reactions and debates whether or not this is offensive or is funny.

I think general viewers benefit from this. The reviewers are clearly satirical and show it’s not a necessary item but might be good. It’s also pretty funny. This may negatively impact the seller though. Maybe they thought this was a good product idea and now they feel down because people don’t like their product.

Text analysis is an interesting thing. From afar it just looks like Trump’s mood is swinging. At a closer glance you see there is an actual difference. Based on the controversy of Trump’s tweets I want to see which controversial ones are from android and which are from iPhone. I also question why the iPhone doesn’t just tweet every time based on controversy.

I think it very much matters which human typed the tweet. Not for the exact reason most people think. Based on campaigning the assistant or Trump typing it doesn’t really matter. But what is important is the tone. If you see Trump’s tweets are angrier you can see his assistants are dialing back his message. But more often than not these tweets are still kind of outrageous. The important part is questioning how bad are Trump’s tweets that they need to be dialed back to just bad.

This source is a video by Comedy Central, where two drunk guys explain history. There is voiceover while you see satirical reenactments of what happened between Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. You see the election of 1800, the two’s dissent into being enemies, then their road back to friendship, and finally their deaths on the same night.

I think looking at this is very interesting with the framework Ubuntu. Ubuntu says a person is a person through other people. The connections in social media should be supported by Ubuntu since it is about social interaction. What I don’t know is if the technological aspect of it is unsupported. Is there a caveat that connection has to be face to face.

This source explains how zero based numbering works. In zero based numbering, zero is the starting point. This primarily used in computer programming. It is used in programs when indexing: the first place in the index order is zero. It is also used in for loops. When you loop through a list using its length, the length may be 5 but the count starts at zero and goes through 4.

Age: integer Name: string Address: string + integer(maybe) depending on length Relationship status: string or Boolean if the question is “in a relationship”

This source explained exactly what pseudocode is. It use used mostly in descriptions relating to computer science and coding in general. Pseudocode is bits and pieces of code that map out the process to an outcome. It is code in human English that is made so things can be more readable. Natural language and code is mixed.

I definitely have experience with agnostic bots. Im in the swim club at UW and we use discord to communicate. Last year we started having a problem that agnostic bots invaded the server and kept trying to sell laptops and jeans of all things. We had to do a whole verification system to get rid of the bots.

Adding to the thoughts on Confucianism, there are five main relationships Confucianism teaches must be upheld to have societal harmony. The five are ruler and subject, parent and child, husband and wife(or spouse), elder brother and younger brother (sibling), as well as friend and friend. Obviously not all people fit every relationship but the general idea fits with harmonious society. Confucianism also uses the rule almost everybody has heard, Do unto others as you would have done to yourself. In this frame of ethics it is called the silver rule. The other three core virtues are mentioned in the textbook but the names are not. Compassion and kindness towards others is called REN. Proper etiquette and manners in daily life is called LI. Respect for ancestors and elders is called XIAO.

I think tech workers have a responsibility to think through ethical implications. Many of these tech workers are working to make massive changes, and those have large effects on the rest of the world. I think there is an ethical obligation to really think through is this just for myself or am I really helping everybody. Further they should ask if their work is just helping one group, if so is this the right group to be helping? Tech workers should always think before inventing, if people knew I invented this, who would thank me and who would shame me for this invention. It’s not really a big deal for most tech workers but there should be a thought of, will this development harm people physically or mentally. The effect on others should always be considered.
