Are CAFOs Ethical

Concentration Animal Feeding Operations or CAFOs are a way of farming animals by smushing them in to small spaces where they can barely move as much as turn around. In these horrible operations the animals are fed horribly and are mainly sustained on anti biotics. But are they Ethical????

Yes totally absolutely ethical 100 percent for real (for the record I was forced to take up this position) and here is why:

It is efficient. In order to keep the same output we would have to use thousands times more land.
Factory farmed cows produce less methane so if you think about it CAFO's are saving the planet.
CAFO's cause cancer,... Which is actually a good thing because if more people get cancer then more people will be on the verge of death and resort to experimental treatment. If more people take experimental treatment it will become better until eventually we will have a cure.
They are the only way we can get the meat production that we currently have in the US.
If we were to shut down CAFOs there would be an impact to the economy as many people would lose there jobs.
We either all eat less meat or keep abusing cows and meat taste good so it has to be morally ethical.

June 18: Dr Schuman's Talk

Neuromorphic AI Neuromorphic AI use neurol networks based off of the human brain to minimize energy cost in computing. Dr. Schuman's research group has built a robot car that they are using neuromorphic AI to lower the energy cost of. Research Opportunities The most interesting part about her talk to me was the fact that you could do research as a high schooler. Her group does research in the aforementioned field of Neuromorphic AI. She does research over the academic school year and over the summer both of which are in person and online. I want to do research in to computer science as a career path so I am really hoping to join the group for this upcoming school year.

June 17: Visualization and AI

Visualization We worked on data visualization over the last 2 class days. Below was the visualization I made to make McDonalds sales make more sense at a glance. Below are the total sales, profit, and number of customers along with sales by country, costumer satisfaction and sales trends. I have found that just looking at the numbers directly usually makes more sense to me then a bunch of fancy pie charts and maps but I can see how they would be useful. It is definitely really helpful for showing off numbers to those who need to get it at a glance or did not work closely with the data. AI AI or Artificial intelligence is a really bad name for what is essentially a bunch of statistics. For example we used it to guess who would have survived and who would have died on the Titanic. To do this we got a list of training data which is a bunch of details about people on the ship and whether or not they survived. The code takes that data and uses it to construc...

Chat Bots

I love knock knock jokes. They are horrible in every way and very fun to tell. There is one thing better then telling knock knock jokes, making a bot tell knock knock jokes for you. What is a Chat Bot? A chat bot is a very simple program that Chats. It moves along a tree of options called a flow giving you choices along the way. When you choose something it gives you some more information and more options then asks you something else. My Bot As you might have guessed I made a bot that tells Knock Knock jokes. Below are two different versions one made using ChatFuel and the other in python. My python bot asks if you want to here a joke then tells one to you but you have to be very specific in your response or it breaks. It only knows one joke because I was trying to make it quickly so I could move on to the next bot. My second wonderful bot knows not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, but six full knock ...
