I liked the talk he gave. It gave some insight into the struggles of trying to be successful. He also gave good examples of his multiple income sources like his books. I also didn’t really understand how big of a thing online business was back then when it first came out but from the lectures you gave, and Mr. Hanberg really put into perspective how I might take for granted how important and integrated online businesses are to our society. One of the main questions I wanted to ask Mr. Hanberg was if he went to college, and if he did, did it help him at all in his journey to his current occupation. I wish I did ask it because it’s a big deal for me. College is very expensive and for the degree I’m getting (computer science) there’s other things you can do besides college like bootcamps and get some of the same positions as a college graduate minus the cost of college. Also, it was cool that he wrote books that he was passionate about like his sci-fi and mystery books but also the non-pr...

Spotting a deep fake is hard. Tech is getting so good now it's becoming increasingly harder to tell what's real from what's fake. One of the easiest ways to spot a deep fake is by checking the lighting. let's say the person is wearing glasses, is the light reflecting off the lenses. Are the shadows in the correct spots? Are there even shadows? Make sure the lighting physics are natural and it doesn't look off. But there probably will be ways around that soon. In games, I know Nvidia and AMD are working on ray tracing for video games right now and bringing that tech to the mainstream. Since they've already figured out how to make light behave in games like it does in real life I doubt it'll be long until that same tech can be used in deep fakes. Another way you can tell might be skin-based. Like if the person is on the older side are there any simple lines or wrinkles. Is the skin completely smooth without any natural "defects" and how does the cont...

I want to learn what I need to succeed in school and work. I realized as much as I know about computer hardware and current new tech, I don't really know much about the actual tech industry itself. I wanna learn more about the working part of the class curriculum and I also want to know. I also wanna know more about the history of the www and internet like we've been learning the last couple of classes because it's really interesting and I think I would also like to learn more about the history of the "tech industry". Also maybe an idea of the direction we are headed in robots in the workplace and also what new innovations may be on the horizon like the warp drive we were talking about in class. I really liked that topic. I ended looking up more stuff on that and watched/read some stuff on  Alcubierre's warp drive. Things like that really interest me and keep me engaged. I don't really know what else to talk about so ill talk about one of my favorite hobbi...
