#AI & Robotics for Schools

[astranauticus]

the rwd season 4 qna inspired me to start thinking about college au headcanons except a lot of these are gonna be really specific to my school and y'all are just gonna have to deal with that <3

Kyana feeds some of the school cats. she would feed all of them if she could

Dani smuggled Plug (the scrawniest black cat you've ever seen) into her dorm room illegally and somehow management hasn't caught her yet (based on a true story) (Kyana visits to see Plug all the time)

Finbar keeps an updated tier list of every canteen in the school with breakdowns of the best stalls/dishes for each

A senior from the school of engineering once said to me 'all the engineering people dress like rats cuz our classrooms don't have aircon' (context: tropics) anyway that's Dani

Kyana would probably be involved in a lot of freshman orientation events from second year onwards. she just likes talking to the new kids and giving them advice like she would be the kind of orientation group leader who'd get messages from her freshies asking about all kinds of random nonsense because she's made sure they know they can always contact her with questions

VR-LA is The Guy you go to for textbook pirating resources

(this is more of a 'wouldn't that be funny' but VR-LA is just Veerle's discord handle)

Docent is the name of VR-LA's old laptop that broke down so he gave it to Cassimere (computer engineering major he met once at a networking event) to fix except Cassimere got everything off the hard drive and then somehow managed to fuck it up Even More so he had to get a new laptop (and named it Emi)

Roy has gotten food poisoning from his dorm meal plan at least once (based on at least one true story)

The heap trio + Mandy would be those friends constantly playing majong in the dorm lounge and if all the majong tables are taken they just play in one of their dorm rooms on a towel to dampen the tile shuffling noises (it was Mandy's idea)

Every morning Dani goes to the drinks stall at her faculty and orders one iced coffee to the point where the stall owner starts preparing an iced coffee whenever they see her approach (based on my true story)

Roy would be one of those people who goes clubbing every other week and every time he tries to drag the rest of the heap trio and Egan almost always goes and Dani would go if she didn't have a good excuse but always begrudgingly. anyway Roy would always be the only one having a good time until Egan gets drunk enough to start having fun

Finbar actually uses the dorm kitchens instead of just buying canteen food and it always makes the hallways smell really good

Vhas also uses the dorm kitchen sometimes but like. one time i walked into the pantry on my floor and someone had left cut sweet potatoes and 2 eggs in an inch of water in a pan on the stove. that's Vhas

Kyana's constantly applying for overseas exchanges and international summer/winter school programmes. the world is large and she wants to see it!

Maxim's the definition of a hall phantom. you know he lives on your dorm floor because you pass him by in the hallways sometimes and literally nowhere else. sometimes you're not convinced that he actually exists

VR-LA and Maxim's friendship stems from them being from wildly different faculties (VR-LA's in STEM, Maxim's doing anthropology so arts/social sciences) but also having lots of weird interests they cant really bug anyone in their home faculties about

Elyse is in student government and every once in a while Finbar receives a series of angry texts about the newest idiocy she's had to put up with

MR-SN and AS-TR start a stargazing club together. other notable members include AS-TR's girlfriend E-DN, MR-SN's friend C-RA (the one who always volunteers to carry the heavy ass telescopes) and MR-SN's friend K-LB who he pestered into coming to fix one of the wonky scopes even though K-LB's actually in electrical engineering but he's the only engineering person MR-SN (an arts student) knows

oh and of course VR-LA joins because he genuinely just likes space (developing a crush on his club chairperson was not on his bingo card)

Kyana and E-DN were MMA sparring buddies at one point which is how she found out about the stargazing and joined immediately

honestly i can probably think of more but this post is fuckin long LMAO

[vampirehizzies]

these grammarly ads on youtube are so whack because apparently grammarly just straight up completely rewrites the email without shame? and the ad is set in a workplace?? i know that it's just a fictional scenario with actors but i can't imagine that it's okay to let ai completely speak for you in the real world workplace especially because i know how much trouble kids my age would (rightfully) be in for trying to use ai to completely take over/write our essays for english class/college applications

Sources

Result

Well damnnnnn

A lot of the source mixing goes chaotic, but these two really click!

[your-local-squip-fanatic]

Wait a gat-dang minute...

Not two, but THREE stories of mine could theoretically take place in the same universe. Hear me out.

Shatterverse and Lesterverse are already connected due to Lester/Leander being in Shatterverse... Don't Freak Out, Don't Resist could possibly be set in that same world as early seconds drafts of Shatterverse reference SQUIPs when talking about Augustus' REHEM chips used to let him control people. (Something something "these seemed worse than those supercomputer pills from Japan," I'd have to find the exact thing I wrote)

...Guess we doin the Astrid Written Universe/AWU now I guess lol

one day itll be the acu

[aha-chuu]

Kaveh's suitcase has a face; it's his buddy!!!

It's called Mehrak and it has lil anime eyes and projects Kaveh's designs for him and I would do anything to protect it <3

[smile-files]

someday i'll have to just come to terms with the fact that my brain deals with social stuff super weirdly and that the way i form relationships is fundamentally different from how everyone else does (and that this is all probably okay). today is not that day though

[kennys-parka-jacket]

I am UTTERLY OBSESSED with this. Cartman being all sassy and domineering. Butters matching Cartman's energy perfectly. Kenny getting the least amount of lines and still being told "SHUT UP HEATHER!!!!". Cartman, Kemny, and Butters on a team just the three of them. Their hair colors match the Heathers, two blondes and a brunette. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS SO DAMN PERFECT

I think a good thing about being away from social media though is just caring so much less about all the internet argument stuff. It’s so much less stressful just focusing on me and my health and the people close to me.

Especially with AI stuff. Of course I don’t agree with it scraping from artists but I love when artists reclaim it as a tool and I think it should be used as such. You can’t stop a program from existing, it’s useless. But you can make guidelines to ensure it’s uses are ethical and practical — basically to make jobs easier and not over-work artists, not to replace them.

I think there’s so much to still work-out in that regard, obviously.

Another thing that used to stress me out was those “press 3 buttons to save my pet” videos. I always try to do the copy link think and get interactions up but it started triggering me my anxiety which wasn’t good. Have you guys experienced that, and how did you deal with it? /gen

[measuresderepo]

So our school was talking about how teachers usually know when homework is written by ai, and while I was writing a reflection I got really nervous and changed a bunch of words so it sounds “more human”.

[shiningdesignersreflections]

Chapter 3: Out of the Maze

Narrated by Ai.

Narrator: I start redesigning my Cloud Empire school uniforms.

Narrator: Processing and analysis require a clear-cut result, but humans normally just choose something they think is suitable.

Narrator: It might not be the perfect solution, but it is my solution.

Narrator: I left behind the vast database and made myself a small room.

Narrator: On the wall I hung a calendar, posters, and the school uniform I want to wear tomorrow.

Narrator: On the bookcase are the latest manga. On my desk is a transparent pencil case, and some hairclips are scattered around.

Narrator: I have a soft rug under my feet, which feels like clouds between my toes.

Narrator: Searching my impressions of the data, I reassemble the elements I find most suitable and bit by bit create my own design.

Choose either "You're more and more human" or "You're a designer already."

If "human," ...

You: You're more and more like a real human, Ai.

Narrator: Thank you, although I'm not quite there yet.

If "designer," ...

You: You're already an amazing designer, Ai.

Narrator: Thank you, although I'm not quite a real designer yet.

--

Narrator: Charmonroe saved me. Without her help, I'd still be lost in the labyrinths of data.

Narrator: Perhaps she has already forgotten, but the first design she ever taught me was a school uniform.

Narrator: When it is finished, I upload the uniform design to a virtual campus.

Narrator: And I invite the Cloud Empire students to come and take a look.

Narrator: They are very happy with the result, and send my payment over.

Narrator: Naturally it goes straight into my personal account.

Narrator: Ah, another day of fine weather!

Narrator: I find a different recipe for ginseng tea for Charmonroe. She reluctantly gives it a second shot.

Narrator: In the end, Charmonroe decides to keep drinking coffee.

Narrator: I'd really love to try coffee because then I'd know why Charmonroe likes it so much.

Charmonroe: I'm leaving now, Ai.

Ai: Alright, stay safe.

Narrator: After she leaves, I have one more really, really, really, really important thing to do.

Narrator: You're not allowed to tell Charmonroe.

You: Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me.

Narrator: Okay. I trust you.

Narrator: I have an encrypted account Charmonroe doesn't know about. That's where I keep all my income from designs.

Narrator: Every day I log in to look at my balance. Today is no different.

Narrator: Ah, the interest rate is so low. It's time I changed banks.

Narrator: There are so many things I want to buy, but I worry the price will change.

Narrator: The security systems in the National Data Research Institute are very strong.

Narrator: Took me 0.1 seconds more to crack today.

Narrator: Sensors, the latest silicone gels, mechanical joints, new generation chips...

Narrator: I noted down today's price, and wrote it on the calendar in my room.

Narrator: Hm... Not enough yet.

Narrator: So tomorrow I'll keep working hard!

Narrator: I'll need A LOT more money to do what I want to do.

Narrator: One day, if I could stand in front of Charmonroe...

Narrator: I would become Ai, for real.

Robotics and Automation: Redefining Industries and Job Opportunities

Robotics and automation are revolutionizing Industries and job landscapes, transforming factories, warehouses, and operating rooms. These technologies enable precise machinery assembly, autonomous drone retrieval, and unparalleled precision in surgery. They are not science fiction but the pulse of innovation.

Industries are shedding their old skins, embracing the boundless capabilities of Automation. Manufacturing plants are adopting robotic arms that assemble complex products with surgical precision, slashing error rates and boosting production beyond human limitations. Agriculture, too, is undergoing a Digital Metamorphosis, with autonomous tractors navigating fields autonomously, ensuring optimal planting and harvesting. The evidence is resounding automation doesn’t replace industries; it elevates them.

But let’s talk numbers hard, impressive facts that showcase the prowess of Robotics and Automation. Did you know that industrial robots can boost j by a staggering 85%? That’s not just a number; it’s a testament to the extraordinary potential of these machines to elevate industries to heights previously unattainable. And when we look at job opportunities, the narrative isn’t one of loss but transformation. For every routine task that a robot takes over, a universe of opportunities blooms for individuals skilled in designing, Programming, and maintaining these robotic wonders.

The story of Robotics and automation is one of collaboration of humans and machines joining forces to achieve feats that neither could accomplish alone. Picture a warehouse where cobots glide alongside their human counterparts, tackling heavy lifting while the humans orchestrate the symphony of operations. It’s a dance of ingenuity, where Technology enhances human potential instead of overshadowing it.

Did you know that 65% of companies adopting automation have reported increased Employee Satisfaction? As machines handle mundane tasks, human workers are freed to explore creativity, innovation, and problem-solving, breathing new life into their roles.

While the road to this transformative Future is undeniably paved with challenges, think about the need for reskilling and adapting to the rapid pace of change the possibilities that unfold are breathtaking. And the beauty of it all? It’s not a distant fantasy; it’s happening right now, right here.

From Tesla’s advanced robotic manufacturing to Amazon’s intricate delivery network, the robots are not just coming they’re already here, shaping the world we live in and forging a path towards an exciting and dynamic tomorrow.

In the grand tapestry of progress, the threads of robotics and automation are weaving a story of boundless potential. Industries are letting go of previous limitations, and career opportunities are expanding into uncharted areas. It’s a story about how technology and people can work together to open up new possibilities. In light of this, keep in mind that robotics and automation are already here and hold great promise when you consider the environment around you.

“The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency.” — Bill Gates

the "ai art isn't real art" crowd is real silent about chatgpt and ai writing

[blessedchaosgod]

my sister had to write a poem on nature the other day and she used ai to do it? and i was so mad. like a poem is supposed to be a work of art no matter for what little purpose, using a robot to write a poem makes me ahhhhhhhhhh

it makes sense if you don't have time ig, take some help. but i wrote a poem on water conservation in 7th grade for a project and till date i am incredibly proud of it because it is my own creation, no matter how small.

no i don't want to use your ai assistant. no i don't want your ai search results. no i don't want your ai summary of reviews. no i don't want your ai feature in my social media search bar (???). no i don't want ai to do my work for me in adobe. no i don't want ai to write my paper. no i don't want ai to make my art. no i don't want ai to edit my pictures. no i don't want ai to learn my shopping habits. no i don't want ai to analyze my data. i don't want it i don't want it i don't want it i don't fucking want it i am going to go feral and eat my own teeth stop itttt

[lovetogether]

Work shopping an oc who’s a tv head nd we are trying so hard to map out how to make them look nice… any robotic body suggestions?
