Life has been absolutely crazy lately, moving to Arizona later this year and expecting a second child has had the plate full. But! Starting back on the enjoyable adventure of talking with a beautiful conversation with MJ! MJ and I have known each other for a while but getting time to sit and talk with each other for the first time, you will easily hear her heartwarming, care and empathy shine through every word.

Enjoy!!

I got to sit down and share a slice of wonderful pizza and a flight of beer with a new friend Grace!! Grace was a delightful and uplifting podcast buddy! Her warmth, curiosity, compassion, and sense of humor made it an engaging encounter and always grateful to have met such a remarkable person. Enjoy!

Absolutely loved getting to sit down with a co-worker of mine and talk about life. I truly enjoy getting to hear about a person's life, the ups and the downs. Because that is what makes a full life. Enjoy!!

Episode 9!! Super pumped about this one, I got to sit down with a long time friend, Jalen!! Always enjoy getting to speak with Jalen, because I know I will laugh, cry, and contemplate a new idea all in the same conversation! Enjoy!!

Super fun day! I got to meet a wonderful new person named Ian!! Ian taught me so much today, he nicely laid out our conversation from today. Ian and I talked about the following:

1.) How ChatGPT works

2.) The kind of work I do at FedEx

3.) The paperclip analogy about how an AI with relatively harmless goals can cause human genocide

4.) Ways to create AI that have goals complementary to human values

5.) Exploration VS. Exploitation in reinforcement learning

6.) One-shot reinforcement learning

7.) Racist AI

8.) The reason banks have to use easily explainable statistical models instead of advanced machine learning models

9.) Types of machine learning models

10.) When advanced machine learning models such as transformers and neural networks are used in industry

11.) Growing up in a Christian home

This is my first episode where I sat by myself and waited to see if someone would be on the podcast. And I could not have asked for a better first walk up guest!! Sydney, thank you for being the first walk up guest on the podcast and I really enjoyed getting to know you and learn more about T-Swift and Speech Pathology. Hoping all the best in your next chapter of life!!
