Week 2- Avatar vs Atlas

Image
 Over the past weekend, I decided to indulge on Avatar 2 and immediately I recalled how similar the Robots looked like Atlas. Therefore this blog will further explore and analyze the artificial intelligence currently used in reality and fantasy. For those unaware, Atlas is a Robot created by Boston Dynamics with amazing skills and machine learning ability. On January 18th 2023, Boston Dynamics published a video of Atlas gripping objects, doing a summersault, and other human-like activities. Below is am image of Atlas and click here to watch Atlas  in reality! Now onto Avatar, which was an emotional rollercoaster in itself. When I first saw General Ardmore's exoskeleton Robot, it reminded me of Atlas. Also known as the AMP suit or Amplified Mobility Platform was used as a protective armor from the native Na'vi tribe.

Never once did I think, that creating a blog/ running ads/ working with AI/ etc would be required to get an MBA. But I guess this is where I learn to practice and perfect a skill to hopefully discover a new passion in life. My name is JJ and I've been practicing as Respiratory Care Practitioner for the past 5 years. I've always taken leaps of faith in different avenues in life, and this profession is nonetheless. I chose it out of thin air, and I just happened to fall in love with this choice. I am good at it, but I feel stagnant despite the daily traumas, gunshot wounds, stab victims, end of life humans, burn patients, infants with breathing problems, and even the individuals with foreign objects stuck in unexplainable orifices.  I live in gorgeous California with my 5 year old "puppy", yes he's still puppy.
