Buddy Spotlight 🫂 ➡️ ~Laila

-

 Today, I’m really excited because I’m publishing my first-ever blog post, officially snipping the golden ribbon with a pair of scissors 🎗️✂️.

I’m glad to finally launch this blog and set off on this yet-to-be-defined journey 😁😁


That being said, let’s get on with today’s beeswax. If you’ve read the How This Blog Works page, then you already know what happens on Mondays: it’s time for our very first Buddy Spotlight 🫂  episode/chapter/whatever. (And if you haven’t read that page, you should probably check it out.) So, without further ado, it is with great pleasure I present to you the star of today’s spotlight: Laila! 


Who else deserves the honor of being the very first to step into the spotlight, if not the one who gave me the most support to bring this blog to life? Laila offered tons of emotional support and just the right dose of motivation for me to finally get this started. So I’m more than happy to talk about her today.

Have you ever seen someone from afar, made a snap judgment, then got to know them and realized they’re completely different—maybe even the exact opposite—of what you imagined?

Laila is a perfect example of that.

She sometimes dresses like an FBI agent, other times like a mafioso, but in reality, she’s a sweet, friendly, harmless, and joy-filled girl—with excellent listening skills to top it off.

She might pull off that corporate tomboy look like a total boss (and trust me, it looks amazing on her), but the only truly tomboyish thing about her is that she plays basketball—and her favorite color isn’t pink.

Other than that, she’s as girly as they come.

I’ve always been amused by the contrast between her outer styles and her actual personality—it’s fascinating.


But Laila is much more to me than just a super stylish dresser. She’s one of the most important friends I’ve made since entering university. She’s not just an amazing listener (a trait surprisingly rare in her gender, let’s be honest), she’s also been a hugely positive influence on my life—and I couldn’t be more grateful for that.

Also, I don’t know many girls who can rock a suit like she can. 🔥


Laila, if you’re reading this—shout-out to you, and thanks for being my friend! 😁

Hear Meowt 🙏➡️ ~ AI taking over the world isn't necessarily a bad thing 🤔

Alright, I know this sounds wild, but Hear Meowt 🙏: AI taking over the world might actually be the best thing to ever happen to humanity. Yeah, I said it. People hear that phrase and instantly picture some Hollywood horror—killer robots, mind control, Skynet-type apocalypse. But that’s fiction. The real potential of AI isn’t destruction—it’s optimization. Imagine a world where decisions are no longer made based on greed, bias, or ego, but by systems that have the entire planet’s data and well-being in mind. Sounds a little utopian, sure—but is it any crazier than trusting the chaotic mess that humanity has made of the world so far? Before I go any further—while I still believe that AI taking over our government could be incredibly beneficial to humanity—I also believe that the right to rule humans should remain with humans (even if we’re terrible at it). That said, I’m absolutely certain that AI taking over the global economy is a brilliant concept—both inevitable and immensely benefi...

Talkative Tuesday 🤓 ➡️ ~ Reflective Intelligence

  I'm a really big fan of Artificial Intelligence (since long before it became trendy), and I’ve always been fascinated and impressed by its recent advances and developments. However, there’s one part of AI that I personally feel hasn’t been fully explored. I’m not entirely sure of the proper term for it, but I like to call it reflective intelligence. Essentially, the idea is that an AI model could study a human subject—how they make decisions—and search for logical patterns in those decisions. The AI would then use those patterns to make choices of its own, ideally replicating the decisions that specific person would’ve made under the same circumstances. In the TV series The Flash, Cisco actually pulled something like this off. He created an algorithm called The B.A.R.I. (Barry Allen Replicated Intelligence—brilliant name, by the way). It studied Barry’s decision-making using all the data Cisco could gather, and it used those patterns to make new decisions. The algorithm was so go...
