I live in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I work in a library. I have been working there for 7 years. I consider myself a bookworm. I like  to eat lobster, coffee.  My favorite food is fried chicken. I prefer dark meat over white meat. I have no children of my own. I am currently  reading Markus Zusak's The Book Thief. My favorite book is The Tattooist of Auschwitz.
I live in Seattle. I work with a Software Company in an office.   I work long hours. My favorite food is lobster. I do not have any kids.  I prefer the freedom of not having kids. I like to drink at coffee shops.  I like to stay home and reads books.  My home has a fireplace. I am currently  reading Faulkner's As I Lay Dying. My favorite book is The Brothers Karamazov. I am a voracious reader.
Just tried out a new coffee shop not to far from where I work.  I think it will be my new coffee shop - they have decorated with books and cozy areas to drink coffee and read! Sounds like a great place to spend time. What more do you want. Coffee, books and quiet all in one place. How far is it from your home> It is only a few blocks from my work, but about a ten minute drive from my home. Have you dug into the Faulkner book any further? I have not been able to read much for the past few days. Focussed on a project which has a deadline. Stay up late to finish it on time. So reading at the present is in the back burner. Will catch up soon. How is it going with you. Since we are on "spring break" here in Grand Rapids, I have been a little less busy at the time library; as a result, I have had more time to read The Book Thief. What type of software project are you working on currently? It's an artificial intelligence project where I will have to check the data being fed in so that it meets the requirements the algorithm requires. It is an interesting project in which the machine can create new faces of people who really do not exist. Are you interested in AI. I am encouraged about the possibilities that AI could provide, but I have ethical concerns with its application in the future. Do you share any of the same concerns with the technology? Yes I do. Bias is a great factor which can raise ethical questions. There is always an element of human contact with all these programs and that is most likely where bias creeps in. Once it is fed in the machine just follows the rules and the results it outputs could be biased. Bias will certainly always be an issue. Thankfully, without kids, I will not have to worry myself about how AI will impact the future for my kin. How did you get so interested in AI. Was it by reading or do you have any other reason. It is a great technological development but it can scare you some times with what it can produce. Just casual reading, which I do quite a bit. Did you move to Seattle to specifically work at the company you are currently at or are you originally from the area? I moved in here. I am originally from Anaheim, California. Seattle is a wonderful place too. Sometimes I miss the sunshine from California for it rains frequently here.
