I liked in the middle how the two violins played just off beat of each other and they weren't playing the same thing. It sounded like they somehow worked both against and also with each other. I like this for my own work. #atmospherestudy

The audio made me uncomfortable at times, like when the screams of children began after the woman said she was going to eat and enjoy the ice cream. I found myself trying to connect the screams to the ice cream. But I stopped myself. Per TMITM, I don't need to make sense of things. #atmospherestudy

6:19 - I noticed thunder mixed with the 2 different violins and the sounds of crashing waves. This moment surprised me because I was relaxed by the waves and violin, and then the thunder grabbed my attention. The lack of image helped me listen more carefully and listen for changes. #atmospherestudy

the sounds just switched and I heard kids screaming and I swear I heard "mommy help me". this made me feel a bit weird and confused. #knickerbockerglory

the sounds of waves crashing is really relaxing me. It reminds me of the post-hoagie nap on the beach in the summer. #knickerbockerglory

The sounds of the birds chirping are making my brain hurt a bit. I feel like each bird chirp is switching between my left and right ear back and forth. #knickerbockerglory

The primary takeaway is that LLMs are given the prompt to be a helpful assistant. Unless we know to change this prompt then it will answer as so. This relates to SME #1 because we need to change the prompt of GPT to our advantage and change what sorts of questions it will ask us. #primarytakeaway

If we learn that LLM is given a specific prompt, and we know to change that prompt, we can use this to our advantage in 209. We can make it ask us things that we want, and we can direct it better. #joesopinion

"you are a helpful assistant" is useful to us because it is our job in 209 to change the prompt of the AI and make it ask us things that we guide it to ask us. #helpfulassistant

When you argue with AI you turn it into more of a reddit forum. This was crazy to me. I would not expect AI to pull from reddit of all places. #joeandashley

I didn't know that there was a prompt that GPT was made with that it is a "helpful assistant." I guess that's why it lies so confidently sometimes because it needs to be helpful even when it doesn't know. #joeandashley

"Even if you try to refuse AI, if you're online you're in the AI world." This quote scared me. I think about all the times I google and the AI overview comes up and how bad it is for the environment. #joeandashley

As a student of media I am becoming more dangerous because I am an amateur when it comes to media studies. I am questioning things and not accepting norms. #hwa2 #dangerous

McLuhan wants us to stop thinking in parts because the splits that have become out normal have been baked into how we read, write, and explain. #hwa2 #whatmcluhanwants

McLuhan flips John Dewey's quote not to dismiss him but to show that even Dewey who was a philosopher got caught up with fragmentation as the normal and he critiqued it as the normal. #hwa2 #flippingdewey

You discuss Melvil Dewey and John Dewey. Melvil invented the Dewey Decimal system and argued that splitting things into parts is necessary. John Dewey was a philosopher but he too still got caught up with fragmentation. He is quoted in TMITM. #hwa2 #doubledewey

This resonates with me a lot with Instagram Reels. A lot of times I go on Instragram just to view what my friends have sent me, but then I end up on my own Reels "by accident" and then "just for a short time" and this turns into an hour. #hwa2 #mediafunhouse

Amateurs are able to see the anti-environment and question it. Amateurs can ask why info is being shown, and why some info is not being shown. I would want to be an amateur because experts lose the ability to question and be creative. #hwa2 #amateurvsexpert

A media environment is different from an anti-environment because we don't notice that we are living inside of it. Anti-environments are can be interrupted by an amateur. Anti-environments make us question where info came form, and what is missing. #hwa2 #antienvironmentquestions

Instagram Reels, I scroll on it a lot. It makes me lose track of time. I'll mean to take a short break between homework assignments, then next thing I know I've been watching for an hour. I would set a time limit on the app so I only get 30 minutes on reels each day. #hwa2 #buildthenotice

It means that he wants you to notice the type of media that you are viewing and not focus so much on the content of it. For example, you might hear about ICE being bad but where did that info come from? TikTok? CNN? Newspaper? #hwa2 #ideologyinmotion

I think this is true because media doesn't want you to realize that it's influencing your thoughts and beliefs. It wants to influence you unconsciously. #hwa2 #invisible
