    I am honored, and even more grateful for all the truly amazing people I've gotten to work with innovating new technology @MIT @MediaLab @Empatica. Wishing my dad was alive to see how much fun his little girl has had being an engineer.

    I am now wearing my @empatica seizure reader. If I have convulsions from my #epilpesy, it calls and texts my wife and shows her exactly where I am on her phone. If this existed years ago, it would have changed my life.

    I agree with Maggie. This language used among CS people is a shortcut since we know what it's actually doing and NOT DOING. But when we use this language facing the public, it is factually misleading to them. I'll add AI doesn't "think" or "know" or "feel" or "learn" in the
