I got into computer science because I was dissatisfied with only having a foot in mechanical engineering. I wanted more options and have always been interested in computers, just needed the discipline and formality of a degree. If I could, after finishing this course I&#8217;d start another degree. Maybe in comparative religion or archaeology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I chose the AI Coder project, which is really like a wrapper around any other project. My next top choices in order were Mobile Treasure Hunt, Sim Firefighter, Malware Analysis, RTOS Dev, and the fire prediction one. Each sound interesting. I am interested in making an app mostly because I was one of those guys who would bother my CS friends to make apps based on my great business ideas. Didn&#8217;t seem too hard. Now that I know some more about computer science, I know I don&#8217;t know anything about app development. Sim Firefighter sounded like a Dwarf Fortress style project, which I love. Labor of love. Malware Analysis is cool except I really struggle with network work. RTOS is cool because I love lower-level programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I actually met the guy sponsoring the fire projects. He was nice and told me to consider one of his projects for the capstone. I did but they&#8217;re not my top choices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope to keep afloat by learning more about AI tools. It&#8217;s pretty clear AI is going to eliminate the need for most of us, so maybe the best strategy is to adapt! AI is very fascinating to me. I love playing with ChatGPT and using it to explain new ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s about it. I&#8217;ll include a picture of my cat, Calpurnia. Kind of excited to start!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"817\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/6793\/files\/2023\/04\/cat-1-817x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/6793\/files\/2023\/04\/cat-1-817x1024.png 817w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/6793\/files\/2023\/04\/cat-1-239x300.png 239w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/6793\/files\/2023\/04\/cat-1-768x963.png 768w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/6793\/files\/2023\/04\/cat-1-1225x1536.png 1225w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/6793\/files\/2023\/04\/cat-1-1633x2048.png 1633w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/6793\/files\/2023\/04\/cat-1.png 1889w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 817px) 100vw, 817px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The day I got her.
