The History of AI: Part 3

Gabriella Sandoval, Events Liaison and Manager 

Beyond the continually evolving AI technology we have come to currently know and use, there have been various forms of evolution. From mechanical automatons, to artificial brains, to chatbots. It’s evident that the new, modern generation of AI has gotten better, faster, and stronger at a very rapid and astonishing rate. Now, in 2025, we’re at a point in time in which AI has the ability to generate videos based on prompts, and create music, storylines, books, podcasts, and pieces of art that look human-made all within seconds. According to the National Institutes of Health, signals from AI systems function at almost the speed of light.

Finding a Future in Your Dirty Dishes

By Jesse Stewart, Staff Writer

Far rarer than oil, money, or love, time seems to be the scarcest resource of all. There never seems to be quite enough to go around, despite an abundance of machines designed to free our hands, minds, and attention. Technology helps clear our schedules more than ever before, yet we feel busier than we’ve ever been. It seems that there’s not enough hours in the day, but what if I told you that you already own an instrument that can help you slow the sands of time?

There are approximately eighty million dishwashers in the United States and, if you ask me, that’s about eighty million too many.
