Bagging, Neuralink, and Architecture

     I have never heard of bagging before in video games and not really in Mario Kart either it is really interesting to see that strategy of the game that seems contrary to the game mechanics meaning that the game goal is meant to be raced and try to win the race. Bagging introduces the idea that you actually want to slow yourself down to get better chance at items in the boxes which these items can actually place you ahead of everyone else. This is interesting because it uses a game mechanic in an exploit way to get ahead in competitive gameplay.  This is also interesting because the strategy is somewhat of a change thing you basically have a higher change to get a better item after so many seconds pass as well as your place in racing which in some cases work well but others not so well if you get a bad item. Overall, the idea of doing something that is not normal or seen as optimal but actually is better in often cases is good to think about as far as other games or even just as an aspect of different areas of life that there are short cuts and other ways that may set you back but can actually in the long run be more beneficial with patience.

    As far as Neuralink my topic I presented on there is many interesting things I discovered apart from the fact the this is a brain stimulating implant but the fact that the long-term mission of the company is to scale this and globalize this into a way that will affect everyone lives by being able to improve our brain's function. It is interesting all of Neuralinks tests have been on animals and have recently gotten a strike for animal abuse practices but currently they still do this for their various products but from the most recent panel meeting have animals in a sort of higher luxury treatment than humans. This is good that they are taking steps to improve the company quality and standards of their research practices. Some other things to note is that there are many questions as if this product should be available to other people and not just those who have a disability, I think that its complicated problem but since it's something that is a choice that people would get these implants is good in the sense that it's something that wouldn't be required. Which in this case could have many benefits to it as far as improving our quality of life and reaching our full potential as far as humans. But I have a concern this brain implant improves brain function over the whole brain meaning would this also amplify the effects as a whole meaning would this just increase our current problems that we deal with such as emotions and trauma as well as tasks like scrolling on social media would this just create a bigger problem faster. 

    For the architecture of buildings, it is interesting to see and understand the complexities of the process that goes into each building and each room within the buildings. This is interesting because we never really think about this as far as stress testing each part of a building more of like how it looks. But rather than that both of these are very important in the design process of this which is why it's so important now that this is done in computer simulations to be able to get a design that looks good but also to be able to handle long term stress and weather conditions as well as other factors.
