Then we did tech articles on Elon Musk’s flying car stunts, what AI does to us cognitively, and on the downfall of niche small company AI platforms.

Today, my main responsibility as an administrative associate was to research and publish new job opportunities on our site.

Today we mainly worked on lab work with disk imaging, and I got more familiar with true disk imaging and backing up disks to a new partition. After removing the iso file, Windows wouldn’t boot properly to do a proper installation. So I will have to do more research on it tomorrow if we have more time for the lab.
