It has been a year since I gave my talk titled "Debunking AI". Here's a mini thread representing my thoughts: [start]

"Debunking AI" : A Thread
A year ago, I had come to realize how misinformed most of the people were and how today's social media and marketing schemes have generated a type of misguided "fear" in people. [1/n]
The only fear should be the mishandling of algorithms and misdirected intellectual properties, which in some ways is related to privacy. [2/n]
Nevertheless, I tried to give the presentation from my engineering perspective as to how algorithms are powerful and stupid at the same time. [3/n]
I did try giving them perspective on trending topics like fake news, deep fakes, bots, and surveillance. [4/n]
And after a year, nothing has changed, except for the fact that the hype-train is still going on surrounding AI. [5/n]
It's okay to think AI as a part of a tool, to be able to integrate to existing systems allowing "human" in the loop. But from a developer/researcher/engineering perspective

IO Error, Bad Block / Superblock

• first boot into live disk/usb
• use smartmontools
• make sure smart mode is on using smartctl
• figure out which /dev/sdX partition has bad blocks
• perfrom fschk -y /dev/sdX
• see if /dev/sdX can be mounted using mount

Make sure you aren't doing fschk from initrmfs screen which is a fallback screen in case of kernel panic
