Blue Devil Productions is proud to present our Large Show of the semester: The Astronomers with Adam Paddock.
The Astronomers are the band you can't help but root for. Led by frontman Michael Stensland and producer Ben Baker, the duo boasts a dynamic and energy-filled performance that blends pop, rock, and electronic elements, resulting in a sound that's uniquely their own.
From opening for worldwide-known names such as Dua Lipa, Waka Flocka Flame & MAX, to selling out his debut headlining show (a venue upsize occurred, too), to selling out venues as an opener all within the past year, Adam Paddock's live show is something to write home about. Trumpets, electric guitar, bass, drums, and powerhouse vocals are the core of this act.
With new developments in generative AI, people are now creating digital duplicates of themselves and others to engage in a variety of tasks. In this paper, I develop a general framework for thinking about the ethics of digital duplicates. I start by clarifying the object of inquiry – digital duplicates themselves – defining them, giving examples, and justifying the focus on them rather than other kinds of artificial being. I then identify a set of generic harms and benefits associated with digital duplicates and use this as the basis for formulating a principle that stipulates the conditions that should be met in order for the creation and use of digital duplicates to be ethically permissible.

“In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks.” -John Muir
It’s springtime!! The sun is shining, the warmth is wrapping us up, and new flowers are blooming. It is a time of beauty, discovery and renewal. Did you know that spending time outside and in nature can improve your mental state? We all spend a lot of time looking at screens, but it is so worth it to try and take a few minutes each day to step away from screens and step into nature. Research suggests that spending time in nature can lower stress, improve memory, mood, and attention, and reduce depressive/anxiety symptoms. All these things help address mental health. Here are some suggestions on how you can increase your time in nature:
Study outside on nice days. Print out an article instead of reading it on your computer, take your textbooks outside.
Eat a meal outside. It’s getting light enough to still see at dinner time. Grab a blanket, some friends, and food and have a picnic.
Play outside. With the nicer weather, being outside is more bearable. Take up volleyball, spike ball, or bocce ball after class one day.
Go to Devil’s Punch Bowl and see nature in action with the waterfall and stream.
Walk on the Red Cedar State Trail.
Picnic or disc golf at Wakanda Park.
Walk barefoot. If nothing else, just feel the grass between your toes. At least for a minute. Put your shoes back on before walking anywhere or going to class though.
