TED演讲:我从全职奶爸经历中学到的知识(2)
So, I had issues with this, because I haven’t seen a lot of stay-at-home dads before and I thought men would judge me,
所以我又遇到问题了,因为我之前没怎么见过全职奶爸,我觉得男人可能会议论我,
so get this, I said this — please don’t be offended — I said, “Uh, you know, that sounds boring.
想到这个,我就说–恕我冒犯–我说,“呃,你知道,这听上去很无聊。
And what do stay-at-home moms do all day, anyway?”
你说全职妈妈每天都干些啥?”
She smiled at me a smile only a woman full of knowledge can smile and said,
她冲我笑了笑,这个笑容充满智慧,说,
“Well, this should be easy for you. And it will save us some money, it seems like a no-brainer.”
“这对你来说应该很轻松。并且会替我们省下一些钱,对你来说带小孩又不废脑子。”
Fast-forward six months, I’d been a stay-at-home dad for about a week.
半年之后,当我已经做了全职奶爸一周。
I was standing in my bathroom, looking into the mirror crying, tears — running all down my face.
我在卫生间里对着镜子,哭着,泪流满面–泪流满面。
My one-and-a-half-year-old was banging on the bathroom door
一岁半的那个在砸卫生间的门,
because I locked them out, you know — crying, tears running down his face.
因为我把他们关在外面,你们懂的–哭得泪流满面。
And my newborn was in the bassinet, crying, tears running down his face.
刚出生的那个在摇篮里,也哭得稀里哗啦。
I looked at myself in the mirror, and I said …
我看着镜子里的自己,说,
“Which friend can you call to call in a bomb threat? We’ve got to get out of here.”
“你能打电话给谁来一个电话炸弹威胁呢?我们必须走出困境。”
See, I had traded my manager for my children. I didn’t know what I got myself into.
看见了吧,我把我的领导变成了我的小孩。我真不知道我为啥这样。
I thought I knew everything about being a stay-at-home parent, and in fact, I knew nothing at all.
我以为我懂得怎么做全职奶爸,实际上,我一无所知。
Because even though my manager was — well, at least my children were a lot cuter than my manager, they were just as demanding.
因为,即使我的领导–当然,至少我的孩子们比领导可爱多了,他们都会一直提要求。
作为谷歌的研究科学家,玛格丽特·米切尔帮助开发电脑,它们能够沟通所看到和理解的事情。她警示,如今我们潜意识地将差距,盲点和偏见编码到人工智能中——我们应该考虑今天创造的技术对未来意味着什么。米切尔说:“我们现在所看到的是人工智能进化过程中的一个快照。如果我们希望人工智能以一种帮助人类的方式发展,那么我们需要定义目标和策略,来开通这这条路径。”
