Category theory, *very basically*, is the study of functions. ANY functions. ANYTHING that changes some object to another object is fair game here. Because of this FUNDAMENTAL property of "changing stuff into other stuff" being everywhere (lambda calculus, programming, normal math functions, even) it can reason about MANY disciplines of math, programming, and even language! So basically, it's universal tools for many things. Pretty useful! :)
My buddy has a PhD in pure mathematics and says.. "Studying category theory is like eating your vegetables." Not sure what that means but it has never left my mind. // Also it is technically composition not functions but shh we don't want to scare away the people who just saw this definition straight away

Get the Theory Workermug. 1) The jobs that AI (the latest generation of computing technology) will largely be isolated to many of the same jobs the previous generation of computers created, facilitated or enabled, and the technology will allow the workers left in a given job to do the work of 10, decimating the demand for any specific set of skills under the previous technical paradigm. The upshot is that - for a time - jobs which are not dependent on computers (e.g. carpenters, police, paramedics, doctors, refuse workers, power linesmen) will be less impacted by the rollout of ML and AI. And while, say, AI may beget only 10% of the previous need for architects using computers to draft, there will remain a need for program managers, prompt engineers, developers, mathematicians and system engineers needed to centrally manage AI and ML systems. 2) Eventually technology will advance the point that corporations push to have androids perform the remaining jobs that only humans could perform (e.g. carpenters, police, paramedics, doctors, refuse workers, power linesmen)and regions will need to have that debate on whether technology and commerce are the more important that human-centricity and a moralized human populace.

"I'm a mailman, so, according to West's Theory Of Isolated Economic Decimation, my job delivering mail should be fine as the Postal Service grows more efficient at correctly finding addresses to route dead letters to, and scheduling delivery drivers."

Get the West's Theory Of Isolated Economic Decimationmug. This theory states that the chances of survival of a long distance relationship are directly proportional to the couple's resistance to a midnight craving for chocolate and patience to wait for it till the next day.
I SO wanna have chocolate right NOW! I'd suck at long distance relationships courtesy the chocolate theory.
I think I should end this relationship. Last night's urge for chocolate, chocolate theoried my relationship. (verb)

They dress in bikinnis when feeling silly. Theyre like little garden knomes, they soawn in the masses and peep theres itty bitty heads through windows when alone. They typically wear champion shirts and vans. They gather in groups and attack by viciously jump up and down to create a decoy, then the leader Arreola tears the opponent down
