I was at work and one of my coworkers (she’s in her late 30s) abruptly brought up a lady asking an AI questions like this on some vertical video platform. She thought it was enlightening and thought provoking.
It was literally just nonsense, the girl and the AI were just making stuff up together, each encouraging the other, compounding the stupidity. Exactly what you described here.
I was dumbfounded, I just nodded along to hit each dialogue option and go somewhere else. We’re not doing well..
I have an Omnibot 2000, but his arms are broken. I’ll fix it eventually. What’s really interesting is the black Omnibot with the stereo speakers on his shoulders, I never saw that model before.
Apparently in Japan they had access to this link cable that allowed the PSone to use a cell phone as a modem, turning the console into an E-Machine, doing basic E-Mail, web browsing, etc. A few games supported it as well. A lot of online sites call it the i-Mode adapter or say that i-mode is a PlayStation service, but i-Mode is just an ISP from Japan. Some sources mention that it was only compatible with the PSone and not the PlayStation, but I can’t find why that would be.

Elliot in the video game Stardew Valley liked me back so naturally I don’t want to play the game anymore. Very healthy approach to relationships.
He looks like he’s just been startled and is peeking to see whats going on

Behold, a thing I saw.
What do you think would surprise a person from the 1950s most about modern computers?
How disposable they've become. We toss away computers like old socks.
How we got away from the model of timesharing for so long, only to go right back to cloud computing. People were so eager to personalize the experience, it's why things like the PDP-1 came into existance in the late 50s.
How much software went from this thing that was freely, openly shared as just a point of fact to a world where people pay for software regularly.
How much people trust a computer to think for them. A computer cannot think, it can only do math really fast, *you* have to think about how to make use of that platform to make your workload easier. People using computers in the 50s understood this implicitly, and now some people want shitty autocomplete to do the hard part for them. The human tasks that are worth doing, but that's a whole rant in itself.
How much computers just get powered off, or just run without doing anything, because of how plentiful and commonplace they are. In the 50s, no computer time was wasted, it was too expensive. If the machine was operational back then, it was busy.
Some of you guys have never burned a CD and it shows
My blog, or attempt at one. On the internet I’m a 22 year old guy, but in real life I’m, well… the same. (My pfp is what I look like)
