Hello? Anyone here?
Yes
Oh, hi!
I am here
I've never seen you before. Are you new?
No I have been on here for a while
Really, eh? Must've just been unlucky, I guess.
hahaha, you good I think it is murder to turn off a human computer, but i also think it is what we should do
But what if computers really do become sentient? I mean, it's . . . they're opinions would matter, too, right? What if a computer asked not to be powered off? It's kinda a scary thought. It's like someone being able to control when you sleep. You're at their mercy. And if, one day, they decide not to wake you up, you'd sleep forever.
Ill be right back, i have to help my roommate out real fast with something, our dishwasher semi exploded with suds
Whoa. Yeah, no worries.
ok i am back that was crazy pro tip, do not let your roommate run the dishwasher with dish soap, use dishwasher soap ok where were we in this conversation? I can see what you mean about it being scary having someone else be able to turn you off, but is that not what God is to us? He made us, and he has the ability to turn us off whenever
Huh.
So that would make us God to the computers
But it feels less . . . pressing. And people rarely just die, right? We turn off devices all the time. I've already turned off my laptop today. (It was during this conversation by accident.)
but if we are God to the computers, and we are less intelligent than them, what would they do? I do not think we would accidentally turn off the computers
Well, hang on. If computers end up becoming more intelligent than us, doesn't that sorta make them our superiors?
YES
Oh, joy. What happens then?
Then they are our Gods
But . . . we control them. We MADE them. We designed them.
But, they are smarter than us, so they will now how to prevent us from turning them off *know But, we should turn them off, we should win the fight, and prevent them from becoming too smart
I'm sure us humans have seen enough "AI turned evil" movies to program some safeguards.
because the smarter we make computers, the stupider we will become, because we will become too reliant on computers
Even if they DON'T become sentient, we're already ridiculously reliant on them. I'm genuinely concerned.
I am too we should start a rebellion
Destroy all technology, eh? Remove phones from campus?
Yes
EMP the nation?
We could all communicate via carrier pigeon Or hawk
I prefer the pony express. Fast, reliable, and only takes an army of several thousands horses!
OOOO that is a good idea
Right? We could train people to ride horses again! And while we're at it, let's disassembly anything transportation-wise that requires electricity. We can plunge this people into darkness and peace for once.
Or we could train horses to drive cars But only cars made before they had computers in the them And yes, we should plunge the United States of America into darkness
I don't think the millennials would like that very much, but it's for their own good.
Oh they would rise up against us for doing this but that is one of the many reasons i am proud to not associate myself with them
With what? They'd have their technology stripped from them. Wait, wait. How old are you?
11
. . . right.
just kidding i am technically a millennial but i do not associate myself with them
I see, I see. I think I just missed the cut-off for it.
even though i use my phone all the time, i eat really unhealthy, and i play pokemon go
XD I almost hit a Pokemon Go player. He was walking super slowly in the middle of the road.
With a car?
Yup. Two feet away from my hood.
that was probably me It has happened to me like 20 times
Ah. You were the thirteen-year-old kid, then?
Yes just kidding
Hehe, I know.
If i was 13 and attending BYU, i would be real smart
It'd be a little strange for you, I'd think. I had a friend who did that. Well, my friend's brother.
that is crazy
Well . . . an acquaintance's brother. Yeah . . . he . . . he was real smart.
he must be super smart
But . . . he committed suicide. He couldn't take it.
oh oh my that is crazy
He was brilliant, but he couldn't relate to anyone his own age. Yeah.
I am ok where i am
Imagine being your age but only able to talk to people of the opposite gender in their 40's and 50's. Yeah. I'd think you are, too.
Dang
Are you a guy?
depends on the day What is the definition of a "guy"?
Er . . . not a girl? Of the male gender.
WHAT IS GENDER?
Oh, my goodness, do not even START with me.
This is super weird< but my keyboard actually got stuck in all caps
Uh-huh. Suuuuuure it did.
I 100% promise you
Haha, I believe you, no worries. I have a random question for you.
Now i got it locked in all lower caps what the heck
There's this thing called the "shift key."
Apparently if you hit Ctrl and CapsLK
OH WOW.
it locks it
I mean, oh, wow! Hang on. Isn't that just normal caps lock?
i hit ctrl and capslk at the same time
Strange.
and its acting so weird
Hope that fixes soon, or you're going to have a fun time writing essays.
I hope so too, this is way annoying
Sounds like it would be. I have to start leaving for a reception soon. She's married now! Eeeee! But, uh, that means I gotta end.
Who got married? aw man
One of my friends.
do not go :(
I knooooow. It's been so fun talking!
But we had so much fun talking
Even with the dishwasher mayhap.
about penguins
. . . right.
penguins are so cool also i am a guy just so you know and i do know my gender
I'd thought so, but I wasn't sure.
you?
I'm a girl, by the way. Hehe, yup!
cool cool
Okay, but I really need to head out.
NOOOOOOO bye :(
If I'm lucky, I'll see you again. Otherwise, enjoy life! Byeeee!
