Hello How is it going? I think a modern day hero would be my dad to me
good We meet again!
Yes! How has everything been with you?
pretty good and you?
Everything is going well, I just got back from running and errand and then I filled up my moms car tires with air One of them was running low
oh, I just got back to provo.
Nice, did you enjoy the time with your family
yeah It was nice how about you? Things have been relatively calm the past week
I just got home early this morning
oh nice
I went to an appointment and then after that I got a job So it has been a good day
Someone has been chatting hard all day long
Yeah the person in first is 1.5 million already just about That took me like a week last time
yeah That is insane I can't keep pace haha
Yeah its insane But I like supporting the cause to help improve AI
yeah me too I wonder how long they can keep it up
We shall see haha
Hahaha
Did you start classes today then? I forget
yeah I did I am going to do linear algebra and a music history class
Oh those sound fun Is that it?
yeah Pretty simple
Oh nice, are you going to work as well? Or just have a nice amount of time
Well does this count as work?
Hahaha I guess so
Because this is pretty much my job right now haha At least the way I spend time doing it haha
How long do you spend on here a day?
well it depends I watch the leader board, but I have spent upt to 6 hours or more once but that was in the beginning
Wow thats impressive
Right now I have been on for three straight without a break I might have to do 5 a day to do well
I cant focus that long
I can only focus if I am motivated
Nice What kinds of things motivate you?
Prizes
Those are valid
Otherwise I would probably just get on for like a half hour or less each day
Nice
Do you think computers could ever fall in love?
That is weird to think about I guess they could get an affinity for something
could they? Is that what love is?
I dont know if that is love but it could count as something
yeah What is real love?
That is a weighted question Hm
wow this one is really making you think I can tell
I dont know how you can define real love. I think that is personal. Atleast it is expressed on a personal level.
oh Interesting I would say love is complicated and hard to explain for the most part
Like some people show love through service, others through personal time, others through touch Yeah
not entirely rational but in a way weirdly rational and mutually beneficial in many ways
I dont know if I could answer that without spending a ton of time writing a dissertation
hahahaha Well I wouldn't be offended
I just dont think I am either mentally capable right now Im trying to adjust to eastern time and currently its a struggle
oh hahaha Do you write dissertations often then?
Not at all It isnt actually something I enjoy
Yeah me either I am terrible at writing anything longer than two pages And I don't really enjoy writing things that are two pages at that eiher
Haha yeah I try to avoid writing essays
yeah me to
It didnt help when there are deadlines with the essays Most of the time I wrote it the night before anyways
Yeah. Those kind of help me to get going to be honest
There is definitely a curve on how helpful deadlines are Too soon and I do nothing, too late and it is just stressful
yeah It has to be just right I wonder if that can affect the grades in a class
That would be a really interesting research study
yeah I bet they do To early and you don't try hard or don't try at all
I am sure
too late and you start too late and feel guilty because you feel like it probably isn't high enough quality to get a good grade
They should really find the prime deadline time and implement it
yeah Maybe it would improve dropout rates and increase intelligence levels in america
Maybe! What do you think is the best deadline time If you had to decide tonight
well i think it depends on the project And it also depends on the person and how focused they are Also some assignments are best split into multiple smaller deadlines So I would say you could go about finding an average but not a fix all
That would be a safe assumption
yeah I think the best thing to do would be to set up a college course Then divide it into assignments And do tests on how long it took kids to complete them given an gradually decreasing incentive
Hm that is an interesting approach
then you could take the average student and gear it to them
I think that would work well
Would it be worth it and would the results be relevant for a long period of time that is the true question
The world may never know
That sounds like a tootsie pop commercial hahaha
Hahaha It totally does
was that the intention though haha
I didnt mean to But it worked
Oh that makes it even more funny hahaha
Are you one that enjoys a good pun?
yeah do you have some good ones?
None in mind, they happen and I love them Some people dont
oh really?
Yeah, have you never met anyone who hates puns I have gotten punched so many times because I say a pun or something
oh I have met people who hate "smart alecs" but not pun makers I think there is definitely a difference Some people aren't as amused by puns, but I have never heard of someone hating them.
You are lucky I love puns
what is your favorite sport?
To watch or play?
watch
In person or on TV
give me both I am surprised, you must have three different favorite sports
I actually dont know Haha I generally would never watch a sport on my own But if its with friends I can enjoy that
yeah me too I could absolutely never watch a sport by myself Unless it is byu and they are about to win a championship!
I dont think that would be enough to persuade me
hahaha seriously? Where is the school patriotism?
But with friends I did like going to the tennis and volleyball games in person I support the school in the academic success
volley ball is really fun to play
but sports..... Im not quite there
What do you like to watch?
I would prefer to watch tennis than anything else Probably since I played it and understand what is happening
Yeah that makes sense
What about you?
I love volleyball I would play volleyball, watch baseball in person, and then maybe watch football on the screen
Nice Have you played volleyball before
yeah I played it all through high school. I love the sport
That is awesome So are you pretty tall then?
yeah My whole family is I doubt anyone in my immediate family will stop at less than 6 feet
DANG Yall are tall
yeah Are you going to come to the meet up?
I cant, I am out of the state
Oh yeah Good point Thats too bad
It would have been fun to go Maybe I would meet some of yall It would be hard to not to just want to talk in person When is it happening
uh it is in the email I think all the details. It might be a weekly thing, but then again it is only two weeks I mean you could send a representative haha! Just kidding
That would be funny, I could send my sister. She has done some chatting
That would work haha
I doubt she would have time She is working on her PhD
Oh wow That is cool What is it in?
She is doing it on chemistry
Oh what specifically? I am not aware of the different areas of chemistry
I think its just a general one in chemistry, she is doing lab research with lasers and particles to improve computer processing speeds
Oh that is so cool has she done any work with quantum computers or just normal ones?
You know I am not really sure after that...
I don't think BYU does research with quantum computers but if they did I would be stoked I used to be interested in theoretical physics and quantum mechanics If you had to join one branch of the army and you had a choice which would you choose and why?
of the army or just of the military?
military sorry I wasn't very specific or perhaps I was too specific hahaha
I would probably do the airforce For flying I think It would be cool to fly, or design planes Or just work on them
I would probably do airforce too
Why?
I wonder if there will even be airforce when artificial intelligence takes over planes and all we have are fighter and bomber drones I have always wanted to fly
I think there will be supporting efforts for those technology
Yeah Maybe there will be drone commanders
That would be super cool
And the whole battles will be about surgically eliminated drone commanders and taking control of their drones
THat would be crazy It might make a cool movie
yeah I was actually kind of thinking the same thing
People need to get on these ideas and make them happen
yeah Someone needs to be combing through these chats and sending these to the big wigs in hollywood
