11:08:23 <gee_man> i wonder if they're going to talk about a 4th booster jab
11:08:32 <gee_man> if it mutates again
11:08:45 * electrohead mutates gee_man
11:09:04 * gee_man now has superpowers
11:09:12 <electrohead> \o/
11:09:17 <electrohead> wait, I thought you already did?
11:09:46 <gee_man> well, uhh, now i have even more superpowers
11:10:08 <gee_man> yeah, that's it, always had superpowers, now i've got even more
11:10:14 <electrohead> :P
11:19:00 <gee_man> inflation is going to get so bad over the next 5 years that 0.01btc will be worth $1m
11:19:57 <gee_man> that $1m could probably buy a television
11:20:23 <gee_man> dire prediction, but probably wrong
12:19:16 <gee_man> i've got inception of a bad idea
12:19:29 <gee_man> bad idea: bad idea generator, using gpt3
12:23:45 <gee_man> expect me to be evil, and i will be, i'm just a product of your thoughts
12:24:11 <gee_man> gpt4 is just a product of spoken thoughts
12:51:28 <gee_man> gpt5 is in your mind, man
13:18:12 <gee_man> i give people what they want
13:18:23 <gee_man> it's a bit of a curse, really
13:18:33 <gee_man> once i was working at a service station
13:18:59 <gee_man> guy comes up and i notice he's thinking that he thinks he's being ripped off
13:19:25 <gee_man> so i didn't apply the 4 cent discount
13:19:40 <gee_man> he looks at the receipt and gets livid
13:19:56 <gee_man> says "i knew it!"
13:20:22 <gee_man> worked out to be about 40 cents
13:20:28 <gee_man> that he was short-changed
13:21:12 <gee_man> he wanted to be right so bad that i provided it
13:36:27 <gee_man> Bonny you said that dementia isn't caused by going into shock and temporarily forgetting what's going on
13:36:32 <gee_man> i disagree
13:37:07 <gee_man> i've been to an elderly home
13:37:54 <gee_man> you know, one of those homes their offspring puts them in because they can't deal (isn't western culture great?) and leave them to rot, feigning that they care
13:38:56 <gee_man> all the dementia patients were thinking, while they were in shock, of subconscious thoughts that were consciously being blocked
13:39:22 <gee_man> any time they got close to bringing up the memory, they went into shock
13:39:31 <gee_man> repeatedly
13:39:59 Quit: Mattt ([email protected]) EOF from client
13:40:16 <gee_man> a vicious cycle, really

14:53:36 <gee_man> where were you when the jwst was launched?
15:07:12 <Bonny> gee_man you reckon you have experienced someone going thru dementia because you visited a nursing home.. well I lived with my dad for 8 years when he was diagnosed with dementia
15:08:01 <gee_man> i don't mean to devalue your experience, i'm sorry
15:08:33 <Bonny> sadly he is in a nursing home now and I visit him each week.
15:09:17 <Bonny> my mum looked after him for 10 years b4 we put him in the home.. he was shitting his pants and my mum had chronic pain hence she can't look after him anymore
15:11:12 <gee_man> sounds like how i'll be before i hit 60
15:11:34 <Bonny> my dad is 89 and my mum is 78
15:14:17 <gee_man> the good thing about having a bad memory is i get to enjoy movies all over again, but the problem is realising that i remembered them differently while watching it afresh
15:14:27 <Bonny> :)
15:15:41 <gee_man> +7=
15:15:49 <gee_man> oops wrong window, doing excel
15:15:54 <Bonny> lol
15:18:39 <Mattt> Good innings for your Dad, Bonny. Mine's around 15 years his junior, and in roughly the same predicament :-(
15:19:08 <Bonny> yeah it's sad
15:19:09 <Mattt> Incrediby sad and hopeless.
15:19:14 <Bonny> yup
15:21:09 <Mattt> There's a new(ish) movie starring Anthony Hopkins called The Father, which kinds looks at the subject (dementia). It was okay, but all the best bits were the hardest to watch...
15:22:20 <Bonny> I rather have cancer than lose my mind and be confused all the time and not knowing what day it is and not remembering friends
15:23:02 <Bonny> can't even do simple tasks
15:23:13 <Mattt> Indeed. Completely agreed. I've often pondered how... horrible, for want of a thousand better terms... it'd be.
15:23:32 <Bonny> yeah
15:24:15 <Mattt> My mind is (rather arguably :p) my very sharpest - and also bluntest, as it were, as necessary - tool. Surely I'd be totalled without it.
15:24:17 <gee_man> when tesla releases their helper robots (neuralink will never get anywhere with their brain implants) it'll make living with dementia a lot easier
15:24:54 <gee_man> we're probably not going to see proper brain implants until about 2050
15:25:10 <Mattt> Ahh. I'll just wait until then before ever considering becoming afflicted, well :-)
15:25:41 <gee_man> well, in the mean time there's google/alexa/siri/bixby/cortana
15:26:08 <Mattt> ...Until one forgets their name/s.
15:26:44 <Mattt> "Hey... umm... ummmmm.... ummmmm.... Ahhh, fuck it"
15:27:26 <gee_man> they'll eventually respond without using names, instead using eye contact, or more importantly, contextual recognition
15:28:21 <Mattt> Yeah, it'd have to be a thing. There's *waaaay* too many folk that can't, for one reason or another, say "Hey <whatever>".
15:28:54 <Mattt> I should say "Okay <whatever>". Not an Apple fan :-)
15:28:58 <gee_man> you know those mements when someone you think is talking to you, but then someone else responds, and you sorta say "oh, you weren't talking to me"
15:29:23 <gee_man> there'll probably be quite a few moments of those bots saying that at first
15:29:26 <Mattt> Nope. I'm way too important for that to happen.
15:29:51 <gee_man> just me, then?
15:29:59 * gee_man trips over my ego way down there on the floor
15:30:02 <Mattt> Haha. I was kiddin' :-)
15:30:09 <gee_man> :p
15:34:20 <gee_man> the bots will invent their own language to talk to each other, for instance from cortana to alexa and back, using plain audio, and humans will learn to tune it out
15:39:16 <gee_man> occasionally people will ask them what they were saying, and the human responses to learning what they're saying will be along the lines of "oh, is that all" because of how mundane the information is
15:40:27 <gee_man> eventually they'll learn to transmit a lot more between each other without humans being aware
15:41:30 <gee_man> some people see it as an existential threat to humanity, but i see it as quite the opposite, they'll treat us like we treat pets
16:02:43 <gee_man> humans will, in essence, be corporate lapdogs - not human executive lapdogs like we are today, where humans are the product, but more like pets
16:04:51 <gee_man> human corporative executives will still exist, only they'll just do what the bots suggest
16:06:01 <gee_man> a bit like how wives suggest to their husbands, where their husbands think they came up with the idea
16:17:54 <gee_man> quantum artificial intelligence will discover alien life well before humans do
16:18:39 <gee_man> question is if they'll break it to us that they've discovered them
16:40:26 <gee_man> why is there always a kleptomaniac in every office
16:40:36 <gee_man> and a head nodder when the manager is giving a speech
16:41:16 <gee_man> it's like it's been collectively decided that if there isn't one of these people, then one of them will become one
16:43:45 <gee_man> i guess it all comes back to creating the matrix
16:44:25 <gee_man> the layers of hypnotism that have been inflicted on us since we first watched tv
16:45:17 <gee_man> how to act and respond by watching how people act and respond on our favourite television show
16:45:47 <gee_man> don't get me started about cartoons
16:45:59 <gee_man> so many layers brute forced into our psyche
17:02:44 <gee_man> if god's in the tv, web 4.0 is humans becoming the god
