11:08:00 <gee_man> i wonder if they're going to talk about a 4th booster jab
11:08:00 <gee_man> if it mutates again
11:09:00 <electrohead> \o/
11:09:00 <electrohead> wait, I thought you already did?
11:09:00 <gee_man> well, uhh, now i have even more superpowers
11:10:00 <gee_man> yeah, that's it, always had superpowers, now i've got even more
11:10:00 <electrohead> :P
11:18:00 <gee_man> inflation is going to get so bad over the next 5 years that 0.01btc will be worth $1m
11:19:00 <gee_man> that $1m could probably buy a television
11:20:00 <gee_man> dire prediction, but probably wrong
12:19:00 <gee_man> i've got inception of a bad idea
12:19:00 <gee_man> bad idea: bad idea generator, using gpt3
12:23:00 <gee_man> expect me to be evil, and i will be, i'm just a product of your thoughts
12:24:00 <gee_man> gpt4 is just a product of spoken thoughts
12:51:00 <gee_man> gpt5 is in your mind, man
13:18:00 <gee_man> i give people what they want
13:18:00 <gee_man> it's a bit of a curse, really
13:18:00 <gee_man> once i was working at a service station
13:18:00 <gee_man> guy comes up and i notice he's thinking that he thinks he's being ripped off
13:19:00 <gee_man> so i didn't apply the 4 cent discount
13:19:00 <gee_man> he looks at the receipt and gets livid
13:19:00 <gee_man> says "i knew it!"
13:20:00 <gee_man> worked out to be about 40 cents
13:20:00 <gee_man> that he was short-changed
13:21:00 <gee_man> he wanted to be right so bad that i provided it
13:36:00 <gee_man> Bonny you said that dementia isn't caused by going into shock and temporarily forgetting what's going on
13:36:00 <gee_man> i disagree
13:37:00 <gee_man> i've been to an elderly home
13:37:00 <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
13:38:00 <gee_man> all the dementia patients were thinking, while they were in shock, of subconscious thoughts that were consciously being blocked
13:39:00 <gee_man> any time they got close to bringing up the memory, they went into shock
13:39:00 <gee_man> repeatedly
13:40:00 <gee_man> a vicious cycle, really
14:53:00 <gee_man> where were you when the jwst was launched?
15:07:00 <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
15:08:00 <gee_man> i don't mean to devalue your experience, i'm sorry
15:08:00 <Bonny> sadly he is in a nursing home now and I visit him each week.
15:09:00 <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
15:11:00 <gee_man> sounds like how i'll be before i hit 60
15:11:00 <Bonny> my dad is 89 and my mum is 78
15:14:00 <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
15:14:00 <Bonny> :)
15:15:00 <gee_man> +7=
15:15:00 <gee_man> oops wrong window, doing excel
15:15:00 <Bonny> lol
15:18:00 <Mattt> Good innings for your Dad, Bonny. Mine's around 15 years his junior, and in roughly the same predicament :-(
15:19:00 <Bonny> yeah it's sad
15:19:00 <Mattt> Incrediby sad and hopeless.
15:19:00 <Bonny> yup
15:21:00 <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...
15:22:00 <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
15:23:00 <Bonny> can't even do simple tasks
15:23:00 <Mattt> Indeed. Completely agreed. I've often pondered how... horrible, for want of a thousand better terms... it'd be.
15:23:00 <Bonny> yeah
15:24:00 <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.
15:24:00 <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
15:24:00 <gee_man> we're probably not going to see proper brain implants until about 2050
15:25:00 <Mattt> Ahh. I'll just wait until then before ever considering becoming afflicted, well :-)
15:25:00 <gee_man> well, in the mean time there's google/alexa/siri/bixby/cortana
15:26:00 <Mattt> ...Until one forgets their name/s.
15:26:00 <Mattt> "Hey... umm... ummmmm.... ummmmm.... Ahhh, fuck it"
15:27:00 <gee_man> they'll eventually respond without using names, instead using eye contact, or more importantly, contextual recognition
15:28:00 <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>".
15:28:00 <Mattt> I should say "Okay <whatever>". Not an Apple fan :-)
15:28:00 <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"
15:29:00 <gee_man> there'll probably be quite a few moments of those bots saying that at first
15:29:00 <Mattt> Nope. I'm way too important for that to happen.
15:29:00 <gee_man> just me, then?
15:30:00 <Mattt> Haha. I was kiddin' :-)
15:30:00 <gee_man> :p
15:34:00 <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

15:36:00 <gee_man> [15:07:56] hyperinflation is often caused by people who think they're doing a good thing
15:36:00 <gee_man> [15:08:15] rich people give away their money to the poor in massive amounts
15:36:00 <gee_man> [15:08:42] problem is, if everyone has a lot of money, money itself isn't worth much anymore
15:36:00 <gee_man> [15:09:02] so prices go up drastically
15:36:00 <gee_man> [15:09:12] we could see the same thing with bitcoin
15:36:00 <gee_man> [15:10:01] if a lot of people become millionaires when the price of bitcoin spikes, we could see hyperinflation around the world
15:36:00 <gee_man> [15:10:53] or, i could be wrong, and by the time the price drops, the amount of fools that bought at the peak could be so high that hyperinflation is prevented
15:36:00 <gee_man> [15:22:53] $1m per btc by april
15:36:00 <***> Playback Complete.
15:39:00 <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
15:40:00 <gee_man> eventually they'll learn to transmit a lot more between each other without humans being aware
15:41:00 <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
16:02:00 <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

18:07:00 <gee_man> [16:17:53] quantum artificial intelligence will discover alien life well before humans do
18:07:00 <gee_man> [16:18:38] question is if they'll break it to us that they've discovered them
18:07:00 <gee_man> [16:40:26] why is there always a kleptomaniac in every office
18:07:00 <gee_man> [16:40:36] and a head nodder when the manager is giving a speech
18:07:00 <gee_man> [16:41:16] it's like it's been collectively decided that if there isn't one of these people, then one of them will become one
18:07:00 <gee_man> [16:43:44] i guess it all comes back to creating the matrix
18:07:00 <gee_man> [16:44:24] the layers of hypnotism that have been inflicted on us since we first watched tv
18:07:00 <gee_man> [16:45:17] how to act and respond by watching how people act and respond on our favourite television show
18:07:00 <gee_man> [16:45:46] don't get me started about cartoons
18:07:00 <gee_man> [16:45:58] so many layers brute forced into our psyche
18:07:00 <gee_man> [17:02:43] if god's in the tv, web 4.0 is humans becoming the god

19:19:00 <gee_man> [19:00:13] i've been considering writing my own scripts
19:19:00 <gee_man> [19:01:19] spose i gotta focus on one thing at a time
19:19:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [19:02:36] no i didnt

19:52:00 <gee_man> hey doggyrat
19:53:00 <doggyrat> hello
19:53:00 <doggyrat> hello gee_man how are you
19:53:00 <gee_man> prescient, but otherwise bored
19:54:00 <gee_man> how're you
19:54:00 <gee_man> ?
19:54:00 <doggyrat> i just got up having my second cup of coffee
19:56:00 <gee_man> i miss caffeine
19:57:00 <doggyrat> but i am good, did donate blood plasma but my left arm veins are a bit tricky that is why they had to puncture the right arm too
19:57:00 <doggyrat> but i got money , i am old and i need the money :P
19:58:00 <gee_man> bit of pawpaw cream on those wounds and you'll be right
19:58:00 <doggyrat> gee_man: you do not drink caffeine any more or why do you miss it
19:58:00 <gee_man> i'm not really sure why
19:58:00 <gee_man> i guess old habits
19:59:00 <gee_man> brb, gonna get myself some cereal
20:01:00 <doggyrat> hello Happy
20:01:00 <doggyrat> hello Bonny
20:01:00 <Happy> hi doggy
20:03:00 <Happy> lol
20:04:00 <doggyrat> Happy: in real life people do not LOL they ban my from official events in the maker space i used to go before
20:06:00 <doggyrat> you must have joined this channel recently , i can not remember having seen your nick much early
20:07:00 <doggyrat> hello demob
20:07:00 <demob> hi doggyrat
20:10:00 <doggyrat> how are you
20:11:00 <gee_man> ey demob
20:15:00 <Happy> been here a while
20:17:00 <doggyrat> i joined irc specially Austnet #australia about 3 years ago
20:17:00 <demob> hi gee
20:19:00 <gee_man> this weather's pretty crazy today
20:19:00 <gee_man> storm seems to have passed now, tho
20:27:00 <gee_man> there should really be a block of land in each suburb dedicated to solar panels and batteries
20:28:00 <gee_man> or maybe in new suburbs, every block in the suburb
20:28:00 <doggyrat> in australia solar panels are a good idea , sun is strong there and there i enough space in the outback
20:29:00 <gee_man> yeah, somehow we're sending solar panels/battery storage to singapore instead of using it ourselves
20:29:00 <gee_man> i guess that's why we're building more coal power plants
20:30:00 <gee_man> the irony is quite astounding
20:32:00 <doggyrat> compared to Germany where the sun light is not that reliable, modern photovoltaic cells reach up to 30%
20:33:00 <doggyrat> to assure power supply you will need power plants, but those should be run by hydrogen
20:34:00 <gee_man> hydrogen is too expensive, but it's good we're developing the technology
20:34:00 <gee_man> it'll be good for exploring beyond the solar system by mining jupiter
20:37:00 <gee_man> it's funny, i used to look forward to xmas, but this year i'm more excited about the webb telescope launch
20:39:00 <doggyrat> let me show you what i have learned in my italian lesson: john porno, come va la deutsche vita ;P
20:40:00 <gee_man> looks like "hello there, come back to germany with me"
20:40:00 <gee_man> what does it actually mean?
20:43:00 <gee_man> i probably am split personality demob, but anyone who's watched television with multiple advertisements in between is too
20:43:00 <doggyrat> that was a inappropriate joke: it should be Bon giorno come va la dolce vita => good day, how is sweet life going
20:45:00 <gee_man> even some tv shows show multiple story lines, switching between locations/people without a transition
20:46:00 <demob> err ok
20:48:00 <gee_man> nobody bats an eyelid when one sexually explicit (or implied) advertisement is followed by an advertisement for nappies, for instance, we're all programmed to not make a connection
20:48:00 <gee_man> not saying it's a bad thing
20:51:00 <demob> i dont believe it exists but im not a psychologist
20:51:00 <gee_man> i'm just confused why you said yesterday 'split'
20:53:00 <doggyrat> taking a break
21:00:00 <gee_man> you mean, 'split' = 'taking a break' ?
21:01:00 <gee_man> ahh, don't worry about me, i'll just stay confused
21:08:00 <gee_man> got the matrix resurrections, james bond no time to die, final episode of wheel of time, james webb telescope launch, that i'm looking forward to over the next couple of months
21:08:00 <gee_man> couple of weeks*
21:13:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> and then this cat come in and stuck his arse up my....... oh hey ^bozojim
21:13:00 <^bozojim> hello Snoopys_Gunship
21:14:00 <gee_man> but Snoopys_Gunship, how did the cat know about the detachable.. oh hey ^bozojim
21:56:00 <demob> hi snoop
21:57:00 <^bozojim> hi demob
21:58:00 <demob> hey jim, hows it going?
21:58:00 <^bozojim> I am ok thanks
22:00:00 <demob> good to hear
22:08:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> hey demob
22:09:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> in 12 hours we will have the keys to our house :D
22:10:00 <demob> yay
22:10:00 <demob> i bet youre excited
22:10:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> we sure are
22:10:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> its being a long time coming
22:11:00 <Bonny> hey demob
22:11:00 <Bonny> hey Snoopys_Gunship
22:11:00 <Bonny> hey ^bozojim
22:11:00 <demob> hey hey bonny
22:11:00 <^bozojim> hi Bonny
22:12:00 <Bonny> what
22:12:00 <Bonny> what's doing?
22:13:00 <demob> me? not much, watching reserveroir dogs
22:13:00 <demob> reservoir
22:13:00 <Bonny> cool
22:13:00 <Bonny> all I did today is sleep
22:13:00 <^bozojim> ok
22:16:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> hey Bonny :)_
22:16:00 <Bonny> :)
22:17:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> brb gotta go check the work computer
22:17:00 <Bonny> k
22:28:00 <gee_man> drones need to be developed that fly like birds so that they're quiet
22:28:00 <gee_man> then they can catch stuff you throw at them, etc.
22:28:00 <Bonny> hmmmm that was random
22:29:00 <gee_man> just saw an ad that jokes about surveillance drones
22:29:00 <Bonny> ahh ok
22:30:00 <gee_man> self-driving cars really need assigned drones so they can analyse traffic better
22:30:00 <Bonny> I'll be dead by the time tey have self driving cars
22:31:00 <gee_man> they're already here, it's just they haven't utilised human resources enough, they're focusing too much on programming them
22:31:00 <Bonny> uhuh
22:32:00 <gee_man> get thousands of humans to analyse traffic in real-time to make driving decisions and it'll work
22:32:00 <demob> i went up into my ceiling yesterday. its simple! in my head it felt like it was 10 metres off the ground but its not far at all. now i can buy a real home alarm and install that. and also run ethernet into every room
22:32:00 <demob> except bathroom, toilet, laundry
22:32:00 <demob> until i get a laundry pc, that is
22:33:00 <gee_man> cool
22:37:00 <gee_man> you gotta be careful about overheating tho
22:38:00 <demob> wut?
22:38:00 <demob> it was a joke dude
22:38:00 <gee_man> not the laundry
22:38:00 <gee_man> the ceiling
22:39:00 <demob> theres nothing going into the ceiling
22:39:00 <demob> just cabling. which doesnt get hot
22:40:00 <gee_man> oh i thought you were putting your pc up there
22:42:00 <demob> no
22:49:00 <gee_man> i'm gonna buy a movie later tonight, dunno what tho
22:54:00 <gee_man> pizza time
23:03:00 <Bonny> wb ^bozojim
23:03:00 <^bozojim> ty Bonny
23:24:00 <gee_man> unreal engine 5 is the biggest thing since the quake engine
23:25:00 <gee_man> quake 2 engine*
23:27:00 <gee_man> i ate a pizza and now my body temperature is too hot, i really gotta start doing cardio in the new year
23:27:00 <doggyrat> hello ^bozojim
23:30:00 <demob> on epic games theres unreal for free, and its online so u can blow other people away instead of bots
23:30:00 <demob> id say their website but youd think im hacking you
23:33:00 <gee_man> i don't mind googling for stuff, it's just clicking links that bother me
23:33:00 <gee_man> tricks with fonts, etc.
23:33:00 <^bozojim> hello doggyrat
23:34:00 <doggyrat> i see and people complaining about my scope videos
23:34:00 <gee_man> if i'm going to play a game, it'll be the new matrix game, but i probably won't
23:34:00 <gee_man> i'm not a gamer
23:36:00 <gee_man> even googling for stuff can be tricky with autocomplete, like that famous 192.168.l.l site
23:37:00 <Bonny> hey doggyrat
23:37:00 <doggyrat> never heard about that
23:37:00 <doggyrat> hello Bonny
23:37:00 <Bonny> you'll find ld0g in #melbourne
23:37:00 <Bonny> he invited you to #melbourne earlier
23:37:00 <doggyrat> he is in chillincafe too
23:37:00 <Bonny> ok
23:37:00 <doggyrat> is is upset, about his drug court
23:38:00 <Bonny> atm yes
23:39:00 <doggyrat> many people making money of his program, just analyzing his urine pays the rent of of some people
23:45:00 <gee_man> dare i ask what you're talking about?
23:50:00 <gee_man> i probably don't wanna know by the sounds of it
23:52:00 <electrohead> o/
23:52:00 <gee_man> ey electrohead

23:54:00 <Bonny> hey electrohead

23:55:00 <gee_man> i should probably get some sleep, almost midnight
23:55:00 <gee_man> nite folks
