An intersting discussion on AI augmented programming

So, are we in the Dune, terminator, or matrix universe?

So, are we in the Dune, terminator, or matrix universe?

Yes.

[AKIron]

Seems to be a growing consensus we are in a black hole.

[Eagler]

Weird to think everything we know has been presented to us using only 5 ports for the data transfer...

Our five senses can only go so far...

Who knows what else is here that we can't sense thus know with these limitations..

I thought it was a simulation.

Or maybe the black hole is how you render a simulation.  It's the universe projector.

I pick one or two threads to read whenever I log in and this one happens to be one today. What a bunch of nerds! Each and every one of you who participated in this thread needs an atomic wedgie and their pocket protector sent through the paper shredder. Isn't there a Star Trek convention or something going on you could attend? Maybe a "Stranger Things" marathon on Netflix?


I apologize. I only saw one of the Star Wars movies, hated Star Trek on TV thus never saw the movies and definitely avoided 2001 and 2010 on principle. I did watch Buck Rogers though but only to see Erin Gray in the tight skinsuits. I basically do not like the Sci-Fi genre as a whole and I'm not sure why. I even disliked Planet of the Apes! Yeah, I'm an infidel so lineup for your wedgies and/or pink belly's.

Wait. Your saving grace is the fact I thoroughly enjoyed "The Martian." I enjoyed the book more than the movie but both I did enjoy. You can go now, you've been granted a reprieve.

Nerds!

I kid of course. Carry on, geeks.

Have you read:

Damn you!

Yup, read it and enjoyed it more than The Martian. I may even had shed a minute tear when <spoiler alert> happened at the end. It'll be a great movie.

Still, no excuse for the absolute nerdery in this thread, Darth Vader!

If you enjoyed those two, I bet you a dollar you'd enjoy:

Captain Adama was correct.

I think one day soon that AI going offline will be as impactful to us as losing the Internet is today.

I use it for so many things atm and it is so time saving, that at this point if it suddenly vanished, it'd be like being asked to use the internet without Google or any other search engine. 

Well, technically it's possible, but I would never tolerate going back to that.

I almost wish the internet would go off for a month, just to prove to people that putting all your eggs in this basket is a fatal mistake. But like everyone else, we think it won't happen to us.

This is why I don't have a Black Mamba sitting over here by the fish tank.  I love em' but would rather watch someone else miss with them.

You do realize the "anxiety" the loss of the internet would cause to many if not the majority of Americans if not the globe if the internet went dark for just a week let alone a month..

I think you'd see ppl actually bouncing into walls while staring at their phone as they swipe at it endlessly for the next refresh of Instagram..and others in the fetal position crying for momma...extreme civil unrest eventually

We are a very sad lot these days imo..

It would be the icing on the cake of a power grid hack..
