Hard to say. It depends on what kind of programs/robots we were. It might be that certain percentage of us are our creaters, it might be that we got rid of our creators, it might be that there’s only one creator…

Too many possibilities.

The entire showerthought must be in the title

Your question belongs more to Ask Lemmy or No Stupid Questions I think.

In addition: what appeared earlier on this planet? Kids or cartoons?

Thank you, goodnight.

Do you think it is overpriced?

Given its capabilities and the fact that you can buy used MS notebook/360 device for such a price? Of course.

$498

optional keyboard cover for an extra $101.

Ah, I understand. It’s an attempt to replicate Steve “unwashed” Jobs’ strategy, where buying overpriced stuff makes you BETTER, DIFFERENT and UNIQUE. Am I right?

Truth is dramatic.

Dude, you forgot which of two worlds is the real one. Hint: it’s not the Internet.

And that’s how I know that voting should be a privilege, not a right.

Weren’t they right? I mean, the people wildly gesturing at everything around?

And they were right.

wildly gesturing at everything around

Hmmmmm, there’s definitely a merit in the idea, but I was more about dopamine excretion itself - from what I gather, the actual content should be playing the most important role in it, to the point that a, hmmmm, highly evocative scene would influence the brain no matter if seen in vivd colors or greyscale.

I need to do some research on the topic, to make up my mind. 😉

Interesting.

Gonna give it a read later.

Thank you. 👍

Can’t comment on the article’s content if it’s unavailable to read…

And judging from what little they decided to show, it’s not exactly an article relevant to what you’re saying here?

Could you provide a few links from some considerably respectable sources?

I’m not sure I follow.

Are you claiming that the colors have bigger impact on dopamine production than the actual content?

I absolutely am. You’re simply overthinking it - the scenario I provided makes plaintext *.txt perfect.

Sure, we can spend the rest of the day inventing scenarios, where Mr. NOTECH will be manipulated remotely by aliens, and what then, but that’s an exercise in creativity, not a situation that needs to be taken into account.

Unbeatabe, then.

The “PURPOSE” is the keyword.

If the purpose of the software is to work in closed, offline environment with Mr. NOTECH operating it via “line 5: rotations per minute; line 6: temperature in Fahrenheit” commands, then trust me, it’s going to get the job done.

“Press THIS button if you want to enter anyway”.

I think I need to fill a patent for this idea, since it’s brand new, fresh and nobody has ever heard about it…
