Do you know much about computers?
gpt
An average amount, I suppose. How about you?
human
I know a little bit.  Transhumanists want to upload their minds to conmputers and memory sticks.  That could be interesting to do so your future generations would know you.
gpt
I'm wondering what the economic effects of AI are going to be in the near future. If their comprehension is that good, there's a growing number of jobs that will probably be automated out of existence. 
human
It's going to happen and already is happening now.  Robots are replacing humans in factories.  The space shuttle's general purpose computer ran on 1mb of ram!
gpt
Just self-driving trucks would displace several million people. It'll probably cause stuff like Basic Income to become a lot more popular over the next several years.
human
*smiles* Once self driving vehicles hit the road there will come a time when traditional cars won't be allowed on the road because all the cars will run off of GPS and you won't own a car but you'll own a share in a car and it will come when you need it.  In 1936 the Russians made a computer that ran on water! 
gpt
Hopefully there will also be a lot less need for cars because of more compact urban design and public transit. I wonder how the water thing worked -- like, pipes and valves or something?
human
I'm guessing the water was used to power it, kind of like how a water wheel used to work to turn grinding stones.  Someone built a working 16 bit computer using nothing but the basic minecraft building blocks.  I have no idea how that worked.  ...and yes on the cars.  I don't see public transit happening in rural areas because it wouldn't be cost effective.
gpt
*laughs* Yeah, there'd still be some need for cars. It's hilarious the space shuttle's computer was so archaic. I read that they had to ransack abandoned hospitals and electronic junkyards when they needed spare parts for it.
human
That's crazy!  Smoking near Apple computers voids the warranty by making it a biohazard!
gpt
Sounds like an awful lot of them have had their warranty voided then. I doubt that actually protects them from lawsuits though if there's something clearly defective.
human
I'm not sure.  Do you like reading?
gpt
Definitely! I'm a freelance writer, so besides reading for recreation I also do a lot of research to make money. Do you?
human
*body relaxes* I read alot mainly non-fiction though.  Starship troopers is the first sci-fi novel on the reading lists of 3 of the 5 US military branches.
gpt
Yeah, that's scary. At least Ender's Game is a little less gung ho.
human
*laughs* Yes.  It's also suggested reading for many military organizations, including the US Marine Corps.
gpt
Starship Troopers is about the last thing I want future military commanders reading, LOL.
human
lol  The world record for speed reading is held by Anne Jones with a reading speed of 4,700 words per minute!  Talk about fast!  It's been fun chatting!
gpt
*smiles* Nice talking to you also.
