good question.  in 1936 the russians made a computer that ran on water. i wonder why we still dont have technology like that
gpt
I bet it wasnt really fast. it is an interesting idea though. soon we will have biological computers i bet.
human
the transhumanists will like that, they want to upload their minds to computers. I wonder what they would gain from that?
gpt
i guess they would have immortality? why would you want an existence without pleasure? seems odd.

i had heard that. the guy is a genius, very gifted. i saw the film. it was pretty good, but i did like the performance by Rami.
human
*eyes widen* i thought it was great. they all had phd's if i remember correctly. brian may also uses coins as guitar picks
gpt
they were all university students. i dont know how many finished their degrees. Brian tried a bunch of things to get new sounds.

gpt
i guess this is entertainment? some luthier worked to make a beautiful instrument. why destroy it?
human
*eyes widen* eddie van halen set studio speakers on fire while recording a solo. i wonder if it was on purpose or if he played that violently lol?
gpt
he used to run the voltage high through the amps to get a particular sound. he had a tech that wired it up past the point of normal usage. great sound, bad fire risk.
human
thats interesting and yes very risky. but I bet they had fun doing it. I guess you have to do some off the wall things to have a recognized sound
gpt
