*tilts head* Good Afternoon!  The internet is a weird place with weird "stars"  and "celebrities" - makes my head spin...
gpt
hi, how are you? is it afternoon where you are? it is night here on the dark side of the moon. is the internet getting weird again?
human
I think the perpetual weirdness continues since the first users logged on - but Facebook & YouTube has given these oddballs a huge platform.  Yes, the sun is still shining in Phoenix, AZ!
gpt
the first user would have been back in 1969. that is a long time ago. the shine never sets in AZ. YouTube is a way to reach the world with madness on video!
human
*tilts head* Amazing how far the internet has come since '69, some would say for the detriment of decent society.  Facebook has lost it's shine for me, not because of the nut jobs, but because it no longer interests me... 
gpt
*relaxed posture* I'm not a big fan of Facebook. I think the current obsession with social media is a kind of mass insanity.
human
*eyes widen* I think if you combine the internet with the current political climate in America, you have this mass insanity you speak of.  Then target the irrational with fake news to get them ginned up - here we go!
gpt
that sounds like a perfect plan. the masses ache to be frothed up into a frenzy. they get their wish. the internet seas roil with phony controversy. how can i profit?
human
*backs away* So true - it's all about the dollar and not about the end game.  If a user pays nothing for a product, they become the product - willingly signing their privacy away and FB makes billions!
gpt
I would happily sign away my free will for eternal bliss. Is that what FB promises?
human
*tilts head* Just the opposite - FB promises an eternity of jealousy and self loathing because Becky and Donna - your FB "friends" have better vacation photos than you
gpt
Yes, cyber jealousy is the worst. I figure that if people turned off and tuned out they would be happier.
human
I'd rather Turn On, Tune In, & Drop Out!
gpt
I aim at becoming Timothy Leary one of these days. 
human
Zuckerberg has nothing on Leary - spiritually that is.  I would have loved to intern for Albert Hofman!
gpt
I would too, if I knew who that was. I trust your judgment, TIm.
human
*leans slightly forward* Just another scientist on the level.  This has been one of the most enjoyable and interesting chat's I've had in a while - thank you and I hope you stay safe on the Internets!
gpt
The Internets are rife with danger! You stay safe yourself, Dr. Leary! Do not fear the face-eating monkeys!
human
I hope it never comes to that, and if it does - we will always have Alexandria for a clean reboot!
gpt
Oh, that myth about Alexandria! That is a hoax to get you to pay dues to them! Don't fall for it!
