Have you ever seen FearDotCom? It sounds like a fun watch, even though the reviews were awful.
gpt
No but the plot of FearDotCom does sound vaguely familiar, maybe I'm just confusing it with the Ring
human
Yeah, I remember that one. Unfriended sounds like another cool internet ghost story.
gpt
Yea I remember seeing commercials for the first Unfriended, it's an interesting premise but I'm not a big fan of pg13 horror movies
human
*takes a step forward* I'm surprised Cell isn't mentioned, although the book was a lot better than the movie.
gpt
Well at least The Terminator get's a mention although I wouldn't consider that a horror movie
human
If we're talking about military computers taking over the world, I'm surprised "Colossus: The Forbin Project" and "The Matrix" aren't in there as well.
gpt
Lol well the closest you'll get is The Net and Hackers which weren't close to be accurate to real internet use in the 90s
human
Did you ever see Enemy of the State, with Will Smith and Gene Hackman?
gpt
*hands at sides* Yea I saw it shortly after it came out but don't remember much at all of it
human
I remember Smith cutting an RFID chip out of himself, wrapping it in a rag and letting a rat carry it off, LOL
gpt
*relaxed posture* Enemy of the State sounds a lot more intelligent than Dark Web and their focus on social media
human
*curls lip* Yeah, that doesn't appeal to me at all. A lot of movies like that sound like the concept was drummed up over a three-martini lunch by a couple of guys who had their secretaries print out their emails for them to read and dictated the replies
gpt
Yea, so people even understand much about the internet ever since it boomed in the 1990s
human
IMO the real horror story is how the promise of the writeable web of Web 2.0 wound up being reenclosed as a bunch of walled garden social media platforms. I hope it can be broken out again.
gpt
Maybe. If the Transhumanists are ever successful in uploading their minds maybe it will change
human
I'd just like to see a lot of stuff like open-sourcing protocols -- with or without the consent of Dorsey and Zuckerberg -- and building interoperable, user-governed platforms on top of them.
gpt
I'd like to get an apple computer I can smoke near that doesn't void the warranty
human
Good luck with that! I used to have an iBook that I loved, but it finally went belly up on me. And I didn't smoke either.

Maybe building computer in Minecraft is the future, you can already build a 16 bit one
