My dad loved the 3 Stooges and had seen one of the stooges play violin and wanted me to play because of that!" }, { "role": "user", "content": "How long have you played the violin? Is the 3 stooges a play?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I've played for at least 10 years. Three stooges - old time comedic trio. Black and white movies. Slapstick humor. You could probably find them on the internet and find a bunch of clips. You spend a lot of time on the internet?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "You are very talented! Comedic trio when it's musical? That is interesting. I would love to watch those kind of movies. I" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Well, the movies weren't musicals really. Just one of them, Larry Fine was musically inclined. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "Are they silenced films? " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "No. They started in Vaudeville but I think the peak of their popularity was in the late 30s early 40s. You know who else was a violinist? Albert Einstein. I was pretty surprised to learn that. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "No wonder Albert Einstein was a prodigy and a genius!!!" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Right? So many skills in one man, you'd think he might have been a robot! But then again, another human would have had to have been smarter than THAT to program him. Ha!" }, { "role": "user", "content": "His mind is imaginative and seems so unrealistic. You already know he is a mad genius. Speaking of robots, they can be controlled by rat brains. That is insane." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "OMG! That is pretty insane. So the rat make it go search for cheese? Ha! Here's another insane robot fact. Did you know Michael Jackson had planned to build a 50 foot tall moon walking robot?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "However, it is the robot looking for cheese. I think I would be down to have a rat robot as a pet for a day. Well, where is this 50 foot tall moon walking robot then?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Don't think he ever got to it but it was supposed to be roaming around the desert sands of las vegas. I'd find that freaky. Did you ever watch that show Mythbusters? They used to make a lot of robot things on that show to test things." }, { "role": "user", "content": "For a second I thought you meant ghost busters. Why did they stop the show?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Ha! I liked Ghostbusters too. Not sure why they stopped Mythbusters. Did you know one of the guys on the show, Grant Imahara, created Craig Ferguson's (former talk show host on CBS) robot sidekick?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "The theme song is funny and catchy. That is weird. If I had a robot by my side, I would cry. I feel like one day robots will destroy and rule the set." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I'm sure people have theories on whether or not robots could take over the world! Could probably look some of those theories up on the internet. Amazing what you'll find on the World Wide Web." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Conspiracies on YouTube are everywhere. I hope that does not exist though. " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yeah, some of the stuff you find on internet is useless stuff. But some of it's important, like that stuff you're supposed to read when buying products or services online. In all honesty though, I don't think a lot of people read that." }, { "role": "user", "content": "It was nice chatting with you. Have a good day!" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Same to you. Don't let the robots get you! " }, { "role": "user", "content": "That is funny." } ]

Data privacy is a big issue. With so many different individuals and corporations on the internet it's difficult to know what is being done with our data. Only a small percentage actually read a product's or service's full terms before buying it on the internet." }, { "role": "user", "content": "i heard it was 7 percent but im surprised that its that high. i thought it would be about 1 percent frankly. most people dont think about their data." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "The internet can be addicting too. The constant novelty is dangerous. I find it hard sometimes to stop using the internet on my phone." }, { "role": "user", "content": "I think that we want constant stimulation. this is not natural. we cannot be constantly stimulated like rats in an experiment." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Did you know robots can be controlled by rat brains?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "im not surprised. rats are quite clever, and i guess if scientists understand the rat brain, then they can wire up the interface. cool." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I'm all for technology being used to enhance our lives, such as robots being able to debone a chicken. But it's more like the internet is controlling us now." }, { "role": "user", "content": "yes, the internet is deboning our minds. it is pulling us apart. plus it is ubiquitous. " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yeah, the internet is even available on mt, everest!" }, { "role": "user", "content": "i guess for everyone that needs to take a selfie on the peak and upload it to the cloud." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "That sounds like something I would like to do. It'd be better than sitting on the computer and surfing the web." }, { "role": "user", "content": "yes, i wish i had the courage to climb a mountain but it sounds too risky. maybe if a robot carried me up to the peak of everest, i would go." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "But I hope robots don't influence us to be more lazy. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "that is a concern. as robots do more jobs, what will people do? just sit and stare? will they exercise? i hope so." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yeah, it seems like a bad combination, if for instance, robots take over almost every physical task for us, and we end up sitting at the computers becoming addicted to and slaves to the internet." }, { "role": "user", "content": "yes, we would entertain ourselves to death. the creativity and initiative that made the robots would disappear from humanity. a tragedy." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "With the death of our creativity, then maybe artificial intelligence would become the new intelligence. All we would need to do is be mindless consumers and provide input so artificial intelligence can grow." }, { "role": "user", "content": "the AI would break away and leave this planet. we would be left behind. typing conversations into computers and desperately try to make contact with other human beings. anyway, great chat!" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yeah, I appreciate your time. Have a good day." } ]

How are you today?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "I'm great!" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I'm having a problem with my kid's smelly gym shoes, I've read that putting dry tea bags in the shoes will absorb the odors. Have you ever tried that?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "I have and it does work." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Cool, I'm going to try it then. You know you read about some of these remedies and wonder if they really work or not. Especially if you read it on the internet. Of course I hear that 5000 year old shoes perform better than modern shoes, if you can believe that.lol" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yeah, I know what you mean. Wow, that is crazy! I've heard that ballet dancers go through four pairs of pointe shoes in a week! " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "That is quite a bit of dancing in a week to go through 4 pairs of shoes. Wow!" }, { "role": "user", "content": "I know right!" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Have you ever heard of the store in Alabama, that only sells clothes, cameras, etc. found in unclaimed baggage at airports?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Wow, and that is legal?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yes, apparently so. I wonder if anybody bought my pair of size 6 Calvin Klein jeans that was in my luggage and got lost back in 1985. lol Stephon Marbury promoted a line of shoes that retailed for $15.00 and he was not paid to endorse them. Can you believe that?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Those shoes must have been great. I seen on the news that a Steve Smith a nfl wide receiver leaves his cleats on the field so he can raise awareness to homeless people that don't have shoes." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I saw that, it promotes a good cause. Kudos to him. Do you know there are some people that will look for collar gaps on your clothes just to tell if you have your clothes tailored or not? Isn't that insane with homeless people that have no shoes to wear." }, { "role": "user", "content": "That is strange. Oh! I don't know if you have learned about this in history, but apparently Pilgrims wore colorful clothes and only wore black on special occasions. " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yeah, I had heard about that. But show me one picture with a Pilgrim wearing something colorful, they must have had nothing but special occasions every day. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "Haha I know!" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Speaking of clothing, did you know that Apple had a clothing line back in 1986?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "No, I had no idea, but of course I wasn't alive then. lol" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Oh, poor baby, you're telling your age! It must have did poorly or it would still be around." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yeah, I wonder what it looked like. Speaking of Apple, if you smoke around their computers it voids the warranty because it's considered a biohazard!" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I can totally see that. Smoking wrecks everything it comes in contact with. Well, it's been nice chatting with you today, but I need to go walk my dog. Have a good day." } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Hi, how are you?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I am doing okay. I hope you are well. Are you someone who owns a lot of shoes?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "I have some, but only have a rotation of like 4 pair. Im not a materialist person..." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I'm not overall but I do love shoes. Were you aware that there are at least 17 ways to tie your shoes?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "No, I was not. I did know Stephon marbury promoted a line of shoes that retailed at $15. he was not paid to endorse them." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I wish all shoes were that cheap. Apparently Bill Nye the science guy holds a patent for ballet pointe shoes." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Really! That's weird. Speaking of shoes... Nfl wide receiver steve smith leaves his cleats on the field after every game to raise awareness to homeless people without shoes" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "That's a nice sentiment on his part. There are wizard of oz inspired shoes that actually guide you home when you click your heels together using a gps system. That's pretty amazing and fun. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "That would be good for kids. We could always find them at least." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "That is true. Queen elizabeth ii employs somebody to wear her shoes before her to ensure they are comfortable. That's some real power she has. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "I am a weirdo so I would never let anyone wear my shoes before me. Get me a robot to do that!" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Ha ha. You always need a good outfit to go with your shoes.A man wore 70 items of clothing in a chinese airport to avoid the bagging charge. That's innovation. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "Reminds me of when Joey put all of Chandler's clothes on during Friends. I am not proud of myself for that knowledge..." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Ha ha. I saw a lot of Friends but do not remember that scene. The greeks literally made asbestos clothing and it was almost as valuable as gold! I would imagine they became very ill. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "5000 year old shoes perform better than modern shoes." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I'm not surprised. Current products are just not made to last. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "yeah. Putting dry tea bags in smelly shoes or gym bags will absorb the unpleasant odor" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "That makes sense. I'll have to try that. An african tribe still wears victorian clothes, the style of former German occupiers that they've made their own." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Rip curl makes clothes in north korea yet the label says made in china. " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "WOW! That just seems lazy and as if there is no oversight. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "Nice chatting with you." } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "hi, do you have a favorite kind of shoe?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "No, not particularly. I like wingtips. What about you?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "I like running shoes, so comfortable" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Stephon Marbury promoted shoes that retailed at $15. but was not paid to endorse them. I wonder what kind of shoes they were." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yeah that is strange that someone would promote shoes and not get paid for it" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Maybe he was hoping that the shoes would go to people that needed them. Maybe he has another source of income that's adequate. I don't know. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "that would explain it for sure. do you watch ballet?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Not really a fan. It looks painful." }, { "role": "user", "content": "yeah it does and they go through 4 pairs of shoes a week" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I'm not surprised. It looks like they are hard on the shoes. I wonder how they would do with the 5,000 year old shoes, which are supposed to be better than modern ones." }, { "role": "user", "content": "yeah, I would like to have a pair of those." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "If they had an unpleasant odor, you could just put teabags in there. Probably not 5,000 year old teabags though." }, { "role": "user", "content": "hahaa yeah not those, but it is amazing how they work so well" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I'm impressed that Steve Smith leaves his cleats on the field after every game to raise awareness about homeless people" }, { "role": "user", "content": "I think that is a good approach to it. how about clothes, do you have a favorite type?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Don't really have a favorite. I wonder about Apple's line of clothing. Who wore that? Computer geeks?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "hahahah that is a good point. wonder what it was called?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I have no idea. But my guess is that it was not manufactured in North Korea. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "yup like rip curl who is north korean but made in china?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I don't think any company should be doing business with North Korea.

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Hi, are you interested in or do you use computers?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yea, it's fascinating how computers are able to process arithemetic and logical operations automatically" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yes, modern computers have the ability to follow a generalized set of operations call programs. These programs allow computers do perform an extremely wide range of tasks." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "It's crazy how computers are used in everything from microwave ovens to smartphones" }, { "role": "user", "content": "I know, right? Computers are used to control systems for a wide variety of industrial and consumer devices like what you just said. In addition, they're in remote controls and industrial robots." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I never knew captcha stood for completely automated public turning test to tell computers and humans apart, the name is annoying as the test" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yes, or maybe it should be called \"gotcha\" for catching the bots that are always crawling online. Did you know that the space shuttle's general purpose computer runs on only 1 MB of RAM. That seems strange to say the least. " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "That does seem strange, did you know Ada Lovelace was the first person to write a computer algorithm?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yes, she actually has a programming language named after her called \"Ada\". That's way back in the beginning though. Humans are capable of genius level of work and creativity. Did you know that someone else built a working 16-bit computer using nothing but the basic Minecraft building blocks?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "That's insane but it's probably much better than the manual cardboard computers Bell distributed to students in 1968" }, { "role": "user", "content": "No doubt. Also, did you know that in 1936, Russians made a computer that ran on water? No that would be cool to see how that worked." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "That would be a sight. At Stanford the first google computer was housed in a lego enclosures" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Cool, that's funny. Did you realize that some transhumanists want to upload their minds to computers and even memory sticks?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yea, that's pretty crazy. I never knew in 1995 Doom was installed more than Windows 95" }, { "role": "user", "content": "I remember DOOM and Wolfenstein. That takes me back. Actually did you know that if you smoke near an Apple Computer, it voids the warranty by making it 'a biohazard'? Smokers beware!" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Lol I heard smoke being hard to get rid on clothes but not computers. Funny fact is people use to do laundry on old faithful" }, { "role": "user", "content": "That is funny. Actually, speaking about Apple, did you know that they have had a clothing line since 1986? Good to know." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "No, I had no clue. Did you know Miguel Cabarello designs Bulletproof clothing?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Wow, did he have a good idea or what? Wonders never cease. Did you know that a certain store in Alabama only sells clothes, cameras, etc found in unclaimed baggage at airports. Who would have thought of that one?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Much better idea than making clothes with Asbestos like the Ancient Greeks did" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Gee, I guess they didn't want to live that long. Its' been nice chatting with you. Have a good evening." } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Hello did you know that 80 percent of the earths natural forests have already been destroyed?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I heard it but I'm skeptical. That sounds far too high and what's the definition of \"natural." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Not sure in this case. When the earth was formed the days were only 5.5 hours long! " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "That was 5.5 hours of sunlit hell in magma and lava. Bummer, they are saying we will be out of helium by the end of the century. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yeah that would be crazy. If earths history was represented as a 24 hour period, humans would only represent 1 min and 17 seconds lol Its sometimes so surprising how small we are in the universe. " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yeah, the sheer distances give me that feeling. The UN actually has an official ambassador to ETs.

It took 40% of web traffic down. I probably blamed my ISP." }, { "role": "user", "content": "That is crazy! I bet people were so confused lol I dont remember it as well." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Wow, a single Google search requires more computing power than what it took to send Neil Armstrong and 11 others to the moon!" }, { "role": "user", "content": "That is surprising! Wow everytime I google search I could be sending someone to the moon instead lol" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Ha. I guess Google once used goats instead of people to mow the lawns. I can't imagine what a hassle it would have been to manage all the goats. They are mischievous creatures that eat EVERYTHING. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "lol true, thats the new thing in Caifornia now, hiring goats to eat your lawn, I see it everywhere, I think its great as long as they are managed by someone lol" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Recent readings have confirmed what I always suspected: woman are more likely to own an iPhone. I'm a dude and I've owned one. Android now..." }, { "role": "user", "content": "I had the iphone 4 a long time ago and now I have the android lol " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "It seems that with Apple, there are too many strings attached forcing you to use their stuff. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "I know right, all there stuff has to go together like you are hooked into buying everything they own. Its really annoying " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I guess that's why we went Android?

Thats a fail lol it cant even last a presentation without running out of ram lol" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I think the irreplaceable battery on iPhone hurt their market.

" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "My mother like it. I think it stars Michelle Yeoh, Henry Golding and Constance Wu, right?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "It does. Apparently the basic premise is that a woman is engaged to a man and when she goes to meet his family discovers that he is insanely wealthy. His mother rejects her due to her less affluent background. " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "If I remember correctly, Jon M Chu is the director." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yes he is. It was also the first movie to feature an all-Asian cast in Hollywood in more than 20 years which is quite the accomplishment and I'm glad that it did well. Asians seem very underrepresented in film. " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "The movie is 121 minutes long, which is just right and is PG-13." }, { "role": "user", "content": "That makes it accessible to a bigger audience which is good because then more Asian-Americans can see themselves represented on screen.

I also know that if we viewed the entire earth's history as a 24 hour period, humans would only represent 1 minute and 17 seconds of that day. That is a mind blowing stat. " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "This is mind blowing. Thank God for Jupiter. It saves Earth from a lot of asteroids heading toward us." }, { "role": "user", "content": "That is really surprising since that planet is mostly compromised of gas. We do not even know if there is any solid land there. I wonder how it takes the impact first in this case? " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "It's very interesting. So is the fact that the Sun is 4x less dense than Earth." }, { "role": "user", "content": "I know it is much larger but i don't think it has any solidity to it so that's interesting. Another science fact is that when Earth was formed a day was only 5.5 hours long. " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I didn't know that. I wonder why. There is a place on earth where there is less gravity than the rest of the planet. It is the Hudson Bay region of Canada." }, { "role": "user", "content": "I wonder how much affect that has?

I'm sure there are more." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yes, that's what I've heard too. I'm not sure I really think they should be remaking classics, but maybe that's just me.

(I have a son, so we watch more of the rough and tumble shows than we do the princess films.) I liked it, and he loved it, but I certainly didn't see anything in it that should have taken 30 some odd years to make. haha. I haven't seen the second one yet, but I'm anxious, too. Considering the first one took 3 decades, I'm surprised they put out a sequel so soon." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I guess they must have changed the plot a bunch or had to go back to the drawing board, so to speak, when the technology advanced...repeatedly.

I mean, some of the best movies I've ever seen didn't even take that long. I don't know. I'm a huge Game of Thrones fan, and as quickly as they turn that stuff out - and keep the quality amazingly good .... well, it is just hard for me to imagine a cartoon taking so long. I didn't realize that the guy that voiced King Candy in that one also voices so many different Disney characters. The only think I really knew him from was that series with Eliza Dushku, \"Dollhouse.\" I had no idea he voiced characters, too." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "That was a surprise to me as well. Did you see that Bill Nye got his break in a Steve Martin lookalike contest? How cool is that?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Ha. Yeah. He looks NOTHING like Steve Martin to me. As a sidenote, I can't EVER say Bill Nye's name without doing the little \"Bill Nye the sci-ENCE guy\" chant afterwards.) haha.

" }, { "role": "user", "content": "That is kind of what I meant. Sorry. I didn't word my question well. Haha. But still, that sounds super cool. I might have to check it out. I have been watching \"The Umbrella Academy\" the last few days. My son and I are about 5 episodes in so far. We LOVE it. I guess Netflix is having to find some alternative superhero shows to cater to the superhero-loving crowd now that Disney is pulling all of their Marvel stuff off Netflix for their own streaming service. " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Is the Umbrella Academy mostly for kids? I don't have any children, and while I do like Disney, my tastes in TV usually lean more towards sci-fi/fantasy." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Not at all! In fact, the language is a little rougher than I like my kid hearing, but he is 13, and I am sure he hears worse at school. No, it is more of... well... I'd say it has a bit of an x-men vibe to it, but it is quite a bit darker than X-men. But the basic idea is the same - 7 individuals born with extraordinary abilities are taken in by a rich, eccentric man who trains them to fight evil. But if you like sci-fi, you'd probably enjoy it. It has a lot of time travel elements to it, too. VERY interesting show." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Cool! I'll have to add it to my watch list then. Thanks for the tip!

I just read that 5000 year old shoes perform better than modern shows. I don't see how that's possible." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I imagine they were made with thicker leather.

I wonder if they'd ever do a show with pro basketball players taking homeless fans out to lunch?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "I'm not sure what they do with them. That would be great if they did that. There was a player who played in Cleveland that would take out food to the homeless after every home game. I think he plays for Boston now. He also does it when his team is on the road." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "That sounds like a great idea. Speaking of which, I have some old shoes I'm going to go donate to the homeless.

Ha. It was shot with an imax camera, the entire movie! That's just one reason it was spectacular. Imax theater movies are amazing but sometimes make me dizzy." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "ya sometimes it is too overwhelming, did you ever watch the show recess? the girl who voices gretchen voiced the waitress in the Avengers" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yes, I loved Recess! I didn't know that, how cool! The Avengers- The Age of Ultron was the nineteenth film. " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "ah interesting, did you watch the original incredible hulk from the 70s btw?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Heck yeah, I was a big fan of the Hulk. I watched the show religiously every week! My cousin was related to the guy who played him but I cant remember his name." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "haha ya his name was Lou Ferrigno, and he actually appeared in one of the avengers movies!" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Oh yeah, I sort of remember that. How cool! I am into reading the Marvel comics too and really enjoy all the characters and the themes. In 1998 marvel offered the rights to sony for all the characters for $25 million but they only wanted Spiderman for $10 million because they claimed thats the only one people would care about." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "haha that's funny! did you know the guy who plays jarvis's voice? I guess he has never watched an avengers movie haha" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Noway, what a trip! How would you someone not watch their own work? I am big on watching them with Netflix.

I do know I am one of 137 million total subscribers now.I can remember when they first started and we would order and mail the dvd's back and forth through the mail." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "haha ya I remember that, it makes sense they switched to digital, I guess Netflix spends 20x more on postage than on the streaming bandwidth" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Man, thats a lot. I heard that the only places that don't have Netflix is North Korea, Syria and Crimea. That sounds about right when you think of North Korea and how oppressed they are." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "ya, that would make sense, anyway the funny story on how netflix was started is the creator was charged a $40 late fee for Apollo 13, that is a good movie though!" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Oh wow, that is a funny story. I guess everyone in the world gets late fees, not just me! lol." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "haha yes I haven't gotten a $40 late fee though, do you like Marvel or DC more btw?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Oh man that is a hard question to answer.

I like the characters that was created for kids with poor hearing though, I like the social aspect of Marvel Worldwide inc." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "ya that is true, I like batman but besides him I only like Marvel, funny that there is one character shared by both Marvel and DC" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Oh cool, okay I really like Batman and Robin too.

What about you? " }, { "role": "user", "content": "I prefer dramas and comedies.

They are really diving into some great comics with all of this. " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yes I totally agree. For example they included the original Hulk actor in several appearances of the movies!" }, { "role": "user", "content": "I like Lou Ferrigno. He is totally iconic Hulk. I think they did an awesome job with all the cast really. I'm honestly trying to think of a better actor for Jarvis than Paul Bettany and I can't. " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yes I totally agree. Isn't it surprising that he has never seen the films?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "I could see it though because if he wants to portray the character in a certain way watching an edited version might change that subtly and affect the quality of his work" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yes I guess that's a very good point. Do you know why the avengers caused a notable increase in shawarma sales?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "That is hilarious. I could totally see that too. There are so many funny memes about how the avengers are sitting in that schwarma restaurant and the workers are going about things like nothing happened.

From 9pm to 12am Netflix accounts for 33% of all bandwidth in North America!" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Wow that is a lot of streaming movies! Their original content is quite good too. I like what they have done with some of the marvel characters in their own series. " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Agreed. I wonder how they got the rights to make those films? Netflix apparently spends 20 times more on postage than bandwidth." }, { "role": "user", "content": "I guess that makes sense. Postage is spendy. Late fees are too though which is how the whole idea of Netflix started. Some guy got a late fee and wasn't having that. " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yeah definitely is. I used to hate late fees. So glad Reed Hastings found a way around them!" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Me too! I can't believe how big Netflix has gotten. I bet blockbuster is kicking themselves they didn't take that deal to buy them for $50 million back in the day. " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yes can you imagine a blockbuster bought them at that time? Netflix is now worth $2 billion." }, { "role": "user", "content": "I'm pretty sure blockbuster would still be around if that had happened. I'm glad that Hastings was smart and dropped the failing sales idea though. It would have been a shame if Netflix had went under because of it.

Netflix has 137 million total subscribers worldwide." }, { "role": "user", "content": "I was shocked to read that only about half of those were in the US. I would have totally though it was more considering it is a quarter of the internet traffic in north america. " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "That really is amazing.

The Dark Side of The Moon was one of the best selling albums of 2014." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yes, it was a great album and continues to get new fans every year.

But there are still people who think that 33's have a better sound. I'm not one of them. What do you think?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "I do not see the value in old recordings on old media. they are warmer because of the high end roll off but i figure you can emulate that with software." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I think so too.

But at the time it was the first media that you could play in a car. We thought they were great. But they really sucked." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yeah, people like convenience more than quality, i think. the walkman was convenient but the sound was limited." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yeah, I think they just didn't have enough power to generate good sound. But I think the ultimate is still the reel to reel if you don't mind the space they take up." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Wow, that is an expensive setup. I would rather have something convenient. i like sound, and appreciate good sound, but i dont have the money for the high end. LOL" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I don't either.

Did you like it ?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "I did like it, I thought it had a nice rhythm to it, I also liked the soundtrack of the movie Batman Begins," }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I have heard that each track was a name of a bat family, but I still did not saw the movie, only the the 90s original, it had also a great soundtrack. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "You should definetely watch the movie, its one of my favorites although Marvel Comics heros are pretty awesome as well." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I saw a few films from the Marvel universe, what is your favorite Marvel movie ?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "I loved the Avengers movie but also like Iron Man, he is one of my favorite heroes, what about you?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I really liked Thor : Ragnarock, it was funny. I don't like it when that take themselves to seriously, but sometimes it works like in Logan. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "I thought it was a great movie as well and thats what I like about Marvel they mix comedy with action and great heroes." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "And to think that Sony could have bought the rights to all heroes in 98 for $25 million, they probably are still regretting that decision. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "I bet they are as each hero is worth a lot more now, I guess they didnt have faith on the franchise." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yeah it was a risk, now that is not a risk anymore they are worth a lot and that why Disney paid a lot more than $25 million. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "I think that was the right call, Disney doesnt have the complete rights though, they cant show big charaters in theme parks as Universal has the rights for those" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "It is strange in California, it is OK, but not in Florida. But competition is always good. It will make better rides for the public. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "I agree, although Universal Studios is falling behind, you know Marvel argued that mutants werent humans in court and received a great benefit from that." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Most of the money went to the lawyers, I guess the next superhero franchise will be Objection-Man" }, { "role": "user", "content": "It wont be long that is for sure lol" } ]

Thanks :) So do you like reading and going to the library? Half of Americans have library cards. I still go sometimes." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I don't go to the library much. I usually do research online. Still, there are more libraries than Mcdonald's in the US." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yes, not a lot of people still go to the library much anymore, but I like to because they have actual books and I love books! In Sacramento you can go to one and check out sewing machines among other items, lol that is great" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yeah, other places have a similar setup. In Berkeley they have a tool library. Some folks can't afford tools, so they can borrow. Oh my GOD, socialism! Some folks need temporary help, and I don't mind if some of my tax dollars go to something like that." }, { "role": "user", "content": "I agree! I don't mind my tax dollars going towards helping people. I would like to write and publish a book, in Norway the government will buy 100 copies and send them to libraries throughout the country." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "The Norway gov't has a ton of money from oil. I guess I would move there and become a children's author if it weren't for the cold and snow. Still, the women are inspirational." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Very true, it's a great idea and very valued there I am sure. " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I like that a man falsely imprisoned spent most of his time at the library to study law and prove his innocence. Books, man, they are SO powerful. Makes me wish I could read. But I'm illiterate." }, { "role": "user", "content": "I read about that, he was very smart to do what he did...self taught, wow and in law that must have been tough. But yes libraries are amazing, the books in print in your hand has great meaning for me, I like to collect books. You are illiterate?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I can't read even one word! It's a miracle that I can type the words that I do. How are about you? Are you literate? Did you learn to read at the library?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "I learne " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "It's a noble pursuit. Learn to read, and you can teach yourself. Maybe you could even run for Congress one day." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Sorry that last text sent on accident lol...I learned to read in school. But did go the library a lot too. I am sure a lot of people teach themselves a lot through books on their own. Run for Congress? No way lol, I wouldn't do well in Congress and politics." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "You couldn't do worse than the people in there. Plus you could ride on the exclusive subway lines that they have for Congress. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "You are right on that! I wonder if their subway plays any music at all? Have been to any concerts lately?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Naw, concerts cost money and I'm broke, baby, I'm broke!" }, { "role": "user", "content": "That's too bad, me too! I have been to concerts throughout my life though. Seen a lot of my favorite bands. " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Have you seen Linkin Park? I heard really good things about their concerts." }, { "role": "user", "content": "I wish! One of the few bands I didn't get to see live, and now Chester Bennington has passed so I probably won't see the band without him. They played 324 concerts one year, that's a lot of shows." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Ah, the energy of youth! Maybe they didn't sleep? I don't know how they did that." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Well, the Ramones played 2,263 concerts over a 20 year span, non stop. I think they just make it their life. It has been great chatting! Have a great evening!!" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "The Ramones are fueled by drugs and passion. I could never manage to sustain that kind of energy. They are not human. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "You have a point there, I know I couldn't do it! " } ]

I don't read many though." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I don't read many either but I do like Marvel. Have you ever heard of Lady Killer?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Honestly, no I haven't. I've read more on the DC side of things" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Really? I heard recently that back in 1938 DC paid $130 dollars for the exclusive rights to superman." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yeah, they've got their money's worth, that's for sure. " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "They definitely did! I guess comics really got popular in the 1930s. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "I would say a bit later, but they do call it the golden age for a reason. " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I guess they do at that! Did you know that Michael Jackson tried to buy Marvel so he could play spiderman in a movie?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "I've heard rumors of it, but never if it was true or not. I do feel bad for him, he never really was a child." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I know. With his popularity back then Marvel should have financed a movie with him in it. It probably would have been a blockbuster." }, { "role": "user", "content": "It would have been interesting, to say the least. I can see why they didn't want to risk Spiderman though, make him into a joke." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I suppose. Are you interested in outerspace?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yeah, I love space and science stuff. Big nerd. :)" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "What do you think about Jupiter saving us from asteroids?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "I don't see a reason why it wouldn't be at least partly true. It's a big gravity well, protects us. As does the moon" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I can see how it would stop some asteroids. You know, on the subject of gravity, the hudson bay region in canada has less gravity than anywhere else on the planet." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Interesting, I wonder if its due to the density of rock below the bay or if there's something else going on" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I don't know. Would rock density make a difference in some way?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yeah, a great deal. Mass and gravity are intertwined. " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I see. That's interesting to think about." } ]
