Feel free to continue asking me things if you see this, I will continue answering as long as they come because I think it’s a lot of fun.
Did noone ask what Linux distro you are on?
Nobody has yet! I’ve only been getting into Linux quite recently, I have a Microsoft surface laptop studio that I’d like to put Linux Mint on, but I’ve been a little scared of pulling the trigger so I haven’t yet :(. I did just get an old desktop pc from my dad because he replaced it, I was gonna put Mint on that but it was having some kind of issue with the bios, I ended up putting Kubuntu on it.
But jokes aside, it’s cool that you are trying to make the jump, just stay on Ubuntu until you are familiar enough with Linux to make another jump to a better distro.
Have you considered buying an LNG tanker?

How’s 2025 so far?
Pretty good! How about yourself?
It has been pretty alright. Although I have a feeling something will ruin the year later on. I’ve had this feeling for a long time.
You have foreseen it?
Most likely. Since 2013, I’ve always had the feeling of the year basically getting ruined by the end of it. Pessimistic thoughts have really invaded my brain around this time.
And even though I feel it, I hope it doesn’t happen in 2025.
Oh so you weren’t necessarily thinking 2025 specifically?
No.
Asl?
As in American Sign Language?
Age/Sex/Location, it’s a relic from ye olde internet

Three questions.
What do you want from life and are you on track to achieve it?
What are your thoughts on this song Here.
Do you like Frederic Chopin?
I’d love to be monetized on YouTube, I’m about a third of the way there
That song was pretty good! I liked it. I’ve never heard on Ren but he seems like a cool guy.
Yes
That’s cool. What’s your channel I’d like to take a look.
Glad you enjoyed the song and that you also appreciate Frederic Chopin.
Thanks for introducing me to that song. I love it!
Glad you liked it. He has some cool songs and a lot of them are very different.
I’d prefer Frederic Cookin.
What’s your strongest opinion you changed recently?
I grew up my whole life thinking that I just wouldn’t vote in the election when I could because it just didn’t matter and wasn’t that important . This past one was the first one I was old enough to and boy has my opinion on that changed.
What music do you like? Also, are you happy?
I’m pretty open to any and all music but my favorite genres are rap and hip hop, ex the roots, Tyler the Creator etc, jazz, rock and a bunch of its subgenres, and yeah just a bunch of other stuff. And I do think I’m pretty happy with my life right now. 2025 is off to a pretty great start.
What does being a person mean to you? Could a sufficiently advanced AI become a person and if so, at what point would it become a person that deserves to be treated the same a human? If a machine can be a person, would it be plausible for a person to become a machine? For example, with transhumanism being possible, would a human that has ship of theseus’d with machine components instead of biological components become a machine instead of a person?
I think the root of being human comes down to the struggles we all face day to day, and overcoming them, moving on, and learning from them. That’s what shapes everybody, their personalities, their strengths and flaws, everything. Everybody’s life story is just a series of struggles and triumphs, many different learning experiences.
Whether or not an AI could become a person is an interesting thought. With the current state of AI I think it’s a definite no. But, I don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes. The idea of AI being able to actually move on and learn from things seems completely out of the question to me but so did AI doing what it does now just a few years ago.
I’m thinking about the book that was recently turned into a movie “the wild robot”. It’s about a robot named Roz that becomes the mother to an orphaned Duckling who she names Brightbill. I think that I’d argue that she’s a person but that’s not real, she was written by real human people so of course she has very human traits. (Incredible movie and book by the way it made me cry a lot)
I’m not sure if AI will ever get to that point but if it did I guess that’s where I’d draw the line of humanity, and I guess that would count. But I also think that what makes people “people” is very subjective, and I don’t think there’s really any wrong answer. Maybe I’m wrong but that’s just what I think.
As for that last part of your question, people becoming machines, I don’t even know how to answer that. I think it again just comes down to how advanced AI would be in the situation.
I like your answer a lot
Have you tried cocaine yet?
Nope
Good don’t.
Don’t bother, much better / safer drugs to try if you’re that way inclined.
I wasn’t really planning on it lol, if I were to try anything I definitely wouldn’t start with that for sure.
You may or may not like this movie.

Chestburster I think
did you ever find bugs bunny attractive when he put on a dress and played girl bunny?
Maybe just a little
What about Minerva Minx, or Gadget when she put on that red dress and made her voice all sultry, or any other similar characters?
Yeah they’re kinda hot icl
Maid Marian or Robin Hood as foxes? Are we just trying to make you a furry or
it does appear that the furry allegations are building
I don’t think you need to be furry to appreciate this, but it certainly doesn’t help .
owo
Neither did I, I was just asking…
Yea
