That's kinda how I feel when I go to museums. My postmodernist homunculi start thrashing around demanding to know why I'm looking at all this useless and meaningless stuff ... drives my nihilist homunculi crrraaazy.

Re: Fascinating article on how AI is driving change in SEO, categories of AI and the Law of Accelerating Returns

I remember seeing a movie when I was in grade school about a computer that counselled citizens about their everyday challenges. In the end the computer basically commits suicide. It wasn't a mainstream movie but something (I suspect) recommended to teachers at the time (late 70s, maybe it is an older film though). Teletypes and flashing lights I think. I can't find it with Google. Anyone know what it is? I tried some obvious sci-fi authors but came up with nothing. It wasn't a particularly sci-fi movie, but more about not giving up responsibility to others, in this case a machine.

Anyway, that's a cheery tune. I would pity the sentient machine that had to read stupid human tricks on Facebook or make sense of Amazon purchasing habits and credit histories all day. Mind numbing.

The only thing I could think of was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/THX_1138 But I suppose that wasn't really a therapist so much as a manipulator.

I marvel at what others find marvelous and vice versa. When I expressed to my dad (when I was 15 maybe) that I thought his work as a tax assessor looked pretty tedious, he responded with a typical "you get what you put in" argument. His favorite saying was: "If you're bored, then you're boring." I get it intellectually ... but sheesh. Taxes? Really?

Another video of her says it's from the perspective of a database. Perhaps I'm perverse; considering the difference between an AI and a database reasoner is interesting. Going back to Marcus' point, perhaps keeping track of and reasoning over facebook posts or amazon purchasing habits would be deeply interesting to a Database, but mind-numbing to a general AI.
