| Starrk | I`m watching a documentary of transhumanism by Frank Theys. | 08:33 |
|---|---|---|
| Starrk | Someone here told me that the guy who made it regretted doing so. | 08:33 |
| Starrk | I think I can see why. He let both sides speak, and those conspiracy theories probably get people really riled up with all that fearmongering. | 08:34 |
| Starrk | And some people interviewed there seem a bit shady. One guy did a long talk about how he does drugs. | 09:11 |

| strangewarp | Starrk: Yeah, sadly some of the more out-there transhumanists are weird conspiracy theorists and aura-reader types, and not the self-aware doing-it-for-art kind either. | 09:20 |
| SDr | that's alright. Transhumanism would have to work really hard to gain even more notoriety, than it already has | 09:21 |
| SDr | it's, like, AI: the first thing a discipline spinning off from TH R&D does, is to rename itself to NOT TH. | 09:22 |
| Starrk | Mmm... | 09:22 |
| Starrk | What do you guys say about Aubrey de Grey? | 09:22 |
| SDr | commendable goals, relatively good marketing (despite presentation), and, oh, about no demonstrable effects that I know of. | 09:23 |
| strangewarp | My assessment is about the same as SDr's | 09:24 |
| delinquentme | SDr aubrey is basically out there to fight people and start the bug | 09:24 |
| SDr | which is bad for them, for they won't get a line in my donation list. | 09:24 |
| delinquentme | as soon as people snap out of this BS " i want to die" shit | 09:24 |
| delinquentme | theyll then start taking responsibility for what they're capable of | 09:24 |
| SDr | delinquentme, I'm well aware of that. | 09:24 |
| delinquentme | an idea is a very powerful thing | 09:25 |
| delinquentme | not to mention the way he went about it | 09:25 |
| delinquentme | pissing people off .. then getting those detractors to stick foot in mouth | 09:25 |
| delinquentme | inspiring. | 09:25 |
| delinquentme | just saying ... but in 1000 years .. do you think people will still be living to 80? | 09:27 |
| Starrk | Ofcourse not. | 09:27 |
| delinquentme | bingo. | 09:28 |
| delinquentme | so tell me then | 09:28 |
| delinquentme | what is more important to you .. at this very moment | 09:28 |
| delinquentme | than keeping your ass alive | 09:29 |
| Starrk | Perhaps I`m selfish but I`m having trouble thinking of anything like that. | 09:29 |
| Starrk | Ofcourse I could say "saving a million people" but that is neither something I can put in practice, nor would I be honest in saying so. | 09:30 |
| delinquentme | Starrk, ? you're selfish .. b ut you dont want to save your ass? | 09:31 |
| Starrk | I want to live, never said I didn`t. | 09:31 |
| delinquentme | ah ok | 09:32 |
| delinquentme | Starrk, what do you "do "? | 09:32 |
| Starrk | I`m a 12th grade student. | 09:32 |
| delinquentme | do you program? | 09:33 |
| delinquentme | you should. | 09:33 |
| Starrk | No. | 09:33 |
| delinquentme | do you have a cellphone :D | 09:33 |
| delinquentme | ever use a computer? | 09:33 |
| Starrk | If I didn`t use one, I wouldn`t be here. | 09:33 |
| delinquentme | there u go | 09:34 |
| delinquentme | im schemeing up ways to get my little brother into engineering | 09:34 |
| delinquentme | quadcopters = titties | 09:34 |

| eudoxia | Didn't Aubrey achieve fame when some repoter walked into a bar and saw his beard and was all like "I've got to interview this man" | 09:45 |
| Starrk | If that`s all you need, I`m going to grow a beard, too. | 09:47 |

| strangewarp | I do artsy things (which I'm good at) instead of engineering things (which I'm awful with), which is a bit inexcusable, but I'm enough of a hedonist to not mind. So I'm toying with synthesizers. whee! | 14:45 |

| QuantumG | death of a tyrant? I'll be over here rejoicing. | 16:50 |
| QuantumG | "It's weird to be stirred by something like this. That said, he is more responsible than anyone else for how I view technology." <- example of how much damage he's done to the world. | 16:51 |
| CryptoQuick | heh | 16:52 |
| CryptoQuick | he was magical, amazing | 16:52 |

| eudoxia | who cares about jobs they cracked femtotechnology http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/10/femtotechnology-ab-needles-fantastic.html | 17:04 |
| eudoxia | I WANT TO BELIEVE | 17:04 |
| kanzure | unfortunately jobs is more powerful when dead | 17:06 |
| kanzure | if he left any sort of video product announcement people will eat it up 20x moer | 17:06 |

| joshcryer | Nobody has ever had more contempt for customers than Mr. Jobs. Nobody. - Moglen | 17:58 |
| eudoxia | oh god they'll make a movie about him | 18:01 |
| eudoxia | like with michael jackson | 18:01 |
| kanzure | yep :/ | 18:01 |
| eudoxia | he's probably alive, out there, laughing | 18:02 |
| eudoxia | scheming | 18:02 |
| klafka | hey | 18:02 |
| kanzure | eudoxia: "return from the dead" is a fantastic marketing approach | 18:02 |
| kanzure | the second coming | 18:03 |
| jrayhawk | Um, Jobs is highly empowering to the sorts of customers who actually buy Apple products. That's sort of the point. | 18:03 |
| klafka | jobs was a pretty excellent ceo | 18:03 |
| klafka | and good at seizing upon the marketability of other people's ideas | 18:03 |
| jrayhawk | We have a generation of people trained to resent choice, and Jobs has been quite good at presenting extremely narrow decision trees for them to progress down that they normally wouldn't have bothered with. | 18:04 |
| -!- augur_ [~augur@216-164-57-20.c3-0.slvr-ubr1.lnh-slvr.md.cable.rcn.com] has joined ##hplusroadmap | 18:04 | |

| jrayhawk | But blaming Jobs for the existence of his customer base is ludicrous, and it's very disappointing to see Moglen start to adopt Stallman's inability to acknowledge the mere existence of value systems other than his own. | 18:09 |
| jrayhawk | As if that makes his arguments more compelling. | 18:09 |
| klafka | haha | 18:09 |
| QuantumG | the customers didn't exist for Steve's products.. he MADE those customers | 18:09 |
| jrayhawk | With, like, genetic engineering? Man, you guys are way behind! | 18:10 |
| eudoxia | No, of course not | 18:10 |
| jrayhawk | Kanzure: WE COULD BE RICH | 18:10 |
| jrayhawk | oh | 18:10 |
| eudoxia | He conjured them out of the luminiferous aether | 18:10 |
| eudoxia | Get with the times man | 18:10 |
| joshcryer | jrayhawk, Moglen said that years ago. | 18:11 |
| joshcryer | He was pissed that Apple wouldn't let you boot via USB. | 18:11 |
| joshcryer | Not sure if you still can't... | 18:11 |
| joshcryer | s/pissed/annoyed | 18:11 |
| klafka | i've certianly had problems with it | 18:11 |
| jrayhawk | I think it's still screwy as hell due to Apple's very very imcomplete EFI implementation. | 18:12 |
| jrayhawk | incomplete | 18:12 |
| jrayhawk | Matthew Garrett has some blog posts about it. | 18:12 |
| joshcryer | This is the speech it's from (search "contempt") for context: http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Free_and_Open_Software:_Paradigm_for_a_New_Intellectual_Commons | 18:13 |
| QuantumG | I don't think there's anything wrong with telling customers what they want.. right up until the moment they say "that's not what I want" | 18:14 |
| klafka | i don't get it, if they don't want that then they go elsewhere | 18:15 |
| klafka | design is about the designer making choices | 18:15 |
| joshcryer | And then they give you a protective case to fix it. | 18:16 |
| QuantumG | and they do.. in droves | 18:16 |
| klafka | that's why OSS guis often suck, because they aren't made by designers, they are made by hackers who think 'let's give everyone as much choice as they want' | 18:16 |
| QuantumG | I'm continually baffled by the fanbois who think Apple is a great success | 18:17 |
| joshcryer | Heh. | 18:17 |
| jrayhawk | uh, well, hundreds of billions of dollars might have something to do with that | 18:17 |
| joshcryer | I'm baffled by that statement, QuantumG. | 18:17 |
| jrayhawk | you may be a bigger believer in ideas than economy, but the economy is still worth something | 18:18 |
| QuantumG | every product release there's more complaints than cheers, with the hard core fans claiming that the latest unwanted gadget is the second coming. | 18:18 |
| klafka | QuantumG: i feel like you have some serious selection bias | 18:18 |
| joshcryer | They're 8th in profits in the world. | 18:18 |
| klafka | they're the largest company in the US | 18:18 |
| klafka | (market valuation) | 18:18 |
| klafka | or is it nasdaq? | 18:18 |
| klafka | . | 18:19 |
| klafka | they also rate highest in customer satisfaction | 18:19 |
| klafka | http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-20108336-17/apple-tops-in-customer-satisfaction-for-8th-year/ | 18:19 |
| QuantumG | and the lowest market share IN EVERY MARKET they're in. | 18:19 |
| joshcryer | They're 2nd in smartphones (woot android). | 18:20 |
| joshcryer | So not sure how you're defining market here. | 18:20 |
| klafka | so, ferrari's are shit because they have a small market share? | 18:20 |
| klafka | or rather, not successful | 18:20 |
| QuantumG | heh, redefine the market to not include every other type of phone | 18:20 |
| QuantumG | "the smartphone market" is like 1% of the portable phone market. | 18:20 |
| joshcryer | Fair enough (and oops it wasn't android that took them over yet, remembered wrong). | 18:20 |
| jrayhawk | Ferrari has a history of financial tumult | 18:21 |
| klafka | jrayhawk: ok, porsche ? | 18:21 |
| klafka | still has a low market share relative to most other car companies | 18:21 |
| klafka | but has a bundle of cash | 18:21 |
| jrayhawk | Porsche made the single most popular car of all time...? | 18:21 |
| QuantumG | people want phones that make calls.. every new pointless feature added is .. get this .. unwanted. | 18:21 |
| joshcryer | QuantumG, that's why I asked what you meant by market, "smartphone market" is a subset of "mobile phone market" which is now a superset of "phone market." | 18:21 |
| klafka | i feel like you're trolling at this point | 18:22 |
| QuantumG | why not just say the Apple market? Apple has 100% of the Apple market! Wow, success! | 18:22 |
| joshcryer | Yeah I have a freaking $15 phone from Cricket. | 18:22 |
| joshcryer | QuantumG, heh, but then there are subsets of the Apple market, such as apps... which funnily Apple does not own 100% of. | 18:23 |
| QuantumG | don't worry, you're not the first person who has said "Apple makes products their customers want to buy!!!" | 18:23 |
| joshcryer | I do not believe I have said that. | 18:23 |
| QuantumG | was more directing it at klafka | 18:24 |
| joshcryer | Ahh... my bad. | 18:24 |
| jrayhawk | I mean, the whole market share argument is dumb, but car analogies are very hard to apply here to demonstrate that. | 18:24 |
| klafka | i don't know where I said that either? | 18:25 |
| joshcryer | To be sure their profitibilty bugs me because I am a dirty leftist like Moglen and want tech to be free, etc, etc. | 18:25 |
| klafka | are you referring to customer satisfaction? | 18:25 |
| QuantumG | hehe | 18:25 |
| klafka | which is absolutely not the question 'does apple make products that apple customers want to buy' but rather, 'does apple make products that their customers are satisfied with once they've bought them' | 18:25 |

| eudoxia | >Videogames offer us alternate universes where the player changes the reality simply by participating. This certainly has mystical underpinnings. | 18:54 |
| eudoxia | I'm being trolled and I don't even care | 18:54 |
| kanzure | just fyi QuantumG is in fact a troll | 18:55 |
| kanzure | eudoxia: "return from the dead" is a fantastic marketing approachway | 18:55 |

| kanzure | jrayhawk: "apple, like most of america, is now jobless" | 18:55 |
| kanzure | jrayhawk: "we could be RICH" who is this we, poorboy | 18:56 |
| QuantumG | kanzure: why do you do that? What justifies that claim? | 18:56 |
| kanzure | first, this claim doesn't really damage you in any way | 18:58 |
| kanzure | second, i do it because i do think your value system is trollish | 18:58 |
| QuantumG | well, it does.. perhaps you're not aware that some people attack others by using that word | 18:58 |
| QuantumG | tell us what "troll" means to you.. and we'll see if others agree with your usage. | 18:59 |
| eudoxia | It means whatever people want it to mean at the moment | 19:00 |
| eudoxia | Like "God" or "love" | 19:00 |
| joshcryer | eudoxia, Clarke gave Cryonics a 90% chance at one point, I'm not sure how his views changed on that matter. | 19:00 |
| joshcryer | Death has a way of resigning us to it. | 19:00 |

| joshcryer | Instinctual coping mechanism or something. | 19:01 |
| kanzure | QuantumG: if it makes you feel better i do not enjoy the apple fanboyism either | 19:01 |
| joshcryer | Yeah, I'm getting over the whole toxic shit of being pissed at shit that's stupid, I decided. | 19:01 |
| joshcryer | I used to bash Apple fanboys a lot. | 19:02 |
| joshcryer | I just posted the Moglen quote because I loves me some Moglen and I know I'm with friends (even if we disagree on some minor points). FREE THE TECH! | 19:02 |
| joshcryer | :P | 19:02 |
| * joshcryer afks | 19:02 | |
| QuantumG | see.. for all the usage I've seen of the term.. calling someone a troll is a coded way of saying "we should ostracise this guy", and typically the justifications come later: oh, he's just pretending to be contra to get a rise out of people, etc. | 19:03 |
| QuantumG | when it comes to Apple, I think I have been so consistent in my criticism for years and years that anyone calling me a "troll" for expressing such simply doesn't know me. You know me. | 19:04 |
| kanzure | hmm i think i was more talking about the terrence mckenna stuff | 19:04 |
| kanzure | but, the comments about ferrari aren't far off | 19:04 |
| QuantumG | ok.. all I said was that it was the more hippie version of transhumanism that I've heard.. I also said it was great work. It's a good video, but it's too mystical for my liking. | 19:05 |
| QuantumG | so if you're calling me a troll for that, I don't know what definition of "troll" you're using, and considering the coded meaning, I don't understand why you're attacking me. | 19:06 |
| kanzure | i am not attacking you but suggesting to others that your opinion (that terrence mckenna is worht recommending in this context) isn't really standard or that its contentvalue isn't worth much in this case | 19:07 |

| QuantumG | ok, well, if you say "kill that sucka" and then say "I don't actually mean shoot him" when someone asks you why, then you're responsible for the result. | 19:09 |
| QuantumG | calling me a troll and having people who respect your opinion ostracise me is something you have to take responsibility for. | 19:10 |
| QuantumG | so if you don't want people to ostracise me, or you don't want me to feel that you want people to ostracise me, then please choose another word. | 19:10 |

| jrayhawk | I'm also fairly suspicious that you have some intellectual construct that forces you to apply a binary value system to complex systems to which it is not suited. | 19:31 |
| QuantumG | dude, if you're going to outright insult me, could you at least give some accounts? | 19:32 |
| kanzure | haha where is the insult | 19:32 |
| kanzure | jrayhawk is debugging what's going on, i don't think that's an insult | 19:33 |
| jrayhawk | Actually, I've already hit the wrong side of the binary value system, so there's not much I can do here. | 19:33 |

| kanzure | he is making fun of me because i forgot how to sleep in vietnam | 19:53 |
| ybit | o.O | 19:53 |
| jrayhawk | ooh, good angle | 19:53 |
| jrayhawk | is autistism the disorder of "having too many people with autism in your life"? because if so, that probably does have some link to sleep disorders | 19:54 |
