    I got a new computer. It is an i5 and I am now going to be a regular user of Windows 7. :soma:

    I also am typing this as I'm moving over all my important stuff. It all fits in about 140 gigabytes of data.

    I was wondering, if you died and years in the future, they decided to re-create you as a robot, and they used all your computer files, all your messages on Facebook, Twitter, and anything you posted on the internet, do you think they would get a good representation of what you were like in RL?

    For myself, I think the robot would be a photographer due to the huge amounts of pictures I have on my hard drive. I wouldn't be a talker based on the amount of posts I post on message boards and social media compared to everyone else. Base on the pics of women I've saved on my hard drive, they would get it pretty accurate that I like Asian girls. My sense of humor and interests would be easy to see.

    However, they wouldn't know that I was a good listener, people trust me with their secrets, and though I might have a lot of friends on Facebook, I'm only really ever close to maybe 3 of them at most. They would probably also think I never go out to restaurants because I don't take pics of my food and post it on the internet. (The BBQ thread notwithstanding.)

    What about you? Would the robot be an accurate representation of who you are?

    All of my computer activity? If so, yes, they would have a very good representation of who I am.

    No, not really. There would be quite a lot that it would miss out on, even if it somehow magically picked up on the patterns of thinking and mood behind everything I posted online ( and the patterns of thinking alone would require some pretty advanced AI :naht: ). There's still a lot that I don't talk about online, plus physical behavior patterns.

    they would think I was a little brown Chihuahua. :unsure:

    pretty much everything on my computer is either schoolwork or pictures of the snacks. I don't think I even have any music on this thing. also, I don't have a facebook or twitter page or anything like that, so they'd pretty much have to go off of my posts here. yeah, that's about right.

    It would have me nailed on about 12% of who I am (or at least, who I perceive myself to be; but I'm way closer than most people on that).

    True, unless you posted videos of yourself, future people couldn't nail the mannerisms and gestures (or lack of). As for not talking about a lot online, it's the same deal with real life. Most people you aren't going to tell your innermost secrets to (Dayton being the exception :scorp: ) and therefore the closest the robot could get is sort-of-you-but-not-quite.

    Still, there are others, and I'm looking at Facebook drama queens in particular, where you look at their behavior online and you think that's EXACTLY what they are like and what you have to deal with IRL.

    I've posted a number of videos where I give my opinions on various topics. If we gathered up all of my online activity, it would work. Just about all of me is out there somewhere.

    Under this scenario, the robot would probably be more in to exercise, and spend most of its days playing baseball. Then there'd be that red room shit, not sure if there is a robot smart enough to figure that out.

    There was going to be this whole big image search for something more directly topical to reply with, but I found this and had no choice but to post it.

    I keep reading this as U.A. (Uncle Albert) as robot. But then too, I picture U.A. as into a lot of angry masturbation, ending with him rolled into a fetal position in the shower rocking back and forth with a lot of crying.
