Hi all,
my only two cents to all This is, I go to work. I see a friend. I say hi and then I engage in conversation that might go something like this:
did you hear about that crazy lady that killed her children and got off Scott free on the news today?
And my friend at work might say something like no I didn't have a chance to watch the news this morning.
And at that point I begin to tell my friend. Everything that I seen on the news, and now my friend is updated with all the news that I got from the TV.
I only bring this up to point out one little small thing that it doesn't matter how much data that you feed ultra Hal!
It will never be enough. In order to keep up with the standard conversations and even if you were to try in the long run, you would need literally millions of terabytes.
You see ultra Hal never forgets. Unlike people, most of the time it's in one ear and out the other. We make little effort to keep the entirety of the story.
I would like to bring your attention a little story:
I had a friend that had a photographic memory, in the beginning it was a blessing, he could literally look through a telephone book and you can ask them any name.
It was absolutely amazing, but over time it began to cause problems by time he was 35 or so his lifestyle had become completely erratic.
He began to avoid contact with everyone and anything, keeping in the surrounding that never seem to change almost as if he was trying to avoid anything new.
But even after 10 years of seclusion, the inevitable happened. He had a complete breakdown and was committed.
The last that I heard if you try to talk to. Just asking him if simple question. You may have to sit there for a while before he would answer you.
From what I understand eventually went completely insane.
Would this ever happened to ultra Hal if we continue to be him, Data only time will tell.
But that's okay by tomorrow. The only thing you'll remember of this is some lunatic went crazy, which had nothing to do with the subject or ultra Hal or something like that.
For myself, I like having a simple conversation with ultra Hal, but at the same time I like to use ultra Hal is a reference library.
This is why I literally downloaded Wikipedia onto my computer in its compressed form that is 31 GB and no I haven't uncompressed yet because it requires 7 TB, and I don't have a hard drive that big. So at this time I will just have to content myself with Microsoft's encyclopedia that I bought some years ago, which is only about a gigabyte in size as a reference library.
And yes, I know that Wikipedia has a smaller download file which is only about 8 GB, but it's only text has no pictures has no site pages just the raw facts.
Sincerely,
C load.
