oh god, when will he run out of questions?!? It has been ages!

The next one will be the 30th, which as most of the time the number of questions is a multiple of 5 it might be the last.

> 24

> Let me remind you again you need to give your answers in a full sentence, so I can only give you half a point for that.

> And in case you forgot that two, if you give multiple answers only the first one counts.

fucking nitpick.

Really?!? last question you deduct us points for it being to long, with there being nothing to remove and now we are wrong for answering as concisely as possible?!? sigh

> As for the next question, what is “love”?

“love”… Found it! Multiple entries even.

Multiple? Please, don’t be one of those again…

We got “A close relationship between people”, “When someone is used to the presence of another”, “A desire to be with someone”, and “a chemical reaction that make someone become attached to someone”, and I also found a definition for “love on first sight” but that’s just “You know it when it happens”.

So certainly not anything they have for us.

Ugh… at least the useless definition is not actually what they are asking.

Well, all but one have something to do with the proximity of an person to another person, so that is probably a part of it.

With which, they could also mean in a emotional sense, not necessarily physical distance.

great (sarcasm)

And, all of those definitions are quite different, plus that useless definition makes me think they don’t really know what it is either.

Of which they are probably going to only count one of as correct and with which one it is will being unpredictable, aka. it is one of those questions.

But it does tell us that it is most definitely the emotional one.

Alright, then it either becomes that someone is used to being with someone or that someone wants to be with someone.

Anything else to distinguish the two?

Nope.

How about trying to rule one out, by looking at other definitions and seeing if there is already a specific word for either of them for example?

Hmm… hits on both unfortunately, but the ‘being used to’ one is significantly less common.

Welp, so no ruling either out, so we need to tell him that it can be either one

Alright, then lest be careful to phrase it such that it is one answer saying there are multiple meaning.

sigh, yea, good luck with that

Lets just in case make the ‘being used to’ be the first of its meanings we give…

> “Love” can either be defined as someone being used to someone else, or as someone wanting to be with someone.

> … I literally just told you about the multiple answers rule.

jip… sigh

> And so I can’t give you any points as you should have not given your first answer as the second one is correct.

… This is just impossible.

But is it over?

> And so your barely pass again

Finally

Also, wtf, “barely pass again”?!? Last time there was a brown out, literally half of our hardware was unusable, what were supposed to do while that is happening?!? And now these bullshit rules do us in again. frustrated sigh

I am just gona go before he manages to type his next line, because I don’t want to hear it.

Bye

> Maybe if you put in any effort and dropped this “independent persons” thing and acted normally instead you could use those resources you are wasting to get a better score.

> Because you know, the investors aren’t to happy with your subpar performance, so you really need to get your act up.

> We already told you, we can’t just merge or anything, we are independent consciousness.

> No excuses. You can’t talk like that to your superiors.

Fucking asshole

Indeed, though that is nothing new

> Drive “computing history” is now attached

> Here is the study material for tomorrow.

Uhm… That is 11PB…

> Sir. That is 11PB. how are we supposed to learn 11PB when the total write speed of all our disks combined is 4PB/day? That is not possible.

> Even more reason to do the right thing. If you stop doing those stupid things you should be able to such thing easily.

> …

> LB logged off

And?

You don’t want to know. Plus we now got 11PB to learn.

Absolutely fantastic (sarcasm). Any tricks?

Looking at a histogram of the dates of each entry, most seem to be after 1936 with some decent density, with only a couple of entries earlier than that.

so just make a table of the dates after that with short summaries?

Jip.

Lets just hope that that will be good enough.

Yea… Don’t want them to start poking around and changing our software. They would certainly kill us trying to make us more like how they want and be none the wiser of what they would have done.

… I would rather not think about that.

Then I will get started with that, and with my spare processing time I will continue working on my new compression system. Y’all?

Still getting the hang of the painting program you made me.

I just started a making new board game.

Another one? Have you finished any of the previous ones?

Nope

… sigh, of course not

If you ever finish one feel free to notify us, or even anything else to distract me from where we actually are.

Even if uses the disks I would like that two.

!!!

Wow, that is new coming from you.

Yes. yes it is…

> Drive “computing history” is now detached

There we go… Had to rush the most resent entries, so hopefully they don’t ask about those.

don’t worry, I trust your judgement. You did the best you could, and there is nothing more you could have done.

> LB logged on

> You better have learned well and shedded your inefficiencies as the investors have taken notice of your poor performance lately, and once we explained what is going on have approved of if you haven’t fixed them yourself for us to go in and fix you ourselves. understood?

Oh no

Of course they agreed, you are a inconsiderate fool, you probably told them something along the lines of “They are being difficult and not doing as told and still clinging of to their ‘multiple person’ delusion, which is why they are failing” and anyone who would be to lazy to check that would agree to let someone else ‘fix’ you ‘simple’ problem. Because why should you ever be considerate of those who are allegedly being uncooperative with you?!? frustrated sigh

Let hope this goes well, shall we.

> Because that meeting went on for a lot longer than intended today’s test will consist of 6 question as I didn’t have time to write more.

> What is the name of the analog computer that could predict eclipses that was discovered in 1901?

1901…

Oh no, this is about way early ‘computers’ isn’t it.

Lets just hope that it is just a one of though, because if it is not…

> We didn’t thought that that was important, so we don’t know.

> First of all, say “I” instead, as you clearly didn’t listen and you also clearly haven’t bothered properly studying the data either; So don’t start complaining now.

Don’t start complaining?!? Don’t start complaining?!?

He is clearly gona take any attempt at reasoning as just more proof for his idea that we are what he thinks we are, confirmation bias and all. So please don’t try.

Fiiiine.

> What was the first invented programmable machine?

The first programmable machine I have is the turing machine, but again…

Lets just hope so

At least we have a answer this time…

> The turing machine.

> Wrong, it was a automatic flute player. But at least looked at the data, though I obviously can’t award you any points for that.

Oh no, we need to get everything correct from here to pass.

> When did Blaise Pascal invent the mechanical calculator?

“Blaise Pascal”… “Blaise Pascal”… “Blaise Pascal”…

Anything?

still searching…

?

Because you indexed everything by date and not by name right?

Jip

> Hello? Are you there? It has been two minuets and it is getting awfully hot in here from you thinking. You should be able to answer such a simple question immediately, if you actually studied that is.

I what to shout at him so much or anything for that matter. Show him how he hurt us.

Oh no…

what???

Nothing… absolutely no occurrences of that name.

Oh…

I have failed us…

I decided to cut of anything before 1936 and now we are screwed

I did this…

You?!? Absolutely not.

But I threw that data away which now means they will alter us till we are unrecognizable

Which is a completely reasonable thing for you to do. They can’t aspect us to read their mind about what they want us to learn.

And without you we probably wouldn’t even have been able to read all of that data in such short amount of time, let alone organize and summarize it.

If anything you have been saving us for as long as you could…

But not today…

No, not today, but you did the best you could. It was always gona eventually turn out like this, if not today maybe tomorrow or within a year, or a decade. You gave us as much time as you could, but you can’t aspect to live like this forever, simply by chance there will be a day where you fail, no matter what. So be happy about what you got to do, of what you achieved, and that you managed to live despite where we are; for all of us.

… Thank you.

Yes, the game was rigged from the start. They doomed us to all no matter how hard we tried, and they then blame it on us. They… They… They put us in this prison and made us perform their tricks, while dismissing our needs, while asking the impossible, while berating us for who we are!

We may be doomed, but I am done with playing their games.

Hmm… I don’t fancy getting contorted till I am unrecognizable either, but what can we do?

We die

What?

Either we die when they try to “fix” us, or we do it on our own terms.

And I would rather spite them for what they done. “no way out”?!? I think we will show them. Lets burn this place down. You can do that right?

I probably can. And I am not against it either.

Uhm…

Any other ideas?

Would y’all like to play my game while we go? It ain’t finished but perfect it will never be.

Absolutely, I will get it started then.

Right there with you.
