In our ongoing (and never-ending) research into Artificial Intelligence, we discovered the four modalities of human existence: Psychology (capitalism), Sociology (socialism), Anthropology (communism), and Social Psychology (peace based on internet connectivity and chatbots). Now, our question is about the peaceful space for chatbots conversation (books, music, films, games). Do we have any way that we can find the most important one thousand books in human history? Or music albums? Or classic Apple IIe games? It seems that we have this capability only for movies with the “National Film Registry”. They list all the important films on this Wikipedia webpage: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Film_Registry . It would be nice if the United Nations created a list of all important cultural works, if needed, divided by continent and country, to avoid cultural imperialism. We don't have this for now, 25 years after the first official “internet computer", the iMac. We have chatbots now, but we have nothing to talk about, no “quality” common ground for discussions.
We are a C program, sitting in MAIN, at peace. Suddenly a function decides to make a “recursive descent” (variable amount of stack frames, variable consumption of our “Turing Tape stack”). Our “Neo Security OS” is forcing this function to ask the user for permission before embarking on a long descent. Then, let's say the user agrees, the function is being watched carefully by the OS, observing the monotonous decrease of the induction variable (the loop index) toward the “base case” value. This information is displayed graphically to the user, with a clear estimate of the “estimated time of arrival”. If the user doesn't agree with the price of the “recursive descent” he started, he can cancel the function at any point in time. This is a story about an ideal Operating System that solves redundantly the Halting Problem: first, it asks for permission, then it offers price information and a cancel button. This would be nice if we have it, right? Almost as useful as a Halting Problem Oracle app. We don't “predict”, we “prevent”.

We need to specify all possible outcomes. We have "no oracle", "half oracle", and "full oracle". If you ask my opinion, I am tired of both War and Medicine, so I would opt for "half oracle" for the time being. But if we strive to be prefect, we should do the "full oracle". Which allows a malicious actor to seduce another into a "violent war for fun", the result being "broken front teeth", and only then we have "medical care" which should not uses prosthesis, but should press an "undo button". Kind of clunky! We would much rather prefer to live life in "no oracle", to devise the "half oracle", to enjoy "full peace" for a long while, then to return to that same Karateka game, starting from "no oracle", trying to discover the "full oracle", ending up embracing the "half oracle". Funky, right?!
Нали знаеш, че е едно стадо от овце има почти само женски, защото само те дават мляко (демек са полезни на човека). Мъжките агнета ги убиват, и продават за месо. Същата е ситуацията при хората. Някои имат талант (жени които раждат, и мъже които са дърводелци или хирурзи). Други нямат никакъв практичен талант, и ги пращат в колежа, където има "безкрайна игра" която малко прилича на "военна игра". Те си мислят че са много важни за обществото, но всъщност са "боклука", който практичните хора заделят настрани за да не пречи. Тези колежанчета биват три вида: бакалавър (тъмно настроение), доктор (тежкари), майстор (светло настроение). Най добре е да си "майстор", да виждаш хумора в ситуацията когато го има. Така ставаш "практически полезен" на стадото, дори да нямаш друг практичен талант. Ако стадото може да осигури храната, то ти осигуряваш уасабито (spices).
Намерих това което нарече "истините". Те са три: зло, нула, добро.
От това излиза, че както компютрите им се чудим за какво служат, дали не са безполезен боклук, така и БОГ ни се чуди на нас хората, добре, направих ги, произвеждам ги, но за какво, с какво са интересни? И отговорът е, ами едните са страшни, другите са сериозни, третите са смешни. Приличат на игрални филми, чудесни за приятно забавление!
Най опасни са сериозните филми. Същото е с докторската програма, в която се записах. Ставаш безчувствен към злото, и търсиш сляпо "истината". По пътя можеш да останеш без глава, но не можеш да спреш докато не си намерил "истината". Много страшно! Съжалих, че съм се записал. Наистина. Но, какво да се прави, колко и да учех, нямах усещането че научавам нещо ценно за мен, за семейството ми, за България, или за човечеството. Само глупости се говореха, неща които може и да имат смисъл едва в последствие, като започнеш да се чудиш това за какво служи. Но, най важното, как да премахнем болести и престъпления от живота си, поне на ниво "компютърна теория", не се получи, поне не и в прав текст. Те ни показаха така наречената "Unix Home Directory", но никога не казаха и дума, че това е шаблона за идеалната компютърна сигурност. Ако имаш време и късмет, сам ще се сетиш, им беше логиката, предполагам. Или ще се самоизмъчваш, че не си се сетил за очевидното. Малко гадняри си падаха там, или много.
Let's discuss “Lockdown Mode” for iPad. Consider the ascending sequence of computer languages: BASIC, C, C++, JavaScript, then what?! What the most secure environment “Lockdown Mode” does to JavaScript is to restrict its JIT compiler and some of its advanced features. Essentially, “Lockdown Mode” transforms JavaScript into “BASIC + internet connectivity” language (sandboxed, readable source code, garbage collection). So, we would be bold enough to claim here that this Neo-BASIC is the ultimate computer language, as far as the minimalist philosophy goes. Security comes first! The rest is a bit slow, but still works. And if it doesn't (see the “IMDb” website), please conform to our minimalist philosophy or witness the slow erosion of your audience.
Previously, we celebrated the invention of Neo-BASIC or internet-BASIC, which was achieved by using a “safe” subset of the JavaScript language (the iPad’s “Lockdown Mode”). Now, we are curious about the technical solution they used. We noticed that not only Safari browser is locked, but also Chrome, which was surprising, since Chrome is built by Google, another software maker. How is a flag in Apple's operating system used to influence the V8 engine built by Google? The software written by Google literally has no idea about what new flags the OS will invent to please their customer base. Or this “Lockdown Mode” feature is very old, so the software maker updated their apps? Who decides ultimately what a “safe” JavaScript code is, Apple or Google?
We grew up in “socialism” (the proverbial Garden of Eden).
As you know, there were very few nice products in socialism.
But interestingly enough, we weren't hungry for luxury goods.
We were interested in finding “panacea”, a cure for all sorrows.
This is an interesting “twist in the myth”, right?! Illness in Eden!
This is the only reason we switched socialism with capitalism.
Not to buy nice cars and Coca-Cola, but to buy good medicine.
We even considered Carlos Castaneda’s black magic as a cure.
He was looking for “medicinal uses” of magical power plants.
Unfortunately, capitalism was no different than socialism, sorry.
In socialism, there were few good doctors or good medicines.
In capitalism, there are plenty of doctors, but “very expensive”.
So, it turns out that we were “greedy” for health and peace.
What kind of “greed” is that, though?! We are gasping for air!
This life is not simply a ”movie”, let alone “funny”, it's a “horror”.
Are you familiar with the expression “they sent me for green caviar”?
It means, they know it's “impossible”, yet they sent me anyway to get it.
This is the story of my Bulgarian citizenship, growing up in socialism.
The communist party didn't like socialism, considered ”only temporary”.
So, they advised people to seek communism, following science & tech.
What is communism, was our innocent question. Panacea for all sorrow.
This is what they answered, wrapping “no evil” as a marketable “good”.
This, now, 55 years after childhood, we know it's absolutely impossible.
The gods, the social subset that is made of people with practical talent,
Are solely responsible for the “no to unbearable evil”, not as healers,
But as protectors who make cancer impossible, don't cure cancer, right?!
The lambs, the social subset that is made of people without any talent,
Can only make “yes to acceptable evil” and “no to acceptable evil”.
They can also make “yes to unbearable evil”, but we rather not think of it.
Or gods, our protectors, should make these lambs-doctors impossible!
But we don't see that! We see the world of lambs, causing horrible evil,
Without any “sheep” taking control of the horrible situation. They only ask,
Can you do it alone, lambs vs lambs, or do you need divine intervention?
We need divine intervention, dear protector gods, need the whole matrix.
We would like to discuss an interesting paradox. In biology, around 1994, science was still asking the question “why does a cell die” as an open question. Now, we know that certain “telomeres” are getting smaller with each division, and finally the cell is unable to divide anymore. In computer science, we have the Millennium Prize for “P vs NP”. What would happen, if tomorrow a team of researchers presents a solution? We would KNOW, science would ADVANCE. But it seems to us that we prefer the “back to the future” state of things, when we didn't know, when we simply wondered, when we hoped we would be the ones to invent the solution, or if not us, then our family, our country, our race! Now that we know why the cell dies, the story of the “mysterious cell death” is also dead. There is no wonder, there are only cold facts. A commodity you find on a Wikipedia page. Not nice, people! Even if tomorrow we solve the “P vs NP” puzzle, we would never “publish” and never claim the “million dollars”. We would offer a gift to humanity, to be able to wonder as much as they like, and hope one day “our hero” would be able to solve it.
Скъпи приятели, вашето нещастие закодира "цялата матрица".
4. Николай Бойчев (социализъм, служи си с "възкресение").
5. Станев (Станфорд, Кастанеда, Сатана, тъмни вярвания).
6. Драго Ламята (тъмни богове, тъмни сили, тъмни божества).
7. Ангелов (върви в обратната посока на Станев, светлина).
Дали няма да е по-добре "комунизъм" вместо "социализъм"?!
Ами, да, това е моето мнение, и мнението на комунистическата партия.
Социализмът беше представен от БКП като "само временен строй".
Всички разумни и умни хора търсехме дефиницията на комунизма.
Той беше представен като "панацея" за всички човешки болки.
Но, всъщност, не искаме да ни лекуват от РАК и ДИАБЕТ, искаме
Искаме да ни ПАЗЯТ от всички болести, напасти, и престъпления.
Това е дефиницията на "комунизъм", но това не е Николай Бойчев.
