They've posted the first episode of a little animated mini-series prequel to the Matrix movies. It's really, really well made and I recommend anyone with broadband (or with dial-up and loads of patience) to go see it. The large version is 140MB, though I do think it's worth the wait if you're into the Matrix at all.

[Fredrik]

Hmm I dunno. Matrix mathematics can be fun but I wouldn't say that I'm into it.

[GooberMan]

I eat matrices for breakfast.

[Chopkinsca]

sadly, I can't have breakfast anymore..

too bad these computers have no sounds cards, and also too bad I can't install the things I need to view the movies.
stupid school computers, I swear, it is like they want us to only work or something. :P

I can't even play doom on this computer, too many people around..

[IMJack]

Mmm... Matrix algebra...

This illustrates why I don't usually post threads anymore.

[Captain Red]

math sucks.

[Waldon]

I got it a few minutes after its release. I'm very impressed, looking forward to the other episodes, especially the one made by Square.

[Fredrik]

Ah yes, squares are interesting. Geometry in general is very interesting!

[MaCvILeWhOrE]

I think i'll keep with the topic of this thread by saying THAT FUCKING ROCK.


Thanks flatheaddie ^_^

\m/ keep it metal peoples :D

You're not making sence.

[læmænt]

Matrices are cool. They're the math behind quantum mechanics.

[Insomniak]

My dad had to relearn matrices for his new job.

heh.

too bad I suck at math.

[doomedout]

Nice video man, really thought provoking. Imagine we create AI as sophisticated as that; the ability to reason and the ability to think independently. Almost attributes human qualities to an inanimate object.

Nice video man, really thought provoking.

Don't you ever say Hello?

Imagine we create AI as sophisticated as that;

Say, do you have any psychological problems?

the ability to reason and the ability to think independently.

Do you really think so?

Almost attributes human qualities to an inanimate object.

I'm not sure I understand you fully.

Come, come, elucidate your thoughts.

[doomedout]

Sorry. With an attitude like that, I rather shit in your mouth.

[Empyre]

I believe that lament is trying to allude to Eliza, a very old (originally written for mainframes in the 70s!) psychoanalysis emulation program. She was an early example of AI. Either that or he's referring to one of her decendants.

As in lament's examples, the response didn't always fit what you said, but people back then would actually have heart to "heart" conversations with her.

I have an old dos text-only translation, if anybody is interested.

Edit: I just occurred to me that doomedout might also be referring to Eliza, because if you used language like that, she would respond in kind, sounding much like what doomedout said.

[doomedout]

It is in fact Eliza.
Stuff like...
I see.
You are sure?
I'm not sure I understand you fully.
and the most famous one...
Am I sexy?

[pritch]

Empyre, I see, from your sig, that you're a Star Trek fan :)

[Empyre]

And I can see, from you recognizing my quote, that you are too! :)

And that shows that math really doesn't make sense. I hate math.

Stupidity cannot be concealed.

lament said:

He's right about math. Math sucks.

[Fletcher`]

Math sucks only for those who do not understand it. I'm only as far as Algebra 2 so I suck.

lament said:

I just quoted nothing.

Whatever.
