| Subject: Chat with Caleb Pritchard |
| From: Caleb Pritchard <cpritchard2001@gmail.com> |
3:49 PM Caleb: I understand that the gun Crackhead Pete pulled on Melvin was in fact not a real gun at all but rather a toy.
3:50 PM Can you verify this?
me: it's possible
also possible that it was a real gun
Caleb: My sources have assured me it was fake.
3:51 PM me: well, he certainly had a gun that was fake among his possessions
but he's also shot people
so there's no way of knowing for sure
Caleb: Kinda makes the whole thing a little more absurd.
me: but it was probably fake
Caleb: If you want to know the truth.
me: yes
3:52 PM Caleb: What do you do if the guy you pull a gun on realizes its a toy?
it's.
Dammit.
3:53 PM me: well, the guy was melvin
latest pseudo-gf IM
It's really hard for me to reach you these days
3:54 PM Caleb: Reach you how?
me: no
Caleb: Is she really short?
me: lol no that's not it lol silly
faggot
3:55 PM I almost threw her out of the house last night because she was arguing with me about the dangers of AI
she's like female Stein
3:56 PM Caleb: Do you think about that during sex?
Have you ever accidentally called her Andrew?
You know, in the heat of passion?
3:57 PM me: yes
AND THEN I FUCK HER HARDER
Caleb: What was her thesis on AI?
me: she doesn't think any sort of AI that's powerful enough to be dangerous is possible, like, ever
3:58 PM Caleb: What kind of science does she practice?
me: machine optics and recognition
she's about to be working for DARPA
3:59 PM Caleb: Hm.
So she's not necessarily out of her element in that debate then.
me: well
I'll explain it further later
4:00 PM she kind of is in terms of what major AI figures think on the subject
kind of wrong, that is
4:01 PM Caleb: So, what you're saying is, she basically approaches it as a means of exercise
An exercise in being wrong.
4:02 PM me: no
i mean yes
4:03 PM Caleb: So, to get on the same page here, she's having trouble reaching you emotionally because of your various differences on issues including the theoretical dangers of artificial intelligence.
me: no
she's upset because i don't pay
god damnit
4:04 PM she is iming me again
so you've made me sad a lot lately
is that just the byproduct of something?
or just the way it is?
4:05 PM Caleb: And you've been involved with her for, what, two weeks?
me: yes
three now
4:06 PM Caleb: Wow.
4:08 PM So, do you think you're ready to take this relationship to the next level?
4:09 PM Maybe a little thing I like to call the 'Pennsylvania Dutch country'.
Maybe just a little weekend getaway, just the two of you.
4:10 PM Maybe stay in a little B&B, a little bed n' breakfast, just the two of you, just the happy little couple together.
me: die die die
4:11 PM Caleb: Any way you could patch me into that IM conversation?
Or at least give me her e-mail address and phone number.
Fair's fair, you know.
4:12 PM Fair, after all, is indeed fair.
Can I add her as a Facebook friend?
4:43 PM Caleb: Oh, I thumbed through a little bit of Peter Dresden's, uhm, novel last night.
me: yess
Caleb: It was pretty moving stuff.
me: it is high caliber
lol
Caleb: I didn't know this, but apparently at summer camp, they were legends.
4:44 PM You know.
Like that time the dork got all cut up by this chainsaw and stuff.
4:46 PM He's had sex with lots of girls.
