In 1999, when I was in 1st grade, my dad started me on computer programming by handing me two ‘70s books of BASIC code printouts for games by Creative Computing magazine. I taught myself by doing ground-up GUI rewrites in VB6—and the port for “Star Trek” was my masterpiece one year in. +
“Luke learns design” month, (cheat) day #21:
Star Trek 1971!
In 1971 a high school kid wrote a game on punch tape about hunting Klingons. In 1972 he rewrote it in HP BASIC, and it became briefly the most distributed software of all time. The code is still available.
So I ported it! Check it out!

Given the state of discourse™️ on AI consciousness—and the fact that these companies tell the most vulnerable people, whose loved ones have just died, to keep paying subscriptions or watch their resurrected family member die again—I’m putting the chance this ends not-catastrophically at about –1000%.
Can you really talk to the dead using AI? We tried out ‘deathbots’ so you don’t have to
Chatbots and voice avatars are being used to preserve the voices of the deceased.
