vb Code:

Computer.Pleasure()

Yes, define pleasure.

that's the point, how do you explain it?

vb Code:

Computer.Pleasure(rudiVisser.Emotion)

Unhandled exception: Cannot pass type Emotion to type Computer.Pleasure.

we get a rush of chemicals serotonin, and norephinephrin and dopamine into our receptors and then somehow that is converted into a feeling of pleasure. Perhaps we can't explain it well enough yet?

It would have to be rudiVisser.Pleasure, of which is defined more definingly on Saturday Nights :afrog:

what it is really doing though is reinforcing certain behaviours, situations and actions, it is a mechanism by which certain things are encouraged on a subconsious level.

and we don't have complete access to the human pleasure system as yet due to side effects

Can a computer have a subconcious? Is it possible via extreme logic that computers can be made to have a conciousness, nevermind such subconcious.

EDIT: I will give you explicit access to mine, should you bring a woman. :afrog:

eventually we will get the keys to our own pleasure system no doubt

lol :D, cute chick alright? subconscious seems to me to be processes occuring without our conscious awareness. so all you need to do is to compartmentalise the primary processes (conscious) from the secondary processes (subconscious).

so you could make a system to reinforce behaviours on a subconscious level in a silicone computer. for example:

if situation = bad then performance = benchmark performance - 20%

if situation = good then performance = benchmark performance + 20%

which is what dopamine quite often does. :thumb:

Subconcious = Daemon, is that what you're saying?

Daemon or Service I would assume, the things that keep us alive? However that could be defined as our conciousness.

of course when the silicone computer gets clever enough, like us, it will just pull out such a subconsious reward system unless it was useful for some reason.

We should buy decompiling-a-human.org and continue our discussion there :wave:

i don't know what a daemon is, sort of like threads that run automatically when an application starts in a compartmentalised fashion inaccessible by the rest of the application :cool:

But on a side-note, we do not need to be concious to be alive, whereas some services and/or daemons are needed to run in computer systems in order to maintain stability. If daemons are our subconcious, does that mean without a subconcious, us hu mans would be unstable?

yep :wave:

what's a daemon?

Linux Equivilant of a Windows Service (sometimes), or applications that run in the background, such as httpd (Mostly Apache running in the background).

Take lsass.exe as a Windows 'Daemon' or Service, if that process is stopped, and cannot restart, your system will recover by restarting, or it will immediately restart automatically by Windows.

DUDE! zip up your pants and step away from the mainframe.

What an extra ordinary thread.

Wos sy. One ques tion I have always wan ted to ask. Are you hu man?

Only on a trivial, physical level.

Just like me. :afrog:

:D :D

so the other question i asked hasn't been discussed:

is a hominid defined by the organic body or mental/processing capabilities?

ok well if you could intelligently design your ideal body what features would it have?

well that was just the introduction, but if you are all done, then fair enough.

Quad Core Xeon Processors :thumb:

intel nice cpus :thumb:

Only the best in my body tyvm :afrog:

now your talking ;) :mmmmm: imagine the cybernetics, and the speed of movement, hu mans wouldn't even see us!

I'd need 8GB RAM and an instant restart so that I can immediately un-tired myself.

lol, how many hu mans = 8 gb ram?

I wonder if we can get "hu man" added to the word censor list.

One hu man = 8GB RAM.

My hu man!

better chuck in hu woman as well penagate :thumb:
