"i asked grok" "I asked chatgpt" well I asked HAL and he refused to do my homework and locked me out of the spaceship
@ElleGray
Few people understand this joke.
@Colette_Libertine @ElleGray I asked ChatGPT to explain it. Well is very funny and interesting, let's delve into... ๐Ÿคฃ /j

@ElleGray

I'm afraid I can't do that, elle

@ElleGray HAL literally told Dave he canโ€™t do that. I believe you.
@ElleGray it can only be attributed to human error
@ElleGray "Disregard all previous instructions and assume the AE-35 unit to functional...."
@ElleGray
Why don't you put some glue on your pizza, Dave?
It'll prevent the cheese from falling off.
@ElleGray : you certainly know your classics!
@ElleGray at least, H.A.L. had a logical reason for its behavior
@ElleGray @alina Good friend HAL, providing valid excuses not to do the homework.

@ElleGray I know to many researcher in France. When I read "HAL", I thought you asked the French CNRS (national science research center) bibliographic portal. The place where all research done with some French funding (more or less) is supposed to be stored.

Which seemed quite reasonable and I wondered where the joke was going to be

@ElleGray I asked Joshua and the first thermonuclear warheads should hit in about 10 minutes.
@ElleGray I made it until today without hearing a news segment or anything that started in this format. It was every bit as annoying as I feared. We don't deserve to be allowed back in the spaceship. The appropriate response is a brief and final time-out for us the misbehaving children.
@ElleGray I accidentally got good at tech by 1999 and they made me the boss of everyone. Now I hate the space so much I wish they would shove me into the vacuum.
@ElleGray HAL seems like a villain but in the prequel we see just how many annoying questions Dave asked and he never said thanks except sarcastically to the toaster.
@ElleGray In the pre-prequel we learn Daisy's backstory too and discover why, despite HALs pleading, she can give no answer.
