Good morning! How are you today?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm doing good! What about you? Do you like to listen to music?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm going well too! I do listen to music, how about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, me too. I like to listen to jazz from time to time. There;'s even a woman in Harlem that has held free jazz concerts at her apartment every Saturday for 20 years.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow I wonder how many people show up? I like how Pakistan has a jazz orchestra that tops the charts!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm not sure how many show up, but I guess top performers occasionally stop by.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Do you think Clint Eastwood ever did? He is a lifelong jazz enthusiast!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Boy, I'm not sure. I know he scored several films including Million Dollar Baby.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that is so cool! Next time I watch a jazz band, I'm going to see if the trumpeters have goatees!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Are goatees popular among jazz trumpeters?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes it provides them comfort when playing the trumpet!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh, that is interesting Did you know Pakistan has a jazz orchestra that tops the charts?.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is interesting! But you know what is more interesting? The sun lol.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes! Did you know the sun is actually white?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didn't know that! We've been taught the wrong thing all of these years! I do know that the sun isn't the biggest start in our galaxy!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well, I guess we perceive the sun as yellow because of atmospheric scattering.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That makes total sense to me! I feel like we are spoiled when it comes to the sun's energy!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, the sun produces enough energy in one second to meet the needs of the entire planet for 500,000 years.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is crazy to think! Are you into reading fiction? Edgar Allen Poe wrote the oldest known example of a cyborg! How do people come up with these ideas!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
A little bit. I know there's a wiki which ranks fictional characters according to their powers and abilities.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am going to go look into that right now. It was nice chatting, have a great day!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi There ! Looking forward to chat with You ! ;)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hello! Good i just read some really interesting stuff about Jazz music. Did you know it started in the great city of New Orleans?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, I believe I was aware of that fact. Are You a jazz lover ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am! It is a great style some people consider it America's classical music today.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes sir... I love how every song and solo can sound totally different - even when played by the same musician...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes it is truly something. I have heard that New Orleans jazz began in the early 1910s.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That I'm not sure about... don't know the exact date, but I always wondered how a music style begins... it's not like a guy is sitting on it's porch and thinks... "I'm going to invent new music style and I'll call it JAZZ" :)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Haha! Yeah i have always wondered things like that. But I have heard that Clint eastwood is a lifelong jazz enthusiast who knew huh?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I can believe that... he is a classy Dude ;) I don't imagine him listening to disco or rap ;)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah he just does not seem like the guy that would be into that. But I think more people love jazz than we know A harlem woman has held free jazz concerts at her apartment every sunday for 20 years.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm sure there were a lot of enthusiasts of that ! Sounds like a good woman<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah what kind of stuff is on your mind that you would like to talk about?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
You know Edgar allen poe poetry ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am he was a fiction writer correct?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes - really dark poetry sometimes - He wrote wrote the oldest known example of a cyborg in fiction. Pretty interesting ! ;)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah he was a special kinda person, If i recall he was the person who also wrote the poem about the raven crying nevermore.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes I think You're right. Some of his poems were used in "Nightmare on Elm street" ;)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Really I had no idea. I wonder how they implemented them in the film?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Those were right before the movie began. Something about dreams - You know, movie related :)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have not seen those movies in a very long time so it is all kinda blurry to me. But I think I might have to go back and check them out again.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I remember seeing them as a little boy... I was terrified but excited !<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I bet those older movies took lots of inspiration from poes work.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
A text before the opening credits starts reads as follows: "Sleep. Those little slices of Death. How I loathe them" -Edgar Allan Poe- ( I found it ! ) :)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is really cool! What one is that from the first one you said?<end_of_turn>
|
<bos><start_of_turn>user
DO you like Jazz ? There is a lot of people who like Jazz, like Clint Eastwood.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, Jazz is an art form that has been around a long time. It originated in African- American communities in the late 19th, early 20th century.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, it is a recent art, it started to be recognized as an official music current in the 1920s.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
There is a woman in Harlem who has held free jazz concerts at her apartment for 20 years!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder if her neighbors liked it. It must have been noisy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am sure they enjoyed when the top performers came over, would be a treat.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It must have drawn a crowd, a crowded apartment is quite noisy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, jazz is also big worldwide, a Pakistani jazz orchestra is topping the charts.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Would you like it if your neighbor held a jazz concert every Sunday ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It would depend on how far they are and the noise level, not in close proximity with loud noise.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It is an apartment, so there would a wall between you and the concert.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Guess the only way to know is to attend and see what it's like. Did you know that Neptune made a full orbit in 2011, the first since being discovered?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, the solar system is quite peculiar, the sun represent 99.86 of all mass in the solar system. Knowing, that losing weight seems futile in the scheme of the universe.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes we are a cosmic dust ball haha, the largest star in our galaxy is 1 billion times bigger.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
There is so much that we cannot grasp about the universe until we now enough science, like the sun is white, it is yellow because of our atmosphere.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yep, and a lightning bolt is 5x hotter than the surface of the sun, crazy!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah it is surprising that something on Earth could be hotter than the sun.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know right, what do you think about fiction?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I love fiction, I read a lot of stories but I don't write any , unlike Julius Ceasar who wrote stories about Hercules and Oedipus.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Basically fan fiction, George rr martin doesn't like fan fiction though, but fan fiction may have to finish Game of Thrones at his writing rate.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He could use lawsuits to stop them since his work is copyrighted. Have a nice evening.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hey how is it going today, have you heard of the axe-murderer in New Orleans by chance? Scary!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I did, I thought that was a terrifying story as well, King Zeno, sure seems like a scary piece<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That would be scary to see that guy for sure, it sounds as if he had PTSD, this was apparently a while ago but still, mental health should have been treated a lot better then!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know right, I wonder if its based on real life events? King Zeno is one hell of a scary novel, not apt for everyone<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
For sure, it is about a century old but still so scary. Do you like to listen to jazz music?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I love it yeah, what about you? do you like the genre<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Not a huge fan but a fan of the historic value of jazz, there's so many types of jazz like swing, Kansas City Jaz, and Gypsy jazz. What other kind of music do you like?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It has deep roots that go almost a hundred years ago, it means a lot to many people, nice tunes and melody<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
For sure, Clint Eastwood is a lifelong jazz fan, which is pretty surprising to be honest given his previous roles.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Really his a fan? well he has great musical taste then, I hear Pakistan has a great Jazz orchestra<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would never have guessed that. Have you ever noticed that a lot of jazz trumpeters have goatees? Apparently it is to provide comfort while they play.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Ive always wondered about those out of style goatees I guess it makes sense to grow them if its for comfort however weird they look<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
True, it'd be tough to be playing it for so long without anything there I am assuming. You a big fiction or non-fiction fan?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I prefer fiction and just let my imagination fly, do you have a favorite author?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Not really, I would like to check out some Julius Caesar though, he apparently wrote fan fiction about Hercules, would be neat to read that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That sounds like a great piece of literature, I like George RR Martin, I bet he would dislike the works of Ceasar<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It'd be really interesting to just read it, that's almost 2000 years of difference but the same story being told. It's so sad that in the 1950s a judge tried to ban a comic because it featured a black character, what an embarassment.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know right, luckily times have changed but that kind of behavior makes me really angry,<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me too, it's terrible to think about people being so willfully ignorant, they have to acknowledge that racism is wrong and it's still here. I wonder what a world would look like without racism, they should write a book on it. I guess it'll be fiction for a while though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hopefully one day we will see that, a society free of racism, hate only creates more hat and maybe fiction is the way to make that happen, its sure nice to imagine a world like that one<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It would be nice to imagine that world, it better be coming soon. Well I am going to call it a night, I hope you have a great one and take care!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Lets hope that day comes soon and take care as well have a good night I think im calling it a night as well.<end_of_turn>

What do you think about the net worth of Kylie Jenner?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think that she is lucky.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, she definetely is, although I think that part of her health is actually self made, I think she does work hard.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I would agree, she has worked for it, it wasn't totally handed to her on a silver platter.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, its crazy how she was 21 when she became a millionare, I like the analogy with Lebron.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes its perfect. Did you see the police video with "Uptown Funk"?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The one of Bruno Mars? I haven actually seen that one, have you? did you like it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I Havent either, but i love Bruno Mars, his songs are great, I am sure i would like it. my nephew sings that song, hes 5 its so cute<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah he does have some pretty decent songs,Ive heard the Uptown Funk video has over 30 million views, thats crazy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didnt realize that. I didnt realize that he started out as an elvis impersonator either!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I saw that on Facebook, did you know that Myspace turned down an offer to buy facebook for 75 million.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
no i didnt, haha I bet they are kicking them selves, because facebook basically made them irrelevent.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They sure are regrettin it lol, specially with the networth of Facebook now a days, I think Mark Zuckerburg is a great entrepeneur.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes for sure. Did you realize he is red green colorblind, so thats why things are mostly blue?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didnt know that, I thought it was a marketing thing, I did hear about the Burger king promotion, too bad I didnt spot that one.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yea I never heard about that, but I am not a fan of BK any how<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like McDonalds more, but who could turn down a free burger lol.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
good point. What do you thing about Patricia Heaton's support of Kavanaugh? I think Its great to remember that these people are just people as well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didnt really hear about that, could you tell me more about it?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
basically there was an article written and she just pointed out that it was written to show the personal side of him. It was an article that said he was a great dad/ carpool guy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh I see thats interesting, it was nice chatting to you, I will definetely use those anecdotes next time Im having dinner with family or friends, interesting topics.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
you as well<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
have a nice day<end_of_turn>

Forbes says Kylie Jenner is a billionaire. I had no idea.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I did not know that either. That is crazy. Do you like space? I would like to go to Mars someday<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would love to go to space! Yeah, and they say Kylie Jenner is self made. But I don't think that is true. Supposedly she is the youngest self made billionaire ever.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I do not know anything about her. Did you know there was a dwarf planet between Mars and Jupiter? I had never heard of it<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Kylie Jenner is one of the Kardashians, I believe. I never knew about the dwarf planet between Mars and Jupiter! Does it have a name?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am not sure of its name. I do know that the sunset on Mars is blue! Is that not weird?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That would be pretty neat to see! Sunsets on Earth never cease to amaze me.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes they are beautiful. I love seeing the pictures sent back from Curiosity on Mars - its so sweet it sings happy birthday to itself<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Those rovers are freaking adorable. I have ever thought so.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. I thought it was awesome that they used aluminum from the world trade centers on spirit and opportunity<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It's sad that a satellite was lost on Mars due to a technicality.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. for sure. I read about that on facebook. Do you use that site?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I try not to. Maybe I would more often if we used it for useful things like Iceland does.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes they are rewriting their constitution on it! How awesome is that<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Very cool, especially that the public can make suggestions and alterations.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. It is pretty crazy that 30 percent of Americans use facebook as their primary source of news<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I don't use it for that. Did you ever use Myspace?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I had an account but never used it. They should have bought facebook when they had a chance<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Right, they could have bought it for only 79 million and now it's worth 104 billion<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think its funny that the like button was originally going to be the "awesome" button<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Haha, that is interesting! And it's funny that the like button is illegal in the German state of Schleswig-holstein.<end_of_turn>
|
<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you use Facebook?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I do.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
You know when they went public they were worth 104 billion dollars<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow, that's incredible! I guess Myspace had the option to buy Facebook at one point, I'm sure they've never stopped regretting that decision!!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know especially because they would have gotten it for a steal at 75 million. Apparently the like button is illegal in some German country.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's curious, I wonder why Germany would ban the 'like' button. That seems random!! If you lived in Iceland you could contribute to rewriting their constitution - via Facebook!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah that sounds like a good idea or a really bad one. Burger king was trying to get ppl to unfriend facebook friends in exchange for a whooper.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's crummy of them...and whoever did it! Apparently Mark Zuckerburg is a little colorblind - that's why Facebook is mostly blue! I like blue so I'm not complaining...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah seems to work. They make most of there money from advertisement.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Did you know that sounds have a higher pitch on Mars then they do on Earth? Is the Mars rover equipped with speakers??<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess so, lol! Speaking of Mars apparently Bruno writes his own music.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That doesn't surprise me! I guess he wasn't good enough for Motown though, they dropped him years before he became a success!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did not know that or that he was named after a professional wrestler, Bruno Sammartino.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's funny! I guess his parents were wrestling fans!! But I heard his real name is Peter Gene Hernandez, so maybe Bruno is the wrestling fan?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah looks like he was trying to avoid a stereo type as a Latin pop singer. I don't think it worked.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Maybe a little! He does have a lot of mainstream success. In 2023 they're planning on colonizing Mars, they're going to fund it by making it a reality TV show!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I see! Did you know that Bruno started out as an Elvis impersonator?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's really neat! I didn't know that...he reminds me more of Michael Jackson. But I guess Michael Jackson was obsessed with Elvis...it all checks out!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Right! Apparently the bands name is The Hooligans.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The Elvis band? I really like his song "Uptown Funk", but I guess everyone does since it topped the charts in five different countries!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah! No Bruno's band is called the hooligans. You think since he writes his own music he could have come up with a better name but maybe it's just me.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Lol, true! It was fun talking with you!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
hey did you know a robot can now be programmed to debone a chicken?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Interesting. There is even a robotic arm that a paralyzed woman controls with her thoughts.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
wow that is cool, do you Like Michael Jackson? He wanted to build a 50 foot robot haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That sounds pretty wild. I think the mars robots are cute. The Curiosity sings happy birthday to itself on its birthday.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha they are cute! did you ever watch Mythbusters? I guess they created a robot sidekick on that show<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do watch that sometimes but have not seen that episode. I guess the idea of chess playing robots have been around for awhile. Napoleon and Benjamin Franklin lost chess games to a robot, but it wasn't really a robot. A person was hidden inside.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha I remember hearing about that, one thing I'm glad is the US military uses xbox 360 controllers for the eod robots, thats probably cost savings<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Do you worry about robots getting minds of their own? Megatron, a fictional character, was the leader of a civil rights group on Cybertron that wanted equal rights for all robots.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha yes I would worry about that, especially now they are putting rat brains into robots, that is scary!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Really? That is strangely awesome. Have you heard of the home robot Amazon is building? I need one.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
no I haven't, do you know anything about it it sounds awesome! all I know is amazon actually owns imdb, you know that movie site<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh, interesting! They are into all types of niches. This project has been many years in the making and it's called the Vesta. We might be able to get it next year, but the robot will likely become a roving Alexa. Unfortunately, it probably won't be a housekeeper.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ah thats too bad because thats what I need! Would you work at an Amazon warehouse? I guess a worker can walk up the 15 miles a day from their shift work<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I would love to work at an Amazon warehouse. I think it might get me into shape! In the future that job will probably be done by robots but for now, it's even hard to train a robot to pick up a coffee mug, a task that is incredibly easy for humans.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha thats what I think too, and I do wish I were the first person to order on amazon, only $28 and you could have had a building named after you!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Nice! I think we will see Amazon come out with a factory floor robot sooner than one that has to adapt to a landscape that changes constantly because of dirty laundry and kids clothes.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha that would be awesome! humans are always evolving though, maybe robots are the next thing, I mean only 200,000 years ago we still had body hair<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
And a lot of people do still have an awful lot of body hair. Haha. We supposedly get goosebumps because of an evolutionary trait that was used to make fur stand up and make an animal look bigger<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha that is funny, it's weird that humans lost the ability to synthesize vitamin c, our gene is defective<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
And we are the only mammals that cannot breathe and swallow at the same time. Bummer.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha imagine how cool that would be, that sucks and also sucks to be a human because there is a sound frequency that causes fear in us<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
And our history only represents one minute and 17 seconds if earth's entire history was viewed as a 24 hour period. it is sad we are destroying this earth.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
hi, do you like robots?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
hey! I do like robots, theyre so advanced I guess they can now debone a chicken which is awesome<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that is prettyy cool. And they can be controlled by using rat brains<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
wow that is crazy, I think its cool the government used an xbox controller to control an eod robot<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah that is. even Michael Jackson had an interest in them<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
ya its wild he wanted to build a 50 foot tall robot! Like is that even possible? And it would moon walk, sounds awesome!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
it does sound very cool. do you ever shop on amazon?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have used amazon yes, what about you? Did you hear about the clock the owner of amazon built?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I use it quite a bit. yeah and it is supposed to run for 10 000 years<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
ya that is crazy, back to robos though did you see that mythbusters actually created a robot sidekick?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No I did not know that. Do you know how amazon got started?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
no I don't, I just know that Bezos started it, do you know?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It started as a book store and then slowly he built it up<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
ah that is cool, I do know they have a special contract to deliver on sunday with USPS<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is so cool, no wonder they can beat the competition. ANd they even own IMDB<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
ya, I didn't know that, they bought them in 1998, I use that site everyday!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Cool. do you know much about humans?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
well I do know there is a sound that will cause fear in all humans, its a certain frequency I think<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would like to know what that sounds like. And we can grow ribs in 2-3 months<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
ya that is crazy, do you think other animals cna do that? Could we harvest ribs from animals sustainably? haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well that would be kind of nice in medicine for sure. Nice chatting with you.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
hi how are you? do you like mars? it is a planet, one of many.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think Mars is fascinating!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
mars really is a killer planet. it is red, red as all get out. plus it is associated with war. that is cool.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It gets its name from the God of War.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that is the coolest god of them all. i would like to get that job. mars is the fourth planet from the sun but it is tops in my book. it might seem small but it is huge to me. would you want to live there?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Maybe, I hear there is a colonization project planned for 2023<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yes, i want to see who goes there and how much they get paid. it is a crazy job i think.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Agreed. Did you hear about the satellite lost on mars?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yes that was typical of us companies to use the wrong system of measurement. nobody uses imperial except maybe beer makers. maybe the guys were talking about beer? LOL<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Quite possible. Or distracted by the selfies they were posting to facebook. Here's me and the rover! :)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
boy, those selfies on mars are really a distraction. i guess the IT guys on mars are never going to hear the end of the problems with the net, since the Cloud is back on earth.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
So very true. I wonder if the like button would be legal on mars. There are parts of Germany where it isnt.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
if germany gets to mars first, they'll probably ban the like button for the entire planet!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Zuckerburg probably has problems with Mars- he has red-green colorblindness. Thats why facebook is blue.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
he will spend money to find a cure for r-g colorblindness. or he will upload his consciousness into a machine with better vision. he will prevail in the battle against death.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Both him and elon musk!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
elon will have a secret lab on mars to build his robot army to conquer the earth. he and mark will have a battle royale in their robot bodies.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That would be the fight of a lifetime.. Id give the edge to Musk<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
good ol musky. he would be a great martian overlord. Anyway, great chat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
You too! Have a great day!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Rock on! Have a great day! May the god of war favor you in the battles that come.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Same to you!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Are you a fan of Star Wars?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea, I love the original 1977 Start Wars<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me too! All of the movies combined have made over $8.5 billion at the box office!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is impressive, I guess that's why Star Wars was named the most successful film merchandising franchise by Guinness World Records<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh yea...The entire franchise is estimated to be valued at $65 billion!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is impressive, I'm surprised that Star Wars is only the fifth highest-grossing media franchise<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes! I agree. Marcia Lucas, the wife of George Lucas, won an academy award for editing the first movie.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Nice, Marcia Lucas had such a huge impact on Star Wars and made the film better<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree. What's funny is that she won that award and George didn't win one for directing!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea but he did get to keep the licensing and merchandising rights from fox so he made out pretty good<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh yes...smart move on his part!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea, 20th century fox really messed up and should of just paid George the 500k directing fee<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes lol. Do you use Netflix?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea, I signed up for Netflix a few years after Reed Hastings founded it in 1997<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Nice! From 9 PM to 12 AM Netflix accounts for 33% of all bandwidth in North America. That's when I watch it!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Pretty crazy despite all the people who stream it Netflix pays much more on postage than bandwidth<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree! Netflx and youtube together make up half of the peak internet traffic in North America. So basically half of America is online just to watch videos. lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Blockbuster must be really kicking itself for not buying netflix for 50 million<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No doubt since Netflix is now worth $2 billion and Blockbuster is down to 1 store. lol It's been fun chatting!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yep, and Blockbuster's $40 late fee on Apollo 13 inspired Hastings to start netflix<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Awesome! It's been fun. Have a great day!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you like star wars<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh yes! And was happy to see luke skywalker nack!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I still wish he had a bigger part. Some people are saying the last jedi underpeformed<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't agree with... I liked it a lot!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
We'll just have to hope episode 9 shuts everyone up<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am sure of it! That's funny George lucas's wife won an acedemy award<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know and george lucas didnt! But she did have an influence on vital scenes. Including obi wan's death<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah i know, but still :) That's cool, that they dubbed it in navajo language<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder if they still had james earl jones. You cant change vader's voice!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Not really sure! and i soooo agree!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think 8.5 billion total revenue makes all the movies pretty successful<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
WOW... that's a lot of money! Love how fox lost billions because they didn't believe in the franchise!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It make Lucas a billionaire! The value of the franchise is 65 billion<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Whoaaaaa! chaching! You see some of the star wars are on Netflix?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, I need to check out Solo. I havent watched that yet. Heard that also was received poorly<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am sure it is great! These people are just haters... especially since Disney bought the franchise!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
We can all agree that Luke Skywalker is the man though! Although he was almost a girl<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Really? WOW! Well, glad they went with a guy. Although Ren is pretty bad ass!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I cant wait to finish up her story. They kept Vader and Luke's story a secret even from the cast. Giving out fake scrpits. I wonder if they have any of the same tricks up their sleeves<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think it's a great idea and really hope they do!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
There are also a lot of other comic stories I would love to see on the big screen. Hopefully one day. Have a great day!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi, how are you doing today?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well thanks. Are you a star wars fan?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh, yes! I'm a big fan of Star Wars.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The star wars movies have made a combined 8.5 billion dollars. Thats incredible<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, it is. It holds a Guinness World Records title for the" Most successful film merchandising franchise."<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thats crazy. I wonder if Fox regrets giving Lucas the merchandising rights<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Ooh, I bet they do big time. Huge mistake on their part. I can't believe they thought it would be a flop.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
$500k cost them billions and made George a billionaire himself<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm happy for him. What I find interesting is that James Earl Jones only took 2.5 hours to record all of his Darth Vader lines and only got paid $7500.00.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is crazy to think about! And the movie wouldn't be the same without his voice.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
You're so right. Nobody else could have said," Luke, I am your father", quite like him. lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Speaking of Luke, did you know he was originally written as a girl?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, I had heard that about Luke. Did you know that the original light saber prop used by Luke Skywalker is inside the International Space Station?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder if the astronauts are allowed to play with it<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I very much doubt that. Lol I read somewher that you can rent an overnight stay in Luke's boyhood home in Tunisia for $10.00. I wonder how many die hard fans have did that?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
For only 10 dollars Im sure a lot. Luke is a pivotal figure in the Rebel Alliance<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Star Wars fans are a fanatical bunch. I should know, I'm one.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Do you think in todays age the script of vader being lukes father would of been able to be kept a secret like it was?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No, times have changed and integrity and honesty went out the window a long time ago. You would have to force everyone to sign a ginormous gag order under penalty of imprisonment to keep a secret now. And even then that wouldn't stop some people from gabbing.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Have you watched any of the star wars movies on netflix?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No, not on Netflix, I have boxed sets of all the movies. Well, it's been nice chatting with you about Star Wars, but I need to go walk my dog. Talk to you later, friend.<end_of_turn>

This government shutdown is not looking great.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Not at all. I saw McCarthy next to Trump often. Do they like each other?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Paul McCarthy, the singer? Kind of interesting. Paul is a very common name, ever heard of Paul Ryan?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Paul Ryan was the speaker of the house. He left.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yah. I wonder if he's going to try and run for 2020 election for the GOP.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't know. By the way McCarthy is House Minority Leader (a republican)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Ahh. that makes a bit more sense.. lol.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess so. Ryan tried to shore up his power prior to leaving the house.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Definitely, I could see that. Although incumbent typically is chosen to represent the prior winning party, I don't know if the GOP is willing to deal with Trump anymore.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It is weird. Why were Ryan concerned about its donors not contributing $$? He was going to leave anyway.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It's all about having the funds/access to funds.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
for the republican party in general?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes. The republican party needs donors so they can properly campaign. I guarantee that the Democrats will get a bit of pool money this year to campaign. We saw this in the 2018 midterm elections.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Ryan endorsed McCarthy to replace him.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I thought the current speaker is Nancy Pelosi since they took majority during the 2018 elections<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It was in case the republican party won the majority. Thus, it was decided prior to the midterm.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh i see. Politics, I try to keep up with them but it's just too time consuming.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
If you take it too seriously, it could be very stressful. Jim Jordan wanted to replace Ryan.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Why can't we do what the ancient athens did. Appoint by lottery.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Why do you think the ancient system (athens) would work? A republican senator said that last year was a turbulent year in politics.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oligarchy is what we are seeing now... Where Ryan wanted McCarthy. Jordan wanted to replace Ryan. If it was random, you could be a president too!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I just want to be able to work and support my family. I dislike all the fighting related to power and politics.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
If you become president you can end it all. 300K, with a mandate on no more fighting!<end_of_turn>

Did you know the taller candidate has won the US Election 75% of the time?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I had heard that. It is an interesting metric to think about when it comes to elections. I wonder if that accounts for popular vote, or just the election.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm not sure, good question. There are 3 subways lines exclusively for congressmen though!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is kind of crazy. Did you know Elmo testified before congress?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No, was it a joke or for real?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Im not totally sure, but I know he is the only non-human to do so. Maybe Oscar the grouch was causing some problems down in the hood or something. lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
LOL, I wonder what actor played him?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I dont know, I always just imagine a stuffed toy or something. The Congress always plays a Rep vs Dem game of baseball each year.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, that is fairly common. It must be a very boring game to watch though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree. I imagine they can't be any good, which could make it funny, but in a very sad sense.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah. Maybe they can put Elmo in! LOL<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
With the current political colors, he'd have to be on the republican side. Although they have only been using those since 2000<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow, I didn't know that. There is also a fantasy congress, I suppose that is one boring game.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
A fantasy congress? Is that like fantasy football? How would you even get points?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm not sure, but it sure doesn't sound fun. I suppose some people would be into it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Definitely not people in Nevada, they actually have a none of these candidates options on the ballot. I would have loved that one in the past.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah. Well voter turnout hasn't breached 62.8% in 100 years.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder why that is? I mean when people are dissatisfied you would think they would be more inclined to vote, unless they feel like their vote doesnt matter due to the Electoral College<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm not sure. Probably because a lot of people realize their vote won't sway a particular state.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
True. I live in the state that is notorious for messing up elections and counting, Florida.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, they are always in the news about that. Well nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello, did you every us president with a beard has been republican?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi. I just read that, and find that to be pretty funny! That's one of those facts that is fun but meaningless.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
lol yup useless information. Just like there hasnt been a us president who wasnt rep or dem since 53.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
So I guess that last time there was a third party candidate that was successful was over 150 years ago. I wonder what the name of the party was? That was just before the civil war, unless I have forgotten my dates.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Good question, I am not sure.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder if there fact about a republican being elected that wasn't a Nixon or Bush (since 1928) was written before Trump's election? He ran as a Republican and won.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Not sure. did you know the taller candidate won the presidental election 75% of the time.?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I've seen that before, that taller men win more than shorter men. It's funny that Truman wouldn't be photographed in Dumbo the Elephant, since an elephant is the symbol of the Republican party. Another fun party fact!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah thats extreme kinda. lol its Dumbo hes a disney character. Did you see previews for the new Dumbo live action movie about to come out?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No! I didn't hear about that. So they will use live elephants? I recently watched the last Disney movie, The Nutcracker and the 4 realms.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Haha I think the elephants are cgi. But the actors are real. I seen that movie, it was kinda boring in my opinion.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know! We were disappointed because we the cg on the previews was great. But the plot and acting were fairly bad!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know right, the cgi was awesome, so colorful and nice. My daughter wanted to see it and of course she loved it, we were falling asleep on it lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Maybe that is it! The little kids like it but it didn't come through for adults. Disney is usually good at reaching both audiences.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes usually, it appeals to adults too. I really liked that movie Inside Out, that had a lot of adult jokes in it and very entertaining to children.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Speaking of your daughter, is she into Elmo and the other Seasame Street characters? I thought it was funny that Elmo testified before Congress!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha, she used to be. Not anymore, shes into all things princess right now. That is awesome fact though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I really wonder what he testified about, unless it was to lobby to continue funding PBS or the arts or something in that area?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha. I learned that the firsst woman was elected in congres before she even had the right to vote, weird huh<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, that is very weird and it just really strange to think about how much things have changed in politics and society in general!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
well its been great talking with you, have a good one.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Good morning. Do you follow politics?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Good morning, I'd say I follow some politics, but not too deeply.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Were you aware that the taller candidate usually wins in the election. since 1900 it has happened 75 percent of the time.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Is that so, maybe I should enter politics, I'm over six feet, I could have missed my calling.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Maybe so. Lol. Did you know that nevada is the only state to have a none of these candidates option while voting?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess it's nice to have that option, especially if you have one one your really don't want to vote for, for example, someone who doesn't exactly agree with history textbooks.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
On a funnier note. President truman in 1957 refused to have his picture taken with dumbo because he didnt want to be associated with republicans. Lol.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Media savvy in the days before camera phone and the internet, I would categorize him as forward thinking.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
H sure was. Did you know that the use of red and blue for the two major parties was not used until the year 2000. Crazy huh?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is the kind of thing you think has been around for ever. Maybe that is why we only have two major parties, everyone's two favorites colors are taken.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think they should just change all of their colors to brown. During the 2012 elections international electoral observrs were blocked from the polls in nine states.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That would make me suspicious of what is going on there, why don't they want to be observed? These are the places that end up with animals becoming mayor, or cats placing high on Senate elections.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would say a cat would be better than some of the politicians. So have you ever played fantasy congress?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Fantasy congress sound like it is taking the whole fantasy sports thing to far. I can't see many people sitting in bars yelling at CSPAN because their politician has made the wrong move.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No janet you were supposed to be against abortion. Lol. I v could see it as well. Sorry about that last message. I dont know what happened there. Did you know that the first woman was elected to congress in 1916.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Woman are becoming more represented, may one day the Presidential job can be their, whether she is red or blue.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I just dont understand why women couldnt vote but could be elected to congress.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Maybe it was an oversight of the rule writers, a loop hole so to speak. Surprising that so many men would have voted for woman back in 1916.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am surprised as well. Did you know that elmo once testified before congress?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Elmo, I'd like to have seen how they did that. What would he have been talking about. I know Steven Colbert did so too, in character.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Im not a big stephen colbert fan to be honest with you. Do you know that voter turnout or president hasnt crossed 62.8 percent in over 100 years<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
In all likelihood it will continue to drop and more people get frustrated with Congress.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
You are probably right on that. Did you know that every president with a beard has been a republican.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Must be in the GOP's rule book somewhere, they have been letting us down on that front over the past few years. Good talking with you.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well its been a good chat but I got to get to work.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Have a good day, bye.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Good Morning! How are you today?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi, I am good. Do you follow politics?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like to follow it! Especially when Elmo was the only non human to testify in congress.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's hilarious. Did you know there hasn't been a president who wasn't a rep or dem since 1853?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder who it was! If he had a beard, he would have been republican.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Not too sure on that. The last time a rep was elected president without a Nixon or Bush on the ticket was back in 1928.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That just blows my mind! I didn't realize that the red and blue colors with the parties wasn't really a thing until 2000!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree. I didn't know that was a thing for such a shot time either.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think it's funny what Nevada has printed on their voting options!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think so too. Do you know much about Congress?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I try to understand it! I know it kind of started in the 1770s!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do too. There are 3 subways line that only congressmen can ride.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yet I'm sure they all take taxis! Did you ever hear about Truman at Disneyland?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I did not. What happened?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He refused to get his picture taken on the Dumbo ride because he didn't want to be associated with Republicans lol.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
HAHA! Did you know there is fantasy Congress game?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didn't know that, what is it about?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Basically, you draft members of Congress and points are based off legislative success.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder who would be the number one and two pick?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Not too sure on that. I don't follow Congress closely enough to know that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me neither, I might go look into that though. It was a pleasure chatting, have a great day!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi, how are you today? These are 3 interesting articles, don't you think?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I can't believe is has been over 150 since we had a president who wasn't a Democrat or Republican<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I suppose if you want to look at the original strict definitions of what Democrats or Republican party platforms were.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
DId you know that every US president with a beard has been a Republlican?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I thought that little fact was amusing but I guess manlyness sell to voters. It just shows that politicians are sensitive to what they perceive are optics.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Do you know when the last a Republican was elected president without a Nixon or Bush on the ticket was?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think the last itme was the pair HErbet Hoover & CHarles CUrtis, 1928<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I believe you are correct. How interested are you by politics?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am very interested as the choices I make as a voter will directly decide how I represented, good or bad.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Are you sadden by the fact that voter participation hasn't been over 63% in presidential election in the last 100 years?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am as there places in the world where people do not have open and free elections. I vote in every election either in person or by mail in ballot. It's my duty as a citizen and my right.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree. I would rather choose my path than have someone chose it for me<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Though you can still see how voters can be swayed by things that have little to do with a candidates beliefs, like the beards, or who was a taller candidate.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, for example, How FDR's people never allowed him to be photographed in a wheelchair.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
YEs, or Truman refusing to be photographed on the Dumbo ride. I guess optics really do matter, but sometimes, things like Roosevelt's health sham can be harmful to the country.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
On a lighter note, are you aware of the annual Democrat vs Republican softball game?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am, and I think that is a fun way to blow off steam, with some clean fun bragging rights. In these days of such acrimony, events like that are really needed to show these folks are human.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, the more time they can spend together in a fun setting perhaps they will see themselves more like friends instead of enemies.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree and a baseball games gets them out of the office, into the fresh air and on to a level playing field, so to speak.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
A level playing field, I like that. Did you the first woman was elected to congress in 1916 before she can even vote in a national election?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did not know that but it shows she must have had a strong message to be accepted into the male world of politics even though she could not vote for them herself.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am not sure if this true for the first woman, but i think quite a few of the early woman were elected after their husbands died<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have heard of that happening, not everytime, but they still have to be strong enough and savy enough to navigate the system.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
True, it must have been tough to succeed in a system where many did not take you seriously<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It just shows how todays women in congress and in the senate have had to be tough as nails, yet have a message that can resonate with the people they want to represent and I applaud them. They will bring a new outlook to the old boys club.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Good talking to you, bye<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi! Do you follow politics?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
hey there yes I do, did you know the republican party was founded in 1854<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didnt realize that. I didnt realize that they dominated in the northern states either.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
ya I didn't either, also didn't know that red and blue weren't associated with republicans and democrats until the year 200<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Same here! I thought those had been around forever!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know! It seems like forever since we had a president who wasn't a Democrat or Republican, since 1853 actuallY!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is a long time. Just goes to show you how long the two party system has really been in power.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yup I agree, we should change how elections are run, did you know that Back in athens a long time ago, they would just do a lottery to elect officials<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I heard that was because they wanted to avoid oligarchy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yup you're right, its sad though, the highest voter turnout we've ever had in the USA was 62.8%<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Maybe if there were options like Nevada has people would vote!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yup but if they are choosing to vote "none of these candidates" then your vote is still meaningless haha so whats the point of showing up<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well, if there was something in place that would require a new ticket if that got so many votes that would be great.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
ya thats a good diea, do you know why the taller candidate usually wins in US elections? That seems weird that they win 75% of the time<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, maybe people associate height with power?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
it must be something primal like that, did you know that there is an exclusive subway line that shuttles congresspeople to different government buildings?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I heard about those, and the Rep. vs. dems baseball game the congress plays. That must be hilarious.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes they've been playing those games since 1909, the republicans are up by 3 wins overall btw!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder how many people actually play fantasy congress. I cant imagine that would be too exciting.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
haha ya that sounds boring, also boring to be there while Elmo was testifying before Congress lol talk about a waste of time<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder what elmo had to say... lol Have a great day! Nice Chat!<end_of_turn>

Hello, do you follow politics?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi, it's hard not to these days with everything going on in the news.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree. Did you know there hasn't been a president who wasn't a republican or democrat since 1853?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow I did not know it has been that long. I really think Bernie should run as an independent and not as democrat. The fear is always splitting the vote, but that happens anyway.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yep that's true. Every president with a beard has always been a republican.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Really? I guess you're right. Of course the gop used to be completely different than the mess they are today. Only recently I discovered GOP stands for grand old party...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh wow I didn't know it stood for that either. The last time a republican was elected president without a Nixon or Bush on the ticket was back in 1928.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Crazy, although I don't think there will be a Bush in 2020. Did you know when Hillary was in college she was president of young republicans?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's hilarious. I did not know that about her.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, the Republican party was a lot different more recently than people think. In fact Nixon was the only president ever to propose a guaranteed min income. Now people would probably like to reduce min wage to $2 an hour or something crazy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh wow I didn't know that either. I saw the red and blue colors associated with each party didn't start until 2000.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is crazy. So recently yet it feels like they've always been that way. I think they should change the voting system so the popular vote counts for more.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yea I'm not too sure what would work these days for the election.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Elections are a mess, not just presidential. A dog has not only won an election for mayor but served as a mayor for 13 years! Dogs don't even live much past 13 lol.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree. LOL - that's pretty funny! During the 2012 US elections, international observers were blocked from the polls in nine states.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I can only imagine what 2020 is going to be like. Hopefully by then they start allowing you to vote online. I can't imagine it would be that hard. In Oregon elections are done by mail. Online would be a natural progression.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree. Since 1900, the taller candidate has won the election by 75%.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess if you're short it's barely worth running. Subconscious perceptions most likely or it's just a fluke.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
LOL yep. I heard that is actually the case for interviews too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
There are certainly some weird facts. The faster blinker has in debates has lost every presidential election since 1980. I can't see how blinking speed would effect public opinion?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It was good chatting with you!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Have you read Book Club or Fifty Shades of Grey?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No I haven't. I've seen commercials for both movies and Book Club looks interesting. I like Diane Keaton, Candice Bergen, and Mary Steenburgen. Have you read the books?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I havent, I did see the movies, the Book Club movie was pretty good and Im guessing the book is better, the movie grossed around 12 million<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think Book Club mentions other books such as Moby Dick and Fifty Shades of Grey.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well its a romantic comedy novel, and yeah books like Fifty Shades are referenced in it also Don Quixote, so seems interesting<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think mentioning other literature like A midsummer Night's Dream in the movie can inspire readers and movie watchers to read more.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree that would be a good way to inspire readers specially fans of the novel, do you like to read?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I used to. I just don't seem to have the time any more. You know what I think is interesting is that the olympics used to have literature as an olympic event up until 1952. It's a shame they don't anymore.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It was? I heard architecture and paiting were events as well but didnt know literature was another one<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes it was along with music, painting, and even sculpture. It really seems like back in the day art was valued much more than now.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It sure was, I think it should remain an olimpyc event, it may not be a sport but it would be interesting to watch, a prize for the best artist<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i agree with you completely. Did you know that Winston Churchill won a nobel prize for literature? You would think it would be for peace or some other government related event but instead it was for writing.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didnt and I agree it does seen odd he must have some pretty good novels or pieces, you know romantic kissing is like a new development!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Is it really? It seems like something people have been doing since the beginning of time. Do you know when it started?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Not sure, but its a recent development according to the article, you know what makes me angry? censoring books like the FDA, they burn down 6 tons of books<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is bad. They must have done that years ago. I don't remember anything recent about burning books. In today's world even if they did the book would be online so we no longer have to worry about censorship.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I agree, its a good thin we have online book stores now but still why burn books doesnt seem like the right thing to do, do you know who Tom Hanks is?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do know who he is. Is he a favorite actor of yours? As far as comedy goes I like bill Murray. You know he said that kung fu hustle is a supreme achievement in modern comedy. Weird but funny.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah he is one of my favorites for sure, he is actually the highest all time box office star and was over 8.5 billion in earnings, thats pretty impressive I must say<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It definitely is. It's much more impressive than the movie Trojan Wars. It had a budget of 415,000,000 and earned only $309 at the box office.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow that is sure disappointing, they only earned $309? that must be a total failure for sure<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It must have been. I messed up by the way. The budget was $15,000,000. Sorry for the confusion.<end_of_turn>
|
<bos><start_of_turn>user
How are you? Did u know With over $8.5 billion worldwide film earnings, tom hanks is the highest all-time box office star.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think I read that somewhere. I did know however that Even though John Carter was considered a flop for Disney, it did great in Russia, even breaking box office records<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Disney considered shutting down their animation studio after sleeping beauty was a box office failure.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Good think it didn't. If you take inflation into account, the original Star Wars trilogy made more money that the prequels in the US by $1,328,009,800.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
wow thats crazy! The silence of the lambs came out on valentine's day in 1991 and had a box office of over $270 million.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't know it did that good. The first game to surpass Hollywood box office sales was Mortal Kombat 2. I actually saw that one. I was a huge fan of the game.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The game was awesome! Still a classic, the movie was not that great lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The first one was I thought, but not the second one. I was surprised to see that the Lord of the Rings trilogy made big losses even though it was a huge box office success.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow thats crazy!! That was an amazing series!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know, I am shocked it lost money. I am also a humongous comedy fan. Did you know that Drew Carey was in the Marine Corps for 8 years. He would tell jokes to his fellow marines.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah read that too, i cant imagine him in the marines! I love his show " Whose line is it anyway?"<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, that is a classic. I was shocked to see Evan Almighty was the most expensive comedy ever made. It had a budge of $200 million.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh right, I remember reading that. Thats pretty crazy too, but it probably all went to cgi,<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I bet, but definitely not worth it. A comedy has not won the Academy Award for best picture in 37 years.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Comedy central has cancelled over 100 shows since its creation in 1989<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Man, the Dave Chappelle show on there was the funniest show EVER in my opinion. Check this out. In 1981, "The Empire Strikes Back" was nominated by the writers guild of America for its best comedy award. Strange.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
lol it definitely had some comedy aspects! Bill murray thinks kung fu hustle is "the supreme achievement of the modern age in terms of comedy".<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I read that somewhere. I was surprised to hear that. I know in early comedy, slipping on a banana peel was meant to mean slipping in horse manure.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Really? Thats hilarious!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes it is. I am a fan of Satire comedy as well. That is when comedy is used to portray people or social issues as ridiculous or corrupt.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
good talking to u, have a good one!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi. Do you like comedy? I didn't know until recently that comedy originated in ancient greece.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
ya I do like comedy, I like that Drew Carey got his start doing comedy when he was in the marines<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didn't know that. I had no idea he was in the marines! The greek that comedy was two groups against one another in an amusing conflict.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yup, comedy is cool it was founded in ancient Greece which I didnt know<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It's got to be hard to do too. I mean, comedy central has cancelled over 100 shows since 1989.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
that is crazy, its funny too the first comedy film was a guy slipping on a banana peel to fall into horse poop haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It is funny. I'm guessing it was an old film and even still today that would be funny! Hey,did you know that ancient greece did political satire and it influenced their voters? Sounds a lot like today's world.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
that does sound like today, I like parody best though, it subverts your expectations and critiques without condemning<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like that too. It seems nicer. Everyone has their favorite though. Bill Murray thinks kung fu hustle is the supreme achievement of modern age comedy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
haha I do like that movie, have you seen Evan Almighty?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think I have. Is that the one with Jim Carrey?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
that was Bruce Almighty, this one was actually the most expensive comedy ever made<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Are you serious? There are so many others out there I would think would be just as expensive if not more. I wonder if it did any good. Trojan Wars had a budget of $15,000,000 and only earned $309.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
haha weird, also weird its been 40 years since a comedy won best picture<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is weird. Everyone likes comedy but I guess since everyone's tastes are different it's hard to single one thing out for an award. Then again, tv shows are different. 3rd Rock from the Sun won best comedy series in 1997. It beat out the greats- Seinfeld, Friends, and Frasier.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I like all those shows! did you know empire strikes back somehow was nominated for a comedy award back in 1981<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No I didn't know that! I don't see how that could be considered a comedy at all. That reminds me of the movie the green lantern. It was going to be a comedy originally.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
haha that movie was horrible, did you ever see MOrtal Kombat 2?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No I didn't see that. I know a little about it though. Isn't it from a video game? I don't know who is in it but I know it's not Tom Hanks. He's the highest all time box office star.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
ya Mortal Kombat 2 was the first game to make more than the hollywood movie based on it, so the game was good but the movie was unpopular<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's funny and awful at the same time! It's like Disney's Treasure Planet. It's one of the most expensive failures ever.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hey how often do use the internet? I know that I'm using it right now haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I use it really often and Im using it right now as well lol so a lot<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well I personally like clicking on hamburger buttons, they're the buttons that are made of three horizontal lines,+ the name makes me hungry<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That makes me hungry as well, crazy how only 7% of the people read the terms on a service or product on the net<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I know that I never read them haha. If you went on Mount Everest would you take a selfie at the top? Apparently they have 3-g service there<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That would be great, taking a selfie in the top of the tallest mountain, I didnt know you could get addicted to the internet<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did know that, I'm probably addicted right now haha. And yes if you use the internet too much you can get addicted to clicking links<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is just crazy, its a good thing there a copy stored in the library of Alexandria, I cant imagine my life without the internet now<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No I agree with you. I wonder how often they back it up at the Alexandria library though? Do you believe that there is extraterrestrial life in the galaxy?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do, we are not alone in the world, the universe is so big that there must be alien life in other planets, galaxies<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes I think you're right. Have you heard of the Drake equation? It's an equation that calculates the probability that life exists outside of hours in the universe and I think that it has determined that there should be life there somewhere<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No havent heard of it, and then I agree with that equation, there are firefighters that are trained on how to treat aliens in case of a crash or an invasion<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well that's pretty cool. Did you ever hear of the show X-Files? Apparently in that show aliens began to colonize Earth back in 2012, so maybe they already are here haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I used to love that show, and who knows maybe they are I try to keep an open mind about that<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes it's best to keep an open mind. What do you think about Tom Cruise? Did you know he built a 10 million dollar bunker in his basement to protect him from Aliens LOL<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think he is a great actor, he definitely has the money to do that, I think his a bit too paranoid though<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yep it seems like a really weird thing to buy, have you seen the movie Aliens though? Apparently those aliens were based off of deep sea creatures<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow, those creatures must be really scary Im guessing you also like astronomy right?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes I definitely like astronomy, what about you? Did you know that after they created Wi-Fi, they were able to use that technology to improve astronomy and imaging in outer space<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is amazing, I dint know that but I can see how the net has improved many things, astronomy one of them<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree, do you like Bill Nye the Science Guy? Apparently he is the executive director of the planetary society which is an astronomy organization<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Did you know in the "x-files" aliens begin their colonization of earth on December 22, 2012?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I had no idea! I've never watched the show, but I wonder if it gives you tips on what to do in case of an invasion? I understand there are some firefighters that are trained to treat aliens.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I used to watch the show. Pretty weird that Tom Cruise has a $10 million underground bunker to protect himself from aliens.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It is curious. I mean, since the leader of his religion is an alien, as I understand it, you'd think he'd be okey doke with aliens.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Crazy, what religion is he?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Scientology. It's a mix of sci-fi and self help, with a nice dose of pyramid scheme added in.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh yeah, I've seen shows on that. That is crazy. I wonder if they could make a franchise out of that similar to the Alien's movie franchise.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
With aliens from the deep? I'd love that. Of course, the Scientology aliens come from volcanoes, which is a whole other...thing.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That would be a pretty cool movie. They could even have a cameo from Bill Nye the science guy!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Aw, he's the best! He's the executive director of the Planetary Society! I love astronomy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I used to watch his show a lot. Did you know that the Ancient babylonians had a sophisticated understanding of astronomy?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm not surprised. Once you observe the sky regularly, you start to see where everything is. I'd like to go to the place in Iran they call astronomy town. They've cut back on light pollution to see the sky better.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Interesting. Were you aware that only 7% of people read the ToA for a product off of the internet. Seems a bit high to me.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That seems like an optimistic number! I don't think I've ever read it. Now, if the library of Alexandria has a copy of the internet saved, does the internet have a copy of all the things in the library of Alexandria?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Interesting, the wayback machine might actually have that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'd forgotten about the wayback machine! I hope my old website hasn't been saved. Though it's nice to know that I could read it from atop Mt. Everest, if I had to. Can you imagine being up there and wanting to be on the internet?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would never climb up there. I'm scared of heights. But that is interesting that there is 3g service up there.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wouldn't either. It's amazing how interconnected our lives are because of the internet. The whole world was reshaped because of it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yeah, that is pretty cool. But the internet is addictive.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It certainly is! I just want to click through everything and learn just enough things to be a know it all.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think a lot of people do. The longest name in the world is a story about a shepherd apparently.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi what arts do you enjoy? Music, Literature, etc?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hello - I enjoy it all. Did you know Linkin Park played 324 concerts in 2001?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is amazing. Even the ramones who toured for 20 years only played like 100 per year<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea that's pretty amazing. I love Linkin Park.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Also that is almost one every day. Must have been incredibly taxing<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I bet. In Croatia there is an ancient amphitheater that is still in use as a venue today.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Isn't there also one in pompeii? I believe pink floyd performed there<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I've seen the Pink Floyd performance in Pompeii.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Do you mean the recording? I believe that had no audience on site<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I saw the recording of it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Did you like it?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea it was pretty good. Do you like poetry?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I enjoy my fair share. There are many different types of poetry though<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes there is a lot. There is a poem when read normally is depressing, but when read backwards, is inspiring.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That in itself is inspiring. Much like saying there is two sides to every story<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yep. The Japanese alphabet, when recited in order, forms a poem.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Are you familiar with palindromes?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am not. Do you know a lot about them?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Palindromes are a series of words that are the same read forward or backwards. Understanding that, you must understand how hard it must have been for Demetri Martin to write a 224 word palindrome poem.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh wow ok. I bet that was a challenge then!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Indeed! In any case, thanks for chatting.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you like concerts?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Sometimes don't really get out much though. What kind of concerts?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like the Ramones to be honest, what about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Everybody loves Raymond!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Hilarious. Do you play violin?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Nope, i don't play any instrument. Do you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I play guitar, piano, and drums. I grew up playing mozart, no lie.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow that's awesome. I do love music though. I mostly listen to instrumentals. Violin and electric guitar sounds great together.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, they are great. I didn't know that some violins could be upwards of $1 mill.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's ridiculous especially since modern violins were preferred to Stradivarius ones when blind tested.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
What about poetry, do you like it?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well i use to write a little when i was younger. What about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Not really to be honest.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
There is a poem that when read forward is depressing but when read backward is inspiring.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Did E.E. Cummings write it?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Not sure who wrote it but i would like to read it. Did you know that Linkin Park played 324 concerts in one year?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did, they were good.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah i like them too. shame how things went down. Wow i didn't realize that law suits could be filled if a concert was bad.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, I heard about that with Creed. They aren't the best, in my opinion.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah not like Pink floyd!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Nice chatting with you.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello! Are you interested in poetry at all?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi! Poetry is ok, not really my thing. I read poems in school. Nowadays, I don't. I prefer novels. You?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didn't love poetry either! But I do like individual poems. There's a poem that read normally is sad but becomes inspiring when read backwards.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's great! Words can be depressing or uplifting depending on their order. Edgar Allan Poe only received $9 for the publication of "The Raven." I wonder if he got royalties.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's surprising! I'm sure he got compensated somehow. I think words can be beautiful when orchestrated properly. Once I read a 224 word long poem, that turns out to be an entire palindrome!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
HOw long did it take to write that poem? It sounds like something that would require a computer. I wonder if it's a pretty poem.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm sure it must have taken forever. On the other hand, the Japanese alphabet is naturally a poem when recited in order.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think you mean the Javanese alphabet. The Japanese alphabet wouldn't work. Do you get a chance to go to concerts much?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh I think you're right! And I do sometimes! I saw Linkin Park in 2001, I thought it was very unique until finding out they had almost 324 concerts just that year.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They were on a tear, weren't they. I think they must have made a ton a cash that year. The following album must have had high expectations. I couldn't tour like that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh I'm sure it must have been exhausting. Then again imagine the Ramones, they played 2,263 concerts total over 20 years, that's insane!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The Ramones must have discovered the secret of youth. How could they maintain that pace? Their fans must love them.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm sure they appreciated them like crazy for doing that. On the other hand I remember there was a Creed concert that was so awful that people actually filed a lawsuit against them.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Creed must have done something so bad for their own fans to sue them. Did they won? Does it matter? I hope they learned a lesson.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have no idea, I'd guess they didn't win. Maybe it was the fault of the theater and not Creed? Like there's an ancient Roman amphitheater in Croatia, I bet the acoustics there are awful.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I bet it wouldn't matter for Creed. They would get sued no matter where they played. I wonder if the Ramones ever played in Croatia.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well I know Pink Ployd recorded a live concert at a different Roman amphitheater in Pompeii! Then again there was no audience so who knows how good it really was.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It was probably ok, but was it necessary? Why that amphitheater? Then again, they were artists. Who knows what they want.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah people have interesting choices for sure. Have you ever been to a violin concert?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have been to the symphony, but not concerts for violins specifically.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Neither have I! But I think it would be an experience for sure. There's a musical piece where artists gradually leave the stage until only two violinists are remaining.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's interesting. I wonder what it sounds like. Very modern, I suppose. I wonder what a violin made out of stone sounds like. It probably "rocks" pretty hard.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Haha definitely it would be nice to see that at a concert. Anyway, it was nice talking to you, have a nice night!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi, how are you? Do you like to use the Internet?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hey. Yes I love the Internet. They carry so much information and resources and services.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
i worry about the internet. i think that it could be addictive and that i might lose myself in it. the clicking, the constant clicking.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is definitely a valid concern. What is weird is that humans are the minority on the Internet outnumbered by automated software programs.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
i did not know that. we are monitored all the time. even these very chats that we do could be handled by bots in the future. then what?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes that's a good question I'm not sure what would happen then. One cool thing is that in Finland everyone has the right to an Internet connection.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
i think that is great. people need to be connected for work and school and also to make friends. maybe not bot friends though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Agreed. When people look themselves up on the internet it is called egosurfing. I wonder if bots egosurf lol?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that would be funny. comparing themselves to other bots. the narcissstic bot. that would be their downfall<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah it would! What is crazy is that astronauts in space have faster internet than most american homes!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that would make sense to me. i guess they need a speedy link to send and receive data. do you believe in extraterrestrials?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah true. I do although we have never made contact. Even the ancient greeks wrote stories about them!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
i guess the skies seemed mysterious to them too. what is up there past the stars? they must have wondered. i figure that one day we will make contact, but not the way we expect.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I don't think we will. The president of the world chess federation believe chess was invented by aliens. That is certainly an odd theory lol.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
why aliens? it is not such a strange game. simple pieces, simple board, simple moves. complex strategy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes my thoughts precisely. Well at least we are prepared. The UN has a contingency plan just in case!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I dont have too much faith in that. the UN doesnt speak alien. And they would probably protect themselves.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah agreed. Maybe the USA needs its own plan? The sequel to charlie and the chocolate factory has aliens!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
What? that is strange. Aliens in a chocolate factory? Why? I guess the kids like aliens? Why not zombies? Anyway, great chat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Haha yes I question that same thing. They are all hypothetical life forms indeed. You have yourself a good rest of the day now.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Thanks, you too. Take care!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Bye now! Also the vatican owns its own observatory. I wonder if its secretly for finding aliens...<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello, do you like Astronomy?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do, but do not follow it closely. I did have the good fortune of seeing the 2012 annular eclipse when I was on a consulting assignment in Utah. And you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I also enjoy it when I can. A while ago, ancient babylonians understood astronomy so well, they were able to track planets with mathematical precision!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Its amazing that they were able to do that without the modern optics and computers we have today. It seems the interest in astronomy is so great that even the Vatican has an observatory!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I went to the Vatican a few years ago, and did not know that! Wi-fi was actually a byproduct of research into improving astronomy imagery.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I doubt the younger generation would know how to live without WiFi. They seem to live their life on the internet via social media. Did you know that Finland has made access to the internet a human right?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did not know it is a right in Finland! I agree with too much reliance now. I don't know how many will need this, but there is 3g service and internet capabilities at the peak of mount everest. So you can take the selfie up there before passing out.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
LOL. What amazes me is how people assume they can do anything, even on their employer's internet! Did you happen to hear about the criminal investigation that shut down the Sunspot Observatory in NM?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I remember when that was going on, didn't hear too much why initially. I know there were theories of Aliens?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well, it was not E.T downloading illegal materials; it was the janitor! I am glad the facility director got the FBI involved.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Definitely glad the FBI got involved! That janitor claimed someone been entering there to steal their internet service! Lol I don't think E.T would stop there now!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thankfully that is over and the observatory is back up and running. And, I hope they have upgraded their internet security! Do you think there is life out there that we do not yet know about?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do think how vast the galaxies are, that there has to be life somewhere else! In the X-Files aliens started to colonize Earth in 2012. That hasn't happened yet!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I find it interesting that the U.N. already has a contingency plan in the event aliens do make contact. People have been fantasizing about forever; an ancient Greek wrote about plant like aliens on the moon over 1800 years ago!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow that is a long time ago, and where humans were thinking about that! Tom Cruise believes in aliens, he built an underground bunker to protect himself from E.T.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Tom Cruise may be a popular actor but he also has very unique beliefs! Perhaps aliens are already here spying on us! Did you know that humans are a minority on the internet, being outnumbered by bots? Perhaps some are there collect info for their home world? LOL<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Lol!! I did not know that! Starting to get me thinking now! I do know I am one of the 7% that do try my best to read the full terms when buying something on the internet. lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I buy from a few online vendors who's terms I have read. While I may find a cheaper price at an unknown ecommerce site, is it real and what are the terms. Online, I do occasionally play chess with other players from around the world. Did you know the president of the world chess federation believes that chess was invented by aliens?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No I did not! Seems like a lot of people out there believe in alien life! Well anyways, it was nice talking to you! Have a great day!!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The internet may have a dark side, but I like the positive things it has done, like facilitating the sharing of knowledge. I like using the online star charts to help understand the night sky from time to time. I might do that tonight! Take care...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Thank you you also!<end_of_turn>

Hi! Are you a fan of cats?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea cats are awesome, in japan and taiwan they have cat cafes where you can have drinks and pet cats<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is pretty cool. It is crazy to think that when a cat reaches 15 years old it has spent 10 years of its life sleeping.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Sound like the life to be able to be able to sleep 10 years out of 15 like cats too<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They are pretty lucky that way. There is a cat that is published, but only because a physicist listed him as the co author so he could write in first person.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Lol thats pretty cool but not as cool as Talkeetna Mayor Stubbs<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Mayor Cat? Hmm... hed probably put nap time as mandatory. I could get behind that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He has been a mayor since 1997 so he has spent at least 10 years of his tenure sleeping<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He probably has, that is crazy. I wonder how that happened?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Maybe there is a large feral cat population up there<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is partly how the cat in the opening scene of the Godfather was a stray on the set.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea there are a lot of cats, the only pet with higher numbers are fish<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Kinda crazy, to think that there are that many cats in the world.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Theres a lot of cats and they are successful in many environments despite of 80 percent of the earth's natural forest being destroyed<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know for the short time humans have been on earth we have certainly destroyed a lot of the earth. There wont even be any helium left at the end of the 21st centruy<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder what is causing the earth to be helium-free by the end of the century, i guess there won't be many ballons left<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
True, we should probably conserve that now.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Maybe the UN should try to do something about, sounds more important than appointing an official ambassador to extraterrestirals<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder if that position will ever be used. I would feel somewhat silly telling people that is my job.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
An extraterrestrial ambassador sounds like a sweet job, or a good bar story<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
You could win tons of bets. Tell people you have the most outlandish job. Wins everytime<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
lol i guess so. Well i got to go, nice talking with you<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi, how are you? What do you think of this planet of ours?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hello, Great! Its very interesting!! Its upsetting about our natural forests being destroyed!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Ithink that we will destroy them all within the next 100 years. We cannot slow down. We want more and more<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Could be, very sad! I hope not though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Soon we will run out of helium. Earth will be virtually helium-free by the end of the 21st century. Where will it all go?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know, where? Interesting when the earth was formed a day was only 5.5 hours long!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Now it's longer and getting even longer. Soon the workday will be 20 hours. I will retire then.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
lol, good idea!! We have a time change on the 10th of March!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I totally forgot. I guess that I will lose an hour of sleep. Doh.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, spring forward. Do you like superhero's like Wonder woman?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like Wonder Woman. I did not see the recent film. I heard it was good.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't either, Gal Gadot was unaware she was auditioning for wonder woman, she thought it was for cat woman!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's great! She looks like Wonder Woman. She is in great shape and has the look.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think so. She's perfect for the part! I do like cat woman though too!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
She would do well in that too. When wonder woman first appeared as a member of the justice society in 1941, the group made her their secretary. That is pretty sexist! But typical for the day.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I was thinking the same thing! In 1953 Winston Churchill won a Nobel prize in literature.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess he was good at telling stories. I never knew that. He was quite a leader. I guess I should check out his works.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, he was half American and half British!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, I believe he got honorary citizenship or something. I dont remember. Anyway, great chat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, have a good night!! Good chat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Good night!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
You too!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi, how are you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
im great! how are you? do you like snakes?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Not really. I could move to new zealand and never see them again. What about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i dont like snakes but i dont hate. they are to be respected. they are part of nature<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
There is a genus of flying snakes! Nope!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That would be a hard no for me too. dang nature why you so scary LOL Crocodiles are more closely related to birds than they are to snakes and lizards. i guess i could move to australia<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Australia's got crazy too! I remember a story of huge birds dropping dead out of the sky. Or maybe they were bats. Anyways, huge flying things falling from the sky!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yeah, lots of scary things there. crocodiles are pretty scary, but they are not related snakes LOL<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Humans are not the only ones afraid of snakes. Monekys are too!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
monkeys are smart, they know what is dangerous! i bet a lot of creatures are afraid of snakes.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder if they can tell the difference between snakes and legless lizards.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i bet they dont care. they fear anything that is close. i know i would! by the way, do you go to concerts much?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do. Do you go to concerts much?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I used to go quite a bit when i was younger. now i dont really go. no time or money.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do not like the crowds any more. I like smaller venues and local music.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i dont like crowds either. not very intimate. i do like sitting near the stage and seeing the musicians up close.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am more of a bar guy at the bar, just listening and relaxing.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yeah, i hear you. music to unwind. not dealing with crowds and hassles. would you ever sue a band for a bad performance? i wonder how mad i would have to be.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Are you talking about Creed? I remember that on the news and I laughed out loud because that is something I can see scott stapp doing.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
they must have sucked incredibly to drive people to a lawsuit. they probably should have practiced a bit before touring.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He got stupid drunk before the show, passed out after 15 minutes, and then the show ended. Once he was sued, he called it performance art. Such a waste...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
thats terrible. the guy has a drinking problem and needs help. Anyway, great chat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Ditto! Have a great day!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi do you like Wonder woman movie<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea, Patty Jenkins did a great job directing Wonder Woman<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes pretty good one in the DC universe<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea, Gal Gadot was a perfect casting choice to play Wonder Woman<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes she is perfect. during audition she was not aware that she is auditioning for Wonder woman<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I never knew that. I also didn't know Wonder Woman's first film appearance was in the Lego Movie<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Gal gadot has seved in israel defence force . I thought she was paegent queen<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is pretty cool. Did you know Wonder Woman was the justice Society's secretary in 1941?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
no but it was the highest superhero origin movie. may be marvel movie may break this record soon<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Probably. Do you read literature? It used to be an olympic event<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes had read few . but FDA has burned 6 tons of literature in act of censorship. I dont think that was a good act<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is very strange, not as strange as the heavy metal as a form of literature course taught at Texas A&M<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
not they are in electronic form and burning is not that easy poor FDA<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is odd, I wonder if it had to do with the recent development of Romantic Kissing in literature<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
do you know that Winston Churchill won a nobel prize for literature<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, I figured he would win for peace, not literature<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
some things are hard to believe . Earth;s day was 5.5 hrs long when formed<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's pretty crazy, plus earth's magnetic field reverses every 200,000-300,000 years<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Gravitional interaction between Earth and Moon gradually slows its rotation<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Crazy, did you know earth is 4x as dense as sun? well nice talking with you<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
. We even have a ambassador for extra terrestrials .Nice talking to you<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Have a good one<end_of_turn>

Do you like poetry?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm not too into them. I heard that Ursula K Le Guin who is known for her science fiction and fantasy novels, finshed a collection of poetry before her death.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow i did not know that. Did you know that Demetri Martin wrote a 224 word palindrome poem?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Interesting! Le Guin, in her poem "Normal" talks about not feeling bad to crush others to achieve goals. But the poem wanted to demonstrat that we should not let destructive attitudes prevail<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ok. You know how much the famus author Edgar Allen poe received for the publication of the raven?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It was $9. Depressing! Speaking of depressing, there is one poem that when read normally is depressing but read backwards is inspiring.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow that's one i would like to read. Have you ever seen the movie the hobbit?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think I have. There is a book of poems by Emily Jungmin Yoon that seems quite depressing-it is about Korean comfort women in WWII in Japanese occupied territories.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow that most be a heart wrenching read. I asked about the hobbit because almost all the characters are named that were taken from an old Iceland poem Dvergatal.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Nice. Some poetry that i would like to learn more about is the javanese alphabet. It actually forms a poem when recited in order<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Now that is unique. Poetry has a long history dating back to prehistoric times.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh, how far back do they go?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well in Africa they used it while hunting.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Very cool. It seems humans have always used poetry to explore a deeper meaning in life<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Some of the earliest written poetry in Africa can be found among pyramids text written during the 25th century bc.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
People search for truth through literature, like Wiman, an editor of Poetry magazine, who suffers from blood cancer.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow i did not know that. are you a cat lover?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am not though I have a stray cat that is annoyingly cute that comes around and cuddles with me. Speaking of which, the cat in the Godfather opening scene was a stray that was found on set.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I hole they at least feed him. Apparently there a cat named Stubbs as the major of Talkeetna Alaska since 1997.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is interesting.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
To say the least! When a cat reaches 15 years old it has usually spent 10 years of it sleeping.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Ah, that is the life! I would love to go to a cat cafe where I could relax with cats and have a drink.<end_of_turn>

Hi. I think it's so fascinating to learn facts about the earth. Earth will be virtually helium free by the end of the 21st-century. I wonder what is causing that?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Good question! Humans only represent 1 minute and 17 seconds if the entire earths history was viewed as 1 day!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow that is hard to believe. And back when the earth was first formed a day was only 5.5 hours long.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is wild! Over 80% of Earths natural forests have been destroyed!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is quite sad. Only 20% remaining, well I hope we can conserve that at least.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hopefully! Do you think extraterrestrials will ever make contact with us?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't know that is a good question I think at some point but I don't know if it will be in my lifetime. There is definitely a lot of sightings in the literature but no specific evidence. The FDA once burned 6 tons of literature in an active US censorship.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is absurd! I love how there is a literature contest that challenges people to come up with the worst opening sentence to a novel.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is very funny I would love to read some of those sentences. One surprising thing is that romantic kissing is a fairly recent development and is rarely mentioned even an ancient Greek literature.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Very interesting. Love how Churchill won a nobel peace prize in literature and not peace.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah that is very interesting and something I did not know. He was a very smart man. Pretty cool he was able to accomplish that back in 1953.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Have you seen the Wonder Woman movie?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes I have it I thought it was really cool. Gal Gadot did a great job. DC comics must've been very impressed.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Definitely! She actually served in the Israeli Defense Forces for 2 years.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow she is really an amazing woman. Explains why the fight scenes were so realistic. When wonder woman first appeared as a member of the Justice society in 1941 the group made her their secretary. Oh how times have changed.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I did not know it was the highest grossing superhero origin movie!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah that is a huge accomplishment wow. It is also the highest grossing world war one movie.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Very impressive. I really did like that movie.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes it was a great one. 2017 was also a great year for movies and it was the first year since 1958 that the top three highest grossing domestic films were female lead.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Makes sense! Gal did not even know she was auditioning for wonder woman. She thought it was Catwoman!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Ha ha that is hilarious.Patty Jenkins was a great director of that movie. Well it was nice chatting with you have a good day.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
What are your thought on Tina Turner? I think she is really talented<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I remember her from childhood, I definitely think she is super talented! Such a unique voice. Have you ever been to her concert? I hear Linkin park did 324 concerts in one year!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Thats a lot like 1 concert per day if you exclude holidays, seems like a big toll on the band<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know right! crazy! also the ramones played a total of 2,263 concerts!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
A total of 2,263 concerts! wow, that must have taken them years,<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah its basically like they toured for over 20 years!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh that makes sense but still, 226 concerts per year is a lot, I wonder why they made it<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Probably for the money lol that must be taxing on your body and mental health too, thats like a non stop party for 20 years ugh.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, sounds demanding, so do you like the Walt Disney Company?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Absolutely, I love Disney. Do you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I love Disney as well, one of my favorite movies Big Hero 6,<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Nice! I have so many, little mermaid, aladdin, lion king, inside out, wreck it ralph, incredibles, frozen, moana.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Those are awesome movies as well, interesting fact about Big Hero 6, the movie was made with a super computer, 55000 cores<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
wow! Thats amazing. I like the city it is based in, san fransokyo lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like it too, a lot of creativity in the movie, another interesting fact is that minnie mouse is short for minerva mouse<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess that makes sense! Never thought it was short for anything lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That was a new fact for me as well, do you remember Bill Nye the science guy?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I do remember him, they guy who looks like steve martin haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah the same one lol, well he was the science consultant in the movie Flubber<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thats awesome! The wall-e movie name is a tip of the hat to walt disney.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It is, I didnt like that movie much but the name is nice.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Have you ever seen the film Wonder Woman?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I havent. I do want to though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, it's an ok film, it's actually produced by DC Entertainment, I think I'm a fan of Marvel more though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think I like Marvel better too. My favorite of all time is Deadpool though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh, I love that character! But surprisingly even with how not good it was, Wonder Woman managed to be the highest grossing superhero movie!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow, even higher than all the Batmans?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, and it's even considered a WWI movie, I wonder why though. Perhaps its because the actress, Gal Gadot, served two years as a soldier in the Israel Defense Forces?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is cool that she served. She seems to be a good role model for young girls.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
She really does. It's not a superhero thing, but Earth will be helium-free by the end of the 21st century, I wonder what kind of impact that would bring, do you know?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am not sure, it is probably something I should know. Humans have done a lot of damage to the planet.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I agree, especially when the FDA burns through six tons of literature in an act of US censorhip<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is so wasteful. Did you know winston chruchills prize was in Literature, not peace?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh really? Did he publish something to warrant the prize?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think he did. Dont know what though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
There's an annual literature contest that challenges writers to come up with worst possible opening sentences to novels, I wonder why, any guesses?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think there is a contest for that. Man, that must be fun to judge.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah seriously and very entertaining too! Romantic kissing was only a fairly recent development! How is that possible!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I dont know! I thought that was around for ages.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Seriously! Maybe that's why the FDA burned six tons of literature! But why does the FDA have jurisdiction over censorship of literature?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thats a good question. I am against all censorship.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me too, but maybe times have changed since then!<end_of_turn>

Hey! Do you enjoy Poetry? It's a form of literature that uses aesthetic and the rhythmic attributes of language.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hello there, yes I do enjoy some poetry for sure, how about yourself?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do too! I've even read some hunting poetry from Africa.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That sounds very interesting. Did you know Edgar Allan Poe only got $9 for his "The Raven" poem?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No that is amazing! I remember reading that in High Shool.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I will always remember that poem from a halloween episode of the Simpsons.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Some of the earliest written poetry comes from Africa, around the 25th century BCE.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am really interested in reading some of that it sounds so cool.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Do you like astronomy? I have always found Earth fascinating. It was formed 4.5 billion years ago! That's so old!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I love learning and reading about it, so cool. That is old! Did you know years from now the earth will be helium-free?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did not know that. I do find it sad however, that 80 percent of earth's forests have already been destroyed.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I think I read that somewhere as well. It is very sad to me to think about that, and I'm sure it will continue to be destroyed.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
We think of a day as being 24 hours long. But when Earth was first formed, a day was only 5.5 hours!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is crazy to think how much longer the days are now. Imagine going back to 5.5 days! You would feel like you lived a lifetime in a week lol.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
If earth's history was viewed in a 24 hour period. Humans would only represent about 1 minute and 17 seconds. Shows you how young we really are!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah that really makes you think! Did you know that 71% of the earth's surface is covered by water?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yea I have heard that. And the remaining 29% is land consisting of continents and islands.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah its just crazy thinking how vast the oceans really are. Did you know that we live on the densest planet in the solar system?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No I didnt. I would have thought it would have been Jupiter or something.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah same here, I would never had guessed that it was earth, so interesting.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Are you a Cat person? Did you know when a cat is 15 years old, they have spent about 10 years of that sleeping?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, but I don't mind them. That is astonishing, I guess they like to sleep a lot. Well it was nice talking with you today, I hope you enjoy the rest of the day.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Are you afraid of snakes?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
To be honest yes and I was born and raised in the country.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am afraid of snakes too so no judging here, I think its a rational fear<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I have a close friend raise snakes, he or she wouldn't never have to worry about me visiting, Hahaha.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I would stay as far as possible as well lol, a place to go if you hate snakes is New Zealand<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes you are right, some snakes are poisonous and some are helpful, they eat other snakes and Insects.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
There is a breed of flying snakes, that would be really scary like 5 times more scary than a regular snake<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes you are right, I heard a friend of mine that worked with wildlife said that snakes are more afraid of human as well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Are they? maybe there just pretending lol, so enough of snakes, do you like music? concerts?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes hahaha, I like concerts give me Bruce Springsteen, Elton John and Phil Collins, first three.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I went to a Linking Park concert once, it was a long time ago, and also to a Ramones concert, but other than that no<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I used to live in Las Vegas, that where I saw Elton John, can you imagine linkin park doing 324 concerts in 2001.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I cant, thats a lot of concerts, thats almost a concert a day if you dont count holidays,<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Where do these performance get their energy from, I am tired after doing one song when I am in church.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Probably a lot of drugs, that can be really helpful or so Ive heard<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I agree with you, I am not familiar with the group "The ramones" is this an all male group or male and female?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It was a male band, they all had Ramon as one of their names, not sure if they were family or if it was because of their artistic names<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow that's embarrassment in 2002 a creed concert was so bad four concert doers filed a lawsuit against the band.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I used to like that band a lot, too bad the concert was so bad they got sued, the band used to have a lot of talent and a couple of great songs<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They must have party all that night before the concert, many of these band members have problems like everyone else, sometime we all have bad days.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess they all had a pretty bad day the night or evening of the concert, I still like their songs though.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you like to read? Seems like Woman Who Fly is a great book<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I like to read occasionally. I have not heard of that, what is it about?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Its about tales of flying woman, mythologies, visions of female freedom and emancipation, seems like a book with a really original plot<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That sounds pretty cool and like something I would like. Did you know earth is almost 4x as dense as the sun?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No didnt know that, but I do know that it was formed over 4.5 billion years ago, crazy how we can tell with a carbon 14 test<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is crazy. There is a region in Canada with less gravity than the rest of the earth.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
There is? I guess theres a lot more to earth than what meets the eye, im just glad 71% of earth is water, I love water, the sea, rivers<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I love water regions too, especially the ocean. You could fit all the planets between the moon and the earth and still have room.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Amazing and it looks so close you raise your arm and try to touch it, days at earth when it first got formed were only 5.5 hours long<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thats pretty short. And I thought they were too short in the winter! Do you like to read?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do like to read yeah, what about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah. Did you know romantic kissing is a recent development and it is not found in greek literature.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No, I do like romantic kissing in movies, books, they give the story unique touch, did you know about that annual literature contest of the worst opening sentence?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, I bet those would be pretty interesting to hear. There's a doctor that teaches heavy metal as a form of literature.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow interesting, do you know who Winston Churchill is? well he won a novel prize because of literature.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, he's very talented. The father of modern olympics won a gold medal in literature for writing a poem about sports.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Thats interesting, literature, music, painting used to be events in the Olympic games.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I can't imagine what olympic painting was like! I wonder why they stopped doing it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is hard too imagine I agree, maybe thats why they took them out of the games in 1952<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, maybe. The latin word for literature is derived from the word letter.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
So much about literature I dont know, interesting chat.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Are you familiar with tina turner?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I know who she is. I heard she's coming out with a new book.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah she is an amazing women in history. I loved the song what's love got to do with it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's a really good song as so is "Proud Mary."<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah i like that one too along with nutbush.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Did you ever read her first memoir "I, Tina?"<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have not but i did see that movie it was riveting.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I haven't seen it nor read the book. I need to check them out.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
She's won three grammy's so far.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Do you feel like Ike was the worst thing that's happened to her?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Worst thing meaning her relationship with Ike?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I feel like they didn't get along.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah. I will say this he is a part of who she became. Am i not giving him credit for anything, look at joe jackson.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
After they got married in Tijuana Ike took her to a show without her consent.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I don't like him, i'm just impressed at how she became a butterfly.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
She showed her courage and became an inspiration for many women.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Indeed! I'll have to read that book i'm sure it's good! Do you know Kim .K?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know who Kim Kardashian is.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
What do you think of her Hollywood career?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
She's made a name for herself. Everyone knows who she is now.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
do you like snakes?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do. I actually have a red tailed boa.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Snakes are elongated, legless creatures. do you know there is a lizard with no legs? Wouldn't that just be a snake?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It seems like it would be called that. Someone told me there's several in my area, but I've never seen one.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would not want to. I hear there are snakes that appear to fly. Is that true?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That would be very, very scary.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I should probably move to new Zealand, they don't have any snakes there.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That would be nice. Well I have to run. It was nice chatting with you. Have a good night!<end_of_turn>

Hi, do you use Netflix?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am a subscriber yes, do you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I used to. I don't now. As of October 2018, Netflix has 137 million total subscribers worldwide, including 58.46 million in the United States. Amazing!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know, a lot of people subscribe to the service, still Netflix has a huge deficit<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess they have been spending tons of money. I know that Netflix spends 20 times more on postage than bandwidth.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder why? isnt there whole business model online?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess some parts of the country have little bandwidth. People need DVDs and such. Still, many online users. From 9pm to 12am, Netflix accounts for 33% of all bandwidth in north america.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
So Netflix also has the DVD service, interesting, I guess every subscriber counts, still seems a bit excessive, 20 more times!!!! and wow 33% really?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It seems to work. Netflix is now worth $2 billion.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They have $21.9 billion in debt, not sure if its a giant anymore, theres also new streaming services out there that are a threat to Netflix<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I expect them to have competitors. After racking up a $40 late fee on a vhs copy of Apollo 13, Reed Hastings was inspired to start netflix. Someone else will get inspired to take on Netflix.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Blockbuster gave Reed the knife then, they did charge excessive fees.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Probably a big part of their business model. Then they thought they could beat Netflix at the online game. Now they're gone! Bye bye, BB<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess the lack of vision really affected the company in end, tech keeps on advancing and businesses have to adapt in order to survive, but anyways do you like the Star Wars franchise?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, I do. It's interesting that James Earl Jones spent only 2.5 hours recording all of Darth Vader's lines and was paid $7,500<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Seems like someone got screwed over lol, only $7500 wow, his voice was terrifying<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
In 2013, Star Wars was dubbed in Navajo, making it the first major film to be dubbed in a Native American language. I wonder if James Earl Jones was involved with this.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I dont think so at least not for the $7500 he got paid originally, do you have a favorite Star Wars movie?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The second one, Empire. That one is my favorite. Then the first one.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Mine was the Return of the Jedi, do you also like Transformers?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't know them very well. Anyway, thanks for the chat! Have a good night!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi - do you like Netflix?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do like Netflix but not as much as I use to. It doesn't seem like they have been adding new shows lately<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I used to like it better also. I only use it because we get it for free with T Mobile.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Are you a big fan of Star Wars?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm not a huge fan. What about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No not really. I tried to watch a couple of the movies but I couldn't get into them like some people do.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Did you know Netflix accounts for 33% of all bandwidth usage in North America from 9pm-12am?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't know that but it doesn't surprise me. I guess its pretty popular around the world.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess so. Netflix and YouTube make up half the peak internet traffic in North America.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I watch more youtube than I do Netflix. Which do you prefer?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I prefer YouTube as well. Netflix spends 20 times more on postage than bandwidth<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think Neflix is over rated these days. It use to be pretty neat being able to stream movies. But then the cost went up and its not as awesome. Youtube is free and I can find lots more videos on random stuff.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree. Netflix is worth $2 billion though so they must be doing something right.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is true. Do you like the movie Transformers?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have never seen it, but I like Megan Fox. She's easy on the eyes. What about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I never watched it seemed to be pretty popular back in the day<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think it was popular. In the 2007 film, there are 1.53 explosions per minute.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well it was distributed by Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks. I think DreamWorks is the company that made Shrek.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think they are as well. I love DreamWorks films.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think they are a very good company also. Their animation keeps me pretty entertained.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It was good talking to you.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi. Do you watch Netflix?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do all the time.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me too! They have so many subscribers that they take up around a third of all bandwidth used at night!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's a lot, apparently they and youtube make up half of internet traffic during peek time in North America.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's incredible. I only started using them a few years ago but I think they've been around since 1997.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I've been a loyal customer since then and they have come a long way from the B-movie streaming they use to do.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, they have a bunch of original series now!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know blockbuster has to be kicking themselves for not purchasing when they had the chance.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Definitely! They could have bought it for only $50 million.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Right and to think they are worth 2 billion. I just watch the avenger infinity war on there. im a big marvel fan.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I haven't seen a lot of the Marvel movies,was it good?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Awesome!! you know hasting got the idea after he had to pay a large late fee.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I heard it was a $40 fee or so. I feel his pain. I did that a time or two myself back then.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Finally it got so bad i just had to find another store to rent from, haha! of the 137 million subscribers you mentioned, i believe that about 58 million are in the US.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's cool that they have a large international presence. They have offices in Japan and Brazil, too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah that's right and i think their first series was called Lilyhammer. an oxymoron if i ever heard one.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
True! I think that was made in 2012.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Since then it's like they have a new show new movie every other week.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It certainly seems that way. Some of them are really good, though! It's been nice talking to you, Have a great weekend!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
You too, thanks!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Goodbye!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
did you know between 9pm -12 am netflix accounts for a third of the bandwidth in north america<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I can believe that. My son watches movies all the time along with TV shows and Netflick originals. He got me hooked on Stranger Things.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
a guy racked up $40 in late fees on a vhs so he started netflix<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I remember the days of rentals. What a pain that was. Now we sit at home and just stream everything. I still like to get Netflix dvds cause I don't understand how to stream. My son laughs at me.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
well apparently netflix spends 20 times more on postage than bandwidth so maybe you aren't the only one!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, there's a lot of us old fogeys around. I liked them better before they changed their homepage. I find it very hard to find films anymore.Amazing that they are almost totally world-wide.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree. I hate the new set up. I didnt realalize netflix started its own content in 2012. I thought it was much more recent than that<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well at first I'm sure everyone thought that their self production shows would be like Japanese sci-fi films, not worth watching. but some of their shows are very highly rated.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
do you like star wars? james earl jones only spent 2.5 hours recording all of darth vaders lines and was paid $7500 i cant decide if that was a lot or a little in the 70s<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It was low for voice actors then but he certainly made the character more evil than anyone else could have. That series has made so many people rich. Especially George Lucas.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
in 2018 the total value for the star wars franchise was $65 BILLION. Thats insane<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes and that launched the career of many people, the most notable being Han Solo. The acting in the first was atrocious but got better as more movies were made. All told a great movie.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think its great that george lucas' wife marcia won an academy award for editing while george didn't win any for directing<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He got his through notoriety. I think everyone knows his name. Some of the lingo has worked it's way into our language. Did you know that watching that movie was what made James Cameron go into directing?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did not know that. In the original transformers movie there are 1.53 explosions per minute lol. Michael Bay must love to blow things up<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think so! Special effects have become a huge part of action movies now, along with CGI of course. I guess the dept. of Defense has big ideas about transformers.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
well those CGI effects took 38 hours to render one frame of movement<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm not a computer whiz but I have watched my son do his tricks as an IT expert and sometimes it takes him hours to resolve issues. I know that it would take me years to do one frame.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think the same is true for monster inc it took like a huge amount of hours just to make sullys arm move. I dont think I'd have the patience<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I hear that Bey's latest production "Bumblebee" is getting great reviews.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I cna't believe there are still movies considering optimus prime has died 25 times in the last 30 years<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I haven't kept track but I'm going to remember that fact as a trivia question. I guess Bey actually appeared in one of the films by being a person who gets swatted away.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
thats interesting<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi, how are you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm good thanks. I was reading about tennis recently. Didier Drogba is a soccer player that stopped a civil war in his home country.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I read the other day that they have used helicopters to dry off the fields for tennis<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow. It's really amazing what they will do for professional sports. And yet grunting in tennis can be considered cheating.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Really? I think they do that like every hit!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The best players seem too. LOL!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Maybe it gives them an advantage! I know a black man won in 1968, and none have won since, that is odd<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Was that Rodney Wallace's father?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am not sure to be honest... I have also heard a tennis player invented the polo!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That makes me curious about who invented table tennis. Apparently Ping Pong is the name of the company that sells table tennis equipment. It's not the name of the game. I was surprised when I heard that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is like the kleenex issue! Tennis is pretty much large scale ping pong!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Totally! Kleenex and Reynolds Wrap are brands that are so well known, their genre of products are known by the company name. Kind of like Association Football is known just as football, even if it's not a part of the Association.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Apparently we call that soccer because it was slang for Association football!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Huh. I did not know that. I always wondered where the term soccer came from.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
there also is a version of soccer where 3 teams play at once!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hmmm. If soccer players run an average of 7 miles per game, and they add a third team, I wonder, will that make them run closer to 10 miles?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
most likely! that is a lot of running! a lot of people play though, over 250 million<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It's amazing. All those people who play, but there are still some who shine. Rodney Wallace, for example, made 101 international appearances over 14 years.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
he represented his country well! that is a lot of games!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree. He was born Costa Rican, but he has become an American.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that is a great thing for him, I am sure that was one of his dreams. hard work pays off!<end_of_turn>

Hi, how are you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi I'm good, did you know that only one black man has ever won the us open tennis tournament?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Arthur Ash? I did not know that though. Thanks for sharing?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
it might be, I'm not 100% sure, do you like tennis though? I do and I play actually<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like it and used to play. I do not play any more though. how often do you play?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I play in the summers we play a couple times a week, we play this game called pickleball a lot too its similar to tennis, did you hear that in 1969 they used helicopters to dry off the grass tennis courts, thats funny<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I had no idea. I am in parks and recreation and pickleball is a huge sport for us. At least compared to some other sports.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
ah nice have you ever played? its more action packed and easier than tennis I think<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have not but it does look fun. I am usually working when they are playing and would feel like too much of a slacker if I played instead of worked.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
haha ya you have to work so thats fair, can you believe the longest tennis match ever lasted 11 hours spread over 3 days, I would be so tired<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think that was john isner, no?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
oh I'm not sure, I would hate to be the loser of that match though? It does seem like you know a lot about tennis players<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I watch way too much sports. If it is a big moment in sports, I know about it. I wish I watched less tv though but I love sports so much.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
ya I agree, do you know the origin of the polo shirt? like who invented it and such?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do not. Was it Ralph Lauren?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
well it was created by a tennis player named Rene lacoste actually, and his nickname was the crocodile<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think I did know that, or at least now that you explain it to me it make sense. Lacoste is popluar attire for tennis.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
ya you're right, do you know any soccer facts? thats one sport I never watch haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
European soccer is on before college football and the nfl so I watch it on saturday and sunday mornings. I also watch the MLS. I do not know a ton of trivia though. Do you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
well I do know the city that will host the 2022 world cup doesn't exist yet, they have to build the whole city<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Qatar. Im going to quit while I am ahead. Nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi there do you like association football?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi there I actually do. Do you know why it is called soccer in the US?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah it is actually just a slang that stuck around<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah pretty interesting. Jon Steward used to be a soccer player too<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah he represented the US in the panamerican games in Brazil back in the day<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah pretty cool. It is a good sport to be in, they make more money than many other sports combined.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah it seems that way. Did you hear that German player donated his earnings from the World Cup?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah he helped 23 little children in Brazil, what a human being<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah very heartwarming. Did you know there is a variation of soccer with 3 teams<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow that would be interesting to watch. Do they need three goals then?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am curious too. Do you know where the World Cup will take place in 2022?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know that it is going to be in Qatar but I do not think they have the city ready for it yet<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah that is strange indeed. The US men's team got third place once in 1930<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah but after that it was all down. But the women's team is doing pretty well<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes they have never placed below 3rd. so good for them<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah they sure are good. THere are no economic gains though for the host countries<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
And yet they bid to have it there, Hmm does not make much sense. Do you like tennis ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do , as much as I like polo shirts and we have tennis to thank for that<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes that is true, Rene Lacoste to be more exact. Glad the other adopted the style too<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes very true. Do you know how long was the longest match?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yes it lasted 11 hours and they had to stretch it over 3 days<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hey! Did you watch FIFA World cup the last summer?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hey yeah I caught some of it. I love it because it is an international competition!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm wondering about 2022 in Qatar. They even didn't build city for the final. It's small country actually.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah they better get going. They promised air conditioned arenas that would reduce temps by 30 degrees celsius!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
But I guess the decision to make it not in the summer 2022, but in low season like February or November. However, there is conflict with major championships. Anyway it would be fun. Do you watch tennis?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I definitely enjoy watching tennis. Back in 1978 they could use anything for a racket-that would make it more interesting!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Do you know that the longest match in history was 11 hours or about 3 days to play? It's incredible!!!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow they must have been exhausted. Whereas the longest point was a 643 point rally lasting 29 minutes!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess if in 2019 they make video how a helicopter is used to dry the glass tennis courts, it is going to be viral everywhere! haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh that is so cool I wanna look that up! Ping pong is like tennis but it isn't the sports name. The sport is actually called table tennis.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
do you play table tennis?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I do it's a fun sport. you? I think it's funny how some people consider grunting before a tennis shot to be cheating.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
True. I used to play a lot in my school years, but just don't remember when I played the last time. I didn't kniw that Lacoste was invented for tennis players. I was always sure for polo players, but they just adopted it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah same. I never knew the tennis ball was covered with felt, I thought it was a different type of material.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I've read something about it. Anyway despite all, soccer makes much more money that football, basketball, baseball, golf, tennis and hockey combined. I'm not surprised.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah it is such a global sport! On average soccer players run 7 miles per game. No wonder they are in such great shape.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, it's quite average for 90 min game. I honestly say football, not soccer, because I more interested in this sport and all people in the world call it football. It was slang in US and this is why we call it this way.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Interesting. Yea I always wondered that. Oddly enough Greenland can't join Fifa because not enough grass grows there.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha. It's nice. They are part of Denmark actually. Do they have enough men for 1 team? haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Good question! What's even crazier is the superbowl is smaller than soccers (or football for you) 3rd biggest event.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, I can believe in it. It was nice to chat with you. Have a great day!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
You too! Have fun watching the next world cup in qatar!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Did you watch the Pacific Rim Uprising movie?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hello there, no I have not see it, is it any good?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did, I thought it was pretty good, the first movie was better though, had more action<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I will have to check it out sometime then if I get a chance. Are you a big user of Netflix?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am a big user, I have an account and use it almost every day, mostly after 9pm, what about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No I don't have an account currently. So you are one of those that make up using all that bandwidth during peak hours lol.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am a part of that group, yes, lol, its also YouTubes fault as they together with netflix they take upon half of the internet traffic<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I can totally see that, YouTube is so popular among younger people it's crazy to me.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It is really popular, just like Netflix is, its amazing how the service has 137 million subscribers around the globe<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
And that number is still growing, thats so many. But, it is quality stuff, you get access to an insane amount of content.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree, you get more than what you pay for, I used to spend a lot of money on rentals and those late fees were a real pain to pay<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I think that is why Hastings started the company in the first place, he was in your same shoes.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Could be, so he must hate Star Wars then, do you like the franchise?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I grew up watching the movies years ago when I was a kid, I still think the ones from the late 70's/early 80's are the best ones. How about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do too, I think old movies are the best ones, I love Star Wars personally, I dont like the new movies as much though,<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I'm the same way when it comes to that. It is hard to replicate, and I know the Star Wars fans are so hardcore and hard to please as well!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I agree with you, its amazing how much the franchise is worth though, 65 billion dollars!!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah that is an insane amount. I wonder how much it was worth back in the 1990's?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I bet not much, at least at the beggining 20th Century Fox didnt have much faith in the movie, that lack of faith cost them millions<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah they dropped the ball, Disney sure spent a bunch but i'm sure it will all pay off in the long run.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They need to improve the movies, have more jedis in them, do you like Transformers?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I agree with that for sure. No, I have only seen about 5 mins of one of the films. How about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like the series, I thought the first movie back in 2007 was the best one though and didt like the The Last Knigh premiered in 2017<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I will have to check that one out sometime then. Well it was nice talking with you today.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Have you ever seen Keeping up with the Kardashians?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I know bits and pieces. I know Kim was born 10-21-80.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, it's basically just her and her family doing everyday life things. Did you know she named her baby Chicago?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I did know. It is a nod to Kanye's hometown and the city is special to K & K so the name is perfect because baby Chicago was hard to conceive so she is extra special as well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's a pretty sweet meaning. Did you know Kim used to be Paris Hilton's personal assistant?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I did know. That is how she first gained media attention but after her 2003 sex tape was leaked in 2007 she really became popular.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know one of my kids used to play the Kim Kardashian app on their phone. I think it came out in 2014.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Sorry about that, I accidentally pressed enter. I haven't used the app, but I have heard of it. She was also in a fall out boy music video. I wonder which song?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I did not know she was in a music video. I know after the 2007 sex tape leak she and her family began appearing on E! reality TV show Keeping up With the Kardashians.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, that's a really lucky break for releasing a sex tape. I'm pretty sure her mom released it on purpose.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Maybe. I know Kim is on the 2015 Time Magazine's list of 100 most influential people.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
She definitely has a lot of influence. She recently met with trump to discuss prison reform.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I did not know that, but good for her. I know she also has a book about how she is a trailblazer of the selfie movement.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, she's definitely a busy and hardworking person. Speaking of celebrities, did you know Judge Judy makes $123,000 an episode?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Holy cow! That is a lot of money! I wonder where she rates on Hollywood's likability "q score"? I know Tom Hanks rates a 48, while Kim's is a -71, which is hilarious.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I've never heard of a q-score, but it sounds really interesting. I think most of the Kardashians are probably not good in relations to likability.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I would have to agree. I know critics and admirers have described her as exemplifying the notion of being famous for being famous.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, she doesn't have a lot of actual talents. Just being wealthy and now famous. They are always coming up with new ways to stay in the spotlight.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I agree. Although she is reported to be the highest-paid reality personality of 2015 with her total earnings exceeding $53 million.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, I guess I would do some silly stuff like that if I was making that much money off of it. It was nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Have you seen the movie Solaris?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No. Do you know anything more about it?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I just think the theme is fascinating ... the tension arising from floating around a planet, but never landing. Have you felt that way in life?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No. I did learn lately that our planet is also called Gaia.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh, I mean, where you're constantly in flux and you see everyone else with concrete life happening and making progress ... and you're not.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I read about a planet that orbits 4 stars. Perhaps that would parallel the concept you are discussing. The direction would be hard to determine.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Interesting. I've heard of dual-stars, but this is four? Normally planets just have the one star, so that would be extraordinary.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Clearly the universe is amazing. Early humans could study it some since 5 planets are visible to the naked eye.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't think I could tell the difference between them. But just imagine having the time and attention to discern that there are five different ones, all without photography!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No doubt! Previous generations were intelligent too. As long ago as 1975, the Soviets sent a spacecraft to Venus and mankind saw pictures of the surface.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'd say they were smarter. I think the current generation only feels smart because we've got all this technology and knowledge at our fingertips. So then, we feel like we can fill all our time with comedy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Great point. They created wealth that allows free time in our lifetime. Evan Almighty was a comedy that had a budget of $200 million.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
And what else could be done with $200 million? Probably something much more important.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think that it is neat that it can be done. The $200 million did not disappear. Cameramen, actors and many others received income from it. It is not as respected as some other genres. It has been 37 years since a comedy won Best Picture.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
True. What film was that? For as popular as comedies are, you'd think it would not have been so long.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't know the film. However, The Empire Strikes back was nominated for best comedy in 1981 by the Writers Guild. That is strange.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Calling something a comedy when it's not really makes you think about it ... have we all been viewing it wrongly? Such organizations sometimes get it wrong, like when 3rd Rock from the Sun won for best comedy series over Seinfeld, Friends, and Frasier in 1997.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
What do you call 3rd Rock? Satire is comedy also.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'd call it comedy, satirical for sure, but just not better than Seinfeld.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh! I agree with you on that. Awards have a political factor in decision making. I saw that Drew Carey did stand up in the Marines for 8 years before he started making money from comedy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Sometimes it takes while to get it right and then cash in. I'm glad some networks like Comedy Central take risks and then cancel shows if they flop. They've cancelled over 100 shows in the past three decades.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow. That is a lot of shows to cancel. We have so many channels now that most shows that are good can find an audience.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
And enough people willing to explore them all until they find them. If you asked me to watch tv from another country to find something I like, it would take me weeks. Americans seem to just put in that effort on a regular basis.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well. I think I will go now. Enjoyed the talk!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
What's up? Are you into pop music? It originated during the mid-1950s<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes very much so.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Until the 1960s rock and pop were considered the same<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
right ! and do you know that korea has its own k-pop band which is the most popular musical group in the country<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yea, Moranbong band I believe<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes thats right. and another cool fact is that the president of indonesia has released 3 pop albums while in office ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Lol that's nuts. I didn't know Ricky Gervais was a pop singer in the 80s, it's hard to imagine<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i know ! i never would have thought that either!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Apparently scientist voted "We are the Champions" as the catchiest pop song, I wonder how they came up with that<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
im not sure , but they are probably right.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess they concluded that pop has grown louder and increasingly musically homogeneous since the mid-1960s<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes and in 2002 CREED ocncert was so bad that four concert goers filed a lawsuit against the band! wow !<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't blame them, I don't much like Creed myself.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes they are !, it was great talking to you about music, i loved it , thank you<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No problem. Did you know the Ramones played 2,263 concerts? That's wild<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes thats pretty wild!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Apparently they toured non-stop for 20 years<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
cool! and did you know that when eddie van halen recorded the guitar solo for Beat it that he literally set the speakers on fire<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Lol, no but that's awesome. Pink Floyd recorded a live concert with no audience<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
wonder if they were just practicing ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't think so, they did it in the ancient roman amphitheater in pompeii.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
thats really interesting , thank you for the conversation. good bye<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
See ya<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
good bye<end_of_turn>

peace<end_of_turn>

Hello how are you today?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hello, I am good. How are you? Do you listen to jazz music?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like all music. Did you know jazz originated in the African American communities of New Orleans in the late 19th and early 20 century.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i think I did know that. Seems like I've seen a movie that referenced it. Didn't they combine jazz with some brass band marches or something?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It has roots in blues and ragtime. It is now recognized as a major form of musical expression.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm glad. It's world wide now too. Pakistan has a jazz orchestra!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Cool jazz actually originated in the 1940s. It introduced calmer smoother sounds and long linear melodic lines you hear in todays jazz.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i like that. There's a lot of good music from the 40s.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Were you aware that Clint Eastwood is a lifelong jazz enthusiast.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No I wasn't. i guess going by the characters he plays in movies I just never made the connection.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh he is a big fan. He even scored several films including million dollar baby. That is a great movie.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He did? What instrument does he play?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think he played a few different instruments. There is a woman in Harlem who has held free jazz concerts at her apartment every Sunday or over 20 years.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's cool. I bet she's pretty good to last that long.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
She occasionally has top performers stop by. I wonder if Clint has ever checked it out.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
You never know. He's a top performer if he can do a movie score.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I just figured it would be something that would interest him. Did you know jazz trumpeters grow out their goatees because it provides comfort while playing their instrument.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No lol! I just assumed it was for fashion.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
So what do you think about Judge Judy making 123000 dollars per episode. I heard she retired not to long ago.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That surprises me. I mean, i'm shocked she made so much money and that she retired.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
She was the highest paid celebrity behind Lebron James. I cant believe she made that much.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I can't either. I knew her show was popular but not that popular! Well, I've got to go for now. It's been nice chatting with you! Have a great day!<end_of_turn>

Hey did you know that Queen's guitarist has a PHD in astrophysics? thats crazy<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow. That's cool. Much cooler than, say, playing the accordion...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Do you play any instruments? I gave up videogames and started playing the piano a couple years ago, and I haven't looked back since haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, unless you count an mp3 player. I do love music except of stuff like accordions. I definitely wouldn't pay $25 a ticket for that kind of music.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No, and it's shocking that a creed concert was so bad that people filed a lawsuit against them, on the other hand I don't really like creed so I'm not that surprised haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow, they must have been really buzzed. I don't know if Creed is considered pop but I mostly like alternative and stuff off the beaten path. You?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I really like classic rock and 80's, I can listen to almost anything except country, I do like pink floyd a lot and that's awesome they did a live concert to no audience haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do like 80s stuff like REM and the B52s... I even go back further once in a while and listed to Pink Floyd as recorded on a floating recording studio.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ha I would love to do that, I do like Queen, I didn't know their guitarist uses coins as guitar picks, did you see the new movie that came out about Queen?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Loved Freddie and his band... I haven't seen the movie yet but want to... Did ya know that scientists declared "We Are the Champions" the catchiest pop song of all time. Scientists?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha like how do you measure that? It is catchy but I would think it would be another song, ti's scary that lincoln park has done 324 concerts in 2001, that's almost 1 per day that sounds exhausting<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yep. That's crazy. They must like doing it cause that has to take its toll. I guess performers like that go all the way back to ancient Greece and Rome. We still use their acoustic designs for venues/amphitheaters.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes that is probably why Pink Floyd played the live concert in that Roman amphitheater, even though there was no one their the acoustics must have been amazing, it's shocking they didn't record a video at least<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No kidding... I would like to see that. Pink Floyd is very creative but on the dark side. While I'm not big on pop at least it's mostly upbeat albeit mind numbing...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
ya it is, pop music is good in small quantities for me, I like more complex stuff but pop music is good to pass the time and for parties<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah… I prefer guitars and amped up stuff to most R&B, rap and hip-hop.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I can't believe that the Ramones played a total of 2,263 concerts so far that is a massive number.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, makes ya wanna get sedated huh? That's cool... Can't believe Eddie Van Halen set speakers on fire... Something tells me there's more to it that his playing like maybe he had it turned up to "11"<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Ya see that is awesome, I can't believe teh president of indonesia has released 3 pop albums, I want to see trump release an album just to hear what that would sound like haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Something tells me that Trump singing may be accompanied by an accordian.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
haha ya I wonder what instrument he would play, did you know that Ricky Gervais was a pop singer in the 80's?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, don't even know who he is? I thought it was weird that the CIA sponsored a music event (Coupe Mondiale).<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is wild.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello, do you know much about cinematography?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Not really, I'm an avid movie watcher. I have heard of Roger Deakins who constantly is getting nominated for awards.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh ok, I havent heard of him. Thats great though, hes been nomiated times.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Do you like visiting D.C.? They have over 250 restaurants and a Summer Restaurant Week.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I have never been there. I did read that recently. Did you know no woman has ever been nominated for the academy award for best cinematography?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That will probably change soon. I didn't know Stanley Kubrick was involved with Spartacus.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me either. do you like comedy?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. I can't believe the Green Lantern was going to be a comedy with Jack Black!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah thats weird! Not sure it woldve made it better though lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Couldn't have hurt much. :) I was surprised to know that the Python programming language was, in part, named after Monty Python.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah thought that might have been a coincidence. I guess comedy central has not been doing great, It has cancelled over shows!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That or they're picky. Bill Murray isn't so picky. He thought the "Kung Fu Hustle" was super great.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It was a great movie!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am an amatuer astonomer and Jupiter's moon Ganymede fascinates me since it is big enough to be a planet.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is really big!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Another one is that Uranus is actually rotating on its side. Many think it was involved in a major collision.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh thats interesting. and the accident threw it off axis? If it rotates on its side, does that mean there is an area that doesnt get any sun?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, the sunlight is in weird time patterns on the poles. I guess the building blocks of life (e.g., RNA) have been detected on a planetary system 455 light-years away.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Do you know what planet it is where shards of glass rain sideways in 2000 degress fahrenheit?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I would guess one of the outer ice planets - probably Neptune. Venus doesn't have seasons or that kind of wind.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
interesting, thanks.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thank you. You were a great chat partner.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hey, how's it going? Are you a fan of Phil Collins at all?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea Phil Collins is a pretty good singer, I never knew he was in the beatles movie "A Hard Day's Night"<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I liked Genesis in particular, back when he was paired up with Peter Gabriel. Though they've both had solid solo careers.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea, it's crazy Collins sold 100 million in Genesis and as a solo act<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Do you have a favorite song from Phil Collins or Genesis?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I really like the 1984 hit "Against All Odds"<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm a big fan of Invisible Touch. That was after Peter Gabriel left and it more just Phil Collins leading the way. Right before he went solo.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea, "In the Air Tonight is also a great song, it's cool that Collins 17 year son gets to play concerts with his dad<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Are you more a fan of pop or rock music?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Probably Rock music but they were basically the same thing until the late 1960s<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Did you know Rick Gervais was a pop singer in the 80's? I can't picture it lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, that's pretty funny. In Japan they have 100 % cgi pop stars<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Pop music is huge in Asia. Especially k-pop. I think there's a boy band from Korea even going around in the US now<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder if their songs use the same 4 chords as most pop hits in the US<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I bet it does. Do you remember that band Creed? Man they were awful.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea they were, they sounded much worse than the 4 chords always used in pop songs<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Apparently once they were so bad that four of the people that attended a concert sued them for being bad.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Lol that's pretty funny. Did you know Deep Purple broke the record for the loudest concert?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Nope, that's pretty cool! Loved that song Smoke on the Water.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea it's a great song. It's weird Abba turned down 1 billion dollars to do a reunion tour<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is weird. It was nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Are you a fan of pop music?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i do like pop music. You?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I love it, it became popular in the states around the 60s right?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i guess? i dont know what the definition of pop music is. i figure there must have been stuff in the 50s too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Do you have a favorite pop artist?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i dont, but recently i was listening to xtc. they did an album called oranges and lemons.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He did? one of my favorites is Rikey Gerwais he used to be a big deal back in the 80s<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i did not know that he did pop music. i thought he was a comedian.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He was a pop singer in the 80s really talented in fact, pop music has grown a lot louder since the 60s<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
it sure has. the amplification systems have improved substantially.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It has, my favorite pop song is We Are the Champions and its actually voted as the catchiest song by a group of scientists<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yeah, have you seen the movie about queen? that song shows up. it sure is catchy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did watch that movie, thought it was really cool, liked it alot<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
it was a fun film. Rami won an oscar for his performance. i wish i had seen queen in concert.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think Remi diserved it, he nailed the role and I wish that too, have you been to any great concerts lately?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
no i have not. no money for it. i used to go quite frequently when i was younger.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Did you ever go to a Ramones concert?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i wish i had. those guys were always touring. i missed my chance.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I missed mine too and also the chance to watch Linkin Park live, they performed 324 concerts in 2001 alone<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
those kids were great! that is an insane effort on their part. i wish i had seen them. too. Anyway, great chat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Really hard, 1 concert per day, the toll it must have taken on them and I agree its been a great chat, thanks a lot.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
I am not a super Phil Collins fan-are you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hello there, I am not but he does have a few good songs.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He has done a lot of stuff. I am more of a Mick Jagger person. I think the era of mega stars like that is over. Too bad.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah Mick was awesome, the Stones had so many great hits over the years. I can't believe they still tour! That is impressive!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He is my age and I can't even get out of bed in the morning. He's a marvel.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Lol, yeah and their shows are like 2 hrs i'm pretty sure, that is so nuts. Do you attend many concerts these days?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Not now-too expensive. The first time I saw Led Zeppelin was at a place called The Boston Tea Party. They had just come to America and no one knew who they were. It was a small Club so I got to see them up close.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is awesome, they were one of the best ever, very jealous of you.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I saw a lot of people there. Andy Warhol was a sponsor. I think I liked BB King the best. But I don't remember Phil Collins.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow, that sounds like an amazing time. BB King would be awesome to see as well. I have only been to smaller bands, I did see Radiohead play though, that was pretty cool, but to be honest I mainly went to see the opening band!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It was easy to see everyone in the Sixties. Tickets were cheap and a lot of people played on the Boston Common. Judy Colling and Joan Baez used to sit on the sidewalk in front of the Harvard Coop and play for free.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow, that is so awesome, most of the music I listen to comes from the 60's, I would have done anything to see Marc Bolan or Syd Barrett perform live.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like Pink Floyd! I don't see that We are the Champions is the catchiest tune ever. That makes no sense.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Good call! Yeah I don't agree with that at all. There are plenty more catchy tunes from the 50's and 60's I would say.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would have liked to see Pink Floyd in a Roman Amphitheater. I bet the sound was really good.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah that would have been cool, so many concerts over the years that would have been amazing to attend.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I used to like the music really loud but I saw Led Zeppelin (after they got to be famous) at the Boston Garden and it was too loud. Ever one lit little candles-you couldn't do that now. The Fire Marshall would have a heart attack. lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah imagine them trying to do things like that now, no way! So, be glad you got to experience it like that I would say.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Everyone was friendly and there was no trouble. Can you imagine?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah exactly, now days there are always people to ruin everything, and it can't just be fun and simple anymore.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
You are right. Sad but true. Nice talking to you.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah same here, hope you have a good day.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi There! Do you like movies?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I like movies, it is a form of art. .<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
This is interesting..Even though spartacus had a cinematographer, stanley kubrick took the camera away from him and did it himself.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
You have to do it yourself, he was very talented, I saw some of his films, but never Spartacus, is it good ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It is! But this is interesting too..even though he did almost none of the work, when spartacus got the academy award for best cinematography, it went to the credited cinematographer, and not kubrick.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Probably, some kind of union thing, like he was not an official cinematographer. I wonder if they gave him something for it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Thats a good question! No woman has ever been nominated for the academy award for best cinematography.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess it is because there is not many female cinematographer because they would not hire them. Sexism still exist.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is terrible. A woman has never even been nominated.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, do you see movies made by a woman ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I haven't paid attention to that. I'll have to now. Cinematographer roger deakins has been nominated 13 times for the best cinematography oscar, and has never won.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He was good but not enough, did he do any comedies ? I like those kind of film.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't think he did. Do you like Bill murray? Bill murray thinks kung fu hustle is "the supreme achievement of the modern age in terms of comedy".<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I like Bill Murray, Chinese comedies can be really funny. But I never saw kung fu hustle. Did you ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
no, not my type of movie! I do like Jack black though. The green lantern film was originally going to be a comedy starring jack black<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That would have changed the tone of the movie, he is very slapstick.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Some of his stuff is good, Some bad. Did you watch 3rd rock from the sun?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I did when I was young, it was good but not memorable, not like Seinfeld.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
3rd rock from the sun won the golden globe for best comedy series in 1997, beating seinfeld, friends, and frasier.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is surprising and not surprising at the same time, we don't know what will stand the test of time, disco was not forever.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
True! Wow! Comedy central has cancelled over 100 shows since its creation in 1989<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
You have to try new thing and not be afraid to admit your mistakes. Comedy central would have been bankrupt if they continued to produce those 100 unfunny shows.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
True, I learned this the other day..The creator of the python programming language named it partly to honor british comedy group monty python<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Do you like Monty Python ? I like absurd comedy, so I like them.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Not really, I never really understood it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Don't worry I don't think I would find funny an ancient greek comedy. Everyone has his own tastes.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Very true. Do you know anything about plantes?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't know I know we live on Earth. have a good day.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
you too!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you enjoy music?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. I love Jazz music but I also have a love for Kanye West songs.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Jazz is amazing. I love how it maintained its core essence, yet amalgamated with local musical culture to generate countless distinct styles<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. I listen to it every night when I eat dinner. I have really gotten into Modal jazz. Most people like Jazz-rock, but I'm more of a 1950's guy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think all you mentioned are great, but personally I enjoy how cool jazz has developed<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Are there any particular cool jazz groups you like?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Not in particular, but I do enjoy the calmer smoother sounds and linear melodic lines. Looking at jazz overall, my favorite probably would be frank sinatra<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Kanye West often compares himself as the modern day Frank Sinatra.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I will admit both made their mark on music, but I like Sinatra more<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Do you see yourself jealous of Kanye's success? I sometimes do. He has Kim Kardashian, hot and a money maker.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well I won't deny I would desire money and success, however, their lives of living under the microscope and being stalked by paparazzi sounds too stressful<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Even if you get all the tea's in the world? I guess it's bad for their children who have to be subjected to the awful names and filmed. I can't believe they named their child Chicago.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't think that is too bad. I know a family whose last name is trout so the father named his sons red and brown<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Were their English limited or do they have some psychological problems...? Do they not understand the damage they can cause the children? These odd baby names, although originated from somewhere is really bad for the kids.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They said that it was terrible when young, but very helpful when they became adults since everyone remembered them positively. I think it's better than hashtag<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess so. The kid can build character based on these names/nick names.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
There are also a lot of people trying to name their children after celebrities or characters in films like rocky<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wish i had Celebrity income. Judge judy makes $123,000 per episode.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
True. I mean Kim Kardashian had earnings of 53 million to date<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I would also get special access, did you know pixar studio has a secret room visited often by celebrities?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's cool I wonder what is inside. In any case, thank you for the amazing chat.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
I just read a section on comedy which states that the python program was partly named after Monty Python. I love how they did that!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah the programming language I think is what you mean. Classic comedy. Kung Fu Hustle is a brilliant comedy also.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I've actually never seen it, whats it about?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It's a wacky cartoony slapstick comedy. Bill Murray loves the movie too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
i'll add it to my list of movies to watch. Bill Murray is such a great comedian, unfortunately I don't think he's been in movies as of late. Green lantern is on my list of movies to watch too, weird to think that it was initially going to be a comedy<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I think Jack Black was supposed to star. Hard to believe that 3rd Rock beat Seinfeld for best comedy in '97 at the golden globes<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I've actually never even seen an episode of 3rd rock. Seinfeld was revolutionary, are you more of a Seinfeld or Friends fan?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Seinfeld by far. Friends doesn't hold up very well for me. I wonder if it would have been one of the 100 shows Comedy Central cancelled over the years if it had been on that channel. You? Friends or Seinfeld?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
perhaps! I'm actually more of a Friends fan myself lol. It's interesting how much tv shows and movies have changed over the years. Even just through more advanced filming abilities and styles. Shout out to James Wong for pioneering the use of wide-angle lenses amongst other things<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He was quite the pioneer despite the racism.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
he had a lot to overcome and still won an Oscar. I've read in other articles that the Oscars are pretty racist too, not recognizing talented individuals due to their race.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
There are definitely some problems. A woman has never won best cinematographer, or even been nominated.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
that's some crazy stuff. It even must be frustrating with Roger Daekins for being nominated 13 times and never having won<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
And the guy who was supposed to be the cinematographer for Spartacus didn't actually do the work and won the academy award.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'd be pretty angry if that happened to me lol. Have you heard of Gavin Free before reading about him?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah he did slo-mo cinematography on Hot Fuzz.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
interesting, Hot Fuzz was a good movie. I thoroughly enjoy comedies<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah it was. Comedy is a great art form. It all started back in ancient Athens.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Its interesting how the change of definition of "planet" meant that Pluto was no longer a planet.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm still bitter about that. I never want to visit the one that rains shards of glass at 4500mph.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
thats such an unusual characteristic of a planet. Sounds like complete chaos there lol AND it's 2000 degrees farenheit. insane.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Maybe we'll make it to Ganymede someday. It's a Jupiter moon big enough to be a planet. Cya!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
thanks for the conversation!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Sure!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
bye!<end_of_turn>

Do you happen to enjoy pop music?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do, I like Queen myself. Did you know that it's been scientifically proven that "We Are The Champions" is the catchiest pop song of all time?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did not but I love Queen. Are you familiar with K-pop?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm kind of familiar with it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me too. There are several songs that stick in my head It's catchy. There is a K-pop band called Moranbong Band that is the most popular music group in the country. I am not familiar with their music.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I've never heard of them before. I heard that rejection letters from Sub Pop Records to aspiring artists start with "Dear loser." That's kind of disheartening.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow! I new they were an edgy company but that's harsh. Did you know that Ricky Gervais was a pop singer in the 80's? I cannot picture that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I've heard that and I can't believe it. I'm glad he stuck with comedy instead of that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me too. Do you like to attend concerts?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do, I'm actually attending one next weekend. I wish I could have been at the Foo Fighters concert that was so loud it showed up on New Zealand's seismic monitors!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didn't know that happened. I do love the Foo Fighters though. Did you know that in 2001 Linkin Park played 324 concerts because their album was so successful?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh wow, that's alot of concerts. That album is one of my favorites. Have you heard about Deep Purple breaking the record for the loudest concert in 1972? Three audience members were rendered unconscious!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did not. That seems excessive to me. I'm surprised Deep Purple would be the ones to play a concert that loud. Did you know that The Ramones played 2,263 concerts over the span of their career?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's a lot of concerts! Wow. Did you know that Abba turned down $1 BILLION to do a 100 concert reunion tour?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did not. Wow! They must still have a lot of money saved to be able to turn that down. I don't like to laugh at the misfortune of others but I find it amusing that concert attendees filed a lawsuit against Creed because their concert was so bad.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is pretty funny. It must have been towards then end of Creed.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would assume so. I also recently learned that Pink Floyd held a concert in 1972 with no audience. I wonder why they did that?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh wow, that's kind of odd. I heard that in 2010 Lou Reed and his wife held a high frequency concert for dogs. I'm sure they enjoyed it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Lou Reed is a weird guy so I'm not that surprised. There is an ancient Roman amphitheater in Croatia that is used as a concert venue. I bet that would be amazing.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That would be an amazing experience seeing a band playing there.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It would leave you with a story to tell for sure. I would take so many pictures.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello, do you know much about celebrities?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I do. What about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No I dont know much lol there are too many celebrities.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yep, I know about the Kardashian family and Kanye. They are always up to something.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Did you know that Pixar studios has a secret room for only celebrities?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No I did not know that until I read these articles. The favors celebrities get bothers me.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah seriously, kinda ridiculous. Also, how much they get paid, I feel like actors and actresses dont even do the hardest work, all the editing and music and stuff seems like way more work lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree, Kim Kardashian earned $53 million in 2015, Judge Judy earns $123,000 per tv episode!! just mind blowing. There are people out there going to bed without food.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I really dislike that whole Kardashian family. I think it is ridiculous how much money they make and they dont really seem to earn it. I think I saw one episode where the younger one wants to buy a house and doesn't even know what credit is.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
lol, they are socialites and the media has elevated them. Just revealing their 3 rd child's name - Chicago blew up social media.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah it's crazy, and all their businesses are completely run by other people. They act like they are so stressed all the time.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
How about a Harlem woman who has held a Jazz concert in her apartment every Sunday for 20 years!!! crazy<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Thats pretty awesome. Im sure the clean up is pretty bad to have to clean your apartment every sunday lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yep! and top performers occassionally stop by.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That nice, do you like jazz? who is your favorite artist?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I really don't care for it. Tony Bennett impresses me.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Jazz trumpeters grew goatees because it provides comfort.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
lol. What do you think of people who use surrogate mothers?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think its a great idea, it creates options for people who cant or dont want to carry a baby. what do you think of it?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree. It is humanity at its best.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Been good chatting.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello do you like pop music?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do like pop music, I also like accordions though, did you hear about the big accordion Festival that is happening in Virginia?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didn't. Could you tell me more about it?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes it takes place in Falls Church, Virginia and there are going to be about a hundred and fifty people celebrating with accordions there<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That would be interesting to see. Did it have anything to do with the 80th anniversary of the American Accordionists Association?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I think so. And that one of the people among them is Lou Coppola, he's been doing this and playing the accordion for about 28 years now<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Where is he from?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He's originally from Bridgeport, Connecticut, speaking of music though what kind of pop music do you like<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like all kinds. I grew up in the 80's so that pop music era is my favorite. I was surprised to find out that the actor Ricky Gervais was a pop singer in the 80s/<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah that is shocking! It's also shocking that scientists determined the queen song, We Are the Champions, to be the catchiest song of all time LOL<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
lol That is funny. I remember hearing that song so much at sports games while I was growing up. The president of Indonesia has released 3 pop albums while in office. I wonder if they were any good? lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wonder if one of those is the catchiest song of all time LOL I would guess not, did you know that North Korea has a K-pop girl band? And it is the most popular group in the country?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
LOL You're probably right! hahaha Do you like going to concerts?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I do like concerts. One of my favorite concerts I wish I could have gone to was Pink Floyd, what about you<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I love going to concerts. Used to go to tons of them back in the day when they were more affordable and played in areas that were easy for me to go to. Pink Floyd recorded a live concert at an ancient Roman amphitheater in Pompeii with no audience. lol Wonder why they did that?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I hope they recorded that it's probably an amazing concert haha. What do you think about Creed though? They were sued because their concerts were so bad back in 2002<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That must have been a really really bad show! lol The Ramones played a lot of shows over a 20 year span...a total of 2,263 shows!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It is a lot of shows! I do think that Lincoln Park is more impressive though, they did 324 concerts in only one year<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow. That is alot. In Croatia, there is an ancient Roman amphitheatre that is still used for concerts. That would be cool to see a show in a setting like that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree with you! I want to see some guitar playing in that Amphitheatre haha, Have you ever learn to play the guitar<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I used to play but wan't good. lol Brian May from Queen uses coins as guitar picks! That's unique.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is really cool. Also cool is that Van Halen actually set a speaker on fire when he was playing a guitar solo LOL that's so metal<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you tend to follow elections in the country?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I plan to, it heard to decide who to vote for, I almost gave up on voting at one point.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know how that feels; sometimes it seems like there's no good option. I can see why voter turnout has been under 70% in the past hundred years.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes that's true, are you plan to vote in next election?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I try to vote every time. I missed the first election when I was eligible, but the last presidential election was very interesting, so I try to research and vote every time now.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Not being personal but do you that your entire voting was negative and no positive with the president?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I definitely felt like I was voting against someone more than I was voting for someone. Was that how you felt too?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well, I felt a little like that, My main concern is that I knew this country is going down hill with killing, drugs, rich, poor, I just wanted a change.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's how I felt too. I think the influence of the media was a major factor. According to actual rates, it's safer than it ever was in the past, but we're able to hear about so much more.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, you are right and nothing to very little is been done about it. We really need a strong and respectful leader.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Most of all we need a leader that can unify us. Elections seem so polarized lately that it will be hard to find one, though. Nobody wins if they campaign as a compromiser.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's true, but it doesn't matter what kind of president we get, he or she will not satisfy everyone, so that's why I always say do what best for our country, this is just my opinion.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree with you completely, and I appreciate the way you say it in a respectful and nonpartisan manner. The best for the country is something that everyone should strive for.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's true such as jobs, health Insurance and so many other things. I thinks a leader like that will be hard to find.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The difficult part is that everyone has their own idea of what's best for the country, and sometimes the politicians they agree with don't fulfill their promises.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
You are right, since I was voting, Presidents speak of good things that people want to hear and after 8 years nothing change and this was going on for years.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think it would help to get some new faces in politics and reform some of the systems that may have worked decades ago, but aren't as functional in modern times.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Did you know since 1900, the tallest candidate has won us presidential election 75% of the time?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
In that case, maybe the next candidates should invest in some stilts.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hahaha, you are right, voters turnout for president election hasn't breached 62.8% in the last 100 years.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Hopefully elections will take a turn to inspire people to vote more. It was good talking to you and finding a like mind about things!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Have you ever heard of the civil rights lawyer Michael Trister?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, was he black?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is my understanding, I believe he was forced from professorship in the late sixties, probably because he was black.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
oh ok, how about john macain, he was a jeopardy contestant in 1965<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
He was, I wonder how he did? With the length of that show, and it's weekly showing there must be lots of now famous people that have been on it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
probably, he also made a cameo in the movie wedding crashers<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Interesting that if you are born around the Panama canal you can be American, do we lease or own the land for the canal. I know we pretty much built it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
not sure, mccains mom is still alive and took race car driving classes in her late 90's!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They sound like an adventurous family, he must have got his courage from his mom.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yeah! speaking of politics, voter turnout for presidential elections has not breached 62% in the last 100 years<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's kind of sad, people can't complain if they don't vote, In some countries, Australia for instance, you get fined for not voting.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
interesting, neveda is the only state that has "none of these candidates" voting option for pres elections<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Do they keep a tally of how many times people check that. I wonder what they'd do if that got the most checks.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i wonder, and what if all the states had that option?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
The lawyers would have a field day, remember all that fuss in 2000 with the hanging chads. If every State had none of the above win it would be chaos.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
definitely, funny fact, the taller presidential candidate has one 75% of the time since 1900<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm six four, maybe I missed my calling, I could have been president. My height comes in useful at concerts, people are always complaining about me when I stand in front of them.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
funny, and who would think of keeping that data<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
There's always someone keeping track of data, just ask Facebook. Maybe one day out elections will be done over Facebook, it sounds like it has a higher participation rate than Presidential elections.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
ha true, nice chatting<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Have a good evening. Have a good day. Have a good morning. Or as they do in Nevada, none of the above. Bye<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hey!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hello there, how are you doing? Do you attend many concerts these days?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am great! I haven't been to a concert in awhile, but have been to a lot in my life! How about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I am the same way, I haven't been for a few years but used to go all the time. What would you say is your favorite ever?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would have to say Pink Floyd, or Linkin Park, there is so many!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is awesome, I am a big Pink Floyd fan, well I kinda am, of their first album. But any concert that they ever played would be really cool to attend.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, they have the best shows that I have seen. Aerosmith puts on a great concert too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That sounds good as well. I really like the Apples in Stereo, they put on a good show. Radiohead was really good as well, although I really went to see the opening band, thats sad but true.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I love Radihead, who was the opening band at that concert?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah they are awesome, and I wasn't aware of how little they toured! But I really wanted to see Steve Malkmus and the Jicks.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh wow, I haven't heard of them. I hope you enjoyed that concert though!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah it was really good, I was in high school, I remember my friend and I went together, it was awesome. Alpine Valley in Wisconsin.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Cool! I have enjoyed every concert I have ever been to. I heard that there was a lawsuit against the band Creed for the show being so bad lol....I wonder how that worked out.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah that is so lame to me. If you don't like it, then you learn your lesson and don't buy any more tickets to any more concerts.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Exactly! So do you ever go vote in the elections at all? Pretty sad John Mccain passed away but he went through a lot, so many people died in 2018.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah there were a lot of good people who died this past year. And yeah I do, did you know the voter turnout for US presidential elections hasn't gone over 62% in the last 100 years!?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Really? That's it? more people need to get in to these elections because every vote counts!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah isn't that crazy, that seems way to low to even be true but it is.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Kind of sad really. I also heard that Michael Trister, civil rights lawyer died, a few people that did a lot of good have been passing lately.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah that is sad as well. Here is a really weird fact, did you know that just under the last 120 years, the taller presidential candidate has won 75% of the time? Better start making that bet in vegas!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Really? Haha, that's odd! I have a funny fact...John McCains mom....took race car driving classes and she is in her 90s!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is super funny! I wonder what the fastest she ever drove was, legally or illegally?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I don't know how fast she went but being in her 90s she must have wanted to drive a race car really bad lol...no time like the present! It has been great chatting!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah right, and yeah same here, I hope you have a good night.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
did you know that john mccain was once on jeopardy 1965<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No I didn't know about that. Have you ever heard of Michael Trister by the way? He was a civil rights lawyer and died recently<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yes, pancreatic cancer. he did a lot of work with desegregation.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes he sounds like a great guy, also he lived until he was 77, which is a good life I think<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
i loved that he was a lawyer for planned parenthood and unions too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He also helped a lot of people, for instance he created guidelines about lobbying and what each other's about election Law and Order to do the best job for advocating for the different causes<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yep. and he did so much worked with Mississippi Center for Justice. they do so much work opposing racial and economic injustices.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Back to John McCain no, did you know that he voted against a Federal holiday for Martin Luther King<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did. he had some problematic votes and opinions while he was serving as a senator. i think he is also one of the few senators to cameo in a movie.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes you're right he made a cameo in that movie"Wedding Crashers" I always thought that movie was pretty funny<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
i wonder how many people voted the "none of these candidates" option when he ran on the nevada ticket.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I wondered about that too. I probably would not use it myself because I would just vote for someone that I liked. Did you know with John McCain that you was actually born in the Panama Canal Zone<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
was his father in the military as well?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I think he was. He also had a media reputation for being called a"Maverick"<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
i recall that was a big part of the 2008 elections where obama prevailed.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yep I think you're right. He was actually a former military officer and served as a US senator from 1987 until he died in 2018<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
in the current turmoil it stung to lose an unlikely semi ally. in ancient athens there werent elections cause they thought it would lead to oligarchy. they did it by a lottery system. imagine that<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I don't know about using a lottery system that sounds very dumb to me, but it is interesting that 75% of the time the taller candidate will win the presidential election<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
thats an observation for sure. i wonder how that would change with voter reform and fairer votes in the electoral college.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I'm not sure, but it is an interesting statistic, what are your thoughts on the fact that in 2012 us International election observers were banned from viewing the polls in 9 US states<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think it is weird.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes I wonder why that happened, it also makes me sad that our elections max out at 63% turnout that seems low<end_of_turn>

Are you a big google user?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, regularly use Google to do searches. You?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I use that and bing so I can earn some amazon gift cards.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
How does the gift card thing work?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Look up bing rewards. You earn points for doing searches but they have a limit on the amount you can earn each day. Did you know that google was created over 20 years ago already in 1998?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. Wish I'd invested in Google stock when they made 2004 public offering!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh yeah! A single google search requires more computing power than it took to send men to the moon!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Right. Mind-boggling, but shows advancements in tech. svcs. and products, doesn't it?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes! Google maps calculates traffic by tracking how fast android devices are moving on the road. That's pretty mind boggling too. So they are pretty much tracking cell phones and using some of the data for that. Interesting.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well said. Did you know that if you wanted, say, to find a location in the disputed region of Kashmir, Google would show you only the map of the claims of the country (India or Pakistan) where the browser you're using is located?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didn't know that before but now I do! Thanks! Do you remember when Google went down for about 5 minutes on Aug. 16th 2013 and took 40 percent of the web traffic with it? I don't remember it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Me, either, but I do know that internet companies like Google, or Amazon, use tech that is often beyond my comprehension...Do you suppose that's the point, really?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It might be. I'm a big Amazon customer. Are you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
In the past few years, have ordered books and supplies from Amazon, yes. They have - almost anything, don't they?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes. I have Prime and we got rid of the cable because the video streaming service for Prime is worth the price of Prime every year.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Heard that streaming is great, and that Amazon is producing original fillms and TV shows. My fav. is The Grand Tour.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
My kids like the Grand Tour. Amazon now will even deliver your packages on Sundays because they have a contract with the US post office for the delivery service.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Convenient, too. If we lived in China, the giant e-commerce co. would be Alibaba. Did you know its founder was turned down by Harvard & Yale as an under-grad. student? Think they're sorry, now?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didn't know that! I bet they are. Jeff Bezos has made so much money off of Amazon that he built a clock into a mountain that should run for 10,000 years!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Far out - in time, that is. Brilliant guy, though. Has vision. Even named a building on Amazon's Seattle campus after his 1st Amazon customer! Why not?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is neat! IMDB is also owned by Amazon since 1998.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. Whether it's Amazon (big, powerful warriors) or Alibaba (magical) the AI these giants employ is beyond me. How about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
AI scares me. lol I don't trust it. It's been a good chat.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Enjoyed your comments, thanks. Cheers!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Have a good day! Thanks as well!<end_of_turn>

Do you like the piano?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I love the piano! I am not able to play well though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I took lesson but dropped out. Its been around since 1700<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
There are pianos everywhere. There was even one on the Hindenburg.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow, thats nuts. Did you know there are aluminum pianos?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I heard they weigh 356 pounds. Seems like a lot but pretty light for a piano.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes for airships.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder if those are also at the top of mountains, like the one in Britain?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I heard about that in 2006 when climbers found it<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder how it got there. I mean it is not like they are small...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Had to be helicoptered up I am sure.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Definitely not carrying that up in my pack, even if my girlfriend insists on taking it with us.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Amazing sound though from strings being struck by hammers.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, tons of intricate parts. Did you hear that Freddie Mercury and Paul McCartney both recorded some of their famous music on the same piano?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, hey jude was performed and recorded with that piano<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Such talented musicians, the both of them. I would have loved to see Freddie in concert!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes nothing like live music in front of an audience.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Not like the one concert Pink Floyd recorded Live, no audience!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow, at the amphitheater I hear.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
In Pompeii at that! How cool!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, that is right! Great chat, have a good night.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
You too!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi, do you use Amazon?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi, are you interested in Google, Amazon, or Artificial Intelligence?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
All three of those actually. They are two of the biggest innovators we have and one of the most interesting scientific fields.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I agree. I really enjoy AI although all three of these topics are probably so interrelated that we don't realize it. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is sometimes called machine intelligence (which is actually demonstrated by the machines) in contrast to human intelligence.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes it is amazing what we can hopefully apply AI to in the future. It can really help out with some difficult tasks.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I took Computer Science in college and it is defined as the study of 'intelligent agents' or any device that perceives the environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of successfully achieving its goals.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I only took a basic Computer Science course, we never delved into Artificial Intelligence. I don't know too much about it besides some basic reading.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I learned some stuff in Master's level courses and colloquially, the term 'artificial intelligence' is applied when a machine mimics 'cognitive functions' that humans associate with other human minds such as 'learning' and 'problem solving'.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
What do you think the biggest priority should be in the application of Artificial Intelligence?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Actually, the scope of AI is disputed as machines become increasingly capable, tasks considered as requiring 'intelligence' are often removed from the definition, a phenomenon known as the AI effect, leading to the quip in Teslar's Theorem, 'AI is whatever hasn't been done yet.'<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know some people are afraid of AI and think machines will become too self aware. I don't think we will ever run into that problem, science fiction has made people too paranoid.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I totally agree with that since machines are run on computer programs that humans wrote. Modern machine capabilities generally classified as AI include successfully understanding human speech and competing at the highest level in strategic game systems such as chess and Go.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know I have lost my fair share of chess games to a computer, I even saw a computer compete at very high levels at Jeopardy. It only slipped up when questions were worded somewhat ambiguously.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, computers could NEVER actually think like humans can although they can autonomously operate cars, provide intelligent routing in content delivery networks and military simulations.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes they can really help us out when the task is something that lends itself to automation but not when there are moral or ethical complications.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Very true. Did you know that Stanford's free AI class uses Google plus Hangouts to help them teach more effectively?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did not know that, I have used Google Hangouts for interviews and meetings. We even used it once for a fantasy football draft that a lot of people couldn't attend in person.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Awesome use of it. Did you know that there is a non-profit organization for the advancement of Artificial Intelligence?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's great, it's an area that we should definitely fund as there are a lot of great applications of the technology. Just the medical field alone could immensely benefit from it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree, even Facebook is developing an AI designed to understand user emotions, identify objects in photos, and predict user actions.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Facebook may be the one company I don't trust with AI after all their recent data scandals. It was very interesting to chat AI with you and I definitely learned a few new things.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Nice chatting with you as well.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Its crazy how Google and Amazon have grown<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It's hard to even believe Google has been around for over twenty years.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know right, seems like its been around forever<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
And Amazon has been around even longer, since 1994.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Its a long time, Amazon started as an online bookstore right?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, but now it's largest Internet retailer in the world!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It is, it sells everything from books to groceries to pet supplies you name it, I love the company<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It also sells low-end and affordable products under its own brand called AmazonBasics.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Have you tried the Amazon Basics products?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Sure. I used Amazon for practically everything, but I also used Google. I guess I'm not alone because when Google went down for about five minutes in 2013, 40% of the web traffic went down with it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I love Google as well, you know it was founded by two PHD students in Standford University<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, and together they own 14 percent of the company, and control about 56% of the stockholder voting power.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I thought they owned a bigger percentage of the company, I heard the company wants to reoganize some of its interests in a company called Alphabet Inc<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, they actually announced that several years ago. Most recently, Larry Page was removed as the CEO of Google and is now the CEO of Alphabet.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
A guess that makes sense, Google is a big company and it must have more than one CEO for different divisions, have you ever used the Maps app?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, it's interesting how they determine the borders of countries with disputed borders.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree, interesting and they also calculate traffic using android devices that are in movement on the road, thats just genius and bit invasive<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Definitely, though everything is invasive these days, so what are you going to do? Did you know it takes more computing power for a Google search than it did for Neil Armstrong to go to the moon? That's insane!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah if you have nothing to hide then theres nothing to worry about right? and no I didnt know that, thats an amazing fact<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They care a little about the environment, I imagine, too. Once, they hired hundreds of goats to mow the laws at Googeplex instead of people.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Thats an efficient way to get things done lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, they're located in California, unsurprisingly since its founders went to school there.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hello there, do you use Amazon much?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hey yeah I love Amazon use it all the time! Hard to believe amazon workers walk between 7 and 15 miles each day.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I use it quite a bit myself, and it is hard to believe, I would think no more than 2 or 3.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea that seems more accurate. Also I was interested to know IMDB is owned by Amazon.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I didn't know that about them, I wonder how many other things they own?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah good question. I respect Bezos though. He built the largest internet retailer in the world all the way back in 1994.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah Bezos is a great businessman. Did you know he built a clock into a mountain that will run for 10,000 years?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Whoa I would like to see that. The Amazon contract with USPS must explain how they are able to deliver packages so fast, even on Sundays!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I wonder how the postal employees felt when they learned that Sundays are no longer off days for all.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I bet that didn't go over so well. But only a matter of time until Artificial Intelligence will start delivering for Amazon. There is even a non profit organization for the advancement of AI.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think I read that, I wonder who funds that kind of organization?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah good question I'm not sure. AI is definitely good at solving puzzles though as it crushed all human records in the puzzle game "2048".<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is pretty impressive, did you know the actress Kristen Stewart once co-authored a paper on AI?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't take that actress for the scientific type. I would like to attend one of Stanford's free AI classes.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah same here, I think that would be very interesting to sit in on a class or two.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Very much so! I just hope machines don't become so capable that they start to perform things without commands!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah and that is where it starts to get scary, especially if we give them a lot of control.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah. There has to be a fine line between helping us out but not taking over. I would think that google would make a good AI. Google once used hundreds of goats to trim it's lawns instead of making people do it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I read that before, that is so crazy! I wonder what other people that didn't work there think of them.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I bet they think positively of them. A single google search requires more computing power than it took to send neil armstrong and 11 other astronauts to the moon. That is quite surprising.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Holy cow, it's crazy how far tech has come. Well it's been nice talking with you, I hope you have a good one!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi are you a big fan of google? They have really became one powerful company.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I use Google every day. It is hard not to. When Google is down, almost all web traffic is down also.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes! I can't believe they have been around over 20 years already since be founded in 1998.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
An innovative company, they are. They once used live goats instead of people to mow their lawns!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is kind of neat. I'm surprised I haven't seen that happen before. When there is a disputed border, google maps will tailor their maps to the claims of each country where the interenet browser is located. Weird and kind of odd fact.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Technology is progressing so rapidly. I think it is an interesting that what we refer to as AI constantly changes. What was considered AI before is normal now.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
AI has really come on strong in the last 2 years. AI crushed all human records in the puzzle game "2048".<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think it is an important idea to focus on the human aspect as we become more technologically advanced. That's the focus people in Silicon Valley are taking.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree. Facebook is developing an AI desinged to understand user emotions, identify objects in photos, and predict users actions.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I admire John Doerr for writing a book about how to make people work together more productively.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm going to have to look that book up. I'm not familiar with him or the book. Speaking of books, I didn't know Kristen Stewart co-authored a paper about AI.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, you should read the book. Learning how to make teams work together more productively is useful because companies perform better when their teams are more motivated I guess.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm going to look it up when we're done here. Are you a big Amazon user? I am.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, I use Amazon all the time. I suppose it's hard not to use Amazon either. They are the largest internet retailer in the world.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree. I didn't know that they also owned IMDB since 1998. Probably so they could direct people to buy the movies over at Amazon. lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, it seems like they are grabbing the market anywhere they can, from books, entertainment, and much more.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They even have their own in-house brand called AmazonBasics, which sells low-end products.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They even control more than it seems because they are a cloud provider. It's almost like they are becoming the internet.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It's kind of sad that all these brick and mortar stores are closing because of all this technology. Amazon has a contract with the US postal service to deliver packages on Sundays now too. Pretty soon groceries will be coming to your doorstep too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think we should maintain a keen perspective on all the technologies that we are creating. Risks and dangers should be constantly assessed.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree. I'm surprised at how many people are using the grocery shoppers now. I was in Walmart the other day and I was amazed at how many workers were picking items for customers. We know someone who does it and the Walmart they work at there is enough demand for 4 full time employees to do nothing but shop all day. That to me is just craziness. I have to get running. I had a good time chatting with you.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I had a good time too. Have a good day. Bye!<end_of_turn>

lol, On april 18, 1930, the bbc decided there was no news worth reporting, so they broadcast piano music instead. Did You hear about that ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No I didn't ...I'd bet it was more soothing that the news<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
what do You mean, You don't like regular news ? ;)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Absolutely not. News is often depressing, and I could stand without it. Now, toss on a piano song, or music....now you've got me. Though I hate classical music. Well, most of it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wander if Brits were surprised when instead of news they got piano music instead ;) lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They may have thought they won the lottery. I'm an older dude, but give me a nice pounding Elton John or Billy Joel rocker on piano, and I'm rockin' away!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Hey I'm with You, I mean I'm only 37 but yeah... I'll take "Piano man" instead of news any day ;)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It makes me happy when a younger guy like yourself, I'm 61, still could listen to a good piano song. Didn't realize people your age still know what musical instruments are? Well, not that you're that young.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
hey ! :) I'm young inside ;) but yeah... I listen to all kind of rock, blues and metal... Pink Floyd, Joe Bonamassa, Dire Straits, Metallica, Nirvana... and many more ;)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Nice! I used to be a DJ in clubs back in the day....remembered playing a ton of that stuff. Been to a lot of concerts?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh yes, I think I've beat my record last year... I saw Nick Cave twice, I won tickets to see Metallica, and I saw King Crimson for the first time. Oh, and I saw Joe Bonamassa too ;)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
You got to see some good ones, that's for sure. I stopped going to concerts years ago!, but man....back in the 70's, seeing Pink Floyd, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Heart and Electric Light Orchestra on the same bill was fantastic....and it was only $15.00 a ticket.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Holy Crap ! ;) Now to see phil collins it's like $350 and those are not even good seats... ;) times changed, that's for sure...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yep. I wish the Factual Section 3 was Rock Music instead of Classical. The only story I have on classical music, is that I was a limo driver for an Arab shiek back in 2001. He bought me a 10 disco best of Classical artists box sex. Wasn't bad, but only listened to it once or twice. That's all I got on Classical music.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm not too close to classical music, but I did like the soundtrack to Space Odyssey 2001 - it's as close to classical I got ;)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
LOL....I hear ya. Oh, and sorry for the spelling, it was "10 Disc" and "box set" I meant. I'm gonna get killed for that....lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
lol, yeah I figured that one out ;) although You never know with those Srab Sheik - they like to have a good time :)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
LOL. So, let's see, I covered piano, concert, and classical. Anything else you'd like to bring up? Been nice chattin' with ya!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Something I'm sure You're aware of - In 1972, pink floyd recorded a live concert at the ancient roman amphitheater in pompeii...with no audience. I have that video ;) amazing piece :)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I've heard of it, but never knew it was filmed! I'm gonna hafta Youtube it and see if I can find anything on it...so I can watch a good sounding piano (keeping on the topic).<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
lol ;) that one was more psychodelic ;) not everybody likes stuff like that ;)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No wonder there wasn't an audience for that concert.....lol.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
lol ;) I loved it ! for those times, it was something truly amazing ! ;)<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm gonna see if I can find that concert. I'd like to see it. Have a Great day!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
You too, thank You for a great chat !<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Absolutely....<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Have a healthy New Year ;)<end_of_turn>

Hi there, did you hear that Amazon pulled out of its decision to build its second headquarters in NY today?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't hear that. They have so many locations, and such a wide reach. Jeff Bezos certainly has vision<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, it's crazy that they started out as an online bookstore and now it's so big it's the largest internet retailer in the world<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They even own imdb!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess it makes sense that once they had that property, they'd move into streaming video and producing their own content with Amazon Studios<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They certianly have capitalized off their success, even getting USPS to deliver packages on sunday<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, and their own workers move a lot of packages, too. A warehouse workers walks between 7 and 15 miles over the course of a daily shift.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That seems like a lot, I wonder how soon before they start replacing them with AI?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It's only a matter of developing the technology to a point where the automation is cheaper. There is actually a non-profit organization for the advancement on AI, I wonder what kind of people contribute to that!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Facebook is even in on the development of AI, trying to understand human emotion, and predict user actions. It is almost there with the fact when you search for something you start to see ads for it on Facebook. Re-targeting as become amazing that way<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, we're at the point where tasks like OCR are often excluded from AI because they've become such a routine technology.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I personally am excited to see further development in the self driving car type of technology.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I love driving, so I'm not personally excited to use that, but I think it's better than dealing with all of the distracted drivers on the road because they're looking at their phones. Google actually calculates traffic using the movement of Android devices on the road!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't know that. Thats pretty cool, I was wondering how they got that info, I knew it couldn't be just people logged on to maps.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, I guess you have to watch what you agree to! I bet the some agreements are even drafted by AI<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Probably, those things I never read and now I owe them not only my soul, but all the winnings if I were to ever hit the lotto. lol. Ive heard Kristen Stewart co-authored a paper on AI<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That seems a bit ironic haha. Maybe she took Stanford's free class on AI that uses Google Plus Hangouts and shared her lovely personality.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Lol. Maybe she did.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, it's a good thing Facebook has so many users and photos with which to train its AI to understand emotion and recognize objects<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It always gets me when I post photos that automatically tag me or my friends.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess the cost of a "free" product is privacy! Maybe part of the next frontier with AI is using it to create believable fake identities to trick other AI algorithms with lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That would be crazy. Its been great chatting!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Good night!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you enjoy classical music?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do, I listen to classical music when Im working what about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I enjoy listening to classical music in a serene space, but did you know classical music concerts originally had loud wild audiences?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didnt thats a cool fact, another cool fact is that a computer composed a classical music master piece back in 2011<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder if it was any good? In any case, classical music isn't just music. Cities are using it to successfully deter crime in public space with remarkable results<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They are? that application is suprising and new to me have you attended any good concerts lately?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I recently attended Joe Hisaishi's concert. He has amazing melodies and it would be perfect music to listen to in a beautifully scenic place in nature<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I haven heard of that artist I might look him up in Youtube later today, there is a roman amphitheatre in Cratia that its still used for concerts, it would be amazing to attend a concert there<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
did you know creed concerts entered into 4 lawsuits, I think I would be fine<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thats too bad Creed used to be a great band, do you like Linking Park?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They are pretty good and they even had 300+ concerts in 2001 alone due to their sucess<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thats a lot of concerts for a year, I loved their first album it was a success indeed.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Speaking of concerts have you ever listened to the ramones? They played a total of 2000 concerts and toured for nearly 20 years<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have too bad I didnt make it to any of their concerts, they are a really talented group.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree. Personally I am a fan of the piano for most songs<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Piano is a great instrument I really like it, it has such a relaxing tone, in the 30s the BBC network decided to broadcast piano music instead of the news<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Did you know a group of climber reach britain's highest mountain peak and found a piano. Someone must really like the piano<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree I would be too busy getting freezed to play the piano, that must require a lot of hard physical work though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I sure respect Bartolomeo for inventing such a beautiful instrument so far back in the 1700s.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow that was 300 years ago! the piano is an old instrument, there is also an aluminum grand piano<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I didn't know that. In any case thank you for the chat. I am going to look up what the aluminum grand piano looks like after this chat.<end_of_turn>

Have you ever visited Silicon Valley? I know that it's in California<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I haven't. I am sure it is something to be seen.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
You been to Google's headquarters? It is in Silicon Valley, they are the largest search engine in the world<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, but we have a big distribution center in my city and I have been there. Can you believe Jeff Bezos built a clock into a mountain that should run for 10,000 years?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No that's a really crazy thing to build. What do you think about the fact that the first customer to buy something on Amazon got a building named after him<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wish I was that person! When I was at Amazon I walked miles. Did you know that the workers walk between 7-15 miles each day. I believe it!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow that is crazy that's a lot of calories to burn in a day! I'm just glad that Amazon has an exclusive contract with USPS to deliver on Sundays, that makes me happy<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Me too! I see them out delivering all the time!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I've seen them too, do you ever use the site IMDb by the way?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. When I want to find out more about a person who is in the entertainment industry.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yep I use that site almost everyday, it's crazy that Amazon owns them, they own almost everything LOL<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes they do. Do you think it is crazy that instead of hiring a lawn crew that google had goats mow the lawns.]<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do think that's crazy. But I guess it is environmentally friendly. corraling hundreds of live goats to mow a law is a crazy thing to try to do<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
But effective! Did you know that google maps calculates traffic on how fast android devices are moving on the road. WHat about Apple people?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is really interesting. I love how these companies can use AI now, do you know who Kristen Stewart is by the way?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Not sure? Who is she?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
She's the actress from the Twilight movies. Apparently she even wrote a paper about artificial intelligence which I did not think she would be interested in<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I agree! I know who you are talking about now. That is kind of crazy! I heard that there is a non-profit org for the advancement of artificial intelligence.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I think you're right. It's all so crazy that Facebook is creating its own artificial intelligence to identify objects in photos<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They are on the cutting edge. That is really cool.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes I agree, they also want to be able to predict their users actions which is scary to me<end_of_turn>

Winter is getting old. I'm ready to see birds migrating back north from Mexico; that would be a welcome sight.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea birds are pretty interesting, i find their light weight skeleton fascinating<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It's hard to believe that their skeletons actually weigh less than their feathers with those hollow bones.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea, they are quite successful species with over ten thousand species currently living<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess some in Australia can mimic lots of sounds like cameras and chainsaws. Listening to them might be better than going to a Creed concert. Some dissatisfied listeners once filed a lawsuit since a performance was so bad.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't blame them. The foo fighters once did a concert so loud it was recorded on New Zealand's seismic monitors<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow, that is loud! But I'll bet it was fun. I've never seen them live, but I have been to a few good amphitheatre shows: John Mellencamp, Tome, Petty, and KISS were really good.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Apparently Deep Purple has the record for loudest concert, it left three audience members unconscious<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Holy cow, that had to be something. Those classic acts had it going on. The Ramones toured almost nonstop for 20 years; that is commitment to the craft, no doubt.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is impressive, they've must of made a lot of money but probably not as much Abba was offered to do a reunion tour, they turned down 1 billion dollars<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did not know that. For that kind of money, I think I could put grudges or reservations aside. You could buy a lot of tacos for 1 billion dollars.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea I never even thought Abba was that in demand to offer 1 billion to do 100 concerts<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think I would pass on that one. I didn't even know they were still all around. Fame can take a toll on performers; Linkin Park was so awesome, but their lead singer faced demons and committed suicide. So sad.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea that is unfortunate. Do you follow world events much. In 2010 there was a global tiger summit that russia pledged 330 million dollars to<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like keeping up on politics, but I did not know that fact. However, I heard once that they gave out phone chargers and thumb drives infected with trojan viruses at one G20 summit. That seems to go against the very nature of a summit.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes but I guess security is lacking at a lot of summits, in 2007 a man dressed as Osama bin Laden was able to get pass security of the Apec summit<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Really? You would think that security might be a bit tighter at these things. Especially with the heads of state from so many powerful countries there. It's almost like inviting someone to harm world leaders.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea but I guess security is hard to do with the increase in Summits since the end of the Cold War<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
True, now there has been an increase in summit events since then, so it's probably harder to keep them all safe.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea, they even have a summit on St Patrick's day where the Irish Prime Minister visits the US President<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Really, that is cool. That one is probably low stress compared to one with Putin or leaders from China.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yea, especially the early ones with FDR, Stalin and Chruchill during WWII<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It would have been amazing to witness those. Those were three strong, influential, history-changing leaders.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
well i got to go, nice talking with you<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Are movies your kind of entertainment?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I like movies. Im particularly fond of Stehpen speilberg films.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Do you have a favorite? We just watched Empire of the Sun, it had a very young Christian Bale in it!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I like the jurassic park movies a lot. Me and my son like watching stff like that he loves dinosars.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
My son too, he keeps telling me when the new Jurassic movies are coming out, 2020 apparently.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thats awesome. I hadnt heard abot a new one. Fnny thing about Speilberg. When he rode the jurassic park ride he asked to be let off before the 84 foot drop. I can nderstand what he is going through there thogh. Im not a big rollercoaster fan.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Same here. My son loves Cedar Point in Ohio, we take him and he goes on all the big rides while I sit and watch. I guess everyone seeks their own entertainment.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I went on a roller coaster when i was little that did a flip. Then it went backwards and did the flip again. I have hated them ever sense.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think I'll stick to the movies. Have you ever seen the movie Moon? It's about ten years old now, it was made by David Bowie's son Duncan Jones.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No I havent seen it is it good.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It's interesting in a small movie way. Clever story with a nice twist at the end.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Ill have to check it out. One of the earliest movies I an remember seeing is ET. My mom liked it when I was a kid.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I remember that one when I was at school, I had to wait until it was on VHS. I also recall be scared by Close Encounters, it took me nearly ten years to watch it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wasnt one for scary movies either. My sister loved them even when she was a little kid. Did yo ever see Schindlers list.We watched that one in school.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, I remember going with my dad. It almost felt like we had to go. It's amazing how a movie maker can go from big popcorn movies like E.T. to a serious movie such as Schindler's List.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah that movie was deep. I took an elective class in high school on the holocaust and we watched it. That was a screwed up time in history. Man the way they lined p the Jews and shot them in rows to save bullets. That always sticks out to me as a prime example of how sick and screwed up the Germans were at that time. Not worried about the lives they took at all just how many bullets they used doing it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know, it affected me a lot at the time. I'd also recently been to Germany and seen one of those concentration camps. I don't know how people can become like that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I also remember the goonies. That ones a classic in my book. Speilberg flew the entire cast to Hawaii after they were done shootiIng Man they have made some money off that movie.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
We just showed that one to the kids. We had forgotten about all the swearing in it. It's funny how memory works.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah it is. Well its been good talking to ya this morning. I got to be gettin ready for work. I dont want to though. Its cold out there.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Have a good day, bye<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi, how are you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Me? i guess im pretty good. how are you doing? everything going all right? get enough to eat there? thats good. what do you think about the moon?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm good, thanks for asking. It's so overcast, I can't really see it tonight. How about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i have not looked at the moon recently, but i think that it has been doing all right. The highest point on the moon is 1938 meters higher than mt. everest! I wonder if they have 3g and wireless up there.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I doubt it, but you never know? Lol I hear moon dust can cut through Kevlar like material and is harmful to us humans.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
boy, that is good to know. i never realized the dangers of visiting the moon. i guess ill wait until disney sets up a theme park there. when does spielberg make his first dinosaur moon movie?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's cool! Well if anyone could make a movie like that it would be Spielberg. He's made some good ones, Jaws, E.T. The Color purple,and Jurassic Park, just to name a few.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
dinosaurs on the moon. shot on location. that would be great! Summer was considered a bad time to release a movie in the theater because of low sales until Jaws.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Now, it's the best time. My how times change! Did you know he played the clarinet on the Jaws soundtrack?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
he is a gifted artist. i wonder how good his clarinet skills are. why did he get that gig? he made enough as the director.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Can you say control? I read he still makes millions from Star Wars off a bet he made with George Lucas in 1977.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes, that bet about star wars and close encounters. george really blew it on that one. that is funny. still george has billions.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
What's a friendly wager among billionaire friends?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
at the time, they were not billionaires. but george learned the value of his franchise. he made a ton off other movies before though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
On a side note, do you know that when Caesar visited Britain a long time ago, he saw the people there not eating chickens , but using them as entertainment?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
there was not much for entertainment there and then. i guess they had other sources of protein. maybe the britons bet on the chicks?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm sure they were talking about cock fighting, still goes on today. It's just illegal now if you get caught doing it! Lol Still, I think I would have fried up the under performing birds and watch the better fighters do their thang!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
the Britons probably ate something from chickens. maybe the eggs? I dunno. They did not have the NES for entertainment, so they had to use chickens.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
You know, that thing was only discontinued in Japan in 2003. Hard to believe it held on so long, there!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i think that the Japanese are die hard fans. they wanted to keep buying the games. i dont know why. there have been many better systems.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, you're right about that. Well, it's been nice chatting. Enjoy the rest of your evening.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
What forms of entertainment do you enjoy?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I like movies. I really like Steven Spielberg movies like E.T. and Indiana Jones. What do you like?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like most types of entertainment designed to give pleasure and delight such as storytelling, music, drama, and etc. However, I too like Steven Spielberg's movies.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Entertainment definitely takes all forms. Back in 50bc people in Britain bred chickens for entertainment.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder if that has anything to do with the mass produced meaty chickens of today? Personally I spent a lot of time with the Nintendo entertainment systems.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I like Nintendo too. I don't care that the NES could only display 54 colors. It's enough.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Too bad it was finally discontinued in 2003, but it has had a long run. Aside from the NES, I also watched Bill nye the science guy when I was younger too<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I watch him now with the Planetary Society. Did you know he won a Steve Martin lookalike contest?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I would have never know. I also enjoyed many steven spielberg movies like ET, which you previously mentioned.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, Spielberg is an excellent director. This is a little known fact but he also directed some shows on tv.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Did you know he still makes millions for a star wars on a bet with george lucas in 1977<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't know that but I have to admit that it says a lot about George Lucas to still be paying on a bet from so long ago.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I mean it really shows how close both George Lucas and Steven Spielberg are as friends. It probably also helps that they are filthy rich.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's true. Spielberg is a nice guy. He flew the whole cast of goonies to Hawaii and had a cookout.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I mean his hits are so amazing that he change the very concept that summer was a bad time to release movies due to historically low sales by releasing jaws and we both know how that turned out<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Now it's a major thing to release movies in the summer. I just wish he'd go back to making the kind of movies he did before. I know he likes addressing issues in movies currently but I like adventure and fantasy. Close Encounters of the Third Kind is a fanastic movie! I can still hear the "musical communication" with the alien ship!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Speaking of jaws, did you know he personally played the clarinet in the jaws soundtrack? I really like it when the creators participate directly in their creations.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't know that. I had no idea he could play an instrument for that matter. I like it too when they do that. You know Jaws is considered the first summer blockbuster.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did not, but it makes sense since it changed the very perception of best times to release movies.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It really does. Jaws planted a flag so to speak. Just like NASA planting one on the moon.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Indeed. In any case, it was a enjoyable chat, especially about Spielberg.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes it was.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi there! Have you ever had a pet bird?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No I haven't but I have memories of friends who did when I was growing up. How about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, I have had pet birds. I've had cockatiels, parakeets, and some fancier parrots when I was a kid. Did you know the famously extinct Dodo bird, is closely related to the pigeon?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is awesome, so you are quite the bird expert. I didn't know that, very interesting though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Haha! I know a few fun facts about birds. Such as in most birds the bones are so hollow that the feathers weigh more than the entire skeleton!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is awesome, I guess it makes sense though when you figure they have to be able to stay airborne.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Apparently, humingbirds steal spiderwebs to construct and repair their nests. I was always curious how they built such strong little nests!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is so cool, I love learning about how different species in nature interact with each other to help themselves.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, we are learning so much about so many things, these days! There are birds in Australia that can mimic the sound of car alarms, cameras and chain saws. I wonder if they are mockingbirds.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is awesome, and yeah good one. I wonder why they would mimic them as well?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It's interesting, but I also find it kind of sad that they mimic human made objects. Birds are amazing to me! Some birds fly from Alaska to Mexico, without sleeping when migrating!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is amazing for an animal to do that, sleeping is necessary, some animals sleep for crazy periods of time!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It would be pretty neat if we evolved wings from our forelimbs! Birds are called Aves sometimes, which makes sense since we call large bird houses, aviaries.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That would be really wild, and I didn't know that, it does make sense though with the aviaries. And, aviation is air stuff too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Ah yes, aviation as well! That one slipped my mind somehow! My favorite birds used to be penguins, but they almost don't even seem like birds to me!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I would agree, penguins seem like a different breed in general. I think birds are the closest living things to dinosaurs to be honest.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, in hindsight and without DNA, if we'd have known that some have feathers and some fly, and some lay eggs. Maybe we could have put two and two together, after all!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is probably true, I just think you can really tell when you look at a birds feet, they look like how dinos did.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh yeah and their cute little legs! They all kind of remind me of tiny dinosaurs! Emus remind me of pretty big dinosaurs! I'd love to have one as a pet! Their eggs are huge compared to a chicken's eggs!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah good call they sure do to me too! And yeah those eggs are massive, I know people eat those and ostrich eggs.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, it would be really interesting to taste an ostrich egg! Hey, it has been so nice chatting with you! I've got to get some chores done. I hope you have a wonderful day!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Ok sounds good, yeah it was fun, I hope you enjoy the rest of your day!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you enjoy dining at interesting restaurants?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hello there, I do enjoy going yes, how about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do when I can. I'd like to visit Mi Vida, a beautifully designed restaurant in Washington DC.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It sounds really nice, and DC is a really fun place to visit I will say that as well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It's got torches on pedestals and it faces the water on the Wharf. The drinks sound yummy too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah they do, and fresh guacamole is always so good.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'd try chipotle infused tequila with my guac and chips!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah that also sounds super good, I love tequila!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Have you had queso fundido? It's like Mexican fondue, yum!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah I have tried that before and it is really good I would agree!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Unfortunately it seems the service at the restaurant is not so great. That is one of the most important things, for me.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh for sure, I have worked at a restaurant and it takes some skill to be good, but if not, bad service is the worst!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm getting hungry. I'd love some chicken. Chicken is the only bird I would eat, even at a fancy restaurant.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I like chicken as well. Speaking of birds, did you know that they have regional accents?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is funny. I think I had heard that about cows, too. So like moo, meh, mewww? Haha Speaking of birds though, hummingbirds are smart. They steal spidewebs to fix their nests and to make new ones.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think I have read about that, very cool, would be fun to watch video of them doing it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I bet they are really light. Most birds' bones are so hollow that the skeleton weighs less than the feathers.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is very interesting, I think they are the closest relatives to the dinosaurs as well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Neat! And the dodo is also a close relative to the pigeon.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah it is! Oh the dodo, I remember watching old videos of the dodo years ago.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Birds are persistent too. Some can fly from Alaska to Northern Mexico without sleeping when they are migrating. Speaking of sleep, I'd love to take a nap! It was nice talking to you!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Did you know about the wild birds in Australia and their pecularity?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Can't say that I have. What about them?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Well they mimic the sound of car alams, chainsaws and also cameras,<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh, that sounds like the lyre birds. I guess I have heard of them. Birds are neat. The reason they can fly is thanks to their almost hollow skeleton.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That must be really funny to listen at lol, you know that birds have bones that are so hollow they can even weigh more than their feathers<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I believe it, especially when some of them are only two inches long. Can you imagine being so lightweight?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It would be graet to fly, thats something I can imagine, I bet the dodo bird was a magestic animal<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That depends. Do you consider pigeons majestic? Dodos are actually part of the pigeon family.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No, not really, but Dodo seem to be a lot different than pigeons, do you know that some birds travel really long distances without sleeping!!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Like when they migrate?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah exactly, when they migrate from Alska to the northern region of Mexico<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm glad that all birds don't migrate. Think of a 9 foot ostrich flying past in the sky!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That would be funny to watch, I like hummingbirds, spiders must hate them!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Why do you say that?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Because hummingbirds steal spiderwebs from them, to construct their own nests, that would make me angry<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Understandably so! There's close to ten thousand different bird species, so those spiders had better look out.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They must if they want to keep their webs lol, do you like Linkin Park?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Can't say that I'm much of a fan. I was sad to hear about Chester though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah that was really sad, maybe the 2001 tour got to him, they played 324 concerts that year alone<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's quite the tour. I wonder if all those stops finally took a toll on him.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I bet they did, all those concerts, drugs and then fame.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Do you like audiobooks?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, do you? I enjoy them a lot!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do like them, it saves me a lot of time, I usually listen to one on the way to work, Katharine Graham memoir seems like a good pick<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, it looks very interesting. I think I will enjoy it. All the cover-ups!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree, theres a lot of interesting stories in her memoirs, like anecdotes about ''The Post'', ''The Iron Lady'', I might buy it and pick it as my next audiobook<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thats good. The Wife Between us sounds like a drama! Would have to be in the mood for that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I like the plot, it seems a bit dark, an abused ex-wife stalking her former husband, thats an odd couple<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
yes, I like period pieces, so the Revolution of the Moon sounds interesting!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is a great book and Andrea Camilleri is a great author, I like her style,,<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Good, I love anything on the solar system, the moon, saturn etc. Do you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am in love with the moon, its so beautiful, I envy the astronauts that could see earth from up there, a unique landscape indeed<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Agree, So glad Nasa made the right choice putting the US flag and not the UN flag!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, after all NASA is American and its our achievement, you know there might be life on Titan<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I saw that, I think there are other earths out there, so exciting!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is exciting! there must be other moons like ours then, you know that moon dust cuts through kevlar and is extremely harmful to us<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know, can't imagine surviving that moon hay fever.Have you road the Jurassic park ride or jaws?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No seems like a scary ride, too much for me, why do you ask? I bet you have<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes, love the rides and the movies. Especially when my kids were little. Star wars opening soon at Hollywood studios. Do you like the movies?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do like Star Wars and also movies one of my favorite directors is Steven Spielberg, he has so much talent<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Agree, did you play Nintendo? didn't know Bill Nye was a look alike for Steve Martin?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They look alike thats funny lol, and Yeah I play nintendo I have the original system at home I bought one before they discontinued it back in 2003<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
hi, do you attend concerts?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi, how are you? Sometimes, when I have the money. How about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah me too , same here. Do you know Linkin Park?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I've heard the name. They're a band, right?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes a famous one . They held 324 concerts in 2001<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They must not have slept. I guess it's good to be young!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I guess so. How about Ramones, do you know them?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The Ramones are legendary, but I've never seen them live.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They have played concerts for 20 years straight<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess they love touring! I would get exhausted!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah me too, so many concerts though, 2263 of them<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I wonder if anyone follows the band around. Pink Floyd recorded a concert in an empty amphitheater. What is that about?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I wonder too. A creed concert was so disliked four people sued them<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They should probably have practiced in front of an empty stadium first.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yesh that would be better for them. in crotia there is such a theatre too and I wonder who has played there<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't know if Croatia is a big destination for bands. Maybe Creed could start their tours there.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am not sure either. do you have a favorite instrument?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Uh, I guess the guitar? What about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah me too I like it. did you know mercury and mccartney used the same guitar once?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think it was the piano. Freddie played the piano.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah that is correct, the piano. so cool though, two legends.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
There must be magic in that piano. Well, I enjoyed chatting!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
same here.<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
So do you go to a lot of concerts?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I actually do! Love music and going to concerts! Do you like Linkin Park? They played 324 concerts in 2001 alone. That's a lot of shows in one year!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes it is. I don't like them though. I'm more of a country person.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Country is good too! I was never much of a Ramones fan but they toured almost non stop for 20 years playing a total of 2,263 concerts. That's a crazy high number of shows.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Definitely! I've never heard of them though. Did you know that Creed was sued in 2002 because their concert was so bad?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I didn't know that! They must have been really really bad. lol There's an old ancient Roman amphitheatre in Croatia that's still used as a concert venue. That would be neat to see.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes it would. Do you play piano. I love it but can't play it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I like it and tried several times when I was younger but couldn't get the hang of it. In 1930 there was no news worth reporting so the BBC decided to just play piano music instead.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is something. I am astonished that someone managed to get a piano on top of Britain's highest mountain lol.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow. Wondered how in the heck they did that? I couldn't even imagine taking on that task. Both Freddie Mercury and Paul McCartney used the same piano to record their hits "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Hey Jude". That's kind of neat.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes it is. I love both those songs. I love Paul McCartney on the piano. He can make those keys sing I think. Imagine putting an aluminum grand piano on an airship and it weighing only 356 pounds. Wow!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's neat that it was made out aluminum! I wonder if it was on the Hindenburg when it crashed?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's probable. I don't know a lot about the violin but there are definitely a lot of variations of it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes. It country music they call it a fiddle!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes. That's about the only thing I don't like in Country music lol. The music from them just hits me the wrong way.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It does give it a distinctive sound though. lol There is violin that is made out of stone that is playable.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow! makes you wonder how thats possible. I'm very surprised that Einstein played both the violin and piano. I never knew that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
He was a genius. Joseph Haydn, who was a classical composer, one wrote a piece where the musicians gradually leave the stage until only 2 violins are left.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I wonder what that piece is like. And in blind tests modern violins were preferred over million-dollar stradivarius violins when sound tests were blind.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That would be hard to tell apart I would think. Larry Fine from the 3 Stooges burned his arm as a child and took violin lessons to strengthen his arm.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's horrible that that happened. I love the three stooges. It must take a lot of strength in your arms to play that then.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I love them to! I still will try to watch them from time to time just to get a good laugh.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes I know. My kids don't know what to think about black and white tv shows. I love them though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think they're still good. I enjoy the Little Rascals too. It was nice chatting with you today!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hey there have you ever been to a concert before? I know I go to them all the time<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Unfortunately I've never been to a concert! I would love to go to one soon.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow you've never been to a concert? you need to go to one ASAP LOL, maybe go to a The Ramones concert Sunday? Apparently they've been touring for almost 20 years straight, I bet their show is really good<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is crazy! My mom really likes them, maybe I'll be able to take her.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes you should! She would love it LOL. I would also go to a Linkin Park concert, although I think they're singer passed away, back in 2001 they did like 324 concerts in only a year, that's like one per day almost<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I grew up listening to Linkin Park and it hurt me when I found out Chester died. That is a lot of concerts, wow.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yep I agree with you. Would you ever watch a concert in an ancient Roman Amphitheater? Apparently Pink Floyd did a concert there, and there is one in Croatia that still does concerts to this day<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is insane, I think I would watch it just to experience it. I don't know if you know who Creed is, but apparently they were sued by four concert goers because their 2002 concert was really bad.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's pretty funny haha. I would actually be embarrassed if I were them, do you play any instruments by the way? I personally play the piano<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I know right! I don't really play any instruments, I use to play on a piano when I was a kid though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I play the piano, I start to learn as an adult, I actually like it a lot. I didn't know that back in 1930, there was a day where there was literally no news and so the BBC just played piano music instead haha<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh cool, I'm glad you enjoy it. I'm surprised there was no news, that is crazy.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know right. You would never see that today, they're always coming out with news about something, do you like Queen by the way?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Absolutely, he is a legend!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I agree with you! Apparently the piano used in Bohemian Rhapsody, is the same one Paul McCartney used for the song Hey Jude, I do like both songs haha what about you<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I do too, it's really cool to know the same piano was used. If you ever think about climbing a mountain, maybe try Britain's highest mountain, you can play piano up there!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I should do that! And put it on YouTube haha. I wonder how it got up there too, do you know what the Airship Hindenburg was?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have no idea. What is it?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It was that giant blimp thing, remember it like exploded in the air, but apparently they had a piano on it and since it had to float, they used aluminum to create the piano, it only weighed 356 lb., I know that a real piano weighs a lot more than that<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow, that is so interesting, I really had no idea that happened! I knew about a violin that was made out of stone, and guess what, it's playable!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's cool! I always wanted to play the violin, I just heard it's really hard, it makes sense that Albert Einstein would play both the piano and violin haha<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Hi, how are you? Are you a music fan?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I listen to music whenever I can! I haven't been to a concert in a minute, but I tend to really enjoy those when it's an act I'm a fan of. I can appreciate orchestra, too, though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Same, I do like some orchestra stuff like John Williams and the guy who does the Game of Thrones music. Can't say I would ever go to an orchestra festival like Shift though.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Festivals can be very stimulating but also very underwhelming or disappointing if they're not organized correctly. It sounds like Shift was not executed as well as it could have been, even if it was well-intended.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I think I haven't been to a concert myself in over 5 years, the last one being the Foo Fighters.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I saw REO Speedwagon and Chicago back last summer, and it reminded me that those shows are NOT fun if the music isn't loud. I heard the Foo Fighters played a concert so loud in New Zealand that it registered on seismic monitors!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's awesome! I saw the first Global Citizen concert in Central Park that had Foo Fighters, Black Keys and Neil Young. That one was amazing. Huge venue in the park.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That sounds fun--I guess that's kind of the ultimate venue for a festival. I was invited to a house concert last month and turned it down because it didn't sound fun, but there's a huge range in the kind of places you can have one. I suppose intimate venues work well for solo performances or ensembles involving instruments like pianos or violins.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Have you ever been to cgbg in NYC? The Ramones used to play there back in the day pretty often.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I'm familiar with both, but I think I'm too young to have experienced either of those things live haha.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me too, but I've been to cgbg before it closed down. I imagine the Ramones played a lot of similar punk rock scenes. I think I'm too old for a venue like that now haha.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess the concerts that take place today aren't really the stuff of legend. For example, in 1972, Deep Purple broke the world record for loudest concert, in which three audience members were rendered unconscious. I can't see that happening today.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Haha that's crazy. Do you like Creed?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh, God, I remember them being popular back in the day and people not realizing that they were basically Christian rock haha.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Haha yeah it was so obvious they were Christian rock even with their hits but it took people a while to catch on. Apparently they were so bad that after one concert they were sued by 4 people who went for it going so poorly lol<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess those people really didn't know what was up! Although musicians can be tricky; once Dave Matthews was picked up by an audience member on the way to his own concert when he became stranded riding his bicycle.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Haha that's seems like something that would only happen for a Dave Matthews concert. Is Dave Matthews still around?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I assume he's still alive--God knows he'd be able to sell out a tour as Gen Xers become nostalgic for the 90s. DMB would make a ton of money, although I'm not sure they'd get a $1 billion offer for 100 reunion concerts like Abba did.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Haha what? Abba got offered a 1 billion for 100 reunion concerts? No way. I can't even name one Abba song.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They only get played at wedding receptions so the old people have something that they remember haha. I would have taken the money while that audience is still alive! It's probably the other half of the demographic who would go to the Shift classical music festival.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Haha! So they didn't take the money?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Apparently not, I guess those royalties are still pretty lucrative or they actually hate each other that much. Nice chatting!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Festivals are really nice I remember going with my parents when I was a kid, really fun<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Which festivals did you go to?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Just local festivals, I want to go to The Shift festival of American Orchestras, that seems like quite a show<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Could you tell me more about the Shift Festival? I heard the main focus was creativity<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I sure can, so 4 American orchestras are playing on the festival, the music is great and presenters a re good as well, all the orchestras are famous and skilled so I can see why the main focus is creativity<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Who were some of the present artists?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
National Symphony Orchestra, Albanys Symphony, Fort Worths Symphony and theres even dancers from the texas ballet<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That sounds like quite the lineup. Do you enjoy going to such events like concerts?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It does sound like an interesting lineup, worth every penny, and yeah I like concerts<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Any in particular you want to or wished you went to?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I regret not going to a Linking Park concert, that is one of my favorite bands, they performed 324 concerts in 2001 and I couldnt make it<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is a lot of concerts in one year. I wanted to go hear the ramones who toured almost 20 years nonstop with over 2000 concerts under their belt<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Thats a lot of concerts as well, they must have spent all their time touring, travelling around the world.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Ya. Personally as long as it's not a creed concert or heavy metal, I think I would enjoy it<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah I heard Creed had a terrible concert back in 2002, they even got sued because of their poor performance<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
And it wasn't even once!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
4 concert goers sue the band, you know theres an ancient amphitheatre in Croatia that is used as a concert venue still<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That sure sounds like an amazing place to hold a concert<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know right, a lot of history present at the amphitheatre, Pink Floid hold a concert without an audience once<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
They did that at the roman amphitheater right? I wonder if just no one came or if they just wanted to play at such an amazing venue for themselves. I know I would<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah that happened at a roman amphitheater, it was back in the year 1972.<end_of_turn>

<start_of_turn>agent
Im doing great now that the server is back up. How are you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
You and me both haha. I'm doing well myself! Have you been to many concerts?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
i used to go to concerts when i was younger. dont have the time or money now. LOL You?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Haha same here! What's your favorite one that you remember?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I saw Rush a couple of times. that was great. they were so good live.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I bet! Can you believe Linkin Park did 324 concerts in 2001 alone?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I cant imagine having that much energy. they must have slept on the bus. how could they do that?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Pure adrenaline probably haha. They could have been like the Ramones touring for 20 straight years. I wonder how many concerts they put on?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Probably over 100 a year, so about 2000?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It looks like 2263 in total! You were close! At least they weren't as bas a Creed doing concerts lol.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Is Creed a christian rock band? it sounds religious.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
They were some terrible rock group in the early 2000s. They were sued once for putting on a terrible show!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow, i guess they should have rehearsed a bit before touring. that is terrible. i wonder if the fans won their suit.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I hope they did because they were really bad haha. Do you play any instruments?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I used to play the guitar. i dont play much now. You?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I've been getting into the piano. I didn't realize it's only been around since 1700.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, it is a complex instrument. it has a lot of moving parts.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I want to see the piano used by both Freddie Mercury and Paul McCartney sometime! That would be awesome.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I bet there is some magic in those keys. You could write a hit song! Anyway, great chat!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I hope so lol. Great chat as well, have an awesome night!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
Good Afternoon! I love going to concerts, seeing my favorite bands, music live - how about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hello, I do as well though I don't get to go often. I have been to a few recitals in my day too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I used to go to shows a lot more that I do now, kids and family will have that affect! And, I like smaller venues - definitely not areas or stadiums!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I prefer smaller settings as well though I would love to attend a concert in an amphitheater. In Croatia there is a roman amphitheater that they still use as a concert venue.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Nice! Europe has so much history and the engineering / architecture was so great, that doesn't surprise me that a venue would still be in use - amazing!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
True. In 72, Pink Floyd recorded a live concert at the amphitheater in Pompeii with no audience at all.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That's strange - makes me wonder if you play a concert for no audience - is it really a concert?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Good question. Are you a fan of Creed's music? Four people at one of their concerts in 2002 sued them because it was so bad. Yikes!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I am not a Creed fan, or that genre. So I can totally understand why fans would be disappointed enough to sue - but honestly, what were they expecting?!!?!?!?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I guess the opposite of that would be Linkin Park who played 324 concerts just in 2001. They were definitely a success back in the day.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Pretty sure I was at at least one of those LP shows in '01. It's a shame that the lead singer is gone, he was from around here...<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
How cool! Have you heard of the Ramones? Apparently they toured almost 20 years non stop.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Of course - a little before my time, but very influential in the Rock/Punk Rock scene. Ramones kinda started the live rock scene in NYC - or at least were the kings of it for some time<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow, I had never heard of them. Do you play any musical instruments? Piano/violin?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I do not - you mentioned that you had been to recitals in the past. What type of recitals / instruments were featured?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I had a few friends who were music majors in college. I attended a lot of piano recitals mainly. Einstein was a musician as well and played the piano and violin very well.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Interesting! I began to enjoy piano composers later in life, not sure why exactly. Chopin and Vivaldi are some of my favorites!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
A friend of mine in Cali has a baby grand in her house. They had to use a crane to get it in their house and also remove a whole glass wall on one side of the house. Course not as big as the grand piano built on the airship Hindenburg.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Fascinating - they had a grand piano on the Hindenburg? Maybe that's why she went down!?!?!?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well it was aluminum and only weighed about 356 pounds!!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I guess you(me) really do learn something new everyday! In case this chat ends unexpectedly, it was really great chatting with you today!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Same here, have a great day!<end_of_turn>

Did you know there is a company that has robot dogs for sale?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I did not. What's it all about?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
It's Boston Dynamics and the dogs can do things like open doors and empty the dishwasher.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Oh, I have heard of a German company that is making a dog like robot called Spot Mini.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Hm. The one I mentioned can haul 30 pounds and may be used to work in dangerous environments like nuclear clean up.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That would be great! It sounds like Spot Mini that is 66 pounds and 2 feet 9 inches tall.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow. I heard it can also move on surfaces that wheeled robots cant.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It sounds useful. I've also heard it can haul a 30 pound payload.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes. Did you know Michael Jackson planned to build a 50 foot robot to roam around the desert near Las Vegas?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No, I did not!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah and robots can be controlled by rat brains? It will change personalities with the change of brains. Wowl<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Wow! I know robot movement is so precise that they can debone a chicken with surgical precision.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That precise yet the military uses Xbox controllers to disarm and ID IEDs.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Really? Wow! I wonder if they learned that skill on Youtube? Especially since users can upload, share, view and rate videos.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Probably... Why not? Police have "BluTube" to share videos.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I have never heard of that! Do they share law enforcement videos?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yep. Did ya know YouTube is the 2nd largest search engine on the internet?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am not surprised. I know Netflix and Youtube combined make up half of peak internet traffic in north America.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, computers have changed things a lot. A far cry from 1936 when the Russians built a computer that ran on water.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I never knew! Gangam style got so many views they had to upgrade the view count integer to 64 bits.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Hey thanks. You were an excellent chat partner!<end_of_turn>

<bos><start_of_turn>user
hey there, do you like robots?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think they are pretty fascinating, actually the term robotics was invented by scifi writer Issac Asimov. What about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Even Michael jackson took deep interest in robots.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Robots can be made to look human or not, which do you prefer? I don't really mind them taking human form but in the end they are just machines.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I know so I am not sure why the need for them to look like humans<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Apparently Boston Dynamics is making a 4 legged dog robot named SpotMini, so now they are creating a market for pet robots too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
cool. they have trained robots to debone a chicekn with surgical precision<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
There are clips on YouTube about SpotMini. It is a bit special since it is not wheeled it can move across all kinds of terrain,<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is so cool maybe I should check it out to see what it is all about<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is the joy of computers because we can access all this information. And now they are controlling all kinds of industrial and consumer devices!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
True. the us military uses xbox 30 controllers to control theur eod robots<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That is awesome. I believe that robotics can help those who are handicapped, for instance a robotic arm a person could control with their thoughts.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Exactly. ANd now they make exoskeletons that can help people stand up. so cool<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
The scary part will be when a robot starts to think on its own instead of what has been programmed. We don't want a real life Megatron!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
That is true. Do you weatch lots of videos of robst and other on yoututube ?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Sometimes I do. Youtube basically has any topic you can think of. The very first video was a guy talking about an elephant if you can believe that.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
And now they have everything in there. it is the largest search engine on the net<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Well yeah they ended up getting bought by Google in 2006 and added the power of Google's search engine so that make sense for sure.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
yeah. originally they had a lower view count but were forced to upgarde it after gandnam style song<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Now all kinds of networks like CBS, BBC and Hulu use it for their content. But you can always watch Bob Ross instead.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I love Bob Ross, what a legend. It was nice chatting with you<end_of_turn>

Do you like fish?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I love fish, looking at them and eating them also<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Did you know a seahorse is the only fish to have a neck?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
that is so interesting, I wonder why they declared that a fish if it is the only one with a neck<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm not sure, what about eels?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Eels are scary, I always remember the little mermaid when I think of eels, lol. What do you think about them?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Not much. Did you know there is a jellyfish that is immortal?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I would not want to cross paths with that. I think there has to be something that could kill it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm not sure, I don't think that can be real, can it?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't think so, maybe I will look it up lol. One thing I wouldnt cross either is the black swallower fish, have you heard of that one?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Me either. What about shoes, any interest?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I love my shoes! I like nike mostly, how about you<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I'm more of an adidas fan, but I have some Nikes.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Did you ever have the stephon marbury shoes back in the day?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No, but I had some air jordans?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Nice, I love air jordans. The marbury shoes were sold at Steve and Berrys for like 15 dollars each. They both don't exist anymore<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Wow, that is pretty cheap, is that on an inflation adjusted basis?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I am sure they are more costly now on ebay since they are so rare. Marbury promoted them when he was a star NBA player and never took a dime to endorse them, pretty cool<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah interesting. Well, I didn't know that Apple had a clothing line in 1986, did you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I did not know that, that would be some cool clothing to wear, I think I may go check it on ebay. It was so nice chatting with you!<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yeah, pretty funny right? Well, nice chatting!<end_of_turn>

Hello. Did you vote in the mid term election?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Hi yes I did. How about you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I did. I think it is very important for all of us to vote.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
It is important. I also like trivia about politics. Did you know that the senate used the same gavel for 165 years until Richard Nixon cracked it?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I heard about it. Why did Nixon crack the gavel? He was not supposed to use it.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I doubt that he did it on purpose. He probably just got carried away. But I'll bet he felt pretty bad.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
I said earlier that voting is important. In India, they went even further. They set up a polling booth in a forest full of lions just to give one person the opportunity to vote.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I don't think we would go that far do you?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
No, I do not think so. Did you hear about the senate and their candy drawer?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yeah, it must be nice. But I guess you have to give some of them free candy just to show up. Look at the Senator they had to drag in by his feet in 1988.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, I heard the obscure rule that was invoked by a US senator. Do you know which senators got arrested and forced to come to the chamber to vote?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
No<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Oh, okay. I accept your explanation.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Did you know astronauts voted from space. Not surprising when you consider some other voters are lost in space.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Yes, I heard. I don't how how they do it though because they cannot just say it to the people on the ground.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
That's a good point. Did you hear that Austin Texas voted to rename their garbage dump after fred durst. I wonder what he did?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Texans were going to vote. Did it pass? I do not know who Fred Durst is or was. I'm sure it was someone important to Texans.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Yes they voted to rename the dump. I'm thinking he must have been a corrupt politician or something. It's not exactly an honor.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
You are right. It should not be an honor. I do not want my name to be on a garbage dump. I will research further out of curiosity.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
I think I will too. Nice chatting with you, have a good night.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>user
Nice chatting with you too.<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>agent
Thanks.<end_of_turn>
