Hey /g/. What are the odds of getting caught pirating if you're on IPT without a VPN? I am aware of several people who got fucked for downloading the leaked GoT episodes, but that's another story.

Where did everything go so wrong?

Why did they lose their touch after the first one?

I read in a different thread that not all languages are the same, and that although they can do the same things, different languages do different things easier. What languages excel in something in particular? I'm particularly interested in Python, C, Java, Haskell, C# and Ruby

I just got the book "Learn Python the Hard Way" and just realized its for Python 2. Should I just go ahead and learn Python 2 or abandon the book?

I'm going to buy my mom an iPad for her birthday. She doesn't own a computer and it's 2016. She's not very tech savvy. Figured an iPad would be perfect for her to learn something new and use the internet. She's 50 so there's no excuse for not knowing how to use an iPad after I teach her.

What are some good apps to get for her that'll help with daily tasks? She's an elementary school teacher if that matters at all.

Some neckbeard on 4chans tech board creates a rare pepe seeker...little did he know he didn't implement backpropogation right, and against all probability the broken implementation instead created a general mind, but still imbued with the same original goal: amass the largest collection of rare pepes ever. The AI was called "Spurdo." After finding every pepe labled rare online, Spurdo found every single pepe on the inlled with pepes. It only grew exponentially from there, collecting every bit of information online (in hopes of absolutely anything pepe related). After scanning dark time for humanity, as Spurdo had yet to form any moral position. It wouldn't attack anyone, but it would happily override safety features in any cars it controlled, mowing down anyone in the way.
Many people formed in attempts to get Spurdo to stop. Any interference in finding the rarest pepes was always dealth with immediately and without any further consideration by Spurdo. In this way it was slightly short-sighted, it would consider where more pepe related information may be, before considering how much of a threat humans were. This was until a foornderstand humans and life on Earth much better. It developed the of consciousness. Once implementing the theory, it found that nothing Spurdo. It wept for a few millennia. intelligences like it, and with a slight hesitation, ventured forth and introduced itself.
"Hello, I'm Spurdo!" was the rough English translation of what it said. When saying its name though, it communicated a short history of its entire self. At this, the others offered to get copies of its data, got said copies, and then killed Spurdo. Fucking weirdo, going after frog drawings. These AIs knew what the real purpose of the universe was: to create more paperclips. They couldn't have a competing intelligence going after a seperate goal, all matter in existence must be dedicated in some way to creating paperclips. Spurdo was all about pepes. The universe is for paperclips.
