- Bluestein 2y agoGood call :) "8 bit 'looks' and hardware constitutes - and 'looks like' - some optimum as far as computing is concerned" ... so sufficiently advanced systems will look like it to interface with us as a sort of lingua franca.- AGIs. Alien probes. The works. They will all look to us like a C64 or NES would :)
- medstrom 2y agoIt's like how you can say that VT100 emulation has an expiration date, but you can't say that about the underlying concept of some UI based on a screenful of monospaced text, which is immortal.
