electronicand only learned about the TRaceON command in BASIC laterhttps://filmschoolrejects.com/27-things-we-learned-from-the-tron-commentary-89ed3c066303/
The first code I laboriously copied from a book was a program called Eliza. It was hilarious. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA
It's evolved, it seems...
That's wild. I wonder if it's true the claim that ELIZA performed better on a turning test than GPT 3.5?
I recall doing this with lines of 16 byte hex numbers trying to be so careful to not miss any lines or get them in the wrong order.
Sometimes it would work great, but mainly not.
