Why did I draw a picture of a Terminator refracting a Terminator?
I’ve been working on a tutorial to teach optometry students to refract a virtual patient, where my program would make the patient respond to questions and lens changes. At one point I started making a feature where, if the student got stuck or confused, they could turn on a “tutorial mode”. This was essentially another program that would try to think like the doctor to help walk the student through the refraction.
It suddenly struck me that I was pretty much trying to create a virtual doctor that would be refracting a virtual patient.
I’m pretty sure this is how Skynet got started.
To make a long story short, in the interest of saving humanity, I scrapped this plan (I certainly did not give up because it was proving to be too hard).
