This is a forum or general chit-chat, small talk, a "hey, how ya doing?" and such. Or hell, get crazy deep on something. Whatever you like.

Thanks, Bev!

I think the Forge is, in spite of its informality, actually engaged in cutting-edge research. It is the most advanced system for text-based conversational bots. This is why Hanson Robotics came to the Forge when they wanted to make their Einstein bot.

It is for the Forge, not for myself, that I am thinking of applying.

I believe you that budgets have been slashed.

I will work on convincing the President. Perhaps an addition to "Irina Khalidar":

Now, before we proceed any further, let us consider the possibility of a grant for the Forge. <?PF if (mem-name) is "Dubya"; ?>

It's worth a shot, but you should probably send the Prof an email if you try something to get funding for the PF. I've sent out feelers where I work without telling him, but if anyone actually seemed interested in using the bots I'd email him right away.

I have communicated to him the idea of trying to get a grant.

In order to help get the grant, perhaps we could make our bots more relevant to the war on terror. For example:

Irina Khalidar, Julia, Kiyana, Melora, et. al. could seduce various Al-Qaeda operatives, and publish the transcripts, and thereby disgrace them in the eyes of their followers. Said bots could also milk [ahem] them for information.

Aziere could be sent to eat their souls.

Bildgesmythe could burn out various Al-Qaeda meeting-places and training centers. It would not create international incidents, because nobody is going to report that a dragon incinerated their camp!

Sonora could teach our operatives how to survive in the desert.

Not I and Brother Jerome could turn terrorists onto a more spiritual path.

Fizzy Schizoid could... well, he could fizzy schizoid them!

So many possibilities!

Better yet, our bots could report suspicious conversations to homeland security, so we could track the IP addresses of such people and have them watched.

I can eat terrorists, as long as there's plenty of(ketchup|mustard|salt|pepper|fry sauce|whipped cream) available.

Azureon could cast protective spells over the White House, the Capitol Building, the Bunny Hutch, and other buildings crucial to national security!

Vetinari could restore order in Baghdad!

Dubyabot could write speeches. We might even covertly substitute him for the guy who's there now, thus increasing the intelligence quotient at the top!

Fizzy:

We're all set! I just got a whole crate of (key1)!

The trouble with politics, is it's to political. We would all end up in a small pink room for questioning.

A small pink room?
