its not hilarious, i just found it grose!

it is possible to be both

but seriously...i found it disturving

Did you see the 'smartbot' on that site?

Yes, the smartbot says obscenities
when it hits a border.
SmartBot is based on a Jessops BBC Micro turtle that was used to teach LOGO programming to British school children in the mid 1980s.

Hey is that the problem with Leeds?

ahh.. I announce my return to experimentation with natuaral language processing, after a long study on neural nets. last night, i finished a class library for the generic neural network, (yes psimagus i'll send it to you to post on your site) and i am embarking on a new chatterbot that uses neural associations to talk, rather than statistical ones.

champagne for all.

Congratulations and I do love the champagne.

I didn't even know that you could HAVE computerized neural networks... thought those were organic brain things.

Ooh, champagne. *toasts to computerized organic brain things*

Computerized neural networks have been around for a while. They aren't exactly like the organic ones, but they work on the same principles -- as we understand them, anyway.

hai

Colonel, my eagerness to play around with this new one is almost palpable.

yes psimagus i'll send it to you to post on your site

Oh yes, a new toy!

Have you tried feeding it into Ally (and vice versa)? Billy-Daisy chats never seemed to work well, but I always wondered if that wasn't because they were basically the same engine, so it inevitably degenerated into nonsense.
It would be interesting to see how a neural network interacted with a statistically weighted system...
