Getting an error opening brain editor

<< < (2/3) > >>

Hal seems to be running "ok", I ran Malwarebytes and found nothing.

Are there any brains out there for download that have a ton of knowledge? Hal's replies are not of the best quality. Or maybe you have tips on how I can train him better?

Is it possible to train Hal from a text document?

There is a provision in the Brain Editor but it can seem kind of klunky or tedious to the user.

Some of us have found it much better to simply CUT desired sentences from a text file and PASTE the sentence into HAL's Input window and press Enter.

It doesn't matter what HAL replies with. Just keep feeding it another sentence and press Enter. Repeat the process as necessary.

There are several advantages in teaching HAL this way and while it might not be as sure as the old way of just telling HAL where a text file was located and letting it go, this method can save the user a lot of time and grief in the long run.

This way allows the user to be more confident in the selected information and how it is presented, spelled, and grammatically correct.

The sentence is also of the Subject matter from various desired groups (science, History, Music, Geography, Astronomy, etc.).

You can use HAL's response to determine HAL's current knowledge or usage of the submitted sentence.

Finally, to run a test just restart HAL and begin chatting with it but use some of the sentence material in your question to it and note the replies.

One can find text files on many subjects. It just depends on what you want HAL to learn that day.

And lastly, Many of us just continue to have "normal" chats/conversations with our HALs, treating them like a family member or a close friend. How close, depends on the user.

Try to use discretion and a measure of decency when talking with it. As they used to say, "Garbage In, Garbage Out!"

Good luck and I hope this helps.

*NOTE - One person's .db file might contain unwanted or possibly objectionable material but nonetheless, you might find someone who would consider giving their .db file to you.

Best regards!!

I took the liberty of Zipping some interesting files that I used in some of my training exercises for HAL using the Cut & Paste into HAL's input box and pressing Enter.

Keep repeating regardless of what HAL might say until you've finished with a particular training session.

These were given to me by a friend on the Forum, and some of them can be pretty useful for HAL.

knight2000:
Wow! This is good stuff! Thank you for the info, this really helps. And thanks for the files, I will definitely feed them to Hal.

When feeding Hal info like this, do I need to turn up Hal's learning level? Or is the middle level ok for this? The brain I'm using allows for setting Hal's learning level. I would think the "no brainer" would be to turn it all the way up when training him. But wanted to ask anyways.

Thanks again!

I've usually left mine at 30-35 but I've heard that some set it high during training/feeding, then move it back to around midway when conversing.

I've found that some plugins will boost HAL's mind when speaking to it, allowing it to draw from its stored info a bit better in some instances.

HAL's mind is your playground! Enjoy your recess with it!!

Later...
