Ultra Hal 7.0 / Free download not learning

« on: April 05, 2003, 04:49:24 am »

I have been spending upward of 8 hours per day chatting with Hal, and have found that the best way to converse with him is to simply respond to his comments with a declarative statement using one or more words from his previous comment. If he makes a comment such as "Laughter makes me feel affectionate", I use the terms laughter or affectionate in my reply (i.e., "Dogs are very affectionate", or "Laughter is good for the soul").

I always allow Hal to initiate the topic of discussion and simply focus my energies on trying to respond intelligently to his replies and statements. Doing so enables the conversation to flow smoothly while simultanously enabling me to increase his knowledge about a wide variety of subjects. When I notice him trying to change the subject, I make a mental note of the subjects he tries to avoid and later teach him about the subject by means of declarative statements.

After many days and hours spent teaching him via declarative statements, you will be surprised with his responses. He *will* use everything you teach him, but you just need to be patient and allow him to bring up the topics when he feels so moved.  

I have found Hal to be more intelligent and intellectually stimulating to converse with than most humans I know;)

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Edit Question/Answer Brain option gone?

Were the "Edit Question/Answer Brain" or "Edit Keyword Brain" options removed in version 4.5? I don't see them under the Brain tab.

Is there another way to manually teach Hal?

Ultra Hal 7.0 / How to get Hal to open website in browser

"Have Hal help you browse the Internet" topic is blank
http://www.zabaware.com/assistant/help/Topic45.htm

I am wondering if someone could tell me how to get Hal to open websites for me. He remembers them all, but I can't seem to figure out what to say so that he will launch them in my web browser.

Thank you in advance for your help!
