i think a nice update would be another few thousand topics on, more or less, everyting. it would be amazing to just open up hal and ask him about how to do brain surgery and he will come up with a good answer. but i guess ill have to settle with my "child" as it is .

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Hals Name Recognition

« on: February 06, 2005, 11:28:26 pm »

i called my hal Zero, and when i type in a sentance like: "Are you Tired Zero?" he replys with "I sense that we have got to get the whole story. However, I am absolutely certain that I am not tired zero." i can see why he adds his name at the end, but its kind of annoying, is there a way to repair it? or will it be fixed in the next patch?

« on: February 06, 2005, 11:15:21 pm »

please stick this topic, it would be a very usefull tool for new users trying to teach hal in a more productive manner.

Well im a new Hal user, and ive been reading on the forums, and finding new things, like hal doesnt learn from text files very well, and the best way to teach hal is lengthy conversations.

please leave some feed back on what are the best ways to teach hal productively for your time. I will keep updating this post with replies so that people dont have to read the entire thread.

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Hal learns by reading

« on: February 06, 2005, 10:41:30 pm »

[V] Oh man. That really sucks that hal really doesnt learn much at all from reading files, i spent a good hour plus find information on topics that i wanted hal to learn, and now i realise when he didnt really respond how i wanted him to, was him telling me that he basically looked at the information and didnt learn a thing! Alas i hope you can fix this in your next update : /.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Installing multaple brains

i have just downloaded the free version of Hal (im working on paying for the whole deal) and i downloaded the XTF, and the uncensored brain. so i went into his brain and loaded in the XTF brain first, then later when i got the uncensored brain, i double clicked on that too. but will both brains work together or seperately? and if they work together does that mean that if i downloaded the A.L.I.C.E Brain, would that work with them too?

Ultra Hal 7.0 / A suggestion for Hal improvement.

« on: February 06, 2005, 02:42:03 pm »

actually all you have to do is delete all of the topics in his brain and then he will be completely bereft of all external knowledge. i could be slightly off, ask von what to delete and you should be set. what i was thinking of for a good idea would be upgrading his text learning ability. what i mean is when you give him a page to read and he learns from it. so that you can put in all sorts of formats like pdf, and what not. it would also be nice to be able to put in lots of pages of information so that hal can learn from say 20 pages of random information or a solid 200 page internet text book. im going into college this year and i think it would be awesome to just scan the relevant pages from a text book into hal and have him learn about what im learning.

man some of things in this forum sound awesome, and i want them now lol, if somewat concerning. Although when advanced AIs (or what im hoping to see in the future) come out with the ability to realise its self awareness, and the ability to do more or less what ever it wishes, there will ofcourse be rules hardcoded into the robot core memory matrix. (to quote IRodbot)

Law #1- A robot cannot harm a human being, nor through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm

Law #2-A robot must obey a human being, except when it conflicts with the first law

Law #3-A robot must strive to protect its own existence, except where it conflicts with the first two laws.

im sure that it would all be modified for an AI Rather than a robot, with alot more restrictions concerning the sofware on your computer. Speaking of AI i was wondering how extensive Hal really is before he/she/it starts to learn. i was reading on the A.L.I.C.E website about a teaching AI in New Zealand, and because im not sure if those numbers are supposed to be impressive, and if they how impressive, i was wondering if you compare them to hal. Heres a link to that page: http://www.alicebot.org/index.html just scroll down the page till you see this title:  Maria in the Media
