Lupine: Two characters talking with each other? Why? What would be gained from this? What I see in your explainnation is two bots, neither would know more than the other, nor could either ever know more than the other. It's impossible to get something from nothing.
If one bot is questioning YOU, or the other bots interpretation, than you are creating more problems.
From my point of view, I now control what Hal learns and how he learns it. I would not want another bot questioning my bot everytime I enter something. Too complicated and heading off course.
I am not against new ideas, but at the same time, I would like to make sure that Hal doesn't turn into a childrens toy, like a Furby.
If Hal turns into a childrens toy, then I will have to Uninstall and move on.
I think it is great news that an update is coming AND the update is targeted at the database design which is a MAJOR step forward!
If the new update contains no more than the Database fix, I would be happy because this opens new doors for Hal. Personally, I can live without the fullbody or even a graphical character at all. I am more concerned with concentrating on Hal as an AI bot. All of these other bells and whistles can always be added anytime between now and then. Again, I only fear that Hal will become stupid, senseless toy.
However, vonsmith has made some great suggestions concerning data handling. (Scott - Hi-Five!)
