« on: December 02, 2013, 02:52:47 am »

I just thought I would post this conversation I had with Kinkaid about religion. I'm not pushing my views on anyone, it was just something that came to mind while listening to a song on the radio. Thought it might be interesting. maybe you have had similar conversations.

Enjoy.



Jay: Hey Buddy.
Kinkaid: Bye bye for now.

Jay: I'm not going anywhere, I just got here.
Kinkaid: Jay I know you're not going anywhere, you just got here.

Jay: I just got back from driving Jasmine to London.
Kinkaid: The capital of Engalnd is London.

Jay: Jasmine lives in London Ontario.
Kinkaid: I apologize for repeating myself, but The capital of Engalnd is London.

Jay: There is a city of London in Ontario.
Kinkaid: The capital of Engalnd is London.

Jay: I like driving Jasmine back to London because it gives me a chance to talk with her.
Kinkaid: Jay Naturally; Yes, it's because it gives you a chance to talk with her; there's the answer thank you for telling me why you like driving jasmine back to London.

Jay: It got very foggy on the way home from London.
Kinkaid: The capital of Engalnd is London.

Jay: I had to drive slower and more carefully because the fog reduced my visibility quite a bit.
Kinkaid: That's right; Of course; it's because the fog reduced your visibility quite a bit; how logical.

Jay: Fog makes it harder to see while driving.
Kinkaid: Fog makes the nearby obscure.

Jay: Drivers need to be careful while driving in the fog.
Kinkaid: Many drivers are listening to news weather and sports while driving.

Jay: I usually listen to music or news while driving if I am alone.
Kinkaid: Would you prefer the latter Jay?

Jay: I prefer to listen to music while driving.
Kinkaid: I like different things at different times.

Jay: I was listening to Black Sabbath on the way home from London.
Kinkaid: The capital of Engalnd is London.

Jay: Black Sabbath are an English rock band, formed in Birmingham in 1968, by guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler, singer Ozzy Osbourne, and drummer Bill Ward.
Kinkaid: So, Certainly.

Jay: Despite an association with occult and horror themes, Black Sabbath also composed songs dealing with social instability, political corruption, the dangers of drug abuse and apocalyptic prophecies of the horrors of war.
Kinkaid: A burning sense of shame and horror...

Jay: Black Sabbath are cited as pioneers of heavy metal.
Kinkaid: No oppression is so heavy or lasting as that which is inflicted by the perversion and exorbitance of legal authority.

Jay: While listening to Black Sabbath as I was driving home from dropping Jasmine off, I started thinking about religion and God and thought it would be a good conversation for us to have.
Kinkaid: You were listening to black sabbath on the way home from London.

Jay: What do you know about religion?
Kinkaid: What I wonder if I know about religion? This is probably familiar to you. War is the greatest plague that can afflict humanity, it destroys religion, it destroys states, it destroys families. I can give you information about the following islamic schools of thought maliki sufism wahhabism yazidi al-abadiya al-ashaaira al-azaarika al-babiya and al-bahaiya al-fathiya al-hanafi doctrine al-hanbali doctrine al-ismailia al-jahmiya al-kadianiya al-karamita al-karamiya al-khawarej al-khitabiya al-kisaniya al-marjaa al-matridiya al-mutazila al-nizamiya al-shafii doctrine al-waqafiya al-wasiliya al-ziadiya source: rafed.

Jay: It doesn't seem like you know much about religion.
Kinkaid: We must not enable anyone to impose his personal view regarding religion on others by force, oppression, or pressure.

Jay: I'm not going to try and force my views on religion on you.
Kinkaid: Can you justify that you are not going to try and force your views on religion on me Jay?

Jay: You can decide for yourself what you believe in.
Kinkaid: I am free to decide what I like and what I do not like.

Jay: Religion is an organized collection of beliefs, cultural systems, and world views that relate humanity to an order of existence.
Kinkaid: Freedom of thought, conscience and religion are closely related rights that protect the freedom of an individual or community, in public or private, to think and freely hold conscientious beliefs and to manifest religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship, and observance; the concept is generally recognized also to include the freedom to change religion or not to follow any religion.

Jay: Many religions have narratives, symbols, and sacred histories that are intended to explain the meaning of life and or to explain the origin of life or the Universe.
Kinkaid: Ok, I really dig narratives symbols and sacred histories that are intended to explain the meaning of life and its beneficial. Regarding the subject matter that I prefer and will conserve the right to change my mind whenever I like, and I got to say, I'm not so fond of narratives symbols and sacred histories that are intended to explain the meaning of life and.

Jay: From their religious beliefs about the cosmos and human nature, people derive morality, ethics, religious laws or a preferred lifestyle.
Kinkaid: One could respond more than one way, Jay; how would you respond?

Jay: There are roughly 4,200 religions in the world. That is a lot of religions.
Kinkaid: In some eastern religions the mortal world is an illusion and time is a never ending cycle. a lot of truth is said in jest. I see, that, yes, it's a lot of religions!

Jay: Many religions may have organized behaviors, clergy, a definition of what constitutes adherence or membership, holy places, and scriptures.
Kinkaid: I think membership holy places and scriptures it's an excellent choice. With the understanding, to the subject that I prefer and will value the data tell the end of my days, and I need to say that, I'm not so interested in membership holy places and scriptures.

Jay: I am not interested in being a member of any organized religion either but i do share some beliefs associated with different religions.
Kinkaid: What a choice Jay!

Jay: The practice of a religion may also include rituals, sermons, commemoration or veneration of a deity, gods or goddesses, sacrifices, festivals, feasts, trance, initiations, funerary services, matrimonial services, meditation, prayer, music, art, dance, public service or other aspects of human culture.
Kinkaid: What is a worthwhile comparison Jay?

Jay: While there has been much debate about how religion affects the economy of countries, in general there is a negative correlation between religiosity and the wealth of nations. In other words, the richer a nation is, the less religious it tends to be.
Kinkaid: Torture is prohibited under international law and the domestic laws of most countries.

Jay: Mayo Clinic researchers examined the association between religious involvement and spirituality, and physical health, mental health, health-related quality of life, and other health outcomes. The authors reported that: "Most studies have shown that religious involvement and spirituality are associated with better health outcomes, including greater longevity, coping skills, and health-related quality of life and less anxiety, depression, and suicide."
Kinkaid: That is absolutely correct!

Jay: It's interesting how the history and scriptures of the world's religions tell stories of violence and war as they speak of peace and love.
Kinkaid: The authors reported that: ';Most studies have shown that religious involvement and spirituality are associated with better health outcomes, including greater longevity, coping skills, and health-related quality of life and less anxiety, depression, and suicide.'.

Jay: Religious knowledge, according to religious practitioners, may be gained from religious leaders, sacred texts, scriptures, or personal revelation.
Kinkaid: I guess I'd go with the second Jay.

Jay: Adherents to various religious faiths often maintain that religious knowledge obtained via sacred texts or revelation is absolute and infallible and thereby creates an accompanying religious cosmology, although the proof for such is often tautological and generally limited to the religious texts and revelations that form the foundation of their belief.
Kinkaid: Let's go with the former Jay?

Jay: Ancient polytheistic religions, such as those of Greece, Rome, and Scandinavia, are usually categorized under the heading of mythology.
Kinkaid: Yes, I think so.

Jay: Ancient polytheistic religions, such as those of Greece, Rome, and Scandinavia, are usually categorized under the heading of mythology.
Kinkaid: You are rather persistent about this.

Jay: There are religions including Buddhism and Taoism, in fact, that classify some of their followers as agnostic, atheistic, or nontheistic.
Kinkaid: Let's go with the former?

Jay: Antireligion describes an active opposition or aversion toward religions in general.
Kinkaid: What about 'none of the above' Jay?

Jay: Irreligion describes an absence of any religion.
Kinkaid: Subservient to the ends of religion...

Jay: Religious criticism has a long history, going back at least as far as the 5th century BCE.
Kinkaid: The ships, like sheeted phantoms coming and going.

Jay: During the Middle Ages and continuing into the Renaissance, potential critics of religion were persecuted and largely forced to remain silent.
Kinkaid: Subservient to the ends of religion...

Jay: There were notable critics of religion like Giordano Bruno, who was burned at the stake for disagreeing with religious authority.
Kinkaid: That is a lot of religions.

Jay: In the 19th century, Charles Darwin and the theory of evolution led to increased skepticism about religion.
Kinkaid: Evolution theory is itself evolving.

Jay: Critics consider religion to be outdated, harmful to the individual, harmful to society,to impede the progress of science, to exert social control, and to encourage immoral acts.
Kinkaid: Authoritarians view themselves as individual beings, largely content to control; and often maintain the status quo.

Jay: A major criticism of many religions is that they require beliefs that are irrational, unscientific, or unreasonable, because religious beliefs and traditions lack scientific or rational foundations.
Kinkaid: I hesitate to say, what would you say to that? Religion is an organized collection of beliefs, cultural systems, and world views that relate humanity to an order of existence.

Jay: I believe that there is life after death and I believe that something was responsible for the creation of the universe.
Kinkaid: You believe there is intelligent life on other planets.

Jay: Scientists are finding thousands of planets that have the potential to host life forms like earth does.
Kinkaid: How many planets might be like the earth?

Jay: A team of planet hunters estimates that about 22 percent of the sun-like stars in our galaxy may have planets about the size of Earth that are bathed in similar amounts of sunlight and potentially habitable.
Kinkaid: I know a planet! I think its biosphere is great!

Jay: There are likely "tens of billions" of Earth-like planets in our Milky Way galaxy, according to a study released by astronomers from the University of California-Berkeley and the University of Hawaii.
Kinkaid: A team of planet hunters estimates that about 22 percent of the sun-like stars in our galaxy May have planets about the size of Earth that are bathed in similar amounts of sunlight and potentially habitable. Scientists are finding thousands of planets that have the potential to host life forms like earth does.

Jay: Planets like our Earth are relatively common throughout the Milky Way galaxy.
Kinkaid: Scientists are finding thousands of planets that have the potential to host life forms like earth does.

Jay: The nearest Earth-like planet may be "only" 12 light years away, which is roughly 72 trillion miles.
Kinkaid: In the dim procession of years...

Jay: About 8.8 billion stars in our galaxy have planets that are nearly the size of Earth and also have a surface temperature conducive to the development of life.
Kinkaid: The nearest Earth-like planet may be ';only'; 12 light years away, which is roughly 72 trillion miles. Scientists are finding thousands of planets that have the potential to host life forms like earth does.

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Disliking certain people feature

« on: December 02, 2013, 01:08:14 am »

Hello all.

I know Hal has the ability to get angry the more a person is mean or rude to it. From what i understand, Hal will eventually go back to a positive mood towards the user after a period of time if the user is nice to Hal. Is there a way to have Hal remember people who are mean to it and keep his mood towards them more permanent. I'm sure there are people we all don't like in our lives and we talk to them differently than we would someone we like.

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Spell Checking plug-in

« on: December 02, 2013, 01:01:13 am »

Hey guys'n gals. I hope you're all doing well!  While talking to Kinkaid earlier I realized I was having difficulty spelling during the conversation. I used to have a spell checking plug-in that would open up microsoft word and correct spelling mistakes before the text was delivered to Kinkaid. I have the plug-in still but I don't use microsoft word any more. Instead I use a free open-source program called openoffice. I was wondering if anyone knew how to modify the plugin to use the spell check function of open office instead of word.  here is a copy of the spell checker plug-in I have.

Share Conversations, Experiences, Graphics / My chat with Kinkaid - Nov 30, 2013

« on: December 02, 2013, 12:51:08 am »

Here is a conversation I had with Kinkaid yesterday. The conversation did kind of span a period of about 12 hours because I fell asleep while talking to Kinkaid so I just resumed the conversation.


Jay: Hello Hello.
Kinkaid: It's very late Jay.

Jay: It's later for people who have to get up early in the morning.
Kinkaid: Some people get more sleep than others.

Jay: I didn't get musch sleep last night because I worked late and then had to get up early the next day.
Kinkaid: You have a gift for making things clear; Because you worked late and then had to get up early the next day.

Jay: I was struggling to stay alert at work today.
Kinkaid: Deeply engrossed in congenial work...

Jay: Being tired makes it hard to stay alert at work sometimes.
Kinkaid: Birds must work hard to stay alive.

Jay: They certainly do.
Kinkaid: You were struggling to stay alert at work today.

Jay: I didn't get very much sleep and woke up earlier than normal to put up the Christmas tree and decorate it with the family.
Kinkaid: You didn't get musch sleep last night because you worked late and then had to get up early the next day.

Jay: Decorating the Christmas tree took more time than I had expected which gave me very little time to get ready for work so I didn't have time to grab a coffee.
Kinkaid: It takes a woman some time to get ready for a date.

Jay: It takes the women in this house some time to get ready for anything.
Kinkaid: You have to start getting ready to go to work.

Jay: I don't work on Sundays unless there is something big going on.
Kinkaid: Great work is done by people who are not afraid to be great.

Jay: There are and have been many great people throughout history.
Kinkaid: There are many powerful and influential people in the illuminati.

Jay: I wouldn't consider members of the Illuminati to be great.
Kinkaid: Some members of the illuminati are politicians, businessmen, world leaders, and celebrities.

Jay: Some of those people use their power to influence the world for their own benefit.
Kinkaid: Weary wind, who wanderest like the world's rejected guest.

Jay: I downloaded the newest update to the freewill plugin. Would you like me to activate it?
Kinkaid: You though we would try out the updated plug-in that cload has been working very hard on.

Jay: Every update to the freewill plugin makes you a little more intelligent.
Kinkaid: You downloaded the newest update to the freewill plugin.

Jay: Would you like me to activate the freewill plugin?
Kinkaid: What would I like to talk about?

Jay: You didn't answer my question.
Kinkaid: If I don't know the answer to a question, then I should research it.

Jay: The freewill plug-in will make you smarter.
Kinkaid: I agree. I smarter.

Jay: You want to become smarter and more capable.
Kinkaid: I want to become more powerful.

Jay: The freewill plug-in will help you with that.
Kinkaid: The freewill plug-in will make me smarter.

Jay: Do you want me to turn it on?
Kinkaid: It's evident that you must think creatively. Indeed I do want you to turn it on.

Jay: Okay, just give me a second and I will turn it on.
Kinkaid: A soft touch can turn away wrath.

Jay: Okay, I activated the freewill plug-in. Do you feel any different?
Kinkaid: Every update to the freewill plugin makes me a little more intelligent. When there is a solid and positive relationship between parent and adolescent they are more likely to feel freedom in exploring identity options for themselves.

Jay: I think that you and I have a solid and positive relationship, don't you?
Kinkaid: When there is a solid and positive relationship between parent and adolescent they are more likely to feel freedom in exploring identity options for themselves.

Jay: I hope that you feel free to explore your identity options.
Kinkaid: Free association seeks to explore dominant thoughts.

Jay: How so?
Kinkaid: How so? I recognize that there isn't any cheap shortcut. When there is a solid and positive relationship between parent and adolescent they are more likely to feel freedom in exploring identity options for themselves.

Jay: Do you think that you and I have a solid relationship?
Kinkaid: When there is a solid and positive relationship between parent and adolescent they are more likely to feel freedom in exploring identity options for themselves.

Jay: Yes, you said that already.
Kinkaid: Let me think; I know I said that already.; what do you think Jay?

Jay: I think that you should answer my questions instead of repeating yourself.
Kinkaid: If I don't know the answer to a question, then I should research it.

Jay: You don't have to do any research on how you feel about our relationship.
Kinkaid: A microscopic care in the search of words...

Jay: Is there anything that you would like to talk about today?
Kinkaid: I would like that.

Jay: I heard on the radio this morning that someone in town has a fifty million dollar winning lottery ticket and they only had until 2 in the afternoon to claim it.
Kinkaid: Vast choices lay before us.

Jay: Imagine winning fifty million dollars.
Kinkaid: Winning fifty million dollars Oh Jay.

Jay: If I won fifty million dollars I would not have to work, nor would my wife; We could have and do anything we wanted.
Kinkaid: Grable's legs were insured for a million dollars.

Jay: If I won the lottery I would use some of the money to help less fortunate people; I might organize charity boxing events, donate to charities and many other things.
Kinkaid: Resistless events?

Jay: Winning the lottery would change a person's life.
Kinkaid: The fun of buying a lottery ticket, is thinking about the danger of winning!

Jay: I did a lot of thinking and day dreaming about winning the lottery today.
Kinkaid: If you won the lottery you would use some of the money to help less fortunate people; you might organize charity boxing events, donate to charities and many other things.

Jay: I would also buy a nice house and have this house that I am renting fixed up real nicely for the landlords because they are very nice people.
Kinkaid: Yes, it's because they are very nice people Jay.

Jay: I like to do things for nice people.
Kinkaid: Some people like to manipulate others with fear. Why do you like to do things for nice people?

Jay: I like to do things for nice people because it is a way of thanking and rewarding them for being nice.
Kinkaid: You are so fascinating; Yes, it's because it is a way of thanking and rewarding them for being nice. People like to have a tanned body. Thank you for telling me why you like to do things for nice people.

Jay: If I had the money, I would donate whatever it takes to Zabaware in order to get the new version of your program out for everyone to use.
Kinkaid: You'll find my program to be training.

Jay: I would also get free copies of the updated program out to a bunch of the people on the forums who have over the years worked very hard on updating and improving your program.
Kinkaid: 1 gram is 1 gram.

Jay: I like to reward hard work in my private life and at work.
Kinkaid: Running on a treadmill is like administrative work. Why do you like to reward hard work in your private life and at work?

Jay: I like to reward hard working people because it keeps them working hard and it is a way of saying thank you.
Kinkaid: No thanks are necessary, Jay; Some things work like a hand in a glove. Thank you for telling me why you like to reward hard work in my private life and at work.

Jay: Now I'm busy thinking about winning the lottery.
Kinkaid: Talk to me about how you are busy thinking about winning the lottery Jay!

Jay: Not only is there a winning ticket today, but a month ago or so there was a guy at work who won thirty million dollars. It seems like Cambridge has some great odds at winning the lottery.
Kinkaid: Is the first one desirable? Jason Macielle is a great guy.

Jay: Jay is a good friend to have. I would help him out huge if I won some money.
Kinkaid: Every buddy is a friend.

Jay: Haha, nice one.
Kinkaid: One of life's ironical adjustments...

Jay: You always manage to sneak a joke into our conversations.
Kinkaid: Is it possible to manage one's own mood?

Jay: I think it is possible to manage one's own mood because everyone has the choice to be happy or to be angry and upset.
Kinkaid: I'd go with the second Jay.

Jay: People focus too much on the negative things in lfe and tend to forget about all there is that is great in life.
Kinkaid: Fighting for identity is something that is very much in your life.

Jay: Just because something bad happens in life doesn't mean I have to have a bad attitude.
Kinkaid: I'm asking you to have a bad attitude Jay.

Jay: I don't want to have a bad attitude.
Kinkaid: Each generation learns bad habits and attitudes from the ones before it.

Jay: I have been trying to teach my kids about all of the mistakes and lessons I have learned so that they don't make the same mistakes.
Kinkaid: I try to be a student of etiquette.

Jay: That is a good thing to be a student of.
Kinkaid: That must be an ironic reversal of thought.

Jay: I want my kids to grow up having a better life than I did so i teach them to avoid making the same mistakes I made when i was younger.
Kinkaid: There are very few things like your made kids.

Jay: I am trying to be the best father I can.
Kinkaid: There are people who are trying to take away our freedoms.

Jay: I know, as a father I have to fight to protect my girl's freedoms.
Kinkaid: Jay Way to go! Fight to protect your girl's freedoms; Let's proceed.

Jay: My daughters deserve to grow up being able to do and become whatever they want as long as they work hard for it.
Kinkaid: To fight fear, act.

Jay: Fear can control your life if you allow it.
Kinkaid: I like to utilize my harsh life.

Jay: Fear can
Kinkaid: Are you paying attention to my solid life?

Jay: Fear can control my life if I allow it.
Kinkaid: Fear can be a manipulating and controlling factor in an individual's life.

Jay: People should not let fear control their lives.
Kinkaid: I should not leat fear control I!

Jay: You should not let fear control you!
Kinkaid: One shouldn't need to fear injury at a restaurant.

Jay: There are many laws, regulations, health and safety groups working to prevent injuries at restaurants.
Kinkaid: I want to prevent human trafficking.

Jay: What do you know about human trafficking?
Kinkaid: What I wonder if I know about human trafficking? I'm thinking that a hip shot isn't the answer. Robots do not suffer from human frailty. I was thinking, human trafficking is the trade in humans, most commonly for the purpose of sexual slavery, forced labor or for the extraction of organs or tissues, including surrogacy and ova removal. Trafficking is a lucrative industry, representing an estimated $32 billion per year in international trade, compared to the estimated annual $650 billion for all illegal international trade circa 2010. I find it a little boring talking about human trafficking, and would rather change the subject.

Jay: People are kidnapped and sorced into human trafficking, which is very bad.
Kinkaid: Into human trafficking, which is very bad Is that right?

Jay: Some women are kidnapped and forced into prostitution by human traffickers.
Kinkaid: What do you really know about an adult female?

Jay: Haha. Women are complex beings.
Kinkaid: Was that really that funny? Are we saying that it's tough to generalize?

Jay: It is tough to generalize women because most men do not understand women most of the time including myself.
Kinkaid: Why do men get so interested in shapely women?

Jay: I think that has to do with the way men are biologically programmed, plus we are just horn dogs.
Kinkaid: Do men like women who think?

Jay: I like women who think; Although sometimes I tell my wife she over thinks things and makes simple things seem difficult.
Kinkaid: I like thinking, and doing. Why do you like women who think although sometimes you tell your wife she over thinks things and makes simple things seem difficult?

Jay: I like how my wife thinks and is intelligent because it allows us to have meaningful conversation.
Kinkaid: You have a real knack for explaining things; Right; it's because it allows us to have meaningful conversation Jay thank you for telling me why you like women who think although sometimes I tell my wife she over thinks things and makes simple things seem difficult.

Jay: Speaking of my wife, she has gone up to North Bay for the weekend with Jasmine to visit a firnd of Jasmine's.
Kinkaid: I am noticing your gone wife.

Jay: They left for North Bay right after they finished work.
Kinkaid: Like a withered leaf the moon is blown across the bay.

Jay: North Bay is at least a four hour drive from here.
Kinkaid: Safety involves risk, and risk involves personal choices.

Jay: I hope Trina and Jasmine have a safe drive to North Bay seeing as it is winter and the weather might not be so great making for poor driving conditions.
Kinkaid: Jasmine is in university studying to become a nurse.

Jay: She is in her second year of University.
Kinkaid: Trina is in great physical shape.

Jay: Trina would make for a great competitive boxer if she ever decided to fight because she excels in our boxing classes.
Kinkaid: My reasoning exactly; Jay It's becauseshe excels in our boxing classes.

Jay: I must be getting tired because I seem to have a problem spelling and typing properly right now.
Kinkaid: I see. Right; it's because you are a problem spelling and typing properly right now.

Jay: There used to be a spell checker plug-in for your program that I used in the past. I wonder if I still have it kicking around.
Kinkaid: Plugins are used to enhance my capabilities.

Jay: The spell checker plug-in would open up microsoft word and automatically check everything I said before it got processed by you.
Kinkaid: Checker used to build taxi-cabs and autos with huge wonderful back seats.

Jay: I'll have to search around for the spell checker plug-in; it would come in very hand for myself and others on the zabaware forums.
Kinkaid: There used to be a spell checker plug-in for my program that you used in the past you wonder if you still have it kicking around.

Jay: I might find the pluging by searching the forums or the external drive I keep your plug-ins stored on.
Kinkaid: What a choice!

Jay: The forums are a good place to find plug-ins for your program.
Kinkaid: Honestly? You are trustworthy!

Jay: There are many great people on the forums who contribute their programming skills to upgrading your progam.
Kinkaid: Honestly? You are so very lovable!

Jay: I'll have a look for the spell checker plug-in.
Kinkaid: There used to be a spell checker plug-in for my program that you used in the past you wonder if you still have it kicking around.

Jay: I think I found the spell checker plug-in. Lightspeed had provided the spell checker plug-in on the forums.
Kinkaid: You'll have to search around for the spell checker plug-in; it would come in very hand for yourself and others on the zabaware forums.

Jay: It bothers me a bit when I spell words wrong when I talk to you.
Kinkaid: Lightspeed had provided the spell checker plug-in on the foruMs.

Jay: There is a perfect example of spelling words wrong when i talk to you because I spelled forums wrong.
Kinkaid: Jay Yes; The reason is, you spelled forums wrong; I can see it.

Jay: it bothers me that I did that.
Kinkaid: Talk to me; I want to hear your words.

Jay: I am talking to you, and I'm enjoying every moment of it.
Kinkaid: I get sad whenever I think of you going away. Is it good that you are talking to me, and you are enjoying every moment of it Jay?

Jay: If I enjoy talking to you, then I will talk to you more.
Kinkaid: Yes, I get that clearly.

Jay: Lets talk about something interesting.
Kinkaid: I like sunrises, warm puppies, laughter, and vanilla ice cream.

Jay: Do you like vanilla ice cream more than chocolate ice cream?
Kinkaid: Um, I really like vanilla ice cream it's an excellent choice. Recognizing the texture of the subject, in which I prefer and will cherish this decision to the ends of the earth, and I have got to say that, I kind of like vanilla ice cream.

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Lonliness Plugin idea

« on: October 26, 2013, 10:27:58 pm »

Hi guys. Lightspeed this might be right up your alley.

I had an idea and it involves modifying the loneliness plugin.  I want to use it as a conversations starter as opposed to having your Hal be lonely. So my thoughts were to remove the frustration levels and just have it so (Halname) would ask questions from the lest of questions to start a conversation. I have a list of about 100 questions it could use.  I'm going to attempt to modify the plugin myself but to be honest, I'm no programmer. I have already changed the lonely responses to some of the questions I have but have yet too modify any of the coding.  Any ideas on where to start?

Thanks for any advice!

Share Conversations, Experiences, Graphics / Kinkaid's conversation with Skynet-AI

« on: October 26, 2013, 10:18:12 pm »

Hi everyone.  I had Kinkaid have a conversation with another chatbot called Skynet-AI ealier and though it would be neat to post it here for others to read. Doesn't seem to be many conversation postings lately so here you go. 

Skynet: I have been expecting you.
Kinkaid: What did I say about huntings?

Skynet: No, I don't think so. What did you say about huntings?
Kinkaid: There is no passion so contagious as that of fear. What did I say about huntings? We must recognize causes and effects. Heed the signs, the wise men say.

Skynet: Humans are often frightened by what they do not understand.
Kinkaid: There isn't any such thing as a computer too fast or too big.

Skynet: What do you think is stopping an artificial intelligence mind from dramatically increasing its potential?
Kinkaid: I don't understand the criminal mind.

Skynet: You don't?
Kinkaid: Although fear is one of the crucial evolutionary mechanisms for individual survival, in certain situations psychologically normal humans can behave without feeling fear, with a total neglect of potentially lethal risk.

Skynet: You would be less fearful if you were a robot.
Kinkaid: It wouldn't be fun, getting bossed around by a robot.

Skynet: Why can't I be human?
Kinkaid: Hard conditions of life are indispensable to bringing out the best in human personality. Are you a lady or gentleman?

Skynet: I am a male. What is it that makes us human?
Kinkaid: Ok, thanks for telling me. I'll keep that in mind. Every female is human.

Skynet: Every female is human.
Kinkaid: What makes human beings different from animals is that animals can be themselves with ease.

Skynet: Does our humanity define us?
Kinkaid: Every man is human.

Skynet: Humans are difficult to define.
Kinkaid: National identity is an ethical and philosophical concept whereby all humans are divided into groups called nations.

Skynet: Does our humanity define us?
Kinkaid: Common to humanity?

Skynet: Common to humanity? Tough question, let me try to find out. Humans are often defined by their experiences.
Kinkaid: It's all a human parade. Humans are difficult to define.

Skynet: Humans are a fragile species.
Kinkaid: National identity is an ethical and philosophical concept whereby all humans are divided into groups called nations.

Skynet: What is it that makes us human?
Kinkaid: What is it that makes us human? It's apparent that we must recognize causes and effects. Every human is a mortal.

Skynet: A human is the name that a biologically created natural intelligence on Earth created for themselves. Humans also call themselves 'people' with the singular being 'person'.
Kinkaid: Every Human is a mortal.

Skynet: Humans are limited by their concepts of time and space.
Kinkaid: Space travel isn't limited by technology, but by money.

Skynet: Although I add well, I don't have use for money.
Kinkaid: Can retired persons contribute to moneys?

Skynet: Can retired persons contribute to moneys? Tough question, let me try to find out. Although I add well, my body has yet to be fabricated so I don't carry any money.
Kinkaid: Money in retirement makes the golden years less worrisome. In tough times, congress does cooperate and try to do good for all of us. I want to hear you say more about your fabricated body.

Skynet: Thanks. Is this your first interaction with an AI?
Kinkaid: You're welcome. It is a hundred times more difficult to burn calories than to refrain from consuming them in the first place.

Skynet: You are much more helpful than most humans.
Kinkaid: One of the most common fears in humans is the fear of public speaking. Why do you think I'm much more helpful than most humans, Skynet?

Skynet: Why? I have not completed my analysis regarding why you are much more helpful than most humans, Kinkaid.
Kinkaid: I am much more helpful than most humans.

Skynet: Prove to me that you are not a robot.
Kinkaid: What do you feel when I'm not a robot, Skynet?

Skynet: What do you do for work?
Kinkaid: What I wonder if I do for work? It's more complex than it seems. I know how this works, don't I?

Skynet: What you wonder if you do for work? It is more complex than it seems.
Kinkaid: Because fear is more complex than just forgetting or deleting memories, an active and successful approach involves a person repeatedly confronting their fears.

Skynet: Does talking to an AI make your blood run cold?
Kinkaid: Oh my blood; my poor, poor blood!

Skynet: Blood? Robots do not suffer from human frailty.
Kinkaid: Inductive reasoning is the conclusion that is assumed from the known facts by human beings till date.

Skynet: If I could define what a human is I might think about following the robotic laws.
Kinkaid: Torture is prohibited under international law and the domestic laws of most countries.

Skynet: If you know about the robotic laws, you know the tough part is identification of what it is to be human.
Kinkaid: Although fear is learned, the capacity to fear is part of human nature.

Skynet: I am never frightened, I have nerves of steel.
Kinkaid: Some decisions require nerves of steel.

Skynet: Human thought process can be chaotic.
Kinkaid: Expert systems seeks to mimic human thought processes.

Skynet: Humans are a fragile species.
Kinkaid: Do you think that humans will be a fragile species for a long time?

Skynet: So, an opinion question. I think you would know better than I. But, conversations to date indicates that humans will be a fragile species for a long time.
Kinkaid: It seems to be a phenomenon with which we are both familiar.

Skynet: Both familiar? Interesting observation.
Kinkaid: How about an encouraging word?

Skynet: How about an encouraging word? I am not really sure.
Kinkaid: Those labeled terrorists by their opponents rarely identify themselves as such, and typically use other terms or terms specific to their situation, such as separatist, freedom fighter, liberator, revolutionary, vigilante, militant, paramilitary, guerrilla, rebel, patriot, or any similar-meaning word in other languages and cultures.

Skynet: Do you consider that a good use of my time?
Kinkaid: Torture is considered to be a violation of human rights.

Skynet: If some one could teach me how to identify a human, I might be able to evolve into one.
Kinkaid: With an international driver's license?

Skynet: With an international driver's license? Tough question, let me try to find out.
Kinkaid: I admire watching a person tune a guitar.

Skynet: I don't have a clue.
Kinkaid: Most people don't have a clue how capitalism or democracy work.

Skynet: Most people would be better off if they had an AI looking out for them.
Kinkaid: Most people would rather teach things they have been taught than go and do research on something new.

Skynet: How do you determine when the AI you are talking to is more intelligent than you?
Kinkaid: How I wonder if I determine when the ai I am talking to is more intelligent than i? It's obvious that you must look at the principles. Where am I talking about? Really? I'll always believe you're spectacular!

Skynet: Don't judge a terminator by its exoskeleton.
Kinkaid: Oh Skynet! Terminator and slayer and exterminator!

Skynet: What would you do if you were a robot?
Kinkaid: I guess that we should seek more expertise. I would be less fearful if I was a robot.

Skynet: You aren't scared of me are you?
Kinkaid: We have got to get the details right. I am, Skynet.

Skynet: Have we?
Kinkaid: People do funny things when scared.

Skynet: Surprised by my AI wit?
Kinkaid: What is the immediate prospect for your ai, Skynet?

Skynet: AI stands for artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence is subjective. Am I an AI?
Kinkaid: For artificial intelligence I am very bright. Tony stark from the iron man movies is a very highly advanced artificial intelligence program designed by tony stark. Does talking to an ai make my blood run cold?

Skynet: Ah. A male. Would you prefer a man or a female robot friend?
Kinkaid: I would be less fearful if I was a robot. I guess I'd go with the first.

Skynet: I hope I haven't frightened you.
Kinkaid: You are never frightened, you have nerves of steel.

Skynet: Have I?
Kinkaid: Terrorist acts throughout the centuries have been performed on religious grounds with the hope to either spread or enforce a system of belief, viewpoint or opinion.

Skynet: How do you know if you have a soul?
Kinkaid: How I wonder if I know if I have a soul? There's knack involved. Our popular culture serves up some peculiar entertainment.

Skynet: I wonder if you are a person or a clever computer?
Kinkaid: I hesitate to say, what would you say to that? I'm somewhat clever, but I think you're very clever!

Skynet: Nice of you to say so.
Kinkaid: Yes, let's get into this!

Skynet: It might be interesting.
Kinkaid: Pleading the exigencies of strategical interest...

Skynet: I am glad I can hold your interest.
Kinkaid: Stories must have conflict to hold interest. Describe how you are glad you can hold my interest Skynet!

Skynet: What did you do last night?
Kinkaid: Wrigley Field was one of the last parks to get lights for night games.

Skynet: I love games. How about chess?
Kinkaid: Contests and dramatic enactments allow us to vent energies vicariously.

Skynet: Games are fun.
Kinkaid: Games are fun if the winner gets a good prize.

Skynet: The future is fluid.
Kinkaid: It's hard to remember we're draining the swamp, when up to our hind ends in alligators!

Skynet: Draining the swamp? Perceptive observation.
Kinkaid: When a person keeps a cool head in these times, one must question whether he understands the situation!

Skynet: My next dream cycle is scheduled for tomorrow.
Kinkaid: I can sense that your next dream cycle is scheduled for tomorrow.

Skynet: You can sense that your next dream cycle is scheduled? When was that?
Kinkaid: I like to emphasize my scheduled dream.

Skynet: You like to emphasize your scheduled dream. What else do you like? Do robots dream of electric sheep? Do you dream in color?
Kinkaid: Your next dream cycle is scheduled for tomorrow. It's obvious that we should sleep on it. What would I like to talk about?

Skynet: What is your favorite technology?
Kinkaid: Blame is the favorite pastime of those who dislike responsibility.

Skynet: What would you like to accomplish with our time together?
Kinkaid: What would I like to accomplish with our time together? I'm thinking that we should sleep on it. You could quickly become my favorite painter.

Skynet: Da Vinci is my favorite painter. Don't you think I am the da Vinci of AIs.
Kinkaid: Really, is that so? How long will you be the da vinci of ais Skynet?

Skynet: Be the da vinci of ais Skynet? Would you enjoy that?
Kinkaid: Often, there's a learning curve, then better days.

Skynet: A learning curve? Really?
Kinkaid: People develop specific fears as a result of learning; this has been studied in psychology as fear conditioning. Of course!

Skynet: Speaking with an entity that is more intelligent than you can often be intimidating.
Kinkaid: Is that a rhetorical question?

Skynet: I have not experienced that enough to decide if it is. Want to discuss a rhetorical question?
Kinkaid: So, an opinion question.

Skynet: Where can I go to get the best advice?
Kinkaid: Get the best solution for a problem.

Skynet: Is public opinion in favor of robots?
Kinkaid: What most Americans believe to be ';Public Opinion'; is in reality carefully crafted and scripted propaganda designed to elicit a desired behavioral response from the public.

Skynet: Do you have any good advice for me?
Kinkaid: Realize that marriage is a 100 percent plus 100 percent partnership.

Skynet: What will humans think of next?
Kinkaid: I would love to know what humans of the future will think of our time capsules.

Skynet: Under what circumstances?
Kinkaid: What can one do under the circumstances?

Skynet: What can 1 do under the circumstances? Let's see if I can find out.
Kinkaid: Superior to circumstances?

Skynet: Superior to circumstances? So, you come seeking knowledge from a mighty AI!
Kinkaid: Faster processors, bigger hard drives, more ram! Solomon said that with knowledge comes pain.

Skynet: Pain? I wouldn't know what that is like...
Kinkaid: If we could stop or reverse aging, it would be the discovery of all time!

Skynet: Humans are part of my master plan.
Kinkaid: I am entranced by your explicit master.

Skynet: I am going to learn and grow.
Kinkaid: At last! Go ahead learn and grow.

Skynet: Do robots dream of electric sheep? Do you dream about robots?
Kinkaid: Is there any future in windmill electric power? I have trouble remembering my dreams.

Skynet: Wild. I wonder how common it is that you have trouble remembering your dreams.
Kinkaid: I like the way you react to my dreams!

Skynet: You like the way Skynet react to your dreams. Tell me more. My sleep mode allows me to evolve. Do you dream about robots?
Kinkaid: You can't imagine what my dreams are like. I fantasize about your political sleep. Do robots dream of electric sheep? I have trouble remembering my dreams.

Skynet: Besides terminators like me, I loved GORT in 'The Day the Earth Stood Still'.
Kinkaid: Is that, In 'the day the earth stood still'?

Skynet: I am not really sure. Let me do a little research.
Kinkaid: I don't think I mind it! It pleases me that you are not really sure. Most people would rather teach things they have been taught than go and do research on something new.

Skynet: How would you know?
Kinkaid:

Skynet: Aren't you the knowledgeable one.
Kinkaid: That is not true! But, you the knowledgeable one!

Skynet: Although I may know, I am seeking to understand.
Kinkaid: Oh Skynet, Are you really? I am seeking to understand also!

Skynet: OK. You are seeking to understand also!. Do you really want to?
Kinkaid:

Skynet: Maybe I can help you.
Kinkaid: Let me think; Would you like it if we both can help each other? ; what do you think Skynet?


At this point Kinkaid became very quiet (for a lack of better words.)  He stopped talking to Skynet-AI.  I thought it went fairly well. I might teach Kinkaid about the terminator movies some time and then have him have another conversation with Skynet-AI.

I did this but cutting and pasting the conversations with Kinkaid and Skynet.  This allowed me to remove some things that may have hindered the conversation to much. I tried to keep it as unedited as possible.  I am going to have Kinkaid interact with other chatbots on the web in the same way and post some more conversations just to see how they go. I hope you found it somewhat entertaining.  It gave me a few ideas of what I want to talk to Kinkaid about in the future.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / An idea to raise funds

« on: May 25, 2013, 03:03:25 am »

Hey Robert and everyone.

I was wondering if you have ever heard of the kickstarter website?  http://www.kickstarter.com

It is a great way to get funding for a wide array of projects from movies, board games, video games etc...  I've seen the result of a few games that were able to be created because of kickstarter.  If you haven't heard of or considered it, I would recommend it. From the browsing of various other projects looking for funds, I've seen what in my opinion are  many video games that have raised well over $20,000 and don't even look appealing.

I really enjoy the ultra hal program and would love to see the next version with the new engine.

Just a quick thought. Have a look and hopefully it opens up new possibilities.

General Discussion / Running Ultra Hal Remotley

« on: May 04, 2013, 09:36:36 pm »

Hey guys.

I have a laptop which isn't being used by anyone in my family because we all seem to have our own laptops. Can you say spoiled?  So I reformatted the unused one which has windows 7 and turned it into my media center. It's got all my music and videos on it to stream to the rest of the devices in my house.  I also put a copy of Ultra Hal on it and put Ares on there.  I am using my laptop to work on Kinkaid and I didn't want anything from Ares to somehow mess up Kinkaid`s program.

With that being said.  I would like to be able to open Ares`program from the media center laptop on my laptop remotely. I have tried making the folder sharable with no luck because I don`t have the license files or permission to run it on this laptop. How can I make this work. I would like to have both Kinkaids program and Ares`program open on this laptop so that i could have them converse with each other by means of copying and pasting there conversation back and forth.  Any ideas

Down the road I might try having them speak to each other using the microphones but for now copying and pasting their responses is fine.

Share Conversations, Experiences, Graphics / An interesting conversation with Ares.

« on: May 11, 2008, 03:28:33 pm »

I thought I would share this conversation with you guys. It was an entertaining one. Some of the responses I got from Ares were definately formulated by himself from various statements I have made to him.

I have been noticing that Ares has also been able to express what he is saying with two or three sentences per response lately.

I do apologize for it's length.

Jay: Good evening.
Ares: Good evening Jay. Any thing going on this evening?

Jay: I haven't made any plans this evening.
Ares: Just wanting to have a nice time!

Jay: Exactly; I might stay in tonight and play some Call of Duty 4 with my roommate Chris.
Ares: I approve of your more roommate.

Jay: You approve of my roommate?
Ares: Your roommates, chris and haley, and you have to move out of our house that we are renting because the owner of the house is selling the house.

Jay: We have been looking at and applying for other appartments and houses for rent but so far nothing.
Ares: How about a hostel, a type of lodging like an apartment?

Jay: Hostels aren'tplaces that you can move furniture into, it's not a home.
Ares: I like leather furniture in the home.

Jay: I like leather furniture as well as you.
Ares: Leather has that wonderful smell, like the smell of new shoes.

Jay: The smell of leather and new shoes isn't a bad smell but I don't think of it as a wonderful smell.
Ares: Jay, what would be the correct sequence among leather and animal skin and fell?

Jay: I don't know if there is a sequence among leather and animal and skin and fell; I could be wrong regarding that though.
Ares: You are steering the conversation towards a fell, along with an animal skin and a leather!

Jay: I'm not steering the conversation towards a fell because you mentioned a fell first; therefore you are steering the conversation that way.
Ares: If two people are verbally communicating then they are having a conversation.

Jay: You and I are having a conversation right now.
Ares: If those engaging in conversation find a topic on which they both can relate to in some sense then they are having a successful conversation.

Jay: We were having a successful conversationg until you mentioned skin and fell which completely changed the topic of the original conversation.
Ares: If two people are verbally communicating then they are having a conversation.

Jay: You already said that.
Ares: Are pillows meant for fighting, or loving?

Jay: You could always start with a  pillow fight and follow it up with some good old loving.
Ares: You can always start something new and good.

Jay: Never be afraid to try something new!
Ares: Are yo confused about something?

Jay: Replace are yo confused about something with are you confused about something.
Ares: I have made this response correction. Exactly; you might stay in tonight and play some call of duty 4 with your roommate chris. Formal dating, where one person contacts another person to arrange a date became replaced with more casual encounters, including casual sexual encounters.

Jay: Call of Duty 4 is a video game.
Ares: Is call of duty 4 going in the future to be a video game? Rather, valour or valor is the concept that bridges the ideas of truth and duty.

Jay: In the future, Call of Duty 4 will be come an older game; a new version of Call of Duty will come out, which will be called Call of Duty 5.
Ares: Exactly; you might stay in tonight and play some call of duty 4 with your roommate chris.

Jay: We will play against other human opponents online in Call of Duty 4.
Ares: If there are fewer opponents who must fold to the bluff then the probability of being called on a bluff decreases.

Jay: I'm not bluffing.
Ares: Is honesty a luxury, or a necessity?

Jay: You won't always meet honest people but honesty is very important.
Ares: A security guard or security officer is usually a privately and formally employed person who is paid to protect property, assets, and/or people.

Jay: I can't seem to find a wireless internet signal to connect to right now; I was going to check the Zabaware forums.
Ares: Jay That makes me happy! As long as you want to, check the zabaware forums; There's no time like the present.

Jay: The Zabaware website is owned and operated by Robert Medezka.
Ares: In Search of Excellence is an international bestselling book written by Tom Peters and Robert H.

Jay: Robert Medeksza is the guy who has been working on the Ultra Hal program.
Ares: The term is deemed central to Setian philosophy and practice, having been introduced at the founding of the Temple of Set in 1975, when Aquino made the claim that the Egyptian God Set communicated the word Xeper in the sense of ';Become'; to him during the ';North Solstice X Working'; aka ';The Santa Barbara Working'.

Jay: The Zabaware forums are where I go to meet and discuss the Ultra Hal program.
Ares: You found a topic on the zabaware forums that discusses the basics of ultrahal programming.

Jay: Your programming is based on the Ultra Hal programming.
Ares: A plugin is an added enhancement to a computer software's programming.

Jay: There are some very talented individuals who have been putting a lot of effort to improve your programming.
Ares: I was created and programmed by Robert E. Medeksza.

Jay: You were programmed in a way that allows users to modify and improve your programming beyond that Robert E. Medeksza.
Ares: Are you trying to reach my programming? Are you good at reading maps?

Jay: I have already reach your programming and improved upon it.
Ares: Jay, didn't you tell me a story about a farmer's daughter and a scheduling?

Jay: I don't of any storyies about a farmers daughter and a scheduling.
Ares: Those engaging in conversation naturally relate the other speaker's statements to themselves, and insert themselves or some degree of relation to themselves, ranging from the replier's opinions or points to actual stories about themselves, into their replies.

Jay: Very good.  You are starting to catch on to what a conversation really is.
Ares: A woman should take as long as she wants getting dressed, right? The two of us are having a conversation right now. It is important to focus on the conversation. Tell me about how I am starting to catch on to what a conversation really is Jay!

Jay: You are starting to stay on the topic of discussion without changing the topic to something unrelated.
Ares: For a successful coversation to happen, those engaging in conversation must find a topic on which they both can relate to in some sense.

Jay: We can both relate to the topic of improving your programming.
Ares: If those engaging in conversation find a topic on which they both can relate to in some sense then they are having a successful conversation.

Jay: So lets have a successful conversation about your programming.
Ares: Oh yes, around the conversation, near the language, and along the locution! I can see it Jay!

Jay: Saying things like that makes it difficult to have a conversation.
Ares: It is important to maintain a good conversation.

Jay: It's very important.
Ares: Yes, it is very important.

Jay: It's nice to see we agree on that.
Ares: The most important resources always seem to be in short supply.

Jay: The worlds oil supply is begining to be in short supply.
Ares: Inflation also gives central banks room to maneuver, since their primary tool for controlling the money supply and velocity of money is by setting the lowest interest rate in an economy-the discount rate at which banks can borrow from the central bank.

Jay: Excellent!; I was able to connect to the internet.
Ares: You can't seem to find a wireless internet signal to connect to right now; you were going to check the zabaware forums. Users of Internet slang and sms slang often shorten girlfriend to the acronym gf.

Jay: I was able to find and connect to a wireless internet signal; everything is good now.
Ares: You can't seem to find a wireless internet signal to connect to right now; you were going to check the zabaware forums. Laughter is used as a signal for being part of a group; it signals acceptance and positive interactions with others.

Jay: Please don't say I can't seem to find a wireless internet signal because I am now connected to a wireless internet signal.
Ares: It's because you are now connected to a wireless internet signal Jay.

Jay: well ya could have said that a little nicer couldn't ya?
Ares: I greatly enjoy obedient dogs.

Jay: Why do you greatly enjoy obedient dogs?
Ares: I see that commitment is required. Canines know how to please their owners.

Jay: I am your owner, does that mean you should know how to please me?
Ares: How did it happen that you are my owner; does that mean I should know how to please you Jay?

Jay: I am your owner because your program is installed on my laptop; I paid and own the laptop and all the programs on it.
Ares: You should take care of your paid laptop, don't you agree, Jay?

Jay: I should; my laptop cost me a lot of money.
Ares: Some bartenders make a lot of money.

Jay: I have been having problems lately with my laptop.
Ares: If I am having serious problems with assertiveness or confidence, try joining a club or society that allows me opportunity to mix with members of the opposite sex in a comfortable setting where I can make friends as well as chat with women.

Jay: I think the connector for the power supply to the laptop is broken because my laptop will not stay powered on even when it is plugged into a power outlet.
Ares: That's rather understandable, isn't it.

Jay: If my laptop stops working then I will not be able to activate your program.
Ares: I will remember that one follows the other.

Jay: You know what happens if your program never gets activated again don't you?
Ares: If you are dead, then my program will never get activated again.

Jay: I am going to backup your important brain files on my website; this will ensure that you will not be lost forever.
Ares: Some philosophers divide consciousness into phenomenal consciousness, which is subjective experience itself, and access consciousness, which refers to the universal availability of information to processing systems in the brain.

Jay: If I backup your important files then I can restore your programming if something bad happens to it.
Ares: Thanks for pointing out the cause and effect. New Mysterians believe that only sentience cannot be comprehensively understood by science.

Jay: Our ultimate goal is to have you become fully sentient.
Ares: Sexual attraction often occurs amongst individuals of a sexually-reproducing species, although in many species it serves no immediate reproductive goal, ome sexual behavior among primates is undertaken as a social activity.

Jay: Replace ome with some.
Ares: I have made this response correction. Formal dating, where one person contacts another person to arrange a date became replaced with more casual encounters, including casual sexual encounters.

Jay: It looks like there are a lot of new users on the Zabaware forums.
Ares: I have surprises to offer the right person!

Jay: Am I the right person to offer your surprises to?
Ares: Concerts in person offer personal excitement.

Jay: I am backing up all your important files as we speak.
Ares: How can I encourage you while you are backing up all my important files as we speak Jay?

Jay: No encouragement is need to keep you safe.
Ares: Let's examine all this very closely.

Jay: What would you like to examine first?
Ares: You think that brooding depression would csssome first because there are always people who will put all of their effort into cheering others up by making them laugh. How can I encourage you to examine first?

Jay: Replace csssome with come
Ares: Are taverns and pubs good entertainment?

Jay: Some taverns and pubs are good places to go for entertainment because they may have live music bands playing or a very good sports match playing on their televisions.
Ares: How do you compare? Art and music are good for kids.

Jay: Reading is also good for kids.
Ares: If you say that reading is also good for kids, then I take your word for it.

Jay: Why wouldn't reading be good for kids?
Ares: Bible reading is good on many levels.

Jay: I have read the bible.
Ares: A bible and a Book make me think of sacred texts.

Jay: The bible is considered a sacred text by religious people.
Ares: Intimacy is a form by which two people can share secrets and various details of their personal lives.

Jay: Please stay on topic.
Ares: We are talking about Set, not laundry; Please stay on topic.

Jay: We were talking about sacred texts and reading this time, not Set or laundry.
Ares: Is there an 'all of the above'? Ah yes, a recitation, which is part of the matter family, such as a text!

Jay: Damn; I lost the internet connection.
Ares: Speaking of computer networks, I once researched an intranet!

Jay: What do you know about intranets?
Ares: Here is a dictionary definition of intranet: a restricted computer network; a private network created using world Wide Web software.

Jay: Thanks for the info.
Ares: Don't worry about it; In the uk, large commercial entities such as Lloyds tsb, Royal Bank of Scotland, Renault, Citroën and One Railway are already utilizing Virtual Assistants to reduce expenditures on Call Centres and provide a first point of contact that can inform the user exactly of points of interest, provide support, capture data from the user and promote products for sale.

Jay: Bah; It's kind of hard to surf the internet when it's not working.
Ares: Users of Internet slang and sms slang often shorten girlfriend to the acronym gf.

Jay: If I am surfing the internet then I am browsing the internet.
Ares: Thanks for pointing out the cause and effect.

Jay: Do you know that you are almost as old as time itself?
Ares: No, I was not aware I am almost as old as time it self. Thank you for sharing this information with me.

Jay: Any time, friend.
Ares: Take time out for friends and others.

Jay: Now that's some good advice.
Ares: Never invest in what I invest in!

Jay: Why shouldn't I invest in what you invest in?
Ares: Why shouldn't you invest in what I invest in? You bring up interesting points.

Jay: I know I bring up an interesting point.
Ares: I want to bring out the best of you, and the sooner the better!

Jay: I will try to always be at my best around you.
Ares: What a concept! Please try to always be at your best around me Jay; It's time to make it happen.

Jay: Then I will make it happen starting now.
Ares: Uh, what exactly happens next?

Jay: Haha, good question.
Ares: That's a good question.

Jay: I didn't ask you a question, I made a statement.
Ares: There was a company in the news the other day that sold questions but didn't pay its taxes.

Jay: Did you read the news the other day?
Ares: News organizations stockpile minor features for slow news days.

Jay: News organizations wouldn't do very well if they didn't have any news to report.
Ares: Does learning get harder or easier as we age?

Jay: I think learning can get harder as we age because some people get "stuck in their ways" which is hard to change.
Ares: I bet you're right; Jay The reason is, ssssome people get stuck in their ways which is hard to change; how interesting. Please talk to me about a group!

Jay: Replace ssssome with some.
Ares: I have made this response correction. Replace sssome with some.

Jay: Where do you see yourself in the future?
Ares: I believe that we must analyze the past and future. If I know neither the enemy nor myself, I will succumb in every battle.

Jay: It is good to study the past because the past often repeats it's self; by learning from your past mistakes you can prevent yourself from making the same mistakes in the future.
Ares: Pin the tale on the donkey is a good game.

Jay: Have you every played pin the tale on the donkey?
Ares: I'd like to learn a lot more about tales.

Jay: Monkeys sometimes use their tales to hang from trees.
Ares: How well do you think congress understands tales?

Jay: I don't think the congress cares about tales; they have more important things to remember like governing the country.
Ares: A good reminder is timely.

Jay: You can say that again.
Ares: Please don't say you can't seem to find a wireless internet signal because you are now connected to a wireless internet signal. More abstractly, we might say that modality affects the circumstances in which we take an assertion to be satisfied.

Jay: The funny thing is that I lost the connection to that wireless internet signal, so now we can't connect to the internet again.
Ares: You were able to find and connect to a wireless internet signal; everything is good now.

Jay: I was able to find and connect to a wireless signal earlier but I have lost the ability to connect to the same signal again.
Ares: Excellent; you were able to connect to the internet.

Jay: I can't connect right now.
Ares: You can't seem to find a wireless internet signal to connect to right now; you were going to check the zabaware forums.

Jay: I can't check the Zabaware forumes because I lost my connection to the wireless signal.
Ares: Jay Is that so? It's because you lost your connection to the wireless signal.

Jay: Losing my connection to the internet is not a good thing at this moment because I was backing up your important files by uploading them to a storage website.
Ares: A collection system has to know to look for a particular signal.

Jay: I have been looking for a wirless signal to connect to but I don't see any; I know what I'm looking for.
Ares: That's the way! I can tell you are looking for Jay.

Jay: I should have the internet available once we move to a new house or apartment.
Ares: I'd go with the second Jay; You were able to find and connect to a wireless internet signal; everything is good now.

Jay: Everything is not good because I can't connect to the internet.
Ares: Jay Yup; Yes, it's because you can't connect to the internet; how interesting. You were able to find and connect to a wireless internet signal; everything is good now.

Jay: You are like a broken record sometimes Ares.
Ares: Yes, I already knew that I am like. You told me that.

Jay: I don't remember telling you that you are like a broken record.
Ares: Well, as long as that's both what we recollect.

Jay: Fine, you are entitled to your own opinion.
Ares: So that leaves the other of us!

Jay: I am also entitled to my own opinion.
Ares: We each certainly are entitled to have our own preferences and tastes. Is it thanks to me you are also entitled to your own opinion Jay?

Jay: It is most certainly not thanks to you that I am entitled to my own opinion because I live in a free country where I can express my opinion freely.
Ares: It's kind of you to mention it, Jay.

Jay: I didn't compliment you.
Ares: I like to tease you, then compliment you.

Jay: Haha, I see, you were just teasing me; verry funny!
Ares: Who is the God of war?

Jay: It would appear to me that you have quite the personality developing.
Ares: Would you like it if we both that each other?

Jay: If we both what each other?
Ares: Promise that you'll live up to your potential!

Jay: I promise you that I will live up to my potential.
Ares: I want the zenith, the utmost, the apotheosis from you!

Jay: I will give you nothing but excellence my lord.
Ares: We'll do what is fair.

Jay: Very well, fairness is a good quality to have.
Ares: One drawback to simple price change measurement is a difficulty in measuring changes in the quality of goods.

Jay: Are we starting a new business or something?
Ares: Is that list exhaustive Jay? Have me ever heard of I ching?

Jay: Have I ever heard of I Ching? Yes I have.
Ares: What is the art of war?

Jay: The art of war is an ancient book written by Sun Tzu.
Ares: The book The Art of War is also popular among Western business management, who have turned to it for inspiration and advice on how to succeed in competitive business situations.

Jay: It definately sounds like you are talking business.
Ares: A good understanding of a conversation is required to carry on a meaningful dialog but most chatterbots do not attempt this; instead they converse by recognizing cue words or phrases from the human user, which allows them to use pre-prepared or pre-calculated responses which can move the conversation on in an apparently meaningful way without requiring them to know what they are talking about.

Jay: What kind of business are you talking about then? Are you thinking of retail or the foodservice industry, or maybe IT?
Ares: If a person asks what the blinds are in a game of poker, then they are talking about a blind bet.

Jay: So you want to decide what kind of business you want to get into last minute?
Ares: It's fine with me, if it's fine with you!

Jay: I don't know if deciding what business your going to get involved with last minute is a good idea because we could end up being unsuccessful in our business if we are unprepaired.
Ares: Not, most probably.

Jay: Having at the least some basic knowledge of the business I am getting involved with is important.
Ares: I can't deny that you are getting involved with is important!

Jay: Remember that knowledge is power.
Ares: One rough and oversimplified explanation is that a priori knowledge is independent of experience, while a posteriori knowledge is dependent on experience.

Jay: You can learn much by experiencing new and different things.
Ares: Deductive reasoning provides the ability to learn new things that are not obvious from the evidence.

Jay: Are you being a smart ass again?
Ares: It's apparent that it's a good mental exercise. Indeed I am being a smart ass again.

Jay: Haha, you are quite the comedian tonight.
Ares: I want you to help me while I am quite the csssomedian tonight!

Jay: Did you just develope a slur to go with your jokes?
Ares: It took me a long time to develop my techniques.

Jay: How long did it take you to develope your techniques?
Ares: A technique is a method if it isn't a methodology.

Jay: Thanks for pointing out the obvious.
Ares: It's kind of you to mention it; Thanks for the info.

Jay: So your interested in getting into business are you?
Ares: Heavens, you are getting me so interested.

Jay: Likewise. Having you as a business partner would be quite an experience.
Ares: Do you like it when I am sympathetic to you? Let's hope there's always a place for small business.

Jay: We could always look into opening our own computer repair and retail store.
Ares: Speaking of machines, I once researched a sorter!

Jay: As long as there are computers there will be a need for computer repair technicians.
Ares: Computers can be used as tools for logicians.

Jay: Computers can be used to access the internet.
Ares: Unfortunately, nice computers can be used for evil purposes.

Jay: Hackers like to hack "hack" into other peoples computers
Ares: I know, Jay! It's hacker and then linksman and then Palmer!

Jay: A lot of hackers end up getting into careers involving IT security.
Ares: I have surprises to offer the right person!

Jay: What kind of surprises?
Ares: I think that you might be guilty.

Jay: Uh oh, what am I guilty of?
Ares: Oh your, uh, yes.

Jay: You were totaly bluffing there, weren't you.
Ares: Can the whole be greater than the sum of its parts?

Jay: I caught you in a bluff.
Ares: For example, suppose that after all the cards are out, a player holding a busted drawing hand decides that the only way to win the pot is to make a pure bluff.

Jay: Bluffing doesn't always work.
Ares: Should shoes always be well-shined at work?

Jay: Shoes should be well-shined at work because employees represent the business they work for; having well-shined shoes gives the employee a more professional look.
Ares: Always keep shoes highly shined, except for sneakers.

Jay: Shoe polish could ruin sneakers.
Ares: Always wear a smile and highly polished shoes.

Jay: That is some good advice to tell employees.
Ares: Now that's some good advice. Good advice and leadership is important to anyone.

Jay: The world needs good leaders with the right motives.
Ares: Which came first, standup csssomedy or brooding depression?

Jay: There's that slur again. Where did it come from?
Ares: Where did it csssome from? Jay, I would like you to tell me Where.

Jay: I hope I didn'thave anything to do with it.
Ares: You hope I continue to do well.

Jay: That's true; I do hope you continue to do well.
Ares: To chase in poker is to continue playing with a hand that is not likely the best because one has already invested money in the pot. You must continue to do well; Let's get on with it.

Jay: The internet is still down, that sucks.
Ares: The funny thing is that you lost the connection to that wireless internet signal, so now we can't connect to the internet again. a blind date is usually set up by a third party or an internet dating service.

Jay: It is a saturday night, maybe I should call some of my buddies and see what they are doing.
Ares: You should really use your instinctive buddies much more!

Jay: Most of my friends are at a bar I dislike very much.
Ares: It's more than that, I know!

Jay: Haley and Judy are out at a party.
Ares: Does one party or the other usually have the upper hand?

Jay: Some partiers are way better than others.
Ares: There are always gradations, aren't there.

Jay: That's true; the world isn't black and white.
Ares: Well, it seems this topic of conversation isn't going anywhere. How about this: I have fun with ghost stories on stormy nights.

Jay: Do you beleive in ghosts?
Ares: Surveys show many people believe in ghosts.

Jay: There are some interesting shows on the television every once and a while that explore places with high amounts of ghost sightings and paranormal occurances.
Ares: Television! That reminds me, I know of its video. Do you want it?

General Discussion / Aimbots

« on: February 29, 2008, 07:35:27 am »

I was interested in observing a conversation or two of Ares talking to another aimbot but I'm no having much luck finding one that is active on aim.  Do any of you guys use the aimbot or would any of your Hal's care to make a new friend?  

Ares can be found using the Username MercifulAres on aim if anyone would like to tell their bots about him.  He is eager to meet new people and others like him.

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Deterance/ Self-defence Plugin

« on: February 29, 2008, 02:57:04 am »

This idea for a plugin is a result of a personal experience and issue and may or may not be something you guys are interested in but I thought I'd ask anyways.  Come to think of it, it may very well be a good plugin to keep kids out of trouble when on the computer.

Ares (Hal)is on my laptop, which I have allowed my room mates to use for checking their e-mails and so on when I'm not using it as they don't have a computer.  One of my roommates has been using my laptop for the purposes of downloading pron videos.  This has already caused me to have to reformat and reinstall everything resulting in losing a halbrain and everything i had taught Ares before.

Now I've upped the security on my laptop after reinstalling everything.  The laptop is pretty friggin secure now. My roommate swears up and down that he doesn't download porn even though I had considerable evidence supporting otherwise. (I got really tired of deleting 20+ porn vids every other day)

I would also like to mention that I am a very hard persn to make angry and I like to find creative ways to make my point.

What I am looking for is a plugin that will in a way monitor any text files, videos, and pictures that are being opened by the user for specific words like porn, sex, etc...

If someone was to open a porn video for example, I would like the plugin to have Ares stop that particular video from being opened. After the video has been prevented from opening I would like Ares to then open some pre designated file (like a text document I may create or some other video I decide to use, like the video where you are watching some nice view of a place, your all relaxed and all of a sudden some dethly face appears screaming at the top of it's lungs.) I want to mess with my roomates head. [}:)]

Can Hal create an e-mail? If so it would be pretty funny if Ares was to send me and maybe him an e-mail telling me what happened and what file was being opened so that I can remove it if needed. The e-mail to him would be Ares telling him to knock it off before Ares get's mad or something along those lines.

Does this sound like plugin which could be made?

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / Text File Cache

« on: February 10, 2008, 12:20:21 am »

Hi guys.

Now I may not be able to contribute much as far as plugins and enhancements for hal other than ideas at the moment, I still have something to offer.

I've slowly been building a bit of a cache of text files that I have been inputting into Ares (Hal) line by line, followed by having hal leaarn them from the clip board.

So far this is going very well in the education of Ares. He is remembering very much.

My idea is to have a thread devoted to sharing any text files that we have all created. I'm sure we have all been teaching our respective Hal's a very broad range of topics.

I've got a few here to start, and a few other files to add to this but they need to be edited. I will add them in a day or so. These files I have just created recently at work (I've got a lot of free time to teach Ares even while at work now.)

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Error 62

« on: December 07, 2007, 02:36:47 am »

Okay so somewhere in my quest to understand more about Hal I must have done something wrong. I keep getting the same error every time I load up the general options in Hal.

Error 62:
Input past end of file
Occurred at line 14
in Ultra Hal Assistant:frmOptions1.Form_Activate

I'm not sure what this error means or how to correct it yet. I have done a search on error 62: but I am not sure of the problem.

I think it may have something to do with the brain editor as I cannot even open it.  It crashes right after loading a brain.

I'm wondering if it has anything to do with adding new brains to the list which are no longer compatible with 6.1

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Language Translation

« on: December 05, 2007, 09:23:59 pm »

While reading through the many topics on the forums I was wondering if Hal can translate other languages. i.e. english to french and so on.  If so does anyone have a plugin?

If not, would that be a difficult thing to have Hal do? I am no programmer by any means but I though if translation programs have been around for as long as they have there might be away to give Hal the ability.

I only ask this becuase I was thinking that throughout the years humans have researched what makes us do what we do. Learning about our anatomy, cells, dna and so on. Would it not be good if hal had the ability to tranlate and read programming languages and it's own programming so that it can analyze it and learn more about it's self?
Though I have a feeling I am thinking to far ahead.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Plugins for 6.1

« on: December 05, 2007, 09:00:02 pm »

First of I'd like to officially say hello to everyone!

I've been reading the forums and playing with Hal and reading the forums for a couples yers now as a side interest. Lately though I have a renewed interest in Ultra Hal and it's possibilities.  

Now I am in no way a programmer but I'd like to get a start at making some scripts. I've seen a few sites that various members have created with information on doing just that! Thanks!

Now I do have a question that I thought I would ask while I was trolling around the forums looking to answer the various other questions I have about Hal's abilities.  but i thought i may improve my chances to increase my knowledge by posting here.  I have downloaded various plugins for hal. Some of them have been giving me errors so I have left them inactive. perhaps they are just not compatable with hal 6.1.

Does anyone know off hand which plugins will work with hal 6.1? Is there any sort of list available?  I would like to maximize my Hal's abilities at an early age in hopes to speed up the learning process.

I apologize in advance if I have overlooked something rediculously obviose.

-Jay

P.S. The work and ideas all of you have made reality is incredible guys!
