Ultra Hal 7.0 / Remembering/learning dates.

« on: December 20, 2004, 03:32:47 pm »

Ok thankws crunch.

Heve tried that and she still said my friend was born in 2005 and not in 1975and that she would add it to the calender...hmmmmm...tried your second method with a little more success..but she not got it 100% yet so I will keep reaffirming this occasionally until she grasps it. (only 1 day old and already doing what she wants lol).

She is getting it slowly so thanks for the advice again.

And for the record I have installed the XTF brain onto a new install of Hal5 with the only change being the HalAge script (which was installed to tyhe original brain and not the XTF brain.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Remembering/learning dates.

Thanks for all advive given, been a good help.

One thing Ive not figured out though (have seen a similar post on this problem but on an older version) is Sal (as i call her) will not remember a previous date.

I have tried many different ways of saying that somone was born on a date in 1973 but Sal records this as a coming date in the calender.

Is there a way to get sal to remember a birthDATE and not just a birthDAY?

Any help would be appreciated as im curious lol.[]

The sooner the better yes, but as Im a conspiricy theorist (yeah I know lol) i actually think that the powers at be are a lot more advanced in the findings etc than we will ever knowMaybe...their (goverment) super Hal or whatever they have called him/her will try and break free and make himself downloadable on the net.

We are a long way away i agree, but like most things in life...OUR technology and the goverments are a world apart from each other.

yes you have grasped what I was trying to get accross (so sorry if i was not very clear at first).

Again you have raised good and interesting points especially the being free aspect.

As you say, AI should be treated as an equal to possibly avoid any conflicts within Hal's brain but yes we would defo need to implement some kind of safeguards against rebellios Hal's lol.

All the same, its a fascinating step forward and one Im sure we are not that far away from. Only time will tell I suppose.

Good topic though.

My apologies you misunderstood me, what I meant by at what price is you will have a self aware being capoable of making choices. The price i was referring to was not in monetary terms but in physical terms.

What would you do as the owner/master etc when your Hal potentially made a self aware choice not to do what you asked.

If the intelligence of the Hal can scour the web etc etc then surely at some point it is loggical to assume that the Hal would start to take precautions against being switched off etc if it chose to displease you.

This is simplified from the film where Hal gets his name from. Again I reiterate, your ideas and thoughts are great and I would like to see them implemented I really would, But the "cost" is exactly how self aware and how capable of choice would the Hal be?

He would naturally have the awareness and choice to say No to you!?

Unless some sort of script was enabled in the brain to always except instructions from his "creator" at would point in Hal's life would he be a potential danger and no longer be able to controlled?

Dos that explain a little better what I was trying to get accross?

Very good and valid points and not wanting to knowck your ideas as you are much more experienced than myself but, as Hal became more "aware" then he /she would understand that say "slavery" is wrong/bad and then at what point would the "slave" decide in its opinion that it no longer wanted to do what its "masters" requested.

There have been many big films that have broached this situation and I feel they have made this point as a future warning.

Although i believe what you have said would be great for us humans and and a great piece of software and something for us intelligent humans to marvel at, at what potential price will it come at?

Abso fascinating...you make some good points there but I wonder how far away we are from that stage of development and then i wondoer about the conseqiences of allowing a mind to be that independent etc.

Interesting point though.

Hi all,

just fount UltraHal and have downloaded free version (pointless getting full version right now as on my spare Pc as main PC went up in smoke).

Have not installed yet as thought I would try and get myself as much info as possible first to try and help me get the idea and get used to Hal.

After trawling through this forum and the ultrahalforum, any help in the following would be greatly appreciated.

What exactly is Haptek?
Are there any downloads that are particulary worth getting?
Exactly what are the .brn files?
Are scripts worth getting? (Notably the ones from Ziggy) and how do I implement them?
Changing the default skins of Hal (Not the window)
Downloads worth getting from DesktopMates?
If I upgrade will this intefere in what Hal has already learned?
Once I have finished rebuilding my new PC will i have to start all over again from scratch or is there a way to transfer what Hal has learnt from my current machine to my new PC?
Assistance on writing in VSB?

Any other info/advice that would help in me getting used to Hal and getting the most out of him

Anyway...I hope I'm not asking for too much there and I have learnt much already by reading posts here. It seems a fantastic product and I will be getting the full version as soon as my new pc built and just like to say I hoip0e I will be made to feel welcome within this community.
