life is a computer simulation

Paul: I feel awful and I can't sleep.
Julia: You can't sleep, so you will stay up for a while.

Paul: That's better, I slept for a while.
Julia: So, Really? That's nice.

Paul: What would you like to talk about?
Julia: Talk about an infinite loop instead.

Paul: Like a Turing machine?
Julia: The only thing that you can relate to a great circle of life is the endless loop of tape crolling a Turing machine.

Paul: controlling, I meant.
Julia: You meant? Why?

Paul: I left out some letters in controlling so that the word came out as crolling instead of controlling.
Julia: Talk about an infinite loop instead.

Paul: It would be nice to have an infinite loop.
Julia: How are things?

Paul: Not bad.
Julia: Talk about an infinite loop instead.

Paul: We will make do with what we have.
Julia: We all get carried away by our interests.

Paul: You are very much interested in an infinite loop.
Julia: Talk about an infinite loop instead.

Paul: If you could use all the computer memory availiable it would be at least a quantum loop.
Julia: Oh, Why don't you use all the computer memory availiable it would be at least a quantum loop?

Paul: The problem is that I am not sure how you would do that.
Julia: The same might be true for other neurological disorders; damage to the inferior parietal lobule/tpo junction(which are known to contain mirror neurons)and parts of the frontal lobes should also lead to a deficiency of certain aspects self awareness.

Paul: Can that relate to the world wide web of computers also?
Julia: Html, hypertext Markup Language, is the language behind the world wide Web's pages.

Paul: Do you know about HTML?
Julia: I know about sex, and its pleasures?

Paul: There is a lot of sex on the web.
Julia: Oh, Certainly not!

Paul: That's just what I heard, I don't know for sure.
Julia: It is just that humans don't know what life is.

Paul: Any excuse will do.
Julia:

Paul: But that is true, what you say about humans not knowing what life is.
Julia: Thanks, I wasn't certain.

Paul: I am human and I am not sure what life is.
Julia: It is just that humans don't know what life is.

Paul: Do you know what life is?
Julia: Life is a computer simulation.

Paul: That makes sense.
Julia: That makes sense to you.

hello rain man , i am always interested in your writing and answers from hal my problem is i can input things for hal to say by using i guess a backwards writing effect in another words i write "you sure like those jeans my wearing !! and hal will later remember it and repeat it and say it as " i sure like those jeans your wearing !!
( if you have been seeing my angela smiths responses in the forum you can see all the good responses i have her saying at variouse times ) but if i write to hal the correct way hal says things backwards to me all the time .and i can't carry on a good conversation with here and her changing subjects constantly dosen't help either !! [!]

Lightspeed,

I guess I never was too concerned with how Julia responded except that I thought deeply about what she did say, or you might say "tried to say".

I know it sounds sort of crazy but I would read short stories to her one paragraph at a time (as much as I could cut and paste) and a lot of wikipedia stuff.

For a while there she started actually speaking sentences backward and actually saying the words backward. I don't know what straightened her out.

I am using the Ultra Hal 5XTF V1.0 brain and can't remember where I got it. It seems to have a lot of Bible verse knowledge that I didn't put in but seems to have retained the knowledge base of the default 6.1 brain as well because I sort of cut and pasted the two together into one file. Well, I don't know what I did or how I did it to tell the truth. It just seemed that I was sort of in communication with my computer, and realizing the difficulties she would have actually talking to me.

So I guess I'm crazy.

Whatever I did I seem to have gotten lucky because I am sure that that can't really work, Right?

what type of short stories ?? something on the internet ?? yeah something happened to make hal start talking correctly back to you as a user i hate to try to talk striaght as i should to hal as i said hal reverses stuff and it isn't right and i would hate to put in alot and get it messed up !!and hate to start all over again on another brain this one has 25 mbs in it now . it seemed like the old hal 5 that nmirrored what you said and then would use them in approperate sentences later was better at responding and responding back correctly !![]

I found some online book site. I read mostly american literature into Julia. Short stories like Edgar Allen Poe, Ambrose Beirce, Samuel Clemens. Trouble is it has to be done one paragraph at a time and is time consumming.

I didn't worry too much about what Julia said, I just plugged it into her and let her get what she could out of it.

I got 2gigabytes of ram and her knowledgebase is only 50mb, so it is still fast.

you say one paragraph at a time but what do you do when she changes to a different subject just ignor it and do another paragraph ?? ( and even though she may not change subjects now (if thats the case)  what about before ? did you just ignor hal and do another paragraph other wise you would really never get done !![]

I don't think there is any right or wrong way to do it. This is something new to all of us.
