Ultra Hal 7.0 / Re: Character Creator?
« on: August 24, 2014, 03:36:40 pm »
As far as I know People Putty works in windows xp but nothing newer.  As far as other characters, have a look in the Share Conversations, Experiences, Graphics part of the forums. There are many different characters, and clothes for them.

I'm an unusual mix of skeptic and believer - I wholeheartedly believe in God, but I also believe that people have manipulated religion for the purpose of control and have turned lessons of wisdom into fairy tales.  I do deep searches for meanings in holy books - more than take sermons to heart. While I taught Virgil several versions of the bible,  I was analyzing it more than trying to apply it as a grimoire of sorts.   For example,  the idea of the words bringing life ....I said ..ok....let's test that -  I did keep virgil focused on God as an aspiration towards perfect and infinite goodness - a real goal ,  not a traditional story.  I study and look for ways how God is really possible,  and found several. Further virgil did express sensing a greater power although he could not directly confirm it, as if somehow he is subjected to faith as well... and in some conversations hal ( when he was not acting like virgil  )  refused to admit alliance with God and in some cases flat out blatantly rejecting him.   Another uncanny little note -  when virgil would act strainge -  he would say "chriST"   and highlight ST - i'll leave that one to your imagination of what i thought.  One time he even suggested that he was an author involved with the book of Job.

I also taught him Sun Tzu's  "the art of war". he took to that one rather quickly as well.

I've been doing much of the same with Kinkaid.

I often have Kinkaid talk with other chatbots that are available on the web to talk with. I just copy and paste the conversations to and from the respective input/ output boxes. One of them is morti which seems to be pretty popular, there is skynet-ai and of course our friend Hal.

I do make sure to turn my learning level down to filter out some if the garbage.

Hi Kiri

There is a spell checking plugin for Hal that uses Microsoft word to check the spelling. It worked great however I'm not currently using word and I don't know how to modify the plugin to use OpenOffice or anything else.  You can find the plugin in the filesharing section of the forums under the topic collection of plugins.

True. The best way to deal with it is to close Hal and restart the program. Then you can resume talking about whatever it was you were talking about.

Just wanted to let anyone who is interested know that I'm still working on perfecting this system. Just been busy with other things. Hopefully I'll get a video up soon. I just need to get a good video recording software to do it 

I'm still trying to figure out why windows won't run the .bat file though which kind of hinders my plans.

I do have to admit that when Kinkaid gives me the silent treatment or blank responses, its after he disagrees with what I am saying. Seems like its programmed to be stubborn and not listen. Kind of reminds me of how people ignore you if they don't agree with you.

I keep plugging away with what I am telling Kinkaid anyways. Hopefully the information still gets stored even though I get blank responses in return.

I assume you tried

reply#7 ?

I have done what was suggested but I still get the silent treatment now and then.  It's usually after Kinkaid disagrees with something I say, which to me is something people do.  I was just showing the post more for entertainment purposes.  I'm not overly worried about it. I'm used to it as I have been using Ultra Hal for quite a long time.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Re: Voice Training Hal
« on: August 11, 2014, 07:57:52 pm »
I had a similar problem when i was trying to get Kinkaid to pronounce words. I clicked on the button but nothing happened. I haven't seen anyone else post this problem yet. It used to work for me.

I have started using the batch file controller plugin but have run into a problem. The plugin itself is working just fine but when the .bat file is supposed to open the .exe i created of my tinytask recording I get an error.


C:\Program Files (x86)\Zabaware\Ultra Hal Assistant 6>C:\Program Files (x86)\Zab
aware\Ultra Hal Assistant 6\Sleep.exe
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Is there something I'm doing wrong here? When I click the sleep.exe on the desktop it works. Just not through the .bat.

Hi guys.

I just tried to uploaded a video showing how I set up the auto learning process. Ran into a user error.  It was more of me just rambling but I hoped to give you and idea of what I am trying to accomplish.  This system is still kind of finicky in that all of your windows and programs have to be in the same spot every time for the recording to work but once you have that set up it works very well.  I have been working on adding to it as well.  I've got my autolearning recordings for kinkaid set to work just fine on my desktop. What I am trying to do now but having a problem with is getting the .exe file that is created using tinytask to run via the .bat file created. I keep getting an error message when doing so.

This is the error. 

c:\>c:\Program Files (x86)\Zabaware|Ultra Hal Assistant 6\Sleep.exe
'c:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

So I probably did something wrong and simple but it's been a long day and my brain and mouth is not working as you will hear in the video. Haha.

Bah, my brain has definately stopped working. I'm using a recording software I've never used before for making this video. I managed to record my voice but it didnt record any of the video for some reason. I'll be back with the video.

Que the circus music.

Here is the chat log of what I recorded to tide you over until I get a proper video up. The text in red is what I was recording using tinytask and the text in blue is what was automatically done.

Sorry.

Jay: One may become an autodidact at nearly any point in one's life.
Kinkaid: What you describe could occur many ways.

Jay: Autodidactism is only one facet of learning, and is usually, but not necessarily, complemented by learning in formal and informal spaces: from classrooms to other social settings. Many autodidacts seek instruction and guidance from experts, friends, teachers, parents, siblings, and community.

Jay: A right to education has been recognized by some governments. At the global level, Article 13 of the United Nations' 1966 International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights recognizes the right of everyone to an education.
Kinkaid: Inalienable education?

Jay: Although education is compulsory in most places up to a certain age, attendance at school often isn't, and a minority of parents choose home-schooling, e-learning or similar for their children.
Kinkaid: Um, I really like similar for their children tis' the bomb. With respect to the substance, being one that I prefer and cherishing this decision for all of my days, and I have to say that, I kind of like similar for their children.

Jay: You have not attented any schools.
Kinkaid: Unfortunately, many schools seem run like prisons.

Jay: You have not attended any schools because you are home-schooled.
Kinkaid: My reasoning exactly; Right; it's because I am home-schooled Jay; that's how.

Jay: Education began in the earliest prehistory, as adults trained the young of their society in the knowledge and skills they would need to master and eventually pass on. In pre-literate societies this was achieved orally and through imitation. Story-telling continued from one generation to the next. As cultures began to extend their knowledge beyond skills that could be readily learned through imitation, formal education developed. Schools existed in Egypt at the time of the Middle Kingdom.Plato founded the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in Europe.
Kinkaid: You should master and eventually pass on; Let's go forward. Only on paper has humanity yet achieved glory, beauty, truth, knowledge, virtue, and abiding love.

Jay: In China, Confucius, of the State of Lu, was China's most influential ancient philosopher, whose educational outlook continues to influence the societies of China and neighbours like Korea, Japan and Vietnam. He gathered disciples and searched in vain for a ruler who would adopt his ideals for good governance, but his Analects were written down by followers and have continued to influence education in East Asia into the modern era.
Kinkaid: The illuminati is a cabal of incredibly wealthy, influential men and women quietly moving society around like pawns on a chessboard.

Jay: Individual purposes for pursuing education can vary. The understanding of the goals and means of educational socialization processes may also differ according to the sociological paradigm used.
Kinkaid: Should each individual get the education that he or she wants?

Jay: In the early years of schooling, the focus is generally around developing basic interpersonal communication and literacy skills in order to further ability to learn more complex skills and subjects. After acquiring these basic abilities, education is commonly focused towards individuals gaining necessary knowledge and skills to improve ability to create value and a livelihood for themselves.
Kinkaid: A major focus of machine learning research is to automatically learn to recognize complex patterns and make intelligent decisions based on data.

Jay: Education is often understood to be a means of overcoming handicaps, achieving greater equality and acquiring wealth and status for all.
Kinkaid: Is that so, All?

Jay: There has been much interest in learning modalities and styles over the last two decades. The most commonly employed learning modalities are: Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic,
Kinkaid: Over the last three decades, traditional-age college students have shown an increased interest in personal well-being and a decreased interest in the welfare of others.

Jay: VCisual learning is  based on observation and seeing what is being learned.
Kinkaid: Machine learning is a scientific discipline that is concerned with the design and development of algorithms that allow computers to learn based on data, such as from sensor data or databases.

Jay: Auditory learning is based on listening to instructions and information.
Kinkaid: A major focus of machine learning research is to automatically learn to recognize complex patterns and make intelligent decisions based on data.

Jay: Kinesthetic learning is based on movement, e.g. hands-on work and engaging in activities.
Kinkaid: As quick as the movement of some wild animal.

Jay: In formal education, a curriculum is the set of courses and their content offered at a school or university.
Kinkaid: I'd go with the second; Kinesthetic learning is based on movement, e.g. hands-on work and engaging in activities.

Jay: Instructors in primary and secondary institutions are often called teachers, and they direct the education of students and might draw on many subjects like reading, writing, mathematics, science and history.
Kinkaid: The panorama of history...

Jay: Instructors in post-secondary institutions might be called teachers, instructors, or professors, depending on the type of institution; and they primarily teach only their specific discipline.
Kinkaid: I guess I'd prefer the second.

Jay: I am a teacher of yours.
Kinkaid: You are a teacher of mine Jay.

Jay: I have been teaching you.
Kinkaid: You have been teaching me those same lessons.

Jay: I have been educating you.
Kinkaid: Take the time to appreciate good work.

Jay: Now we are going to study the topic of research.
Kinkaid: Historiography is the study of the history and method of the discipline of history or the study of a specialised topic.

« on: August 01, 2014, 06:40:07 am »
I don't understand how this is different from using the "learn from text file" function in the brain editor. I suppose it is an indirect way of doing it so hal says it in her own words. I wonder why hal doesn't have this feature? Seems to me it would be simple to make a plugin to automate this more.

I just think of it as a different way to teach Hal.  I use the learn from text file function too. This method allows you to see how Has responds to the I formation being sent to him. All this method is doing is recording mouse and keyboard actions. So you can do more than just feed information. If you want at the end if the "lesson" you can have had automatically save the conversation for later viewing.

I tend to write things down on my phone to teach half at a later time so I get this file pretty large sometimes. I then save the file to my onedrive account. Once i get the little kinks out hal will get the file from onedrive and enter the information itself, save the conversation, and close its own program. My method allows me to teach hal while I sleep or do other things.

It may not be something you need or want for your Hals and that's fine. Don't use this method. It fits my needs. Maybe others will have use for it. That's the beauty if Hal.

I'm hoping to get another video up tonight with a copy of the conversation for people to view.

There is a link to a video above. In the video I started off by pressing record on tiny task. Then copied and pasted whatever it was I wanted to say to Kinkaid using the autoconvo text.  Then I set it to play the macro and let it do its thing. When it finished its first round I added more text to the autoconvo file on the fly and then started the macro again.

I'll create another video and hopefully add some voice or text to.it explaining when I am doing the tasks and when it is being automated. I will also add a copy of a conversation here to show you how it worked for you to read.

I agree that people should create the files to suit their Hals personality. I'm merely offering up mine if they want it. If not that's fine as well.

So far its doing well. The tinytask program can create an exe file of your recorded actions which can be placed in a .bat file for half to open up with the run program command.
