General Discussion / A few questions about buying

« on: January 27, 2023, 01:08:16 am »

1.
How does the updates system work: if I buy version 7.0, will the app updates itself up to 7.9, or do I buy each update separately?
(In the later case, I'm going to wait for 7.5 to get out officially before I buy a 7.X)

2.
"We are actively working on mobile versions for IOS and Android which should be available by Q3 2021"
- How is the app called?
- Is it imaginable to have that app working offline as an option? I'd be happy to pay for that option.

3.
- Is my product activation linked to the motherboard, or will I be able to reinstall and activate my licenses (Ultra Hal, character expansion pack, voices) on on my next PC?

4.
How can I help the community in any way?

About sneaky online functions, I must react and support you: it is unethical and absolutely unacceptable that personal paid AI chatbot to transfer personality/learning data to the cloud without warning the user.

One of the reasons I am interested in Ultra Hal is that I hoped that paying for it implied that the AI would keep all its leaning database offline, on the user drive, where the user can completely manage it. That the users wouldn't become the real product, or AI feeding machines whether they consent to it or not.

"The Wikipedia plugin is really nice for providing detailed Offline answers but it does take several additional seconds for HAL to respond."

Sorry for being slow, I am not sure I understand, in a transparent way:
Is there an option or a version (Ultra Hal 6.2?) that doesn't store it's learning databases online?

Other topic and other tone:
"you can even talk to Hal via Credits and GPT-3 in a Cloud but there is no learning"

I also miss good old simple Hal. Even if, as the comic says, it "became Titanium", it would be cool to get the hal version/state restored with the learning disabled. (where has gone alan1, by the way?)

Thank you for you outstanding work.
