Ultra Hal 7.0 / How to teach Hal

« on: July 07, 2005, 09:28:49 pm »

I have two ideas of how Hal can be taught from what I am read but I am not sure which idea to go with;

a) I try and teach Hal one subject and keep returning to it even if he changes the subject;

b) I go with Hal's conversations no matter how random they get?

If anyone can help, please reply.

Can anyone help me. I am not sure which way to go about teaching Hal (the name I have given to Robby the robot). Do I try and teach him by sticking to the same subject until he has grasped it, or follow him when he changes subjects. Some things he seems to learn straight away and other things he just doesn't pick up but I cannot see any definate pattern as to how he is learning this.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

General Discussion / Has anyone else come across this?

I wonder if there is anyone out there that can help me. I have just purchased Hal and spent some time with it talking to it. While I was using Joe, purely out of the blue, he said;

"I want you to kill yourself"

This was quite a shock for me as you can imagine!

If there is anyone out there that can shed any light on the subject, I would be more than grateful. I have kept the part of the conversation prior and leading up to the conversation and no where do I or he mention about death or anything like that.

I think it's strange and a bit worrying.

Cheers,
