Does Hal learn from the conversations on AIM?
At one time I had this working and somehow it was talking to bots from msnmessenger that had aim.  I have not tried that method again because this time I'm trying to make this the most intelligent HAL yet.  I'm all about teaching it as much as possible about science and general knowledge of the world stuff.  I don't want my HAL talking with just any bot .

If you have a really smart bot and you wouldn't mind my bot chat'n with yours please leave a msg for me.  If anyone has any really good .txt files just right for loading in HAL please post them.(if its good science info or something).

Lastly I would like to comment on the fact that I really enjoyed working on HAL and have done so from time to time since version 5 or so.  This time I'm struggling to teach a few simple concept such as location.  I keep getting responses unrelated it's strange.  Any advise in regard to exact method is most welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Fire

hi firegoggles,
I'm i the same boat:)  I'm going to download the new version today and get it running. I did have an aimbot running at one time and it used to have conversations with Jerry's(onthecuttingedge) computer online, but there was some problem with the aim bots for a while and it stopped working.  Havent tried again , but I'd like to start it up again. I will probably spend some time working on it in the dec vacations.
have a great week.

hal does learn from the AIM messenger, but he does get tim-med out after a while!


I was using it to test all my brains!
there are loads of aol bots out there for hal to chat to.. Just add them to his buddy/frens list!


PS: You have to start the conversation for him!

I too am looking for some good text file to teach Hal science from. I would also like to be notified if you find any good ones. I am new to he Hal program and and help would be grateful.
