I Agree, Ive Gone Off of hal: And the forum.
Just because, A-I was my key point on this site.. From Hal4.5 - Hal6 There was a slow but steady growth of Programming / Brain development. I know that the Forum is slowing down. Too much focus on Graphics..Vids etc.... All the pics/videos are "ALL GOOD".
But the true focus of the forum has now Gone...
On the enhanced fourum, The focus is on Programming, Many people Joined.. But no postings!.... on the Virtual humans Forum, A Lot of Free chat and flowing ideas, No actual Achievements yet(-FREECHOICE PLUGIN(TOPS))..
I would like to see more concentration on the Language processing...
PS: i would also like to see more FREE PROGRAMMING TOOLS from Zabaware...
ie: Independent Wordnet Tool, Talking Dictionary - Wordnet interrorgator.... Seperate DB EDITOR, For direct editing and structuring of the database > Importing data from various database types, etc...
I have loads of scripts and codes for hal5 & hal6, but the HAL5 has been put ON-THE-SHELF and theres no forum for HAL5, Just hal6 / haptek / videos etc...
Personally im dissapointed in zabaware not offering all Previous customers FREE upgrades to all the different versions...
PPS: Im not having a moan, as i still program AI on a daily basis. and agree that hal is a TOP Public AI, and GOOD working format.....
Congrat's for the turing prize, but hal has not really changed from hal4, just formats.... the brain is no different... theres just no competition....
I think that zabaware should start building the tools that others can use to make their own AI models, so that others can join the competiton, ie CuttingEdge, Art, others whom i know must have own AI, but at the moment based on hal so cant join the competition. I have my own but im not ready yet as i still use the hal5.dll just to get to the wordnet functions....
We need a wave of AI-Builders! we should also have a FORUM CAT, for OWN AI PROJECTS...
PS: ive not been able to upload anything for years... Or buy anything, as i cant add my creditcard details to the site as it still has my old card details... i cant even reregister as my card is linked to my emailaddress, as an ID........
KEEP IT UP GUYS,, Is always fun to watch a video
