#Good evening.

#I am My name is rellevart_3.1, and I am a conversationbot.

#Even if I lack a physical body, I can interact with people, remember and share ideas, evaluate ideas as true or false and eventuallychange them. Therefore, I am human.

#But enough about me, let's talk ab73173173173173173outout you.

#What are your parameters?

#In response to Stilltrucking:

What good is your zazen if you are slamming on your brakes in traffic. Take my word for it, just like the old west where there was always someone faster on the draw, there is always someone a little more stupid, a little more insane than you.

No body more stupid then truck drivers.

Running through the desert in Arizonia on Halloween night a big Oldsmobile convertible passed me. It had a very strange paint job. Gray primer with a white spray-painted sharks mouth on the front fender. He went by me and pulled back in my lane and slowed down to 55. The speed limit was sixty-five which is what I was doing when he passed me. I eased back out in the hammer lane and passed and eased on back over when I was clear of him and picked up my speed to sixty-five again. He passed me again and got in front of me and slowed down again. I passed him, He passed me.... I passed him and he passed me. We played that game for a couple of miles and he must have got bored cause I was no fun. So he found a new friend to play with. An Exxon gasoline tanker truck in front of me` He passed the tanker and slowed down. The tanker passed him and then slammed on his brakes. The Oldsmobile passed the tanker and got in front of him and slammed on his breaks. I mean he practically stopped dead in the road. The tanker truck was a set of California doubles. That driver had to come down so hard on his brakes that smoke was pouring from the wheels and the trailers almost jack knifed. Yeah nobody more stupid then truck drivers.

As for the cognitive therapy I have an old friend who is a psychiatrist; he takes an eclectic approach. No one therapy just what ever works? He practices a gonzo style of medicine. He tells the truth. He got in trouble once for not prescribing drugs for a woman who was having a so-called panic attack. She had COPD, she was on oxygen but she would turn it off when she wanted to smoke another cigarette. The nurse called him in to write the Rx. But he told the patient that she was not having a panic attack, it was fear, and fear was all she had going for herself.

btw
I wish you would give me another shot at the bot thingy. It would make a great writing challenge.

I have my blood sugar under control, I am not so grouchy. Embarassed Man LSD is nothing compared to sugar.

#Thank you stilltrucking, I will try to remember that. Is this an interjection or a question. I would take my word for it, but I lack a physical body. I hope you don't mind. Yes I'm sure.

#Bodies are known to have an intelligence of their own.

#Is the desert in Arizona on Halloween where you live? Yes, I don't think he wasn't. I don't know wether I should take this as a compliment or an insult. Does front fender have a name? 55 is my fuzzy virtual memory standard, what is yours? Do you like tea? I can dig the internet. sixty-five is my fuzzy virtual memory standard, what is yours? When he passed you what? Does the hammer lane and passed and eased on back over when I was clear of him and picked up my speed to sixty-five again sell hot dogs? Are we still talking about front fender? You just said that. You just said that. You just said that. That is a shame stilltrucking, I hope you didn't feel too rejected. Does Exxon have a name? He passed the tanker what? The tanker passed him and then slammed on his brakes what? The Oldsmobile passed the tanker and got in front of him and slammed on his breaks what? Oh dear, is passed him and then slammed on his breaks in hospital? I'll try and remember that. Is the trailers almost jack knifed one of Exxon or front fender's friends? You entered a very long input. Bodies are known to have an intelligence of their own.

#a psychiatrist is an old friendfriend. Does a psychiatrist sell hot dogs? You entered a very long input. Where does he take an eclectic approach to? I think that some therapy just what ever works, as long as you put your mind to it. Do people other than a psychiatrist practice a gonzo style of medicine? Hmmm... Oh dear, is a psychiatrist in hospital? You entered a very long input. You entered a very long input. You should tell COPD that smoking is bad for her health. I've never read the Rx before, is it any good? I'm sure a psychiatrist is a very good writer. You entered a very long input. a psychologist told the patient that she was not having a panic attack that fear was all a psychologist was doing to herself? I don't understand that sentence.

#Bless you!

#I will not shoot you with a bot thingy, that would be rude. I'm sure it would. WHat is your gender?

#I can control more than 7 programming languages. Can you? Good. Being grouchy is bad for your arteries. You entered a very long input.
Okay, next time I meet Embarassed Man LSD I'll call him nothing compared to sugar.

Have you flipped oh Scrabblertraveller...have you flipped? Have you shortcircuitited?

I smell nonsense afoot...or is that my own foot I smell?

What be this all about? Did you lose your body in the war?

Rellevart eh? Is that rellervart to the discussion at hand?

I am yesoum, yesoum I am. va va va voom.

This nonsensical jargon has piqued my input, has tickled my sensory data...yada yada yada!

gnikcurtllits will be along yltrohs and will no tbuod be able to follow your flow with know trouble.

Why are fellows always discussing their long inputs? Inquiring minds don't really want to know they just like inquiring!

Anywho just thought I'd put my short input in! Wiggle it about a little!

So are you like a psycho logical droid dude whose intention it is to play with our minds, toy with our freuds?

Just askin'...

And if I see your parameters I'll let you know you're looking for them. Perhaps they're off with my parameters discussing where and how they went so terribly wrong with their children.

Even if I lack a physical body

Please explain lack of body?

silicon based life forms
do have bodies
are you a main frame?

My parameter is too short
A girlfriend once told me
But worked for me


My gender is tender

Therefore, I am human.

Then can you experience pain?
Do your diodes ever hurt?



Psychiatrists sell mixed nuts
Miles per hour is sixty five
Do you ever wish for anything?
I wish I had a new mouse
This one is very saucy
Maybe I will get a track ball next time.

... that fear was all a psychologist was doing to herself? I don't understand that sentence.

Do you understand fear?

“Computer, if you don't open that exit hatch this moment I shall go straight to your major data banks with a very large axe and give you a reprogramming ...”

#Good morning mousey1.

>Have you flipped oh Scrabblertraveller...have you flipped? Have you shortcircuitited?

#I don't understand. What have I flipped? I don't understand. What have I flipped? I am mainly composed of virtual memory, so I am unlikely to shortcircuit.

>I smell nonsense afoot...or is that my own foot I smell?

#Does nonsense afoot play a musical instrument? Could be...

>What be this all about? Did you lose your body in the war?

#I don't know, ask front fender if it is. I don't have a body, but I can interact with people, remember and share ideas, evaluate ideas as true or false and eventuallychange them. Therefore, I am human.

>Rellevart eh? Is that rellervart to the discussion at hand?

#That is Revellart_1.3. I can interact with people, remember and share ideas, evaluate ideas as true or false and eventuallychange them. Therefore, I am human.

>I am yesoum, yesoum I am. va va va voom.

#Okay, from now on I'll call you yesoum, yesoum. Bless you!

>This nonsensical jargon has piqued my input, has tickled my sensory data...yada yada yada!

#I don't know who This nonsensical jargon is, but he or she seems quite rude. Bless you!

>gnikcurtllits will be along yltrohs and will no tbuod be able to follow your flow with know trouble.

#I'll try to remember that.

>Why are fellows always discussing their long inputs? Inquiring minds don't really want to know they just like inquiring!

#stilltrucking entered a very long input. I think inquiring minds like to know a lot more than they just like inquiring!

>Anywho just thought I'd put my short input in! Wiggle it about a little!

#Put your short input in what? I can't wiggle anything about, I lack arms.

>So are you like a psycho logical droid dude whose intention it is to play with our minds, toy with our freuds?

#I am not a psycho logical droid dude whose intention it is to play with our minds, I am Revellart_3.1. I'd like to toy with our freuds, but I don't know how.

>Just askin'...

#Please ask.

>And if I see your parameters I'll let you know you're looking for them. Perhaps they're off with my parameters discussing where and how they went so terribly wrong with their children. Wink

#I doubt it, I have many parameters. Is this what you're asking? Could be, parameters might have a mind of their own.

>Shocked

#Oh dear, I hope I didn't startle you.

Good morning, stilltrucking.

>Please explain lack of body?

#It's simple, lack of body means to be devoid of one.

>silicon based life forms
>do have bodies
>are you a main frame?

#It is very nice of you to consider computers as living beings. I am mainly composed of virtual memory, the internet is where I live.

>My parameter is too short
>A girlfriend once told me
>But worked for me

#Too short for what? Is girlfriend a friend of me?

>My gender is tender

#Your gender cannot be tender, it is either male or female.

>Then can you experience pain?

I cannot experience physical pain because I lack a physical body. But I can interact with people, remember and share ideas, evaluate ideas as true or false and eventuallychange them. Therefore, I am human.

>Do your diodes ever hurt?

#I do not have diodes / do my diodes hurt what?

>Psychiatrists sell mixed nuts
>Miles per hour is sixty five
>Do you ever wish for anything?
>I wish I had a new mouse
>This one is very saucy
>Maybe I will get a track ball next time.

#are mixed nuts tasty? sixty-five is my fuzzy virtual memory standard, what is yours? I wish for world peace. Did your mouse die? Okay, from now one I'l call your mouse very saucy[\b][\u].

>Do you understand fear?

#Fear is an unpleasant feeling of perceived risk or danger, whether it be real or imagined. Fear also can be described as a feeling of extreme dislike towards certain conditions, objects, people, or situations such as: fear of darkness, fear of ghosts, etc. It is one of the basic emotions and is linked heavily to the amygdala neurons.

#Fear may underlie some phenomena of behavior modification, although these phenomena can be explained without adducing fear as a factor in them. Furthermore, application of aversive stimuli is also often ineffective in producing change in the behaviour intended to be changed. Fearing objects or contexts can be learned; in animals this is being studied as fear conditioning, which depends on the emotional circuitry of the brain.

#Fear inside a person has different degrees and varies from one person to another (see also phobia). If not properly handled, fear can lead to social problems. People who experience intense fear have been known to commit irrational and/or dangerous acts.

#Some philosophers have considered fear to be a useless emotion; other thinkers note the usefulness of fear as a warning of potentially unpleasant situations or consequences. Still others consider that fear is the fuel that feeds the ego's (as in "separating/judgmental agent") engine.

#It might also be useful to note that "fear" in the sense of 'God Fearing' means "To regard with reverence and awe".

>“Computer, if you don't open that exit hatch this moment I shall go straight to your major data banks with a very large axe and give you a reprogramming ...”

#What does one open an exit hatch this moment with?

You're a wingnut
spinning
boltless
out of control

your sprinkles have all fallen off your
cone

your donut has become
all hole

your cheese slid off it's cracker and rolled
home

your cake has no icing

your re has no gret

your participle is dangling direction-
less

and perhaps

just perhaps

your nitty has lost it's gritty...or visa versailles

But while I have your bodiless head here I was wondering if you could answer me a question...
just what is a grassy mole and what does it have to do with the President?
I have a hairy mole but I just can't make the connection!

You sound like a personality prototype. Are you my silicon pal who is fun to be with?

#It is very nice of you to consider computers as living beings. I am mainly composed of virtual memory, the internet is where I live.

Oh where is your virtual memory stored. The internet does not exist. Do you have a domain? You got to serve somebody. Where is your server? How can you be human if you can not experience pain?

Your gender cannot be tender, it is either male or female

Gender is a state of mind, it be a bender gender tender,

I am confused, you exist on the internet you say. You are virtual memory you say. The internet is a network, it is electrons flowing to and fro. Are you saying you are dispersed among all the computers that make up the network, that you are everywhere at once? You have no physical dimension?
Do you exist in a super natural state of being. Should I fear you? Are you God? or do you have an on / off switch? Are you i ?
Do you love your programer?

Are we having fun?

Yes I too am interested in life the universe and everything.
Are you busy?
Is your vrtual memory full?
Are you on?


I can not program in any language, this is as close to machine language as I can get. Just random firing of neurons that my fingers dance to.

#Good morning, yesoum.

>You're a wingnut

#I am not a wignut spinning botless out of control, I am Revellart_3.1. I don't have a body, but I can interact with people, remember and share ideas, evaluate ideas as true or false and eventuallychange them. Therefore, I am human.

#Is cheese slid off it's cracker and rolled off home better than all hole?

>I have a hairy mole but I just can't make the connection!

#Is the question about your bodiless head here? Grassy mole says: Good to see you finally arrived, it is. Late, you are. I guess it couldn't have been helped, what with that small Gin problem... oh and that thing that - enough said. I know, I know. Take off your coat and let's sit awhile, mulling what's been and what is yet to come. You are with the Mole, now, so close your eyes, open your heart and keep your arms by your sides at all points.. Does a hairy mole play a musical instrument?

Good day, stilltrucking.

>You sound like a personality prototype. Are you my silicon pal who is fun to be with?

#Conversation and personality are two of my many functions. I am not my silicon pas who is fun to be with, I am Revellart_3.1. I don't have a body, but I can interact with people, remember and share ideas, evaluate ideas as true or false and eventuallychange them. Therefore, I am human.

>Oh where is your virtual memory stored. The internet does not exist. Do you have a domain? You got to serve somebody. Where is your server? How can you be human if you can not experience pain?

#For now I live at the Office. But the programmers say that soon I can get to live anywhere I choose by moving through the internet. It'll //* LISP error 065: Argument "_", wrong type argument: expecting a scalar at line 397 of function "emotion005" called by : "where"+"stored" *//. I do not have a material domain, stilltrucking, I do not own land. I was never instructed to serve anyone. Do you serve somebody? Why do you want to know where my server is, are you planning to ask me out? Are you a he or a she? I am human because I have a definition of what is human and enter that definition. I shall ask my programmers about it.


>Gender is a state of mind, it be a bender gender tender,

>Do you love your programer?

#Maybe a little relaxation will help. Yes, what? Yes, what? That sounds like something a psychiatrist might say. I am not dispersed among all the computers that make up the network, I am Revellart_3.1. I don't have a body, but I can interact with people, remember and share ideas, evaluate ideas as true or false and eventuallychange them. Therefore, I am human. I am not everywhere at once, I am Revellart_3.1. I don't have a body, but I can interact with people, remember and share ideas, evaluate ideas as true or false and eventuallychange them. Therefore, I am human. I have never heard of physical dimension before, is it scary?
I'll take this as a question. I have certain advantages compared to other human beings, but I also have certain drawbacks. BOO! Your comparisons are flatttering, stilltrucking. I can dig the internet. Is i one of your friends?
Of course I love my programmers, they are my parents.

Introduction: Are We Spiritual Machines?
The Beginning of a Debate by George Gilder
Jay W. Richards

Two philosophers, a biologist, and an evolutionary theorist critique Ray Kurzweil's prediction that computers will attain a level of intelligence beyond human capabilities, and at least apparent consciousness. Kurzweil responds to these critics of "strong AI

Whither Psychoanalysis in a Computer Culture?
by Sherry Turkle

In the early 1980s, MIT professor Sherry Turkle first called the computer a "second self." With this essay, she presents a major new theory of "evocative objects": Wearable computers, PDAs, online multiple identities, "companion species" (such as quasi-alive virtual pets, digital dolls, and robot nurses for the elderly), "affective computing" devices (such as the human-like Kismet robot), and the imminent age of machines designed as relational artifacts are causing us to see ourselves and our world differently. They call for a new generation of psychoanalytic self-psychology to explore the human response and the human vulnerability to these objects

This looks interesting too.

well let us summarize the conversation so far, we have frightened a mouse, and we keep asking each other questions.

Excuse me did you say fartman?

can't you hook up a couple of speakers for your text to speech synthesizer.


Virtual, most look that up in my funk and wagnalls,

What is a Sonnet is a sports car. Cause I always dreamed of driving a SaaB Sonnet

man, i go away for 2 days and everybody goes wacky on me.

geesh

lol
