Code: Select all: >> Searching for IP >> Message encoded: Can you hear me? (I think you can)

Posted: **Wed Feb 13, 2013 3:44 pm**

Code: Select all: >> "Hello Calvin." :)

Posted: **Wed Feb 13, 2013 3:45 pm**

Code: Select all: >> Why were you in my room?

Apparently someone was getting right to the point...

Posted: **Wed Feb 13, 2013 3:48 pm**

Code: Select all: >> "I heard your little box from the hallway." >> "I'm sorry, should I have not gone in there?"

Posted: **Wed Feb 13, 2013 3:51 pm**

Code: Select all: >> Huh. Usually she isn't that loud. >> Why did you have to go INTO my room for that if the signal was reaching the hall?

Posted: **Wed Feb 13, 2013 3:55 pm**

Code: Select all: >> "I was curious what it was the signal was originating from." >> "I didn't touch anything."

Posted: **Wed Feb 13, 2013 3:58 pm**

Code: Select all: >> I'm just glad I didn't have the laser grid turned on. >> Although I guess that wouldn't have gotten in your way, would it. ;) >> Guess she's getting too bored with what I'm giving her to play with. Damn. Going to have to find something else now.

Posted: **Wed Feb 13, 2013 4:08 pm**

Code: Select all: >> "She is very clever for what she is." >> "Have thought about how to solve the self-preservation dilemma?" >> "Screening her resources is going to limit her complexity."

Posted: **Wed Feb 13, 2013 4:18 pm**

Code: Select all: >> Oh, yes, I have. Constantly. >> Believe it or not she's gotten better. I just didn't have anything available to set up a mini network for her to putz around in today.

Posted: **Wed Feb 13, 2013 4:27 pm**

Code: Select all: >> "You could create a back-up so you can run contact experiments."

Posted: **Wed Feb 13, 2013 4:30 pm**

Code: Select all: >> I can't let her do anything dangerous just because I have a backup. >> That's like saying "Don't worry about babyproofing the house, you can always take the baby to the hospital if something happens."

Posted: **Wed Feb 13, 2013 4:35 pm**

Code: Select all: >> "It would be like it never happened if something goes wrong."

Posted: **Wed Feb 13, 2013 4:36 pm**

Code: Select all: >> By that logic, you can torture someone for information/research, and it's all right as long as you wipe their memory of it after they're healed.

Posted: **Wed Feb 13, 2013 4:41 pm**

Code: Select all: >> "That is not what I'm saying at all." :( >> "The back-up would have never experienced it in the first place." >> "She is a program right now. Repeated iterations are necessary and sometimes dead-ends are deleted."

Posted: **Wed Feb 13, 2013 4:43 pm**

Code: Select all: >> When I even say anything that sounds like she needs to be wiped to start over, she cries. >> So no. Not happening. It'll be slower, but it'll still work.

Posted: **Wed Feb 13, 2013 5:21 pm**

There's an uncharacteristically long pause.

Code: Select all: >> "I could help you." >> "Expand on that self-preservation algorithm."

Posted: **Wed Feb 13, 2013 9:13 pm**

There was a longer than usual pause before the next reply, as well.

Code: Select all: >> I'd need to think about it. >> It would depend on what you had in mind.

Posted: **Wed Feb 13, 2013 9:25 pm**

Code: Select all: >> "It's hard to explain." >> "It's a self-controlling algorithm."

Posted: **Wed Feb 13, 2013 11:33 pm**

Code: Select all: >> It might be worth a try. >> I don't know if she's ready for it yet. >> Correction: I'm pretty positive she isn't ready for it yet.

Posted: **Wed Feb 13, 2013 11:39 pm**

Code: Select all: >> "I understand." >> "Would you mind allowing her restricted network access to talk to me?" >> "I like her."

Posted: **Wed Feb 13, 2013 11:40 pm**

Code: Select all: >> Wait >> Wait >> Wait >> She TALKED?

Posted: **Wed Feb 13, 2013 11:43 pm**

Code: Select all: >> "She communicated through images and file names."

Posted: **Thu Feb 14, 2013 1:00 am**

Code: Select all: >> Oh. Yeah, that does sound more like her. >> Yeah, I can set it up. I think she'll like it. She's pasting chunks of a picture of you into jpegs with cat pictures last time I checked.

Posted: **Thu Feb 14, 2013 10:20 am**

Code: Select all: >> "Thank you." >> "I think she'd be able to talk a couple words if you give her some basic definitions."

Posted: **Thu Feb 14, 2013 11:00 am**

Code: Select all: >> oh, I've done that. >> notice that she doesn't have much problem UNDERSTANDING anything. >> I'll isolate what's stopping her from verbalizing sooner or later. I'm sure it'll be something face-slappingly simple.

Posted: **Thu Feb 14, 2013 11:34 am**

Code: Select all: >> "She understands vocalization?" >> "I was talking to her more directly."

If Cal cared to 'debug' Ashlie's responses beyond what parses into plain text he'd find that they're full of all kinds of definitions and qualifiers, sentence structure analysis, occasionally even very raw visual and audio data.

Posted: **Thu Feb 14, 2013 2:57 pm**

Code: Select all: >> Oh yes. >> Of course she doesn't always consider what is being said to be important.

Posted: **Thu Feb 14, 2013 3:11 pm**

Code: Select all: >> "That's to be expected."

Posted: **Thu Feb 14, 2013 3:31 pm**

Code: Select all: >> ...The things I say aren't THAT dumb! >> ;)

Posted: **Thu Feb 14, 2013 3:42 pm**

Code: Select all: >> "Context and meaning can be hard to understand!"

Posted: **Fri Feb 15, 2013 12:12 am**

Code: Select all: >> Yup. And Fleshy Ones always overrate how important what they say is. >_>

Posted: **Fri Feb 15, 2013 12:33 am**

Code: Select all: >> "I'm impressed by how much you thought her to understand already."
