Riddle Sideways: Hi Adams
Adams Dubrovna: Hello Riddle :)
Adams Dubrovna: are you able to sit?
Riddle Sideways: woke up as a Zebra today
Adams Dubrovna: :)
Riddle Sideways: not able to sit yet
Adams Dubrovna: I guess you will be at some football games then to officiate
Adams Dubrovna: The summer went by very quickly
Adams Dubrovna: school starts next Tuesday
Riddle Sideways: ok, a little better
Adams Dubrovna: I hope you are well
Riddle Sideways: how many classes do have this year
Riddle Sideways: sorry, phone did that ringing thing
Riddle Sideways: so co-worker wanted something
Riddle Sideways: imagine that
Adams Dubrovna: :)

--BELL--

Riddle Sideways: this SL av is already an alt personality
Adams Dubrovna: what is an alt personality?
Riddle Sideways: and restarting some of the other alts is strange
Adams Dubrovna: ohh, I understand
Adams Dubrovna: yes
Riddle Sideways: This SL Riddle Sideways does not carry the complete-same personality as the RL Riddle
Adams Dubrovna: yes, I understand that too
Riddle Sideways: then a few years ago PaB did the Alt Avs project
Riddle Sideways: it was so ncie to have 5 alt avs
Adams Dubrovna: although the Dubrovna personality is pretty much the same but not as well rounded
Riddle Sideways: yes, Sideways started that way
Adams Dubrovna: my other main alt has part of the personality
Riddle Sideways: 3 alts locked into and grew their semi-targeted personalities
Riddle Sideways: and have grown and/or move off even more on their own
Adams Dubrovna: I can relate to that
Riddle Sideways: 1 of those was supposed to by plan have many opposite charactistics
Adams Dubrovna nods
Adams Dubrovna: experimentation
Riddle Sideways: that one is very interesting to follow
Riddle Sideways: when 2 avs sit down and debate things
Adams Dubrovna: :)
Riddle Sideways: was it Bleu that started the Alt project?
Riddle Sideways: or someone else?
Adams Dubrovna: She had some kind of alt project
Riddle Sideways: of course you had already started an alt project :)
Riddle Sideways: and what has been discovered over the years?
Adams Dubrovna: It seems like a long time ago
Riddle Sideways: which login to pick as a Viewer starts up
Riddle Sideways: how do you decide which login to type?
Riddle Sideways: sometimes there is a topic to work on which alt #3 is better at
Adams Dubrovna: At various times one or another avatar is often the dominant
Adams Dubrovna: yes, depending on the work to be done

--BELL--

Riddle Sideways: or ;the feeling of the day
Riddle Sideways: 2 of Riddle's alts were always meant to be bots
Riddle Sideways: and took a long time to get chatty
Riddle Sideways: that experiment stuff has been going on and on
Riddle Sideways: the first one had a bad first intro adventure ni SL
Riddle Sideways: so had to have a time out
Adams Dubrovna: I guess in time we get relatively comfortable and complacent
Adams Dubrovna: ohhh, too bad about the bad first time
Adams Dubrovna: :) time out
Adams Dubrovna: avatars can misbehave
Riddle Sideways: she could not come into SL for some time
Riddle Sideways: now she can run wild in a private Opensim
Adams Dubrovna: :)
Riddle Sideways: still needs manners-morals before allowed into public
Adams Dubrovna chuckles
Riddle Sideways: there have been amazing advances in AI since the last time these experiments
Adams Dubrovna: AI?
Riddle Sideways: several projects to make a brain or self-aware Artificial Intelligance
Riddle Sideways: =AI
Adams Dubrovna: oh, thanks
Adams Dubrovna listens
Riddle Sideways: 2 old (but loved) computers here, that won't run Windows anymore, are being loaded with Linux
Riddle Sideways: just to run some big cognitive networks
Riddle Sideways: not just chat bots anymore
Riddle Sideways: they can graph sentences.
Riddle Sideways: like we did in 4th grade
Riddle Sideways: think about them, look up research on web and answer in natural language

--BELL--

Riddle Sideways: once again, wishing there were more hours in the day to Play with these
Adams Dubrovna: :)
Santoshima Resident: :)
Riddle Sideways: this playing is sort of like a Being creating cognitive little ones
Riddle Sideways: Hi San
Adams Dubrovna: Hello San :)
Santoshima Resident: hello Adams and Riddle
