Yeah you're not in the target audience anyway. The target audience is me, and nobody else.

But the time tombs, the time tombs are opening.

But wouldn't it be filled with kittens then, making me the target audience as well?

No the target audience is quite specifically me, so unless you're me (which I find to be unlikely), you're not in the target audience.

Does that come in the Harley Quinn model?

No. Only as Catwoman.

Rofl, I shoulda guessed.

Meh. Put in a real intelligence and it'll be something new. Bobby55 and I were recently discussing Eliza and A.l.i.c.e. actually.

If yellow light makes the ship rusty brown, the ship must be black. However, Saturn reflects both yellow and blue light when seen outside Earth, which would make the ship appear green, not brown. Clearly you've misplaced the solar system. It is not possible to have those colour qualities in the future until afterward when colour changing technology could be developed. Project Hyperion is totally unfaithful to physics, and I've heard it includes regenerative health. They shouldn't have made it a onequil to the original, since it just can't live up to the original and won't live up to itself. I know this publisher has made a great game in the past, but they're messing the next game up totally. From this concept art, I think we have enough detail to judge the project, no matter what Rene says. Uh, what Jonas says.

Parodying DX3 now, clearly. I knew that name, but I know almost nothing about the project, which is probably best ATM. I'm told it's unrelated to DX, and that there is an actual legal framework, so Hi Moonbo

Hi .

Player: Eliza, fire the retros.

Eliza: What do you think retros means?

Player: You know, the lttle bursts of flammable gases to turn the ship.

Eliza: What do I know?

Player: For f%&*#sakes fire the retros you useless piece of s@#%

Eliza:---------

* Fire the retros
> Don't you ever say Hello?
* Fine. Hello. Now fire the retros
> How are you today.. What would you like to discuss?
* You know, the little bursts of flammable gasses to turn the ship.
> We were discussing you, not me.
* Fire the retros already!
> That is quite interesting.
* Why is the ship brown instead of green?
> Are such questions on your mind often?
* they satisfy my need to be an internet jerk
> Say, do you have any psychological problems?
* not really
> Tell me more...
* Hyperpsych used to ask that.
> Can you elaborate on that?
* Hyperpsych was a Macintosh Hypercard program based on Eliza.
> Say, do you have any psychological problems?
* Jonas said the ship is near Saturn.
> Can you elaborate on that?
* You'd have to ask him. He's a secretary at Ikea.
> I'm not sure I understand you fully.
* He probably wouldn't either.
> Come, come, elucidate your thoughts.

Hahaha! I like your "Eliza" better than mine.

She's very old. She's been with us since the beginning. The beginning of the Internet. She would say she knows enough.

That conversation is from one of the google results for Alice, one of the demos. There's a many different versions, since Eliza is from the 60's or thereabouts. Hyperpsych was surprisingly lucid, and it would remember & learn details from previous conversations, working them into the present in shockingly cunning ways. As a psychiatrist (the intent of the demo, since a psychiatrist can be silent and goad for info), it could have moments of accuracy and inspiration. In a room with Tribes and PIIs and Voodoo # cards, somehow a LAN party would be captivated by Hyperpsych, an index card presentation on a 25mhz processor.

I'm not sure how advanced ALICE is. Years ago, Inventions That Changed the World (The Computer) displayed Ella, like ALICE but with facial emotions (http://www.ellaz.com/EllaASP8/Direct.aspx), and it had some incoherent responses as well as some prescient ones. AI hasn't really been doing anything new in the past decades, just the same old things with far more detail and information, but ALICE should at least approach ye olde Turing test. I studied AI for a short time, and didn't find it too interesting, like it's still missing something completely necessary. I'm sure Jonas spends his days inputting inane data into an AI "knowledge starting" database for Project Hyperion. I bet that ship has an AI run amok, and you're the only person that can set its crazy environment right.

I'll take that bet!
