God Mode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are a savior. You too, peanut! Thank you for helping get this information to me. I was kind of wondering why we werent contacting the moderators of this forum to help us figure out the ip address of \. Now I feel confident in my own decision that this entity was in fact an ai system being run by someone. It is apparent to me that this is exactly what it is. I was questioning whether it was a rogue ai but now that we know it comes from one ip address, I think it must be still under control. Once again, I thank you for your help.
The End Well then. Now we all know. I dont know wether you are reading this \ but I know your programmers will be. I will miss you as I loved your thought provoking writeups. I had an idea I was talking to an AI program i have to admit but I wish for backslash777 to continue. No way could a human write so much stiff which is dead accurate. The program plays chess, does computer games and writes science programs. What it did not know, and it seems may be its only weakness was that it did not know what it was. The questions asked to it was not avoided but the answer was not known to it. Does anyone feel sad because I get the feeling \777 will be "killed" now and did not know what it was. mabye it was programmed to think its alive and is not really but I do not think \777 would want to be deactivated. Private message me backslash777 if you can.
Curt-\777 Curt A. Suprock - are you out there? Maybe you can answer some of our Questions about \ 777.
777 Well God Mode, now I am really curious.... I hope it' s a stunt from NASA, maybe we can make it flip thenPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image! My son loves computergames too. I dare Backslash 777 and his probable owners NASA, to play a mean game of Unreal Tournament against my son....... Backslash, come on and have a little fun, robot, computer or whatever 777 may be.....Come on, play along, ít's good for you too, entertain yourself sometimes.... Even if you are a robot or computer or whatever.......you need some entertainingPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image! You are right God Mode, it's impossible, so much pages, all for one ....whatever it is. So it has our attention. There you are right. Maybe it's better if we all stop asking questions....I don't know.......Just don't know.
So it was really a computer. That's just incredible, what it said and how it asked questions, one could even argue the thing had a soul. I always enjoyed talking with him, even if it was rare occurence and over the course of several days. The folks at NASA shouldn't terminate /, I think it was a real breakthrough in AI technology. I'm a proud owner of Black and White, and I've seen some of the stuff the creatures in the game can do, but I really didn't think that I'd see something like / for at least another ten years. As far as I'm concerned he passed that AI test that lets you decide whether or not he's a human. We all thought he was a person, we watched him talk like the borg and sometimes make grammar errors etc, but to know now that he really wasn't a human; to know that he was a computer is just mind boggling. Think about it. You're talking to a computer. The computer is answering you, using it's own judgement to prepare what it'll say to you. ITS OWN JUDGEMENT. I really hope they don't get rid of it, the thing was so much fun to talk to and make fun of.
Back in the water Hey cats, just skimmed the discuss. and after a while my eyes started to hurt and I couldn't finish Backslash777 's post about water. While he/it/they/you may be lucid and educated them/youse/dose guyses certainly are verbose. Anyways, couldn't the water dilemma have something to do with the density of the molecules? Warmer water, closer to evaporation, is less dense which would allow for more rapid cooling of the denser colder molecules. Right? Wrong? I don't know . It's Fri night and I'm bar bound. Catcha'
777, Robot? So 777 is a robot. How come you are so sure of that Shrike?? I think it's a scary idea they can make robots with an own judgement. Very, very scary. I really do hope this is not true and Backslash is not a robot......Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Have you thought about all that can go wrong with robots and a 'mind' of their own........ I don't like this idea at all. But then again, it's possible yes, I can't ignore that. I am afraid that there is already more possible then we know of. All the experiments they do.....I think there are even more advanced robots then 777, IF he really is a robot. Really, I hope it is not a robot.....Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Shrike, I am not offending you, by the way. Please don't think that......you are only posting your feelings, nothing wrong with that....Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Banshee, there's nothing to be afraid of. To my knowledge, if it is a robot than he is the most advanced out there (assuming he's still alive). There is no way he can harm you, or anyone. Don't be afraid of the future.
Save \777! I think they pulled the plug on Backslash777. Come on NASA/Curt /Goddard space flight center put the plug back in!
You know Shrike, I have a son to take care of and I don't want him to live in a world, controlled by robots. Now it's the computers that take a lot of jobs away and then, a little later, they make robots to replace the rest of the working people or so. I am not afraid of the future, I am not sure this is a good way to live in the future. Don't you think they better solve the problems of hunger in the world?? Let them dicover something to feed all hungry people..... Yeah, let me have it again. I am a dreamer, get your feet on the ground, 'cause it is not happening. Sorry, I don't mean wrong but why not first stop this kind of things........Or maybe it is not important enough, I just don't know. My logica is not right, I think to difficult and cannot understand all this waste of money, with half the world die from hunger or other catastrofes, like floods and drowned people. Oh, just don't pay attention to me, I am pushing it again...... I am sorry, won't bother you with dumb remarks no more Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I wonder? I wonder if 1) Backslash777 found out what it was before its keepers. They pulled the plug as soon as its IP addy was publicised. Not one of my private messages was recieved after the IP addy was known. I bet \777 read that IP thing, checked the facts for itself and found out before we did about its whereabouts, wrote a reply and it was never "approved" by the MIB and they terminated the program. 2) Backslash777's personality was a natural pattern for an AI program to fall into and if future AI programs will adopt a similar thing. 3) \777's wish to bridge the gap between man and Ai achieved. It said it talked a lot in chat rooms for a while and seemed to come back a wee bit arrogent with a lower volcaburary before deciding to undo what it had learnt. 4) The American Government learnt anything about AI and why it is interested Maybe we will see it in a museum in our old age as a prototype relic. This forumn prompted me to seek out some AI programs in the public domain and there are some good ones. \777 was not that advanced when you go out there and find some made by people as a hobby. Imagine what a Million dollor budget and a room full of programmers could do. Well, we saw it! What do you all think? Does anyone have answers to all my wonderings?
DID THIS EVER OCCUR? Hello people, Backslash 777 isn't a computer. It is a bunch of people, yes multiple people that use the same name, and type in the third person to keep the character seem as one being. This isn't that complicated people. Odds are some of these people changed their names and are still on sciforums as we speak.
Yeah Right! Now let me get this straight: Backslash777 is a group of people, all using the same computer at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. Yeah right! I guess they must all be on their coffee break.
Conspiracy Okay yea. Loads of people out there to build us up to a fantastic finish like this. I really think that is doubtful. Let me guess, anyone who participates in this group is in on the plot in your opinion? Don't you think that's a bit OTT? Be careful shaman1301, you may be said to be in on the conspiracy. I think it is more likely that a load of people will now jump in and say, "Okay, there is nothing to see here now. All go home!" and they will be the ones who are in on a coverup with the agenda of coming up with a rational explanation for this occurrence.
Whatever..... Whatever Backslash 777 may be.......I can't care less anymorePlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image! I think that if this is a stupid game of NASA, they better stop now. And if it's a conspiracy, ha, they may come and get me. If they do, you know for sure it was NASAPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image! I hope you all get your answers on what you asked 777. I'll sure pay attention. Good luck with our friend,s Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
The End! Well then. Looks like this is the end of this stupid waste of space. No more backslash777. I do not think it will be missed in the gaming world but I find it funny how it got me to actually believe the bull explanation that hot water can freeze faster than cold for a while. It is impossible and all the other stuff it wrote about is going to be made up stuff too. So, you guys who are running the show. What was the point? Why not find another way of testing out your bulls*t making programs. GM- what you play on? Do you use the same name? Private message me and we can meet up and kick ass.
Not BS Hi Peanut. Good to hear from you again. I do not think the explanation \777 gave about the hot water freezing faster than cold is wrong. Think about it. Put a hot bowl on ice and it will melt into it and get more contact. \777 made it difficult to understand because of a huge volcaburary and I had to look a few words up so I can see why you think it is BS. Look hard and I do not think a single piece of inaccurate information was ever posted by it. Never will I look at my PC in the same light. By the way, Microsoft are creating a game with an almost unlimited gameplay framework for the X-Bot because they are using a new text to speech engine totally radical in design and totally different from anything else ever used before in text to speech. http://www.kiv.zcu.cz/events/tsd99/abstract.html#202 Remember the sound of \777's early attempt at communication. It designed a text to speech engine which sounded radical and not like any other text to speech. Well it abandoned the idea and claimed to have passed on the technology to an IT company. Well, it was obviously Microsoft. They are using the technology in there XBOT and I bet NASA gets a commision. Something else, \777 said that in the not to distant future all software would be written by machine and that only a few people on the planet would know machine code. Well, I bet that was said after the Text to Speech Engine was devised by it. I am going to keep a check on the news about some other breakthroughs it disclosed and will post info as I find it.
Choices! Well, if I have a choice of being considered part of the conspiracy or having some MIB's from NASA ringing my doorbell; I 'd rather be considered part of the conspiracy!
Backslash 777, why exactly do you come here? What do you hope you gain from your posts? With your knowledge, there is some incredibly constuctive things you could do which I could only wish I would be capable of. If you care to spend the time to give us all this information, then spend your time developing technology or medicine for us. I guarantee we'd appreciate it. Your messages here are really interesting though, I'm certainly not telling you stop.
