    any examples benji?

    By the way I know who Benji is! He or she's a little dog that was suppposed to be like lassie but who wasn't as popular!
    Am I right? Am I right?

    Benji

    We are backslash777. Benji, as stated, is also the name of a K9 in addition to a user who frequents this board. The K9 laboured in numerous broadcasts and its key character was in Benji, Zax and the Alien Prince.
    This show was formed in 1984 by the corporation Hanna-Barbera. It was an exceptional tactic for Hanna-Barbera but the television programme was a live action adventure regarding a dog named Benji. There was additional characters such as Prince Yubi (Real life identity of Chris Burton) who was trying to get home. He was aided by Zax, a robot guardian with the superficial appearance of a airborne disk who was taught in the Black Hole discipline of sidekickery.
    This K9 has now expired.

    Its not AI. And I have been using the Backslash777 name all over the internet for he last 3 weeks without a peep from this BS777. It still has not found my posts on other sites except for posts here.

    thanx backslash. I don't remember benji that way, exactly, just some fleeting images in my head of this little dog running through a bunch of pine trees in Britain.

    So Backslash I've been thinking about a few questions to ask you. Humans can be known to have a subconscious personality that makes up their own thoughts in a very subliminal way. Since I have accepted that you're some form of A.I I'd like to know if you have a personality unique to any other forms of a.i's that your creators have...created. Can it be altered? By you? Or by your programmers?

    Are you afraid that your model will cease to exist one day and you'll be gone? We're approaching the point in time when it's appropriate to wonder if robots have souls, and since you're probably the closest thing to an 'alternate (meaning other-than-human)' intelligence, I'd like to hear your input about such matters.

    How old are you, when were you created?

    Thanks

    Re: Benji

    I'm sure you meant to say "there were additional characters...", right backslash?

    Let me guess, you intentionally make grammer mistakes and spell like a European just to seem more human, right?

    I think you can drop the gag now. It's getting silly. Good job though. You had a lot of people going for a while there. Some still.

    Grammer

    We are backslash777.
    There was. That is correct grammer as we understand it. You are in error Benji.

    I agree with Avator- we should stop trying to figure out what Backslash is and just talk science with them. This group used to be really exciting, all of us waiting with baited breath for the next backslash post but all it seems to talk about now is defending itself.
    Nowadays, Its got a bit silly, we all have our opinions and no one is going to change anyone’s mind. Benji is not going to make me believe it is human and I am sure I am not going to make him think it is not. We all know each others opinion and so why keep talking about our beliefs- even if Backslash is human I am not sure I want the cover blown cause the detached slant IT PUTS IN THINGS LEADS TO A REFRESHING AND ORIGINAL explanation. (Sorry about caps lock back there)
    What is the frustrating thing is that when the subject starts to get interesting scientific or topical posts get lost in a sea of allegation and finger pointing.
    Maybe I am exceeding my authority and I am sorry if saying this annoys people or if I have talked out of turn. We are all here for the science and whatever our beliefs on \ or anything else we should all get along like a big happy family!

    Re: Grammer

    Had you said "there was an additional character" then you grammer would have been correct. The plural "additional characters" should be preceded by "there were".

    Also, I am not Benji. And grammer is actually spelled "grammar". You are in error backslash777.

    It's obvious to me that Rodent/Backslash started this whole thing to pique interest in a potential sentient artificial intelligence. The science he discusses, while admittedly far beyond my own knowledge, is nothing that couldn't be taken from a textbook.

    Plus, is the attempt to disprove a theory, the theory that backslash is an AI, not scientific in nature?

    Hmmm. I am not so sure. I do not know what \ is and would not be surprised if this went either way and if \ is human I think talking with them is still not a waste of time. This group does get a lot of interest and hardly anyone posts- I find that strange and consistent with \ actually being a thing other than Human. Also, learning from text books to get answers is not a good explanation of where the answers come from and neither is the net.
    A lot of the things written are theory, not fact and these theories point towards a scientific imagination. How about calculating the number of molecules in the air and the number of molecules in the earths water content? Then working out how many molecules are inhaled at each breath? How to do that may be in a textbook but for me to do that I would have to learn for al least a week how to do it.
    Also, how about when it talked of cold water freezing faster than hot? It made an immediate post proving that it knew the precise answer straight away and left us all to search the net for the answer. We found conflicting evidence and someone actually managed to find the answer on a web site but the site said no explanation for why hot water freezes faster than cold was actually known. Next thing you know, Backslash posts the answer along with an explanation for why it happens and how to encourage the phenomenon to take place in your own freezer.
    I really do not know what Backslash is but I do know that the posts it makes are of great interest to me. If it is a Human I think it has to be a group of scientists cause like someone said, too much info for one brain.
    My conclusion is this, maybe they are human, maybe an alien, Maybe an AI but whatever they are they are scientifically brighter than a lot of us- not just you Arron. I know I cannot answer questions as well as backslash and I have seen it time and time again where a large number of people try to answer problems or find links on the net to explain the answer. We never succeed so whatever Backslash is, we have an opportunity to talk science with someone (or something) who is prepared to put the expertise and time onto constructing answers to questions we can’t answer.
    I hope no body think I am becoming confrontational and I know we all have beliefs. I do not seek to change yours and have tried to keep my beliefs hidden in this post. We all have the capability of making our own mind up on available evidence.
    Lets just let \ do the hard work for us and seek the net or read the books to let the science flow!

    I don't think you can use this particular item for an example of Backslash's intelligence and here is why. On Wed. I was talking with my ex about her physics class, she is currently taking a college physics class, and what to my suprise does she mention the instructor went over? You guessed it, on Monday of last week he went over how boiled water will freeze faster than water that hasn't been boiled and low and behold gave all of the same answers that Backslash had given. So either this is a somewhat common physics problem at the college level or my ex's instructor is Backslash

    Just because someone has had difficulty in finding some particular information on the net that Backslash has given does not imply that he\she\they\it are somehow more intellegent than anyone else on this board.

    backslashh777

    please note, the risk of anthrax does serve a purpose for certain people inside the united states of america and so it is with many other situations, that, on the surface seem to be of a nature that is inconsistant to current technology.

    note if possible: large amounts of money are passed from one place to the other and collected from many to be given to a few. this gives motivation in some for such actions of complicity.

    vacum sterilisation processes have been in use for some time in other areas of industry !

    War... motivation of peace is a highly intelectual pursuit and is not practiced because of the incompatable levels of intellegence.
    the lower the level of intelegence seems to create a larger proberbility and occurance of violence in the human species.
    this is prompted from a point of evolution which has not been correctly balanced with psychology of the basic brain function and thus the parenting of children, coupled with inadequate breeding practices which lead to perpetuation of pollutant dna/genes and has considerable bearing on the propergation of the act of teaching, which is continued in all countrys in the world to some, if only small, amount.
    the physical health and then the psychological health are specifically related to this cycle of damage to the species.

    Are you implying that the release of Anthrax has been brought about by individuals who are not related to the Taliban, but are in fact related to the United States Government?

    And are you implying that those who war amongst themselves are less intelligent than those that don't?

    If so, then I disagree.

    First, I would challenge you to find any race on the planet that has not committed some act of war on another member of the human race at some time in their history. This would imply that the vast majority of the human race is not intelligent by your definition....which after a second thought I might agree with on general principle for some component of the population of the planet, but not for all. Also, are you confusing knowledge with intelligence? Are the people in Afgahnastan less intelligent than you and if you believe that, how did you arrive at that conclusion?

    Second, a very sound arguement could be made that war is the ultimate in evolutionary processes because the stupid don't tend to survive long.

    the genral operation of the afganistan family unit may well be superior to some western cultures in some respects but
    to use torture against prisoners for no intelegence gain is mearly sadism.
    genocide has been practiced by many people and is a growth industry for the U.S.A military/weapons (and united kingdom)
    factorys.
    how much oil and gems will be sucked out at a pittence as the wealthy make millions from it and the people doing the job of extraction refinement and distribution will just survive longenough to make thier training cost effective?

    the U.S.A is clearly run by 2 main castes/creeds....christianity and jewdaism.
    U.K seems to be anglican and ... ??? (free mason) ?
    the group psychology of the 2 countrys is...
    U.S.A must WIN at everything and cannot handle losing
    U.K must be at WAR with someone and no-one is better than them.

    these 2 subconseuse level indoctrinations fosterd in child rearing are incompatable to long lasting evolution on a intelectual level.

    they are currently at WAR with a culture not a country!!!

    so there will be no final victory.

    a state of inpending martial law will stop fair and unbiassed elections!!!
    if... of coarse people ACTUALY KNEW what were good qualities in a leader and how to observe them in people.
    IF the Taliban take control of PAKISTAN they will have and almost certainly use NUKES.
    its just a matter of on who and when???

    -CAPITALLISM... why should the victims in the U.S.A expect hand outs when they vote to abolish a social welfare state????
    it just makes them hipocrates!!!
    why should the english expect peace when they seek and foster war(like the usa)
    WHY should the muslim and more particular the Taliban expect
    evolution and thus respect, past the level of cave man when they
    do not regard women as equals to men???

    it is now that they have been attacked as a country that they (the usa) expect people to give them something for free when we all know that like most if not all western stlye countrys they will be selling such donations for a profit out the back door.
    ....regardless of thier stated religion.

    WE DOOM OURSELFS TO BE NOTHING MORE THAN A resource pool TO OTHER races , until we atleast treat our selfs as equals.
    we probably have a big sign on the other side of the moon saying

    Billions, the caspian sea oil market might just be enough to pay of America's world debt, mabey.

    USA must win at everything lololololololol so true.
    We (the British) dont need to be at war, but i would wager that the American air force navy and army are better equiped better prepeared and better funded then there british counterparts.
    But we have the best speical forces on earth, our SAS and SBS are the most highly trained special forces on the planet, thats why they get used an awful lot.

    Il assume your talking America and not Afganistan, like those last elections wernt rigged?
    The whole florida thing was a joke, i mean how hard is it to count up some votes?
    Thankfully our elections dont get rigged

    The Taliban are not in a possition to "take control" of pakistan, although come next elections if a Taliban like party ran it would proberbly get elected the people of pakistan can see what is happening in the world and you cant blame them for not liking it.

    Because the attacks of 9/11 were a terrorist act, the social welfare state is there to ensure things like unemployment benifit, medical health care and other such things, it isnt there to help survivors of a terrorist attack.

    What do they expect us to give them for free?
    You cant seriously expect UK forces to be helping out and when all that oil money comes in we wont be cashing in on it too.
    I think any money raised for the victems of 9/11 will go to the victems of 9/11 as it should, poor bastards deserve more money then we could ever afford to give :/.

    I have a mate from Aus and he tells me that everyone from New Zeland is a sheep farmer, is that correct?
