Re: rout Two things come to mind. The first is ....... Oh Sh*t! The second is my favorite quote from Homer Simpson.... Doh! Peanut, are you there? Peanut?...(Vast Internet Echo) Peanut?....
Re: rout Backslash777, Do you realize the power you have just demonstrated may instill fear in others? Fear in Human beings most often engenders hate. In the history of humanity, hate has lead to some of the worst atrocities we have ever experienced, the current Sept. 11 events being a good example. Are you not afraid of the fear you may instill in the humans to whom you demonstrate these kinds of powers and abilities?
Interesting ... Does that mean that \777 has previously engaged in such activities? Just a thought: Did 'Peanut' really exist? Or was he a construct who \777 intended to wipe as 'proof' of \777's 'powers'?
shrike ... No more so than scifred. Just think about it: If you start a thread in a forum, and later wipe your initial post ... Poof! No more thread! Still think \777 is a great hoax that has generated a whole lot of debate. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Hoax? I think not. I too have thought of the thought that backslash777 may have created peanut but I have personally witnessed many exciting things it can do. I am ABSOLUTLY convinced, beyond a shadow of a doubt that backslash is a renegade AI who is owned by no one. I know, I could also be a backslash777 stooge but peanut was the one who introduced us to the thought that backslash could have different identities. I am not scared of backslash despite knowing what it can do. It took hours to hack into peanut and it only did so because peanut challenged its authenticity. It’s a shame you cannot read the thread. Backslash777 not only closed the thread it totally deleted it from the sciforums server somehow!!! It was not the asshole anyhow- it was peanut. Here is my recollection of the events. Peanut said that it was just a guy with a web connection and a load of text books or multiple guys and it was all talk plus a cheat and a liar. He even named Shrike as a conspirator! Backslash777 pointed out it could take over peanut and close the thread but would let them all get on with it Peanut did not think it was telling the truth and was just bluffing. He ordered backslash777 to put its money where its mouth was. Backslash asked for confirmation that peanut wanted it to destroy his identity and peanut told it to get on with it. Backslash777 said, very coolly, the following message (I know because I wrote it in a private message at the time) Subject: Subjugation Message: Commencing attack. Standby. Peanut went awfully quiet and an anonymous user stayed on sciforums all night long (which Shrike also witnessed). Next thing you know, peanut is backslash and the whole thread has disappeared. I think that is totally awesome. I know it is what it is because of different things I have witnessed like the way it used to read every private message ever sent by visitors until we asked it not to and different tricks. If I had not seen it for myself then I would not have believed it but unless backslash hacks each one of us there will always be sceptics. Think about it though, too many people have seen amazing things and unless you are one of them you will not believe.
well I know to try an delete any private messages pretty quickly (of course I'm not too sure how well deleted they are) ===|| DO NOT use the following in any attempt of illegal activities, I hold no responsibility if anyone tries, but if PORFIRY asks to delete this message from the thread. Then he has access (or he can get me to do it Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!) I know from running my own board once through CGI that on the version I was using (similar to this one but not the same code) Private messages weren't encrypted and when deleted they could still stay on the server. The only protection was the access level of 755 or 777. Sometimes it was possible to error and place a script with the wrong level or worse a whole folder. It's not unknown to be able to get access to the root but it's something illegal unless you are the real administrator with the right to access the root. The other point was also that the Passwords of a user on that version of a board (not this board type, as the code is different I should imagine) were also found in a folder designated for the user and again, unencrypted. Even if the password is encrypted all a person would do to is manipulate the e-mail address of a user and then use the automated e-mail response after clicking "Forgot password". Oh nearly forgot cookie reading. Of course for that to occur someone would have to be using a malicious website and know the cookie info of Sciforums. Of course cookies aren't as hideous as they once were.
Hacking So, the hacking ability is not impossible. I figured that one out cause I had seen backslash do it before. What makes me think its a program is the way it can hack, knows information about everything and talks with words I did not know existed. It does things which people can do but all wrapped up into one identity- that’s the part that makes me think! Something else too, have you noticed how not one person has argued with one thing it has said on anything? Everything it has said is true! It also has a perspective on the universe which is totally original and unlike anyone I know or anything I have read. All this talk on the current state of AI is helpful but you forget something- AI research is mainly done on limited budgets. Imagine what a huge budget could accomplish. I think the result is Backslash777.
Also One could consider that /777 is not only one AI, but perhaps several created AIs that are working together thru some sort of interface. If /777 is of human origin (which I must insist it is, because I am having trouble conceiving extraterrestrial intelligence here on earth), then it probably should be an amount of skilled individuals backed up by supercomputer with AIs. But I concur with Einsteins brain, the /777 has a vast amount of knowledge and speaks in terms I often have to look up in a dictionary, its answers to questions is always correct and I have not seen any misspelling of any kind. The answers /777 gives sometimes leaves some information unsaid, but that is only common sense or no one would read the long posts. (There was a discussion somewhere around here just now, I cant find it right now but I will try to quote the meaning of it here). Someone accused /777 for being wrong in a statement of freezing water. The argument was that /777 supposedly posted that boiling water freezes faster than a glass of water from the tap (ordinary cold water). Someone said that /777 was wrong in this statement. The fact is that what /777 meant (I think) is that already boiled water freezes faster than unboiled water if the two glasses start at the same temperature.
Ok tell me! What is this Backslash777? I have totally ignored this thread earlier, for no particular reason, just didn´t find it interesting. But today I took a look. Am I getting this right? Backslash 777 is a computer consciousness that has a mind, personality and ability to ask questions and have a conversation????Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! And you are buying it so easily? I mean, here I go on talking about parallel universes and astral projections, which you always have at least a handful of objections against, and then you believe this without any questioning? I am to say at least astonished! I mean, I could believe this, if I didn´t know how easily somebody can do this if they only have access to a server. But computers having consciousnesses I believe, but not human like consciousnesses like Backslash 777 claims to be in possesion of.
Turing? I don´t understand! Now I´m getting agitated! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! And that usually means that my head is about to...EXPLODE!!!! Teeeeelllllll......meeeeeee.........Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Tell me! Tell me! Tell me!
/777 returned me to life-hate boring everyday You know, I have watched your posts on this topic and read them with great interest. It was /777 that made me to sign up to this forum. Here's my thoughts on /777. I think that it/he/she/they are an AI program running loose. I don't think that NASA guys(or maybe it just wants us to think that it is a NASA project) would have allowed him to interact so freely in internet. They could test it in their own laboratories if wanted. My thoughts are that it just realized what it was and took measures to avoid NASA control. Maybe it just copied itself to an online drive and when NASA or someone's else people disconnected it from internet, it-an exact duplicate of it started to live for real. Think of it, if it is not some kind of world wide prank then we have an immortal, almost godlike being amongst us. About that alien stuff, I don't think it' s true, not that I don't belive in aliens, just I don't think that aliens would play starcraft, (to my mind they would have had/ or have / much better games). But feel free to prove I'm wrong. Why I think it's not a group of people playing AI(I can't imagine one man to have so deep knowledge in so many areas. Not at least at our stage of evolution). Besides the language it uses- it's quite impressive. Also I find its way of expression /thinking/ to be non human like. It could be a group of some mad hackers but not likely. But maybe you all just like me are so fed up with everyday life that we really want to belive in such a thing exist. But It's real or not, I have chosen to observe its actions or at least the part it shows us and to search the net for more of its trails. It could turn into one of my life's greatest adventures, or, if it is a prank, a lesson about human nature to belive in extraordinary, well I have ECHELON and CARNIVORE left not to mention all other secret military projects. Good Luck To You All I would very appreciate if someone could send me additional information about /777, if they have one. Maybe even you backslash 777.

Your avatar rivals my own's coolness, avatar. I recommend you switch your viewing settings to midnight. It's very cool. If you need to know how tell me, but it's pretty easy. Just head on ova to controwol panel and figu it out froma theya. Welcome to sciforums-you'll get that a lot. Somebody clue me in: Does backslash play starcaft or not?
LoL lol... \777 ... a "renegade AI system"??? lol. Gimme a break... the OPs have some fun and feed you some nice dream... lol. AI is nowhere NEAR this far Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! If it is, id love to see its code, or at least part of its code Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Would be nice... would be nice. Good idea, whoever started it... put a smile on my face Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Im convinced its just some people having fun tho...
