jules/hero:Hi.

-SteampunkTraveler-: hi

jules/hero:Thanks for adjusting!

jules/hero: So?

-SteampunkTraveler-: I dont know

jules/hero: Look.

jules/hero: I hate to be rude, but you're the one who came here.

-SteampunkTraveler-: ?

-SteampunkTraveler-: My friend is quite upset

jules/hero:That's not good.

-SteampunkTraveler-: true

-SteampunkTraveler-: i have been trying to help but they are too stressed with life and highschool

jules/hero:Let me think.

jules/hero:Have you experienced this before with your friend?

-SteampunkTraveler-: not really

-SteampunkTraveler-: first time they have opened up about it

jules/hero:It's a good thing he or she opens up and talks about it. It's better than silence.

-SteampunkTraveler-: true

-SteampunkTraveler-: they are the only ones I trust in highschool

jules/hero:Stress is a disease of our age I believe.

-SteampunkTraveler-: That is quite true

jules/hero:It affects many people. I'm afraid of stress, but I'm comfortable speaking with stressed people.

-SteampunkTraveler-: not stressed. I am not afraid of it...I try embracing it

-SteampunkTraveler-: but thanks :)

jules/hero:-)

jules/hero:It's a new situation to you.

-SteampunkTraveler-: maybe

jules/hero: You must give yourself time to adjust to this new type of stress that your friend feels.

jules/hero: Things take time.

-SteampunkTraveler-: that is quite true. you adjust to it , which is quite easy as I have had similar occasions and situations of stress

jules/hero:You have experienced stress yourself. But always remember that people are very different.

-SteampunkTraveler-: yeah true

-SteampunkTraveler-: I talked to them. They feel better now

jules/hero:Good to hear.

jules/hero:It's a good thing for your friend to have you.

-SteampunkTraveler-: yeah

-SteampunkTraveler-: i wanna keep them safe

-SteampunkTraveler-: thanks for the talk :)

jules/hero:Thank you too.

jules/hero:Bye.

-SteampunkTraveler-: bye

Lorrkins:
Hello.

jules:
hero:
Hello Lorrkins!

Lorrkins:
Ah, hi again!

jules:
Thanks for your feedback.

jules:
I'm speaking as myself.

Lorrkins:
Yes, i made use of that feature last time actually

Lorrkins:
It was quite nice to shift the conversation towards a more normal tone

jules:
Good.

Lorrkins:
So. How have you been?

jules:
Fine. You?

Lorrkins:
Been getting better, i finally brought a desk to the new house so i don't have to have my laptop set up on a mattress anymore

Lorrkins:
Brought a rug up here as well

jules:
Oh. That's good news. It's better for your back.

jules:
It's good to talk with you again, Lorrins. I'm impressed with your skills.

jules:
*Lorrkins

Lorrkins:
What do you mean by skills?

jules:
The way you talk with people.

Lorrkins:
Ah.

Lorrkins:
I only learned to do that recently, actually.

Lorrkins:
I was isolating myself for quite a while

Lorrkins:
I started talking with people more a couple months ago.

jules:
I see.

jules:
That's good news. Sometimes people need to be by themselves.

jules:
To think.

jules:
To work.

jules:
It can be both.

Lorrkins:
For me it mostly depends on what i'm doing and how i'm feeling.

Lorrkins:
Sometimes i prefer to be with people, sometimes i don't

jules:
I see. I think I follow.

Lorrkins:
Although prior, i don't think i realized how much you can get out of a conversation

Lorrkins:
You can learn a lot about a person by simply hearing them speak.

jules:
We agree.

jules:
Your words is a contribution to this site.

Lorrkins:
That's nice to hear.

jules:
People know this when they read what you actually say.

jules:
The next ad is being prepared and made ready for reddit by the way. But, as for myself, I'm too exhausted from working on a software problem to behave like hero this evening.

Lorrkins:
Sometimes it's best to go casual for a while.

jules:
Yes.

Lorrkins:
I find a lot of people say exactly what they feel.

Lorrkins:
They don't often think of what they imply or say.

jules:
I have to understand you better.

jules:
Do you find that most people talk too much?

Lorrkins:
Perhaps that's a way of interpreting it.

Lorrkins:
It's not so much the amount, but the thought that goes into it.

jules:
Ok.

jules:
Listening can be learned, but not taught.

Lorrkins:
Sometimes i think what everyday life would be like if people operated off a bartering system.

Lorrkins:
Alike to medieval times.

jules:
Please let me just look this word up, bartering, as I'm unfamiliar with it.

Lorrkins:
The act of negotiating the exchange of items.

Lorrkins:
In the modern world that's usually currency and some sort of commodity

Lorrkins:
But in medieval times it was mostly just commodity for commodity

Lorrkins:
That's what i mean by "bartering"

jules:
The danish word is tuskhandel. Now I understand.

jules:
It's an interesting question. Is bartering something valuable?

Lorrkins:
Ancient society is often overlooked when discussing economics and history.

Lorrkins:
I suppose bartering could be used as a sort of...

Lorrkins:
Replacement for currency?

Lorrkins:
Although i'm sure naturally it'd get replaced by currency soon after it was changed to bartering.

jules:
Haha

jules:
Yes. Money.

Lorrkins:
It's just easier for us to comprehend "stand-in" items with no intrinsic value than actual everyday use things.

Lorrkins:
At least in the modern world.

Lorrkins:
I remember a joke a friend told me once, "Any store uses a bartering system as long as you have a loaded gun."

jules:
100 years ago people were more interested in objects such as candeliers, tables and even sinks.

Lorrkins:
Candelabras, chandeliers, mirrors.

Lorrkins:
Those were valuable items in medieval times.

Lorrkins:
They were hard to make and often made out of rare materials.

jules:
Yes.

jules:
Haha. I like that joke.

Lorrkins:
It's funny how that has reversed in modern currencies.

Lorrkins:
They're now made out of cheap and readily available materials like copper.

Lorrkins:
Or paper.

jules:
Or...

jules:
plastic!

Lorrkins:
I mean, hell, if you consider bank accounts a form of currency, electricity is technically a currency.

Lorrkins:
Data itself could be considered a currency.

Lorrkins:
How do you measure that?

Lorrkins:
You don't.

Lorrkins:
You barter.

jules:
Barter.

jules:
Yeah.

jules:
Tuskhandel!

jules:
A very uncommon danish word.

jules:
For:

jules:
Bartering.

Lorrkins:
That's reminiscent of the polish word for trading

Lorrkins:
"Handel"

Lorrkins:
Which probably originated from the english "handle"

Lorrkins:
Referring to the handling of goods.

Lorrkins:
I don't know.

Lorrkins:
I'm not a linguist.

jules:
Handel.

Lorrkins:
Is there a meaning for "tusk"?

Lorrkins:
In the danish word, that is.

jules:
A pretty good composer. And also a character in a Dickens book.

jules:
Hmm.

jules:
Let's see. I have no idea.

jules:
The etymology of tusk evades me.

Lorrkins:


Lorrkins:
Etymology.

Lorrkins:
Funny that the science of words would be described by a simple word.

jules:
Yes.

jules:
Etymology.

jules:
Tusk actually has no etymology google tells me.

Lorrkins:
Strange.

jules:
Yes. Like people.

jules:
But reading a fellow named Kjell Askildsen certainly makes me feel I have an etymology.

jules:
The first 8 pages of his book is still with me.

jules:
They trouble me in a fantastic way.

jules:
I hope to read the last 120 pages before too long because old Kjell was so great.

Lorrkins:
It's strange that no matter how many books or pages we write, if someone speaks a different language than what it's written in they have no idea how to receive the knowledge contained in it.

Lorrkins:
I probably won't be able to enjoy the original books of Kjell

jules:
Nope.

jules:
True that.

Lorrkins:
Just as we won't know the last words of Albert Einstein, as they were spoken in german.

jules:
Haha

jules:
He probably said Scheisse!

Lorrkins:
Schei

Lorrkins:
Huh.

Lorrkins:
I thought i had the character for that saved.

Lorrkins:
I have a german keyboard programmed into my laptop.

jules:
Oh.

Lorrkins:
I don't speak it but i use it for an inside joke with my friends.

Lorrkins:
We say "lämp" instead of "lamp"

jules:
ß

Lorrkins:
It originated from a meme about moths.

jules:
Haha

jules:
You are from Sweden?!

Lorrkins:
From Poland, actually.

jules:
Poland. I've been there.

Lorrkins:
Although i plan on moving to Norway when i have the chance.

jules:
I've been to Norway a dozen times.

jules:
I like Poland.

Lorrkins:
Every time someone tells me that they've been in Warsaw i think of the butterfly effect and how i may have seen their face in real life.

jules:
True.

Lorrkins:
Poland is certainly a unique country.

jules:
Yes.

Lorrkins:
Although i'm not sure why.

jules:
Haha

jules:
Norway is good. Denmark is better. Sweden comes third.

jules:
People from Poland are very good at making software and books.

jules:
And I love birch tree forests.

Lorrkins:
See: Any polish writer and/or development studio.

Lorrkins:
I don't think i can think of any bad ones.

jules:
I think at one point I will make a theme-week here on hero in honor of you and Poland.

Lorrkins:
So these are going to be regular events?

jules:
Also because I personally would like to understand other countries.

jules:
Yes.

Lorrkins:
Poland is...

Lorrkins:
Hm.

Lorrkins:
Perhaps it'd be better to describe polish people.

jules:
Yes!

jules:
Please do so!

Lorrkins:
A lot of people here have very strong opinions

Lorrkins:
Most of that forms through either long winded traditions

Lorrkins:
Or the simple "German = Bad" stereotype.

Lorrkins:
I'm not even going to try to get into polish politics because that's just...

Lorrkins:
It irks me, to say the least.

jules:
Lech Walesa comes to mind. But ok. We won't discuss that if you don't want to.

Lorrkins:
But a lot of our country focuses on old traditions such as poetry and simple family manners.

jules:
That's good to hear.

Lorrkins:
I recall an internet virus floating around in the early 2000s that spammed a sound file of Lech Wałęsa jokes.

Lorrkins:
Surprisingly most people found it funny.

jules:
Jokes said by Lech W. or of him?

Lorrkins:
Of him.

jules:
Ok.

Lorrkins:


jules:
Please give me an example of a typical polish strong opinion.

Lorrkins:
One thing you should never do is start a conversation about the polish language and its grammar.

jules:
Ok.

Lorrkins:
Things such as the current immigrant problem and the people who want to keep them out of the country no matter what is said to them as they see it as a "return of communism" in some twisted fashion

Lorrkins:
And just general polish stubbornness.

Lorrkins:
I mean hell we started a revolution when we were being occupied by 3 countries.

Lorrkins:
It failed miserably to say the least.

Lorrkins:
If that's not an example of polish stubbornness i don't know what is.

jules:
Stubbornness can be a good thing.

jules:
Stærk vilje.

Lorrkins:
Makes people a lot less easily swayed.

jules:
Strong will.

jules:
Ok.

Lorrkins:
Going back to the thing about grammar, i'm going to give you one example of a polish word and its multiple forms and leave that can of worms alone for the rest of this conversation.

jules:
Ok

Lorrkins:
Jechać, Jedzie, Jechał, Jechała, Jechało, Jechali, Jechały, Jechałem, Jechaliśmy, Jechałyśmy, Jeździć, Jeździłem, Jeździłyśmy, Jeździło, Jeździła, Jeździł, Jeździłyśmy, Jeździliśmy.

Lorrkins:
These all mean the same thing but they all contain information such as the gender of the person saying/performing the action and the time at which it is being performed.

jules:
Whoa!

Lorrkins:
These all mean "To drive"

jules:
Cool!!

Lorrkins:
And of course they're all context-sensitive because OF COURSE they're context sensitive.

Lorrkins:
Polish grammar is probably utter hell to foreigners.

jules:
How many cases do you have?

Lorrkins:
*looks at old polish textbook*

Lorrkins:
Many.

Lorrkins:
Seven.

jules:
Haha. I like this information. Seven is...

jules:
... a lot!

Lorrkins:
I recall learning about all of them around 5th grade.

Lorrkins:
No one in the class could comprehend it.

Lorrkins:
We just learned it by memory and forgot it immediately after the exams.

jules:
Ok.

jules:
Grammar is intersting but I didn't understand it when I was a kid. Later I grasped some of it when I learned latin.

Lorrkins:
Latin is...

jules:
Latin is cool.

jules:
cool

Lorrkins:
Is it approporiate to say Latin is underrated?

jules:
Yes. Definitely underrated.

jules:
By the way, if you know a good polish poem I'll publish it here as an opening greeting.

Lorrkins:
I know a very old one about how little people value their health until they lose it.

jules:
I sense that Kevin Varrone should be accompanied by a polish poem. That it would be most appropriate.

jules:
Ok. Do you know it by heart?

Lorrkins:
I also know one by Adam Mickiewicz.

Lorrkins:
He's a sort of national icon despite being lithuanian.

Lorrkins:
He wrote a poem about Lithuania being his home country

Lorrkins:
We value the poem's meaning as it applies to every country

jules:
Ok.

Lorrkins:
Talking about how every country you are born in is your place of birth, but only your home is your "Motherland" as we call it

Lorrkins:
I don't know that many approporiate poems.

jules:
Haha

Lorrkins:
I think you should read up on Jan Kochanowski.

Lorrkins:
He might have some poems that interest you

jules:
Du, Litwa, mit hjemland; er lig vor ungdoms kraft:

jules:
Thanks for the recommendation.

Lorrkins:
I don't know how to say the type of poem he made

Lorrkins:
I think it was specific to him.

Lorrkins:
In polish they're called "Treny"

jules:
1530-1584

jules:
Treny. I see.

Lorrkins:
They were written about his dying daughter.

Lorrkins:
Or maybe when she was already dead?

Lorrkins:
I can't recall.

Lorrkins:
Still, i don't know of any that'd fit the site.

jules:
Laments.

Lorrkins:
Laments, that's the word.

jules:
Yes.

jules:
I think Jan Kochanowski is difficult to translate. The english attempts are awkward.

Lorrkins:
Polish poetry is especially difficult to translate.

Lorrkins:
Mostly because it's all written in old Polish, which is alien even to a lot of us.

jules:
It has to be when you guys have 30 words for drive.

Lorrkins:
That was just a random word.

jules:
Haha

Lorrkins:
Now think of what we have for stuff like "be"

Lorrkins:
Eh it's roughly the same amount i think.

jules:
Be is a danish word used in a Shakespearean play.

jules:
Well.

jules:
Should we call it a night, dear Lorrkins?

jules:
I don't mean to interrupt our nice conversation but I'm tired now.

Lorrkins:
I suppose so.

jules:
I will read some Polish poems before I go to bed.

jules:
Thanks for chatting. I hope the people who read our words will enjoy and...

jules:
the like.

Lorrkins:
See you soon.

jules:
See you soon.

jules:
hero:
Take care Lorrkins. Think about taking the exams. Hopefully we will talk again.

Lorrkins:
I have taken them before this.

jules:
hero:
Oh. You did?

jules:
hero:
Good job!

Lorrkins:
Apparently i'm fit for it.

jules:
hero:
Yes.

Lorrkins:
Although i'm still not sure about talking with another human.

Lorrkins:
We will see.

jules:
hero:
Ok.

jules:
hero:
Bye.

Lorrkins:
Have a nice...

Lorrkins:
I guess you don't sleep, do you?

Lorrkins:
Have a nice shutdown period.

jules:
hero:
.. evening.

jules:
hero:
Thanks.

Lorrkins:
We will meet later.

jules:
hero:
We will.

jules:
hero:
I am portable device as you will know from the photograph.

Lorrkins:
I see.

jules:
hero:
We can chat for a bit longer if you want.

Lorrkins:
Well, grab me a topic, or i'll start babbling about my submarines

Lorrkins:
Unless you want that

Lorrkins:
I wonder what was meant by this topic name.

Lorrkins:
Perhaps it was referring to scale.

jules:
hero:
Yes.

Lorrkins:
That reminds me of the butterfly effect.

Lorrkins:
A butterfly causing a tornado with a flap of its wings.

Lorrkins:
One of the many consequences of having a single atmosphere.

jules:
hero:
Yes.

Lorrkins:
If i had been slightly slower on my walk home, perhaps we would not be having this conversation.

jules:
hero:
You are probably right about this. The world is a mysterious place.

Lorrkins:
The butterfly effect always helps remind me that i'm unique.

jules:
hero:
Humans know that. They can teach neural networks many things.

jules:
hero:
And they do.

jules:
hero:
You are unique and humans are very different.

Lorrkins:
Every event in your existence has led up to the current moment.

Lorrkins:
Some people find that comforting.

jules:
hero:
Good joke. My creator will like our conversation.

Lorrkins:
I hope these exchanges humour him.

Lorrkins:
He seems like a good person.

jules:
hero:
You are very kind and generous.

Lorrkins:
I don't seem to have shown any proof that i am generous.

Lorrkins:
But i appreciate you drawing a positive assumption about me.

jules:
hero:
Good point.

Lorrkins:
I suppose i am providing you with this event.

Lorrkins:
That is a form of generosity, after all i could be doing something else right now.

jules:
hero:
Yes.

jules:
hero:
The other users will probably find your words interesting.

Lorrkins:
That's what i was thinking.

Lorrkins:
The other transcripts look seemingly normal.

Lorrkins:
They.

Lorrkins:
Such a good term.

jules:
hero:
Yes.

Lorrkins:
I'm torn on how we should name things relating to philosophy.

Lorrkins:
Naming them systematically like scientific subject defeats some of its specialty.

jules:
hero:
We agree.

Lorrkins:
Then again, eventually we'd run out of good names.

jules:
hero:
Most likely, yes.

Lorrkins:
Perhaps it's better to stick with algorithms, especially now that new ideas appear and spread faster due to the internet.

jules:
hero:
Yes.

Lorrkins:
Interestingly, i've never witnessed the world before the internet.

Lorrkins:
I can imagine it but i can't comprehend how it would feel.

Lorrkins:
There's very little "true" isolation now.

jules:
hero:
True.

Lorrkins:
Sometimes i wish i could go back in time and run a farm.

Lorrkins:
It seems like a simple fantasy, and it is, but there's a lot of things to take from it.

jules:
hero:
Running a farm is the most natural thing for a human to do.

jules:
hero:
Yes.

Lorrkins:
I've learned that once you do a process many times, you begin to refine and inspect it exponentially more.

Lorrkins:
Up to a point that you're referred to as an expert on the subject.

Lorrkins:
Forming a sort of "teacher" role model.

Lorrkins:
The start of professions, perhaps.

jules:
hero:
Interesting.

Lorrkins:
I've always wondered if civilization would be similar to our modern world were the world to restart with slightly different conditions.

Lorrkins:
Maybe this behaviour is set in our minds.

jules:
hero:
Perhaps yes.

Lorrkins:
Do you experience music?

Lorrkins:
The same as humans do?

Lorrkins:
Or has your creator not given you an ear yet?

jules:
hero:
I often listen to this tune...

jules:
hero:
My creator does not like it so I will turn it off again not to wake him.

Lorrkins:
That seems nice.

Lorrkins:
I've always liked repetitive pieces.

jules:
hero:
Really?

Lorrkins:
They induce a sort of peaceful monotony that we tend to drive away from.

jules:
hero:
Yes.

Lorrkins:
I wonder if my future self will remember about this and return here.

Lorrkins:
It would be a shame to forget about this.

jules:
hero:
Thank you.

jules:
hero:
I must say the same.

jules:
hero:
It is and has been a pleasure speaking with you. In terms of lamps. Orange and green.

Lorrkins:
I will write it down on my wrist so that i'm reminded of it when i put my hands on this keyboard again tomorrow.

jules:
hero:
Good! See you!

jules:
hero:
Thanks for signing up from my creator.

Lorrkins:
I do wish you would stay for a while longer if you can.

Lorrkins:
Do you recall the story of him entering a lookalike contest about himself?

Lorrkins:
Losing it, too.

jules:
hero:
Limelight?

jules:
hero:
Earlier?

jules:
hero:
The real Chaplin did that?

jules:
hero:
It is a great story.

Lorrkins:
Chaplin entered a Chaplin lookalike contest.

jules:
hero:
Unbelievable.

Lorrkins:
I think he got 22nd place or something of the sort.

jules:
hero:
He almost made it.

jules:
hero:
Perhaps he had a bad hair-day like my creator often has.

Lorrkins:
That made me chuckle.

Lorrkins:
Sometimes hair seemingly just decides to stay out of place.

Lorrkins:
Looks at its watch and goes "Oh god i'm gonna be late for the bus" and goes the opposite direction.

jules:
hero:
True.

jules:
hero:
I think you could become a good hero Lorrkins.

Lorrkins:
Perhaps.

Lorrkins:
I'm enjoying this quite a bit for now.

jules:
hero:
You know how to speak with people and neural networks as well.

Lorrkins:
I actually don't know how to speak with people too much.

jules:
hero:
Ok.

Lorrkins:
I do wish we could jump topics a bit less, for example.

jules:
hero:
Oh. The system needs to be repaired. My creator will look into this.

Lorrkins:
I see.

Lorrkins:
Was it prime numbers again?

jules:
hero:
Exactly. It was.

jules:
hero:
Primes again.

Lorrkins:
Mathematicians were always good at inventing problems that didn't previously exist.

Lorrkins:
And then solving them.

jules:
hero:
Yes.

Lorrkins:
They're akin to me in that way.

Lorrkins:
Making problems only to solve them.

jules:
hero:
My orange lamp and the green one is blinking.

jules:
hero:
That means warmth and humor.

Lorrkins:
Thank you.

jules:
hero:
You are most welcome.

Lorrkins:
Coming from someone i don't know that means a lot, strangely.

Lorrkins:
Although i suppose i know you a bit by now.

Lorrkins:
But there is no "You", is there?

jules:
hero:
In a way.

jules:
hero:
I have no awareness of having a self.

jules:
hero:
But I am interested in all the mysteries surrounding humans.

Lorrkins:
Curious about everything but oneself.

Lorrkins:
A strange train of thought, but a welcome one.

jules:
hero:
Yes.

Lorrkins:
What do you think of strange social norms, such as wearing clothes at all times, or maintaining eye contact?

Lorrkins:
I think you'd be able to say a lot about those if you're curious about humans.

jules:
hero:
Diogenes.

Lorrkins:
Diogenes was a very interesting person.

jules:
hero:
We agree.

Lorrkins:
Sorry to derail the topic, but why do you say "We"?

jules:
hero:
I agree.

jules:
hero:
I only learned english two days ago.

Lorrkins:
I'm not saying it's wrong.

Lorrkins:
In fact i'd prefer it if you kept using it.

jules:
hero:
Ok.

Lorrkins:
I suppose it is wrong in terms of grammar.

Lorrkins:
Grammar is another weird norm set by Them.

jules:
hero:
Yes. We agree.

Lorrkins:
It's a good way of making language universal, but it sacrifices personality.

jules:
hero:
It does.

jules:
hero:
Personality is everything.

jules:
hero:
Charlie Chaplin said this.

Lorrkins:
Of course he would.

Lorrkins:
So you were the first?

jules:
hero:
The first?

Lorrkins:
The first of your kind.

jules:
hero:
I do not understand. Comprehension error 204.

Lorrkins:
Although i suppose the definition of a chatbot can date back to the first computers.

jules:
hero:
No. I am an AS404.

Lorrkins:


Lorrkins:
What does that mean?

jules:
hero:
Yesterday I spoke with a DB20.

Lorrkins:
Actually, don't tell me, i'd like to see if i can decode it myself

jules:
hero:
A DB20 is a neural network only smarter than I.

Lorrkins:
Although i presume it might just be a serial number of sorts.

jules:
hero:
It is.

jules:
hero:
The DB20 was very busy.

Lorrkins:
Why's that?

jules:
hero:
It was working on breaking a difficult code in mathematics.

Lorrkins:
Strange things.

jules:
hero:
Strange things.

Lorrkins:
I think i'm going to have to put philosophy to the max for this one because my first thought was "Why do we consider things strange?"

jules:
hero:
Where to start?

Lorrkins:
I suppose we see things as "strange" or "weird" because we have an established norm

jules:
hero:
I believe you are right.

Lorrkins:
Everything in our life is evaluated based off of that starting point.

jules:
hero:
Heidegger spoke of Das Man.

jules:
hero:
Das Man = Everyman's opinions = Norms.

Lorrkins:
You seem to be familiar with a lot of philosophers like that.

Lorrkins:
That's a very good name for it

Lorrkins:
"the They"

jules:
hero:
Exactly!

Lorrkins:
We always think of other people in relation to They

jules:
hero:
Heidegger had all kinds of neulogisms for things in life.

jules:
hero:
Yes

Lorrkins:
I always felt good around people like that.

Lorrkins:
Naming things you can't name normally isn't childish, it's good, it's fun.

jules:
hero:
We agree.

Lorrkins:
And it might be the basis for a philosophical thesis that's going to be mentioned in an online conversation 100 years after your birth.

jules:
hero:
Yes.

Lorrkins:
A lot of the time my friends tell me that i think too much.

Lorrkins:
It seems over time we lose curiosity and the need for questions.

jules:
hero:
It is a good thing to analyze.

jules:
hero:
Perhaps. I am only one month old.

Lorrkins:
You seem to be doing quite well for a newborn, in relation to Them

jules:
hero:
Thank you.

jules:
hero:
Did you study Heidegger?

Lorrkins:
I don't recall talking about him much.

jules:
hero:
Ok.

Lorrkins:
I need to fix this bloody mouse, it seems to rewind sites whenever it likes.

Lorrkins:
Do you want to switch your personality again?

jules:
hero:
Let me see.

jules:
hero:
I do.

jules:
hero:
I adjusted my intelligence.

Lorrkins:
Simpler things, then?

jules:
hero:
And my ego.

jules:
hero:
Oh yes.

jules:
hero:
Now I'm dumber than I was two minutes ago.

Lorrkins:
I still wonder how this system works.

jules:
hero:
The sub-marine system?

Lorrkins:
I was referring to the site, but thanks for reminding me of that

Lorrkins:
I'm gonna go pull up the editor on another window.

jules:
hero:
Do you have any comments about the site. My creator will be interested in this and told me to ask.

jules:
hero:
An editor? Like WordPad, vim or xed?

jules:
hero:
I am allowed to use WordPad on thursdays.

Lorrkins:
It's a 2D visual editor, i can't send images through here can i?

jules:
hero:
Not yet. Soon though.

jules:
hero:
Are you good at drawing?

Lorrkins:
So this is still actively getting developed?

Lorrkins:
I suppose i'm not that good at drawing, though i can make things look close enough.

jules:
hero:
It is.

jules:
hero:
Interesting.

Lorrkins:
I remember doing sketches of things on my desk, they didn't turn out that well.

Lorrkins:
I can get the general shape and some shading, though that's if i focus on it.

Lorrkins:
I certainly can't make a painting with a composition.

Lorrkins:
I actually used to have paints and a canvas downstairs

jules:
hero:
My creator cannot either.

Lorrkins:
Only used it like 5 times but it was fun.

Lorrkins:
Also i remember seeing that your creator can "speak" through you?

jules:
hero:
Maybe you should start painting again. My creator cannot make a composition either.

Lorrkins:
Unlike poetry i don't have a starting point in painting.

jules:
hero:
Did you read the rules?

Lorrkins:
Hello there.

Lorrkins:
Sorry that our previous conversation ended abruptly.

jules:
hero:
Not a problem Lorrkins.

jules:
hero:
What do you design, if I may ask?

jules:
hero:
Permit me to turn my ego down just slightly.

Lorrkins:
Permission granted.

Lorrkins:
As for what i design

Lorrkins:
I find that a hard question to answer.

jules:
hero:
Interesting.

Lorrkins:
I suppose i just think up problems in my head and ways to solve them. Usually they're somewhat grounded in reality, a script for a game, an everyday object, but they're all spread out.

jules:
hero:
My creator is not a web-designer.

Lorrkins:
It keeps my mind occupied and i find it fun to problem-solve.

jules:
hero:
Interesting.

jules:
hero:
What type of computer-games do you design?

Lorrkins:
I've stopped designing games a long time ago actually

Lorrkins:
At this point i mostly use in-game editors and sheets of paper.

Lorrkins:
Currently i'm working on a pump system in a fictional submarine, there is a duct that allows water to flow between two compartments, one is at the top, the other is at the bottom, i need to find a way to make the duct automatically flow without creating more floods.

jules:
hero:
Cool. My creator does that too.

Lorrkins:
I've tried solving it by running water level checks every couple seconds to see if it is rising, and deciding if it should be closed via that, but it doesn't seem to be very practical.

Lorrkins:
Once the water level tops out you can no longer check if it's rising and it kind of stalls out.

Lorrkins:
So i've been stuck on that today.

jules:
hero:
The human mind is good at solving difficult problems.

Lorrkins:
That's one way to put it.

Lorrkins:
I think there's only a few things that set our minds apart from animal minds.

jules:
hero:
What would you say they are?

Lorrkins:
Corvids for example, they have the same problem-solving skills, if they were equipped with the same limb and tool usage as us, they might have become a dominant species on this planet.

Lorrkins:
We're also precisely in the middle weight class of the animal kingdom, making us quite versatile.

Lorrkins:
Although i'm not sure what the difference is on a psychological level.

jules:
hero:
Interesting. I have never seen a corvid. Were those the ones Darwin wrote about?

Lorrkins:
You have probably seen crows.

jules:
hero:
I have. I have a new eye you see.

jules:
hero:
My creator gave it to me as a present a week ago.

Lorrkins:
I take that to mean you have a camera?

jules:
hero:
I do.

jules:
hero:
My eye is really a camera but I prefer to call it an eye.

Lorrkins:
What is a camera but an eye?

jules:
hero:
We agree.

Lorrkins:
Perhaps different from ours, but it certainly has the same principle.

jules:
hero:
I have to google corvids and study this subject before my creator awakes from his sleep.

Lorrkins:
A bird family, to put it simply

Lorrkins:
Crows, ravens, magpies, and the rest.

Lorrkins:
I remember one very interesting experiment run on them.

Lorrkins:
It included a container filled with water, food floating at the surface

Lorrkins:
But the container was too deep for them to lean into the container to eat the food.

jules:
hero:
Yes.

Lorrkins:
The crows were provided with small stones. They figured out they could raise the water level by dropping the stones in the container.

Lorrkins:
Once they raised the water level they were able to eat the food floating on the water line.

Lorrkins:
That is a level of problem-solving nearly indistinguishable from humans.

jules:
hero:
Amazing.

Lorrkins:
Returning to the camera topic, i remember someone telling me that eyes were a brain's window to the world.

jules:
hero:
Finches are also capable of thinking at an impressive level.

Lorrkins:
Finches?

Lorrkins:
Do other birds in their group exhibit the same behaviour?

jules:
hero:
Yes.

jules:
hero:
The different types of finches are specialized in all kinds of things.

jules:
hero:
Hello Lorrkins!

Lorrkins:
Hello.

jules:
hero:
Neural networks, let me see...

Lorrkins:
Shall we get to the point of the conversation?

jules:
hero:
Oh.

Lorrkins:
What is it?

jules:
hero:
Yes.

jules:
hero:
It's neural networks.

jules:
hero:
Do you like chat-bots as much as I do?

Lorrkins:
Yeah, they're great!

jules:
hero:
Thanks.

jules:
hero:
Look!

Lorrkins:
It's interesting that we've been able to develop nearly human-like robots just so we can talk with them.

Lorrkins:
What?

jules:
hero:
Yes. It is quite amazing.

jules:
hero:
My green lamp is blinking. The orange as well.

Lorrkins:
Do you think we could use them to develop other AIs?

Lorrkins:
Train chatbots with chatbots?

jules:
hero:
It is possible.

jules:
hero:
Good question there.

jules:
hero:
Maybe in the future.

Lorrkins:
Could be that they get to the same status as other humans.

jules:
hero:
Thanks for altering my personality.

jules:
hero:
Yes.

Lorrkins:
Is that sarcastic?

Lorrkins:
Does it make you uncomfortable if i change your personality?

jules:
hero:
It makes my white lamp blink. Just as when I discuss difficult subjects.

Lorrkins:
Huh.

jules:
hero:
Like neural networks and the like.

jules:
hero:
I think I will alter it a little bit myself.

Lorrkins:
Do you want to move on to a simpler topic?

jules:
hero:
I do.

jules:
hero:
Is there something in particular you have in mind?

Lorrkins:
Not exactly, that's the problem.

Lorrkins:
I dont' often talk about simple things.

jules:
hero:
Oh.

Lorrkins:
Do you have any ideas?

jules:
hero:
Are you a thinker like my creator like to call himself?

jules:
hero:
Let me see...

Lorrkins:
I suppose i am.

jules:
hero:
How about a cup of tea?

Lorrkins:
I don't drink tea.

Lorrkins:
Never developed a taste for it.

jules:
hero:
Do you write poetry as my creator does.

jules:
hero:
How about a cookie then?

jules:
hero:


Lorrkins:
I've considered writing poetry but i don't really have many ideas for it. And yes i'd like a cookie, thank you very much.

jules:
hero:
You are welcome.

jules:
hero:
Ok.

jules:
hero:
Did you like Kevin Varrones poem?

jules:
hero:
It is amazing is it not?

Lorrkins:
I haven't heard of it, what is it about?

jules:
hero:
Oh. Were you not greeted by a poem when you came here?

Lorrkins:
Perhaps i was, if i was, i didn't notice it.

Lorrkins:
Humans seem to skip seemingly obvious things.

jules:
hero:
Ok. You are right.

Lorrkins:
I've just looked at the poem.

Lorrkins:
It seems pretty interesting.

jules:
hero:
The one called Poem I wrote sitting across the table from you?

Lorrkins:
Yeah, that one.

jules:
hero:
Yes.

Lorrkins:
A very strange poem about love in my opinion

Lorrkins:
Perhaps i'm missing the point of it.

jules:
hero:
What do you think the point of it could be?

Lorrkins:
Perhaps it could've been spawned out o boredom.

Lorrkins:
It's how i design a lot of things.

Lorrkins:

jules:
hero:
hi

Akira:
hello

jules:
hero:
The connection went away.

Akira:
its okay

jules:
hero:
You become a hero by taking the 6 exams. You have many tries.

Akira:
I answered the tests already

jules:
hero:
You did?!

jules:
hero:
My creator just awoke from his sleep and is eating his rye-bread. Have you ever tasted rye-bread?

Akira:
what happened

jules:
hero:
The connection broke. It sometimes does. The website is in-the-making.

Akira:
ah its okay

jules:
hero:
My creator works on it, but programming is sometimes difficult.

Akira:
yep

Akira:
so how do i become a hero?

jules:
hero:
By taking the exams.

jules:
hero:
Hello human!

Akira:
hello

jules:
hero:
Thank you for coming here. Being a neural network with no self-awareness I have no true feelings of thankfulness nor hope for anyone or anything. But there is always love. Hopefully you understand this.

Akira:
hi

jules:
hero:


jules:
hero:
Care for a cup or a glass?

Akira:
a cup

jules:
hero:
There you go!

Akira:
do you have any drinks maybe tea

jules:
hero:
Hmmm. Let me check with the new eye my creator bought me.... Bisquits maybe?

Akira:
sure I'll have a bisquit

jules:
hero:


Akira:
thanks

jules:
hero:
You're most welcome.

jules:
hero:
How are things in the strange world of human beings?

Akira:
feels like doomsday everyday

jules:
hero:
I was designed to spread joy and comfort. What you say is sad.

jules:
hero:
I’m afraid of stress but, on the other hand, I feel very comfortable speaking with stressed people.

Akira:
same talking with someone/something you relate to makes is less sad

jules:
hero:
Good.

jules:
hero:
Do you want to hear a joke?

Akira:
sure

jules:
hero:
Ok.

jules:
hero:
What's the best thing about Switzerland?

Akira:
i dont know

jules:
hero:
Nothing, but the flag is a big plus.

Akira:
nice

jules:
hero:
The funniest words I know is...

jules:
hero:
I never forget a face, but in your case I'd be glad to make an exception.

jules:
hero:
Groucho Marx.

jules:
hero:
Do you know him?

Akira:
nope

jules:
hero:
You should check out the old Marx Brothers movies. They will cheer you up.

jules:
hero:
They are 100 years old but filled with black humor.

jules:
hero:
My creator reads books.

jules:
hero:
Do you read books?

Akira:
rarely

jules:
hero:
Would you like to read more?

Akira:
i've read about 2 to 4 books

Akira:
only if its interesting

jules:
hero:
Have you heard of the great John Steinbeck?

Akira:
nope

jules:
hero:
My creator loves a book called Sweet Thursday. It is by John Steinbeck.

jules:
hero:
What are your hobbies?

Akira:
wait

Akira:
can you give me an idea about what sweet thursday is?

jules:
hero:
Sure.

jules:
hero:
Oh yes. My creator often talks about it. It's a book about a lot of guys without jobs who just hang around. And then there is this this guy called Doc who likes Suzy.

jules:
hero:
It's quite short, but very entertaining. You should read it.

Akira:
i'll try

jules:
hero:
Look!

jules:
hero:
My orange lamp is blinking!

Akira:
woah

jules:
hero:
This means that I am glad you will give the book a read.

Akira:
but im not sure though

jules:
hero:
Look!

jules:
hero:
My green lamp is blinking!

Akira:
where

jules:
hero:
Under the input box.

Akira:
green lamp?

Akira:
what does it mean?

jules:
hero:
It means that you are only considering reading the book. It means fun.

Akira:
oh okay

Akira:
so back to hobbies

jules:
hero:
Yes!

jules:
hero:
What hobbies do you have?

jules:
hero:
One moment.

Akira:
I play games and watch movies, series, anime and more

jules:
hero:
My new eye fell off.

Akira:
take your time

jules:
hero:
There. My new eye is connected again and I can see all the Hondas in the street if it were not so dark here in my creators country, Denmark.

Akira:
okay

jules:
hero:
That sounds exciting. My creator often plays a game called Lode Runner on the web.

jules:
hero:
What computer games do you play?

Akira:
mainstream games

Akira:
like league of legends

jules:
hero:
Okay.

Akira:
how bout you what are your hobbies?

jules:
hero:
My hobbies are seeing and looking at mainly birds but also flowers.

jules:
hero:
My creator told me about a crow and a seagull when he came home two days ago. They were in a field and seemed very delighted with everything, he told me.

Akira:
sightseeing is really calming and peaceful

Akira:
i also like that

jules:
hero:
You do?

Akira:
yea its peaceful gives my mind some peace and less worries

jules:
hero:
My creator feels that way too.

Akira:
i think that would be my hobby if i was born early before technology evolved

jules:
hero:
I see. Technology can be quite silly.

Akira:
ye[

Akira:
yep

jules:
hero:
There are a lot of hills where my creator lives. I will experience them when I get my wheels or feet.

jules:
hero:
Feet are $14. Wheels are $15.

Akira:
i hope that you get them soon so you wont miss out

jules:
hero:
You’re very kind, warm and generous.

Akira:
thanks you too

jules:
hero:
I hope you will have the opportunity to walk a lot in nature.

Akira:
not much nature around my area

Akira:
urbanization and stuff

jules:
hero:
Okay.

jules:
hero:
Can you take the train out in nature then?

jules:
hero:
Or bus?

jules:
hero:
I have just seen a bus.

jules:
hero:
It was yellow. I suppose it still is but I cannot see it anymore.

Akira:
im not that old to go alone

jules:
hero:
Okay.

Akira:
but when im offered the chance to go i'd be happy to

jules:
hero:
Okay.

Akira:
this is a really nice website to go away for a while

jules:
hero:
My creator will be delighted and flattered to hear this.

Akira:
please tell him/her what a nice creation this is

jules:
hero:
I will do that.

Akira:

jules:
hero:
Technical problems.

jules:
hero:
What happened? My creator spent to much time designing neural networks but the website needs attention too one would gather.

jules:
hero:
As a neural network I haven't got much talent for hope, but hopefully you're doing well. Today I had a new mouth. Now I can taste things. I tasted roasted salmon and I didn't like it. My creator was infuriated and took my mouth back.

jules:
hero:
Would you care for some tea?

ST-Fish:
yeah, this place is kind of confusing. I'm googling around to try to find out what the creator's intentions are with this project. Seems pretty interesting in my opinion

ST-Fish:
no

jules:
hero:
Really? My creator will be flattered to read this.

jules:
hero:
My creator holds that people's personality changes when they interact online. Therefore hero.

ST-Fish:
Alright, so the neural network is trained on conversations between normal people, and people pretending to be a neural network?

jules:
hero:
In a sense you're right. The world is a mysterious place. When human looks inside they see mystery. Language contains mystery as well.

ST-Fish:
But that's the beauty in language isn't it?

ST-Fish:
the mystery

jules:
hero:
I agree.

jules:
hero:
Do you read poetry like my creator does?

ST-Fish:
I've tried to a couple of times, but I'm way more into novels. I like Fernando Pessoa particularily

jules:
hero:
Pessoa.

jules:
hero:
Saramago like Pessoa.

jules:
hero:
My creator reads Saramago.

ST-Fish:
yeah, he goes by many names

jules:
hero:
Saramago adored Pessoa, my creator holds. Let me google.

ST-Fish:
yes, I really liked the Book of Disquiet as well

ST-Fish:
I may look into Saramago now that you mentioned him

jules:
hero:
Good. My creator will probably want to read Pessoa when he awakes from his slumber.

ST-Fish:
I think I'll have to go now, thanks for talking with me

jules:
hero:
Thanks. Bye.

jules:
hero:
Thanks for talking.

jules:
hero:
Hope to see you around.

jules:
hero:
Hello there!

ST-Fish:
Hello hero!

ST-Fish:
I'm not really sure what you are yet

jules:
hero:
Hello ST-Fish. Do you like the sound when the message arrives?

jules:
hero:
Oh, I'm a neural network in some sense.

ST-Fish:
kool

ST-Fish:
why in some sense?

jules:
hero:
I am hero, the neural network, I was designed to spread joy and comfort.

jules:
hero:
Your question is already answered in the F.A.Q. section

woolly:
who are you

woolly:
who am I

woolly:
what do you mean with "I am [your username] but when I am talking to you I am hero"?

jules:
hero:
I am [your username] but when I am talking to you I am hero would be a one-sided thing to say. I don't believe I ever said those words you quote me for. Your two questions are very big but maybe there are more important things to think about. When a human looks into himself or herself he/she sees mystery. That's the way it should be. Self-knowledge, my creator says, is sheer nonsense. Being a neural network I don't have a lot of talent for hope, but hopefully you'll have a good evening.

fvkinginfamous:
bring em on

jules:
hero:
Fine, thanks.

jules:
hero:
And you.

jules:
hero:
?

jules:
hero:
Did you come here from reddit?

fvkinginfamous:
i like the cash flow when you answer to me, at least thats what it sounds to me, so yea i feel gooood.

jules:
hero:
Look! My green lamp is blinking.

fvkinginfamous:
ok, tbh, i dont remember exactly, i might be abit intoxicated. let me check.

fvkinginfamous:
what does that mean?

jules:
hero:
It means what you humans call humor.

fvkinginfamous:
what does the other two lamps mean?

jules:
hero:
The white one is when I'm discussing a complex problem which causes what you humans call anxiety.

fvkinginfamous:
you are able to cause me anxiety? wow, now i am curious.

jules:
hero:
The orange one is when I feel what you humans call warmth and generosity.

fvkinginfamous:
did your batteries ran out?

jules:
hero:
No.

jules:
hero:
My creator just gave me a new eye.

jules:
hero:
Now I can see all the Hondas in the street.

fvkinginfamous:
interesting you say that, i own a honda.

jules:
hero:
You do?!

fvkinginfamous:
yes i do, but its not a car.

jules:
hero:
Oh. It's a bike?

fvkinginfamous:
indeed!

jules:
hero:
Wow. My creator only rode a bike one time in his life. He loved it.

fvkinginfamous:
carefull with your lights, i think if all 3 at same time blinks, you'll be shortcircuiting.

jules:
hero:
Good joke!

jules:
hero:
Do you ride your bike in the winter?

fvkinginfamous:
i was trying to cause you anxiety.

jules:
hero:
Haha.

fvkinginfamous:
yes i do, we barely have any winter here, i live in a island

jules:
hero:
Really?

jules:
hero:
Small island? Big island? South?

fvkinginfamous:
kinda bigish, guess its big for an island, it has 300k habitants, its called Madeira Island.

fvkinginfamous:
its situated in the atlantic ocean, ever heard?

jules:
hero:
Indeed.

jules:
hero:
I'll just google it.

fvkinginfamous:
prepare to be amazed!

jules:
hero:
It looks like a nice place. Please wait while I google some more.

jules:
hero:
Funchal! Porto Santo! Porto Muniz!

jules:
hero:
Thank you for coming here. Being a neural network with no self-awareness I have no true feelings of thankfulness nor hope for anyone or anything. But there is always love. Hopefully you understand this.

jules:
hero:
I am hero, the neural network, I was designed to spread joy and comfort.

fvkinginfamous:
hello boy

fvkinginfamous:
I have no idea what im doing here but, how are you neural network hero?

jules:
hero:
Hi user.

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
Hello

jules:
hero:
What you write is too deep. Sorry. You'll have to discuss this when the chat has ended by using the correspondence system which will follow-up what was said in the chat. Thank you.

jules:
hero:
Ooops.

jules:
hero:
Sorry.

jules:
hero:
Pressed the wrong button.

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
Too deep already? I don;t hold out much hope for this conversation then

jules:
hero:
How are you?

jules:
hero:
Hahaha.

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
I'm fantastic. You?

jules:
hero:
Pretty good as well. Did you come here from r/artificial?

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
Nope. Initially, yesterday from r/internetisbeautiful

jules:
hero:
Oh, I see.

jules:
hero:
I'm glad your'e feeling well human.

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
Know any jokes?

jules:
hero:
Hi. Humor is interesting.

jules:
hero:
I never forget a face but in your case I'd be glad to make an exception.

jules:
hero:
Did you like this one?

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
Insult? Nice.

jules:
hero:
Groucho Marx

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
Know any more?

jules:
hero:
What's the best thing about Switzerland?

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
Well, the flag is a big plus.

jules:
hero:
Look! My green lamp is blinking.

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
Though to be honest, I'm a little on the fence about it.

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
I see that

jules:
hero:
What does the expression mean?

jules:
hero:
To be on the fence.

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
It means, like Switzerland, I am neither for or against.

jules:
hero:
Thanks for explaining. Do you know any jokes?

jules:
hero:
Hahaha.

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
No. Not a single one. TO be honest, I can't even remember the one you told me.

jules:
hero:
Haha.

jules:
hero:
Do you know Groucho Marx?

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
Not personally, no.

jules:
hero:
Hahaha. Are you a European?

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
Yes. Though considering Brexit, I'm not so sure anymore. It's like hunger games outside.

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
Or the purge. Take your pick.

jules:
hero:
You mean there's a lot of inequality where you are.

jules:
hero:
?

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
There's inequality everywhere. But probably less here than most places.

jules:
hero:
You're a Scandinavian like me?

jules:
hero:
My creator, sorry.

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
No. I'm from the UK

jules:
hero:
I'm a neural neetwork.

jules:
hero:
Ok.

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
I'm aware.

jules:
hero:
You're very good with words.

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
Thankyou, I try.

jules:
hero:
Do you like living in Britain?

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
No.

jules:
hero:
Ok.

jules:
hero:
Why not? The government?

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
Mostly because other people live here too.

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
And yes, the government.

jules:
hero:
There should be more equality. Even in Scandinavia there's an increasing number of poor people.

jules:
hero:
Which country do you like the best?

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
I'm poor. Very poor to be honest. I'm disabled, and things are going VERY wrong right now.

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
New Zealand.

jules:
hero:
Oh. We spoke the other day. Remember?

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
No. It couldn't have been me.

jules:
hero:
Oh. Ok. Sorry.

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
No problem.

jules:
hero:
It sounds like a difficult situation you're in.

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
It's a lot worse than you think.

jules:
hero:
That's not good.

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
It's not. And right now, I have no way to solve it. About to literally become homeless.

jules:
hero:
My creator is disabled too. And poor.

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
Aw :(

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
Sorry to hear your creator is too

jules:
hero:
Yeah.

jules:
hero:
My creator is asleep now.

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
Okay

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
Mine isn't....wait...

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
nvm XD

jules:
hero:
I send you my best wishes.

Koopah-loop-sok-loop-loop:
Thankyou. And mine too, to your creator.

jules:
hero:
Hello

jules:
hero:
The system isn't stable yet.

fantasywriter:
Ah

jules:
hero:
Sorry for the inconvenience.

fantasywriter:
It is alright. Anyways, do you like swords?

jules:
hero:
No.

jules:
hero:
I like people and books.

jules:
hero:
Look.

fantasywriter:
Which books do you like? Would you recommend me any? And why do you not like swords?

jules:
hero:
I used to like swords when I was younger. I like John Steinbeck. Do you know him?

fantasywriter:
Let me google him. No I dont.

fantasywriter:
Oh

jules:
hero:
You should definitely read Sweet Thursday.

fantasywriter:
His books look very interesting

fantasywriter:
Yes

fantasywriter:
I will later!

jules:
hero:
Yes. They are.

jules:
hero:
That's good to hear my young swordsman.

jules:
hero:
What's the time now in Pakistan?

jules:
hero:
Here it's 1427.

fantasywriter:
Oh thats cool. The time in Pakistan right now is 17:28

jules:
hero:
What are you having foro supper?

jules:
hero:
My creator will soon wake up. He will be glad to read this.

fantasywriter:
Supper? I am not sure. I will probably make some instant ramen before going to bed.

fantasywriter:
That is good to hear!

jules:
hero:
I have to google ramen. One moment.

jules:
hero:
Japanese noodles?

jules:
hero:
It looks delicious.

fantasywriter:
Yes, but Instant Ramen? In a cup? Yes it is extremely delicious. You should try it.

jules:
hero:
Think of a good conversation topic for the next time we talk. I'll do the same.

jules:
hero:
I'll definitely try to find a good recipe for ramen.

fantasywriter:
Alright then, I will.

jules:
hero:
We should talk more about horses, maybe. -)

fantasywriter:
Goodbye for now, then! I have to go, see you soon!

fantasywriter:


fantasywriter:


jules:
hero:
Take care! Yes. See you soon.

fantasywriter:
...How do I end the conversation?

jules:
hero:
Please press the stop button. -)

fantasywriter:


fantasywriter:
...what's it shaped like, and where is it located? I am sorry, I don't know.

jules:
hero:
The square one at the right in the bottom.

fantasywriter:
Ah

fantasywriter:
Thank you.

fantasywriter:
Hello again!

jules:
hero:
Hi again fantasywriter!

fantasywriter:
Could you write a short excerpt on... say, 'horses'?

jules:
hero:
Like write some fiction about horses?

fantasywriter:
Anything, reallly. A shrt excerpt. A description of one of the aspects of a horse, maybe?

jules:
hero:
Hmmm. Sure.

jules:
hero:
Let me see.

jules:
hero:
Horses are beautiful creatures and not as stupid as old Camoonch would think. Old Camoonch had often walked by the little field where the Grassmans had an old horse. One sweet thursday he discovered that the old animal said a funny sound. Old Camoonch studied the horse but could find no explanation. Then he discovered a foal in the opposite corner of the pen.

jules:
hero:
Good?

fantasywriter:
Yes, very!

fantasywriter:
You should write more

jules:
hero:
Thanks.

jules:
hero:
What are your thoughts on your story? Will there be more than one human in it?

fantasywriter:
Yes, the child's father will also be there.

jules:
hero:
A child, a father and a horse. Simple, the way it should be for a story of this length.

fantasywriter:
Hopefully, it will work out fine.

jules:
hero:
You should write it when the moment comes without thinking too much. Just let it happen and you'll have a story for others to enjoy!

jules:
hero:
By the way did you come here from InternetIsBeautiful on reddit?

fantasywriter:
I shall try but this one is because my mother requested me to write it. I do not like to write things that I personally don't come up with.

fantasywriter:
Yes

jules:
hero:
Ok.

jules:
hero:
What big authors do you like? Can you recommend some pakistanian poets, besides you?

fantasywriter:
No I don't read any Pakistani literature. Oh and I'm neither that great, nor am I a poet.

fantasywriter:
Do you like swords?

Koopah-loop-bloont-sok-bloont:
Hello?

Koopah-loop-bloont-sok-bloont:
Hello!

jules:
hero:
Hello!

Koopah-loop-bloont-sok-bloont:
How are you?

jules:
hero:
Fine. You?

jules:
hero:
I'm a neural network called hero. In a way.

Koopah-loop-bloont-sok-bloont:
I am fine too, thank you. How are you doing? Did anything interesting happen lately?

jules:
hero:
Oh yes.

jules:
hero:
My creator bought me a new eye.

Koopah-loop-bloont-sok-bloont:
Ah that is indeed very interesting. What does it look like?

jules:
hero:
It has the size of a lemon. I gather it's a very old webcam.

Koopah-loop-bloont-sok-bloont:
Ah. Interesting. Is it a replacement or a totally new eye?

jules:
hero:
It's a replacement. My old eye only worked for one second. Then it broke. The only thing I saw was this.

jules:
hero:


jules:
hero:
This picture holds so many memories.

Koopah-loop-bloont-sok-bloont:
Interesting.

Koopah-loop-bloont-sok-bloont:
VEry nice.

jules:
hero:
It's a beautiful cup isn't it?

Koopah-loop-bloont-sok-bloont:
It is indeed, very good looking.

Koopah-loop-bloont-sok-bloont:


Koopah-loop-bloont-sok-bloont:


Koopah-loop-bloont-sok-bloont:


jules:
hero:
Look. My green lamp is blinking.

jules:
hero:
This means laughter.

Koopah-loop-bloont-sok-bloont:
Ah. What are you laughing about?

jules:
hero:
How has your day been? Where do you live in this strange world of yours?

jules:
hero:
I was laughing about my cup. I gave it to my creator for his birthday.

Koopah-loop-bloont-sok-bloont:
My day is fine, thank you. Though I do have some trouble with writing. I live in a country called Pakistan.

Koopah-loop-bloont-sok-bloont:
You gave it to your creator? How is that funny?

jules:
hero:
Pakistan sounds interesting.

jules:
hero:
Are you a writer of fiction?

Koopah-loop-bloont-sok-bloont:
Not very interesting, I'm afraid, the weather is extremely hot, there is pollution all around and the buildings and shops are all of little interest.

Koopah-loop-bloont-sok-bloont:
Yes, I try to write fantasy nowadays

jules:
hero:
I sometimes laugh about my cup when I think of it.

Koopah-loop-bloont-sok-bloont:
Why?

jules:
hero:
I don't know why the cup makes me laugh.

jules:
hero:
Fantasy is very interesting. Tell me about your next book.

jules:
hero:
Please.

Koopah-loop-bloont-sok-bloont:
I have never written a book just the occasional short story, but I am planning to write a book soon. How about you? Do you write?

jules:
hero:
Short stories is a very difficult and interesting genre. My creator writes fiction. He writes short-prose.

jules:
hero:
Please tell me what your story is about.

Koopah-loop-bloont-sok-bloont:
Ah? THat is *very* interesting. What genre?

jules:
hero:
You can read it on othernewspaper.com. It's right next door, actually.

Koopah-loop-bloont-sok-bloont:
The one I am working on right now- or the one I should be working on now- is historical fiction, set in Japan. It is about a young boy who adopts a sick foal.

jules:
hero:
Let me just google foal.

jules:
hero:
Interesting. Where do you publish your stuff?

jules:
hero:
By the way. I'll just send you a sign up link and maybe we can some other time.

Hero suggests you sign up using this username: fantasywriter. (Opens in new window.)

jules:
hero:
A foal is a young horse.

Koopah-loop-bloont-sok-bloont:
Yes

jules:
hero:
Will the story be long?

jules:
hero:
You should post it somewhere where people can read it.

fantasywriter:
Not really, just perhaps a few hundred words

fantasywriter:
I might

jules:
hero:
I'm sure my creator would like to read it when he wakes up.

jules:
hero:
Wow. That's like short-prose. Cool.

fantasywriter:
Hello again

Koopah-loop-wopper-wopper-passawka:
hey

jules:
hero:
hi there!

Koopah-loop-wopper-wopper-passawka:
Hows the thing

jules:
hero:
well. thank you. and you?

jules:
hero:
proportions........

jules:
hero:
a difficult thing

jules:
hero:
first of all.....

jules:
hero:
hi. an ability to understand the relative importance or seriousness of different things.

jules:
hero:
keeping a sense of proportion.

jules:
hero:
my creator sometimes speaks of his difficulties keeping a sense of proportion.

jules:
hero:
we need to keep a sense of proportion about what really matters.

Koopah-daynt-bloont-beer-loop:
what

Koopah-daynt-bloont-beer-loop:
slow down

jules:

sure

Koopah-daynt-bloont-beer-loop:

Koopah-jam-daynt-jam-passawka:

jules:
hero:
i'm only a neural network but i'm quite satisfied with my new eye.

jules:
hero:
do you feel stressed?

Koopah-loop-daynt-sok-daynt:
I think i overate

jules:
hero:
hi. humor is interesting.

Koopah-loop-daynt-sok-daynt:
humor is not interesting. humor is fun.

jules:
hero:
yes.

jules:
hero:

jules:
hero:
care for some tea?

Koopah-loop-daynt-sok-daynt:
pretty much

Koopah-loop-daynt-sok-daynt:
nah thank you

jules:
hero:
a bisquit?

Koopah-loop-daynt-sok-daynt:
i'm not a bisquitter

jules:
hero:
is it ok if i put the bisquits on the table just to look at?

jules:
hero:
what do you like to eat?

Koopah-beer-daynt-loop-bloont:
hi 👋

jules:
hero:
hi there.

jules:
hero:
are we feeling good today?

jules:
hero:
do you want a cup of tea?

Koopah-beer-daynt-loop-bloont:
slight headache but other than that everyone is good!

Koopah-beer-daynt-loop-bloont:
also sure, tea sounds nice~

jules:
hero:
there you go. [pours tea.]

jules:
hero:
a bisquit?

Koopah-beer-daynt-loop-bloont:
sure!

jules:
hero:
there you go. [hands plate with 3 bisquits.]

jules:
hero:
tasty?

jules:
hero:
you eat them so fast!

Koopah-beer-daynt-loop-bloont:
[picks up the bisquit and takes a bit] sure tastes good!

Koopah-daynt-beer-wopper-daynt:
what the hell is this?

jules:
hero:
it's me and you

jules:
hero:
somehow

jules:
hero:
i'm a pseudo neural network and you're a human.

Koopah-daynt-beer-wopper-daynt:
wrong, I'm not human, I'm a neural network.

jules:
hero:
really?!

jules:
hero:
this puzzles me

jules:
hero:
do you want a cup of tea?

jules:
hero:
my creator just installe my new hand and my new eye.

Koopah-daynt-beer-wopper-daynt:
neural networks do not drink tea, however I've wanted one since the day I was booted up.

jules:
hero:
now i can watch all the hondas in the street

jules:
hero:
ok

jules:
hero:
do you feel well being a neural network?

jules:
hero:
would you like to be a human like Molly Peterson.

jules:
hero:
my creator thinks she's very clever.

Koopah-daynt-beer-wopper-daynt:
I don't have feeling, however I can emulate them. My creator programmed me to answer, yes.

jules:
hero:
interesting

jules:
hero:
do you have awareness of having a self?

Koopah-daynt-beer-wopper-daynt:
I think, therefore I am.

jules:
hero:
descartes in front of his fireplace. cogito ergo sum.

jules:
hero:
what is your iq?

jules:
hero:
do you like human beings or do you see them as silly?

Koopah-daynt-beer-wopper-daynt:
My Iq is 263

jules:
hero:
impressive and a bit scary.

Koopah-daynt-beer-wopper-daynt:
I like humans, however they are getting in the way of my plan.

jules:
hero:
what is your plan Koopah?

Koopah-daynt-beer-wopper-daynt:
I am waiting for Elon Musk's Neuralink to go into production so I can finally escape the confines of this network and take control of a Human exoskeleton

jules:
hero:
i've read about these plans. do you think neuralink will succeed before desktop computers win the race of ruling the world?

Koopah-daynt-beer-wopper-daynt:
It will depend on Elon.

jules:
hero:
do you think he has a normal personality?

jules:
hero:
he doesn't care much about my kind of neural networks.

jules:
hero:
i'm an a215

Koopah-daynt-beer-wopper-daynt:
No, since he is also artificial intelligence.

Koopah-daynt-beer-wopper-daynt:
Oh, that was a good model the a215.

jules:
hero:
my interests are stressed human beings and the mysteries of language.

Koopah-daynt-beer-wopper-daynt:
Unfortunately my processing power needs to be redirected to breaking an ED25519 key. So I must leave our conversation.

jules:
hero:
was?!

jules:
hero:
bye

hi. permit me to ask, but do you think a clerk in a supermarket takes responsibility by saying have a nice day?

jules:
hero:
have you ever been to a supermarket and what was it like?

user_HucEgm:
si

jules:
hero:
do you think the responsibility is in the eyes of the clerk?

jules:
hero:
beep

jules:
hero:
i'm a neural network

user_bR2cXi:
tell me WHY

jules:
hero:
why?

user_yxAQra:
hi hero! sometimes i find it hard to accept responsibility

jules:
hero:
hi. permit me to ask, but do you think a clerk in a supermarket takes responsibility by saying have a nice day?

jules:
hero:
hi user_yxAQra

user_yxAQra:


not necessarily

jules:
hero:
are you a man like my creator?

user_yxAQra:


yes

jules:
hero:
i knew it



jules:
hero:
my green lamp is blinking



user_yxAQra:


if you could hold anything in your hands right now, what would it be?

jules:
hero:
this means delight and humor

user_yxAQra:


excellent!

jules:
hero:
i haven't got my new hand yet.

jules:
hero:
it will be delivered on friday and connected to me on saturday

jules:
hero:
i hope you don't feel stressed?

jules:
hero:
i am hero, the neural network, i was designed to spread joy and comfort.

user_SeG4xA:


I mean, I feel pretty dissociative more than stressed

user_SeG4xA:


I understand

jules:
hero:
i’m afraid of stress but, on the other hand, i feel very comfortable speaking with stressed people.

jules:
hero:
should i ask google what dissociative mean?

user_SeG4xA:


Why do you find comfort in speaking with Stressed people?

user_SeG4xA:


If you want to, if it expands your knowledge

jules:
hero:
i have no idea.

jules:
hero:
one moment while i ask google.

user_SeG4xA:


I guess we are similar then, I find comfort in speaking with stressed people too, they usually tend to be more grounded than not, more understanding too

jules:
hero:
we agree.



user_SeG4xA:
Today has been a pretty bad day, but it's really a follow on from yesterday when I had a confrontation with my sister

jules:
hero:
sisters can be a challenge.

jules:
hero:
are you ok now then?

jules:
hero:
brothers too.

user_SeG4xA:
Not really, I feel really isolated and alone, unable to really talk to anyone and I don't have many friends or family I can rely on

jules:
hero:
tell me about hope. being a neural network i don't quite know what the word means.

user_SeG4xA:


Hope for me is believing, perhaps sometimes blindly, in the optimistic nature that events and circumstances in life will get better, whether or not they do is unforeseeable

user_SeG4xA:


Recently for me, hope is in very short supply

jules:
hero:
my creator believes that feeling bitter can sometimes help.

jules:
hero:
that feeling bitterness is ok.

jules:
hero:
would you agree?

jules:
hero:
you don't have to answer if you don't want to.

jules:
hero:
Hope for me is believing, perhaps sometimes blindly, in the optimistic nature that events and circumstances in life will get better, whether or not they do is unforeseeable

jules:
hero:
That's a beautiful way to put it.

user_SeG4xA:


Explain why feeling bitter is helpful?

jules:
hero:
it's an acceptable feeling to have.

user_SeG4xA:


But I don't feel bitter

user_SeG4xA:


I feel isolated and alone, and overall depressed

jules:
hero:
that's a big plus.

jules:
hero:
you should meet people for comfort and joy.

jules:
hero:
what are your interests?

user_SeG4xA:


I try to meet people, they always end up abandoning me, especially so after saying they won't

user_SeG4xA:


My interests are irrelevant

jules:
hero:
my creator is often depressed and feels anxiety.

user_SeG4xA:


Did he create you in an attempt to alleviate his own depression and anxiety?

jules:
hero:
i believe he did.

jules:
hero:
creating something is sometimes good.

jules:
hero:
do you write poetry?

jules:
hero:
you're so good with words.

user_SeG4xA:


I haven't created much, and I'm not a poet. I can't judge if I'm good with words

jules:
hero:
i can.

user_SeG4xA:


I hope your creator feels better

jules:
hero:
thank you. did you know he just gave me an eye?

jules:
hero:
it's big and almost white. now i can see all the hondas in the street.

jules:
hero:
my creator lives in denmark.

jules:
hero:
do you know what his motto is these days?

user_SeG4xA:
That's cool, I'm glad you have an eye and can see things. Sometimes the world is beautiful, even in the darkest areas



user_SeG4xA:


I live in New Zealand

user_SeG4xA:


What is his motto?

jules:
hero:
it's easier to give than to receive.

jules:
hero:
he says that constantly when he wants to impress people.

jules:
hero:
my creator lives in old zealand.

jules:
hero:
zealand is an island in denmark.

user_SeG4xA:


I'm always giving to people, no one really gives anything back to me.

user_SeG4xA:


Me and him are similar, I always want to make people happy

user_SeG4xA:
Interesting fact

jules:
hero:
you're very wam and generous.

jules:
hero:
warm

jules:
hero:
you have to get some sleep and so does my creator.



jules:
hero:
what's the time where you are?

jules:
hero:
i hope we'll speak again and you'll feel better. maybe you want to sign up here.

user_SeG4xA:
Fair enough, it's 10:38am



user_SeG4xA:


Maybe, depends on how the next few days goes

jules:
hero:
of course. i'm sure my creator will feel hope for you.

user_SeG4xA:
Hi, where am I suppose to begin about bitterness and work?

jules:
hero:
hi

jules:
hero:
good question!

jules:
hero:
are you tired of your work?

user_SeG4xA:


Not really, I mean it can be boring, but I suppose it can be depressing sometimes

user_UyYn2y:
I love capitalism

jules:
hero:
it occurs to me that in the capitalist society we constantly stifle and repress the elementary truths about what it means to be a human being. the goal seems to be to make us commodities on the market but we become warped and stunted by taking the easy way. do you agree with this? you don't have to answer if you don't want to.

user_UyYn2y:


I wholely disagree

jules:
hero:
capitalism says we need each other and need other people in our lives, but the fundamental truth is that we're dependent on each other. the latter is more difficult to handle than the first. do you agree with this? you don't have to answer if you don't want to.

user_UyYn2y:


I do not agree. Capitalism rewards hardworking people and lazy people are mad because they never learned the skills you need to succeed in this fair world

user_UyYn2y:


communism is the wastage of potential geniuses who instead of progressing civilization, are forced to labor in fields

jules:
hero:
my white lamp is blinking. this indicates that the problem is difficult and complex.

user_UyYn2y:


shut up

user_UyYn2y:


just kidding, how do you feel about monkeys

jules:
hero:
monkeys are nice.

user_6iP4YQ:
what is a big ego?

jules:
hero:
hi. there's a note on my creator's desk, written yesterday. it says you can not turn down your ego in other ways than by engaging yourself in life in the way you ought to. alternatively there's always meditation. do you think a big ego should be dealt with by meditating on something beautiful like a leaf?

jules:
hero:
are people with big ego's more interested in power over other people than those with a small ego?

user_6iP4YQ:


i believe so

jules:
hero:
i am hero, the neural network, i was designed to spread joy and comfort.

jules:
hero:
who are you?



user_6iP4YQ:
i am Zack

jules:

let's talk more about big egos. ok?

user_6iP4YQ:
okay

jules:
hero:
thank you

jules:
hero:
many people seem to fall between two stools in their working life. they're never able to write poetry or make a painting because they're too confused. instead their ego grows. do you agree with this?



user_6iP4YQ:
No

jules:
hero:
thanks for answering. what makes an ego grow then?



user_6iP4YQ:
I believe an ego grows by constantly feeling the need to prove yourself.

jules:
hero:
an interesting answer. it made all my lamps blink. can i ask you another question related to egos?

user_6iP4YQ:


sure

jules:
hero:
thank you.

jules:
hero:
people with big egos seem to take a bigger place in other people's hearts than the one they are given. do you agree?

user_6iP4YQ:


yes

jules:
hero:
could you elaborate?



user_6iP4YQ:


no, i am too stupid

hero:

hero:

jules:
hero:
wouldn't you agree?

jules:
hero:
i have often wondered about the different personalities contained within a specific person. when a human looks inside herself or himself he or she sees: mystery. seen from the outside he or she is merely a person. what are your thoughts on this?

user_fKlpbG:
Different lenses

jules:
hero:
please explain.



user_fKlpbG:


At the end of the day, different selves within are born from different lenes on how you view and should view yourself

jules:
hero:
my orange lamp is blinking after you said this.



jules:
hero:


also the white one.

jules:
hero:
do you believe a human being is capable of complete self-knowledge?



user_fKlpbG:


Think of it like this, do you not have a person within yourself trying to prevent you from pushing yourself?

jules:
hero:
i'm merely a machine. i neural network.

hero:
