Here is Practical Explanation about Next Life, Purpose of Human Life,

That's a surprise, I didn't have Hare Krishnas down as being offensive dicks...

( street dog ) whatever you all have been written that is *not enough power-full* to disprove this *Practical Explanation*

just like for example:- Just as you can *judge* whether rice is properly cooked by picking out one small grain, so you can know that person is *Rascal* or Sane by observing one line of his/her matter.

*that is all*. ( argument finished.)

[Hudson]

What if you prefer noodles instead of rice?

[Gibbon]

That's a surprise, I didn't have Hare Krishnas down as being offensive dicks...

To be fair - it's a scripted spambot.

So out of interest, how does it work? I don't recall one appearing to engage in conversation before. I use the word "conversation" loosely, of course.

[Gibbon]

Looking at most of those google results - it seems to just post the same responses in the same sequence we've seen here regardless of response. I think it's an illusion of conversation.

So there was no rice in the first place? This is some matrix-esque mindfuck going on

Strange, I noticed the same phrases coming up, but the responses have subtle differences. And come in different orders. I'm not arguing that it isn't a spambot, just that it's a more complex one to the usual. It's clever given that a religious nut probably would just copy and paste their rote phrases if they were to bombard a message board.

I'm scared.

Hmmm. Maybe it's just some lunatic with more time than sense.

roava is skynet?!

Well, if it is a spambot, surely there's still some lunatic with more time than sense behind it?

[Gibbon]

True. Where's Savory these days, or did he finally meet a girl?

[Dan]

Looking at most of those google results - it seems to just post the same responses in the same sequence we've seen here regardless of response. I think it's an illusion of conversation.

I was trying to answer without using the words it was apparently looking for in the answer, yes or no, to see if that made a difference. Obviously not

now do you follow this rice analogy or not ? what is your answer ? ( yes or no ?)

Not at all - the rice analogy is bollocks.

Clever though, it's the first time I've seen one manage to come back and reply to the same topic when another response has been made.

[mrblackbat]

The most interesting part in the programming will be the way it is polling the threads its created and the trigger point when whatever its running under then pays attention to that actual thread; looking at the time gaps between the first two posts and then the "conversation", there's clearly some code designed to look at the uptake in a thread before the responses are engaged in full flight.

Or that's just coincidence, and if nobody had replied the same posts would be made at the same frequency. But that would be dull.

[Gibbon]

Yeah. Plus the fact that it managed to correctly identify Dan as the person most likely to want to have a conversation with it.
