OT: How I'm Going To Change The World

I was really disappointed the other day to see 'Flowers For Algernon'
leaving the group. After making such a great contribution here, and only
having to post one message to do so... that's a person I'm truly going to
miss.

Progress on InterNeil 2.0, the NNTP posting program everyone seems
interested in talking to, has been going well, with the computer
successfully creating posts under it's OTHMAN moniker in a variety of
groups. It was interesting to see the reaction it got here, especially when
it's existance was reinforced by the apparent involvement of a third
party -- creating the illusion of realism. I haven't quite got it down yet,
it needs a few routines for scanning posts and identifying the people it
communicates with, but 'microsoft.public.nntp.test' and
'microsoft.public.msagent' are as good a places as any to continue with
development. Quite an interesting bit of social engineering, and expect to
hear more from it, and other NNTP posting programs, in the future.

I've decided that the way to solve the world's problems is to write about
them in newsgroups. I'll point to bad things that have happened in the past
as justification for my current wrong behavior, and let everyone know that
if they don't agree with my point of view, I'll beat them up or shoot them.
That always seems to work for the terrorists. And if it's good enough for
the terrorists, it's good enough for me.

So you're saying you've created the world's first NNTP AI... Artificial
Idiocy ???

Well Doogie if you have read the book Flowers for Algernon you will know it
is about a lab experiment on a boy (Charly) and a mouse (Algernon). The boy
is severely intellectually challenged (as is the mouse). The doctors find a
procedure to make him smarter and they do... first on Algernon and then on
Charly. The book demonstrates his process of learning, then his relapse
into stupidity, until the mouse dies and it infers that Charly does too. Do
not mourn Algernon's loss... he was smart for a while and then reverted to
his natural state!
