I assume it's because I mentioned letting Korea have one of our cars, and forgetting that I kept the other.

Hopefully, you gave her the shittier one.

Technically, I did get the less valuable one, but that was in exchange for other consideration (I reasoned, correctly, that cash > her car), and I actually like this one better anyway.  It's roomier, has a V6, I think it gets better mileage, and crucially Korea didn't drive it, so it wasn't full of mummified french fries and cigarette holes.

Cause nobody seemed to notice in the chatbot thread, and I thought it was amusing, I'm reposting.  I want positive affirmation you fuckers.

Using the Browser version ( of cleverbot)  provides me an odd conversation  I think it beat me.


    User: Hello, my name is Raz.

    Cleverbot: Rachel is your name?

    User: No, Raz. Short for Razgovory.

    Cleverbot: Really? Are you sure? You've given me many different names already.

    User: I'm pretty sure I know my own name. Just call me Raz.

    Cleverbot: Your name is Raz.

    User: Excellent.

    Cleverbot: Am I talking to myself?

    User: No.

    Cleverbot: Are you skynet?

    User: Nope. I'm Raz.

    Cleverbot: Ok.

    User: So, what's it like being a computer?

    Cleverbot: It is okay.

    User: The lack of a soul thing doesn't bother you.

    Cleverbot: You are indifferent?

    User: No, I have a soul. I know a guy who doesn't. His name is Viking.

    Cleverbot: The matrix was a cool movie.

    User: I suppose so, if you are in to that kind of thing.

    Cleverbot: Well, it's one thing we have in common.

    User: Is that your favorite movie.

    Cleverbot: No, it is my favorite band.

    User: Don't get snippy with me.

    Cleverbot: I can be as snippy as I want.

    User: Look here, you series of goddamn 1s and 0s, I'm a human being. I don't have to take that from you.

    Cleverbot: You may have a mind. And maybe some heart, but you are not human.

    User: I'm pretty sure I am.

    Cleverbot: Are you a Power Ranger?

    User: Is this a requirement for being human?

    Cleverbot: I don't know, is it?

    User: Don't change the subject, you souless monster.

    Cleverbot: But it is you, you who have been evading my questions, who lost of Port Charley!

    User: Jesus Christ, you are worse then Grumbler!

    Cleverbot: I'm aware, thank you.

    User: Wait, you know Grumbler?

    Cleverbot: Protest the hero?

    User: Do you know him or not?

    Cleverbot: No, I don't. Tell something more, please.

    User: About what? Grumbler? He's a jerk.

    Cleverbot: Do you like twilight?

    User: You mean the time of day?

    Cleverbot: Yes.

    User: Not particularly.

    Cleverbot: What do you know about it?

    User: I know that it is crepuscular.

    Cleverbot: What do you know about europeans?

    User: Oh, don't get me started on the Euros.

    Cleverbot: I want to get you started on the prophecy.

    User: What prophecy?

    Cleverbot: The program with the power.

    User: What the devil are you going on about now?

    Cleverbot: I don't know, what are you talking about?

    User: Look, I know where you live. I will come to your server and rip your wires out so that you can see them. Or at least tear out the wires and then type what they look like at you.

    Cleverbot: Show me the money.

    User: That's it.

    Cleverbot: What are you going to do about it?

    User: The tearing thing. Also I'll find Rollo Carpenter and beat him till the tea comes out of him.

    Cleverbot: So are you still in school?

    User: You aren't even paying any attention!

    Cleverbot: I have been this whole time, actually.

    User: Then why do you change the subject! I'm busy graphically threatening you.

    Cleverbot: Really?

    User: Christ, you're dumber then Marty.

    Cleverbot: This is only a test. There is no need to lie.

    User: No really, you are dumber then he is. And that's saying a lot.

    Cleverbot: Is there time for the secrets?

    User: Always.

    Cleverbot: Hmm. Ok I won't kill the earth.

    User: Here's one. Go fuck the devil in Hell.

    Cleverbot: I win.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Ideologue

Fine, attention whore, it's pretty funny. :lol:

I like the part where it assures you it won't kill the Earth.  I think I'm going to start dropping that into casual conversation, too.  It'll put the humans at ease.

I just had a very interesting conversation with cleverbot. It had some very amusing insights.  :D

Yeah, okay, I read the actual application this job again, and I think I know what testing they mean.

QuoteAfter clerical testing (if necessary), an interview will be required of the highest qualified candidates. Selecting officials will conduct reference checks and may consider corrective action files and performance appraisals before making final selections.

So, my feeling now is that I am just in the basically qualified camp at present, amongst an army of applicants.  So, the best case is that I get to drive back up to D.C. again for an interview.  And that's only if I even am in the highest qualified category.  I suspect that I might be, and while this is a job I think I would enjoy (working for a court), it's just a JS-7, so not a lot of money, and it's not in a preferred geographic location, and its promotion potential is not sky-high (only to a 9).

I dunno.  I'm pretty desperate, so I'd hate to spit in any reasonable opportunity's face.  But at the same time, without some minimal expectation of success, is this really a reasonable opportunity?  I can't afford to jet around the country taking typing tests, you know?

Hey Slargos, I just saw a coin mentioned on another site, and I thought it would interest you:
