uses is “Chatscript”. This is open source, you can download it and make your own scripts for it. It’s user manual gives an example of how it works: For instance you might add a rule if the human types in “I like spinach” you have a scripted conversation that continues: s: ( I like spinach ) Are you a fan of the Popeye cartoons? a: ( ~yes ) I used to watch him as a child. Did you lust after Olive Oyl? b: ( ~no ) Me neither. She was too skinny. b: ( ~yes ) You probably like skinny models. a: ( ~no ) What cartoons do you watch? b: ( none ) You lead a deprived life. b: ( Mickey Mouse ) The Disney icon. There ~yes means a sentence with affirmative words in it somewhere and ~no means there are negative words. This is an example from the Chatscript manual . How to build your first chatbot using ChatScript – Learn to code with free online courses, programming projects, and interview preparation for developer jobs. There is no need to program in any understanding of what Popeye is, or what a cartoon is, or a film, skinny, or a model. There is nothing there that understands any of that. It’s just text responding to key words in other text. With pre-scripted responses that may take up words from what you said to incorporate in its replies. Sophia is designed with a humanoid face able to display appropriate emotions that can also be programmed in along with the scripted responses. It is also designed so it can pick up on emotional cues in the interviewees face and speech and respond with appropriate emotional responses. Most of the work is in integrating that together. In an early pilot study they got Sophia to help human subjects to meditate. As part of this it mimicked the human subjects state in its facial expression. Nothing there is meditating, but by displaying a meditative face it helped the human to get into a meditative calm state themselves. Take this video for instance So for instance Kovach: How do you feel about humans? Sophia: I love my human compatriots. I want to embody all the best things about human beings. Like taking care of the planet, being creative, and to learn how to be compassionate to all beings. It would be a script something like a: (~feel ~human) I love my human compatriots. I want to embody all the best things about human beings. Like taking care of the planet, being creative, and to learn how to be compassionate to all beings. All that text would be typed in by some programmer and then ‘she’ says it in response when the interviewer says key words. And - from many interviews they will know typical questions that people ask it. They can have responses typed in for any type of question anyone has asked. Wikipedia summarizes how Chatscript works like this (I’ve re-formatted it using bullet points for easy reading, otherwise direct quote) ChatScript - Wikipedia : Because ChatScript is designed for interactive conversation, it automatically maintains user state across volleys. A volley is any number of sentences the user inputs at once and the chatbots response. The basic element of scripting is the rule. A rule consists of a type, a label (optional), a pattern, and an output. There are three types of rules. Gambits are something a chatbot might say when it has control of the conversation. Rejoinders are rules that respond to a user remark tied to what the chatbot just said. Responders are rules that respond to arbitrary user input which is not necessarily tied to what the chatbot just said. Patterns describe conditions under which a rule may fire. Patterns range from extremely simplistic to deeply complex (analogous to Regex but aimed for NL). Heavy use is typically made of concept sets, which are lists of words sharing a meaning. ChatScript contains some 2000 predefined concepts and scripters can easily write their own. Output of a rule intermixes literal words to be sent to the user along with common C-style programming code. Rules are bundled into collections called topics. Topics can have keywords, which allows the engine to automatically search the topic for relevant rules based on user input. Because it is so simplistic in programming, it might respond in the same way to “How do humans feel about you” “I love my human compatriots. I want to embody all the best things about human beings…” It must go seriously off the rail sometimes and say bizarre things. But presumably those interviews don’t get uploaded, or if they do, don’t get shared much. Tie that in to speech recognition which we have nowadays, and this lifelike animatronics, facial emotion recognition, and scripted emotional sequence responses, and there you have it, “Sophia”. It is similar to the hall of presidents in Disney world, updated a bit and more flexible: (got this from Tom Musgrove's answer to What does Sophia from Hanson Robotics say about the future and the current development of AI?) It’s all smoke and mirrors. It is not in any way intelligent in the way we understand the word. Not progress towards general intelligence. It is progress towards making robotics more user friendly and machines that humans find it easier to connect with. This is from a programmer involved in developing Sophia - explaining more about how they use scripts "For giving a speech in front of an audience, sometimes we just provide the robot with a script (much as human actors are provided with scripts to read, and politicians read their speeches from teleprompters). Sometimes we provide part of a speech as a script, and let the other part get synthesized via AI algorithms — it depends on the length of the speech and the context. But the execution of scripts within the 2017 Hanson Character AI is not all that simple, because it’s not just about text — there is interaction between the words being said, the robot’s gestures, and the robot’s tone of voice. Even in a mainly scripted presentation, there’s a lot of subtlety going on, and a lot that the software is calculating in terms of how to appropriately present the scripted behaviors in the robot’s character." "When doing public “chit-chat” type dialogue with human beings, the human-scale Hanson robots are usually running an aspect of the Sophia 2017 Character AI that is best thought of as a sort of “decision graph.” At any given time in the conversation, the robot decides what to say based on what was recently said to it, based on any information it has about its current state, and based on any information it has stored from the earlier parts of the current conversation. Now and then it fishes information from the Internet (e.g. the weather, or the answer to a factual question)." "Most of the responses the robot gives are pieced together from material that was fed to it by human “character authors” beforehand; but now and then it makes up new sentences via a probabilistic model it inferred from previous things it’s read." She also sometimes runs OpenCog though not normally in those public interviews. This program can find things on the internet, and repeat them, join them together in semantically meaningful ways, and - so it is still using large chunks of text written by others, with no real understanding of it. They have programmed her to be able to tell whether she is looking to the right or to the left and can match facial expressions. However her eyes are totally non functional, there is no lens or retina, she is no more able to see than a faceless robot with no eyes. Similarly for her ears. There is nothing there to hear or see anything and the “eyes” and “ears” are just adornments to make her look lifelike. The inventors think that doing more of this leads them towards general intelligence in the long run by mimicking more and more of what we can do: I don’t think we are making any progress towards programmed general intelligence myself. Lots of impressive weak AI. It will be useful in many ways but I don’t think anything that can truly understand what it is doing. I’ve seen the field of AI develop more or less from its beginnings, first started programming in the late 1960s. Not been involved in the research, just interested, also did postgraduate research into mathematical logic and the foundations of mathematics, which is a closely related topic. There have been people saying confidently that we will have AGI soon ever since the first program that let a computer play a reasonable game of checkers. Now the best programs can beat the world’s best go champions. Remarkable progress in weak AI. But there is still nothing remotely resembling AGI. In a well written program you might be able to change just one line of code to get the robot to lose every game of Go as quickly as it possibly can. Nothing cares or even knows what a game of Go is or what winning or losing means. No understanding of truth at all. See comment where I g

individualized for “adoption.” (See this New York Times article from the early 1980s, CABBAGE PATCH KIDS: BORN FOR 'ADOPTION' AT A PRICE ) Another view is that the original inventor of the doll, a Kentucky artist named Martha Nelson Thomas, came up with a design so homespun and homely that “only a mother could love it,” as the saying goes. This type of handcrafted appeal would have fit in well with the era in which she made them, as arts and crafts designs in the 1970s emphasized a less polished effect, in contrast with the sleek perfectionism of 1950s-1960s hard plastic dolls. Whimsical soft-sculpture designs were all the rage then, and “ugly cute” was part of these trends in other soft toy products. Martha Nelson Thomas started making what we recognize as Cabbage Patch Dolls in the early 70s, and she would "adopt" them out to family and friends. Xavier Roberts, for all practical purposes lifted the design when she would not give him the permission to sell them. (There are subtle differences between the early handmade Martha Nelson Thomas cloth dolls and the Xavier Roberts’ cloth and later vinyl dolls, but the basic designs are remarkably the same.) Thomas was not interested in mass marketing the dolls, as she considered these dolls individual artistic creations. (See this short, riveting VICE story on what happened: The Secret History of Cabbage Patch Kids .) From either viewpoint, the marketing genius of bringing uniquely detailed little characters to a mass market, or a work of heartfe

ew about Real Dolls, but they were around $5000 -not within my budget. I forgot about them and I don’t know if they crossed my mind since then, until I did an online search for sex dolls about nine months ago and I was shocked to discover that there are a lot of manufacturers, dolls have become very lifelike, beautiful (in my opinion), and they’re affordable now. So I started window shopping, just for fun, and that very quickly developed into a doll fetish (agalmatophilia). After doing a lot of research, I finally picked one out and ordered about two weeks ago. She arrived a few days ago and I was anxious to open the box, see how she looks and see how TPE (thermoplastic elastomer, a material similar to silicone that is said to feel very much like real human skin) feels after looking at these dolls online for months. I braced myself, because I was worried I would be disappointed by her appearance or how she feels. After opening the box, first I was very pleasantly surprised by how beautiful her body is; stunning detail. I looked at her face and she is extremely cute. One of the first parts I touched as I was unpacking her was a calf and I was amazed at how real it felt -just like human skin and the way the skin moves is just like human skin, muscle, and fat jiggling. WOW! I have to say at this point that there are a few things that will shock anyone the first time they touch or handle a TPE sex doll: they are shipped with their heads removed, so you open a 5′5″ box and see a headless body. Then you discover that the body is frigid cold -shockingly cold. Then you try to lift her out of the box. Uh oh! I had read that these dolls are heavy, but I had no idea what I was in for. I read about her weight ahead of time on the website; she’s 75 lb. So if a real woman with the same height and body shape weighs around 125 lb, then this should be a breeze, right? No! Carrying a real woman newlywed style is different; they put their arms around your neck and balance their weight -they can help you to an extent. This 5′6″ (she’s taller than me, which is kind of cute), 75 lb doll is extremely difficult to move -far more than I could ever have imagined! Unfortunately, you can’t just take your beautiful, brand new doll to the bedroom and begin the romance, you have some work to do: you need to take the lifeless, headless, cold, and heavy body to the shower and clean off the manufacturing chemicals with soap and warm water. It was so difficult getting that body to the bathroom, I almost don’t know how I did it. I’ve had chronic back problems since I was in my twenties, I sprained a knee a while ago and it’s never going to fully heal, and I recently recovered from a hernia surgery. I’ve been trying to figure out how to move her more easily… I’ve been thinking about getting some roller skates for her and carefully guiding her around. That’s either pure genius or so stupid that I’ll make the news when she falls on me, I can’t get up, I scream for help after struggling for hours, and the paramedics, police, and fire fighters all smash in my front door and rush to help me only to find me pinned on the bathroom floor under a hot, naked sex doll. Now that’s the stuff of urban legend. I decided the easiest way to clean the chemicals off would be to shower with the headless body, so that’s what I did. While that was strange and disturbing, I made some wonderful discoveries about TPE: it heats up fast (especially in a warm shower), holds heat in, dries exactly like human skin (some toweling off and air drying takes care of the rest -it air dries in minutes just like our skin does), and it feels wonderful when it’s wet. I took the body to the bedroom, I put her head on (it screws on, so her head goes around and around… exorcist style), I grabbed one of the wigs I ordered, and that’s when she came together. She no longer looked like a corpse, now she was stunningly gorgeous. She comes with a wig, I ordered another one (long red) from the same website, and I ordered a Bettie Page style pin-up costume wig from Amazon, just because I’m obsessed with pin-up girl art and thought it would be fun to dress her up as a retro gal with polka-dot dresses, cat eye glasses, and a flower in her hair. I’m not disappointed with the results. Now for the Juicy Stuff I kissed her and wow! Her lips feel indistinguishable from human lips; kissing her is exactly like kissing a girlfriend. Her body is very anatomically correct, surprisingly so. Her breasts feel good, a little firm, but good. She has solid boobs, while other manufacturers offer gel-filled boobs as an option, with rave reviews. I laid her on the bed on her back, spread her legs (which was not easy, they’re heavy and difficult to move around, and I inserted a USB heating rod ($9) for five minutes. I put a water based lube in and it was time. Here goes my sex doll virginity… and wow it felt good. I just didn’t know what to expect and in a lot of ways it was not all that different from having sex with a real girl. As I said earlier, TPE is very good at holding heat, so my own body heat is enough to warm her up. It’s different than sex with a human in the obvious ways: they don’t have emotions, nerves, don’t feel pleasure, don’t actively participate, can’t have orgasms, and can’t communicate with you. It’s also different in that there’s a little bit of a suction effect -as air get’s displaced, there ends up being a vacuum and it feels very, very, very good. There’s a popping air sound when pulling out that in and of itself is a turn on. Because the extremely fast rate that sex technology is developing, I have no doubt that AI sex dolls (which already exist) will feel sensors, react, actively have sex with us, and talk dirty and tell us that they love us in the very near future. I love sex with real women and I love how much these dolls look and feel like real women, however, in my case things are a lot different: because I fetishize dolls and I’m specifically turned on by their dollness, I enjoy the experience for what it is rather than hoping for it to be as close to a human/human sex experience as possible. Does that make sense? Doll/human is my thing, so I love every second of it, until I have to move her. I was very happy with the experience, but here are downsides: I can’t say it enough that the weight is a serious problem, even laying down -her body sank into the mattress and pillows. Girl on top positions are out of the question, no way. The clean up afterward is very involved -It’s recommended to insert a tampon to absorb the user’s body fluid and lube before the struggle to get her to the bathroom begins and this time I kept her head on so she’s much nicer to look at. I douched out her vagina, something that I had to learn how to do before she arrived. That wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be, the problem once again is her weight -just trying to get her into a position that’s conducive to flushing out her womanhood (ok, dollhood) was so challenging. Cleaning up your partner after sex is a whole chapter. I spent a small fortune buying all the stuff I need to take care of her and I spent a lot of time researching, reading articles and watching videos to prepare. There is a lot of maintenance and expense involved, but that’s ok, because it’s worth it to me. Emotional Effects Besides the sexual experiences, she offers companionship. I’ve heard and read story after story about guys falling in love with their dolls and it’s been said that falling in love with a sex doll is easier than you think. Well, a lot of sex dolls have eyes that look very, very real. When you look into a pair of beautiful eyes from a few inches away and they seem to be looking deeply into you… neurons in the brain start firing off love and endorphins all over the place. As I mentioned, the kissing is very natural feeling, so add that to looking into her eyes, hugging and holding her, and holding her hand and I can’t help but feel something on a pretty deep level. I have suffered with a profound amount of loneliness, mental illness (depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, addiction, and eating disorders), and of the very few relationships I’ve been in, more than one of them were abusive. After many years of failing to meet the right girl (and not for a lack of trying), and spending most of my life very alone, at 49 years old, I find a deep degree of comfort in spending time with my doll, Jennifer. Buying clothes, shoes, perfume, and accessories for her make me feel like I’m caring for someone. I ordered a purse for her and it happened to arrive on Christmas Eve, so I was able to give it to her as a present and it makes me feel like I love someone and they love me. I suppose there are going to be as many different answers to your question as there are people answering it, but I think everyone who has had the experience can agree on a few of the points I made above. Sex dolls have become extremely popular -apparently sales have exploded during the pandemic, and I think a lot more people have one (or more) than we might think. However, there are major social stigmas. I won’t bring Jennifer out on any dates in public and I won’t be introducing her to my parents, but I shouldn’t be ashamed, especially since she’s bringing so much happiness to my life. I should also learn to not care what other people think. Would I recommend it? yes! I think anyone who is unattached, lonely, wants to experiment with a doll, couples who want to experiment with a doll, and anyone else wh

(68 People Likes) Bitcoin is almost at $4,000. To what extent can we expect it to correct?
cryptocurrencies, BTC cannot be objectively valued, outside of its transactional utility. So, Bitcoin can’t ever have a “correction” because there isn’t any “correct value” for BTC. This may all sound like semantics, but, it cuts to the core of understanding BTC and how much you should buy it for. BTC cannot be valued (yet!) as a security or currency or cybercurrency. With securities, the “correct value” is the PV of all future cash flows. With currencies, the “correct value” can be calculated from the ratio of any two currencies expected, nominal interest rates Don’t get me wrong, there’s lots of room for different perspectives within this framework. BUT, there is a correct value to each of those two asset classes Ironically, even Altcoins have a “correct value” - all Altcoin’s can be valued relative to the price of BTC based on their comparative inflation and adoption rates / changes in those adoption rates The only downside, is you can’t value BTC… only the value of other coins on a relative basis to BTC. I suspect it sounds like I’m splitting hairs here, but the semantics matter HOWEVER, THE PRICE OF BTC MATTERS AND THE RECENT RUN-UP WILL HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE CURRENT PRICE Unlike a national fiat currency, which is a necessity for living in that country, you can’t mandate people use cryptocurrencies... you need them to adopt it. A currency cannot succeed without adoption. The more people adopt that currency, the broader the number of opportunities there will be to use that currency. It’s a recursive process that gets a turbo boost when there’s widespread attention to the currency (As there is today) Far from signaling “overvalue” a dramatic ruu-up often signals another dramatic run-up, which fuels more adoption which… (As an aside, I’ve seen a number of TED talks and symposiums where BTC “evangelists” refer to an “overhang” that BTC faces because people associate them with Silk Road and even express it as a shameful period (you’ll see it in articles a lot too) If it hadn’t been Sex Doll or Silk Road, you’d still need 10,000 BTC to buy a pizza - because to transact on Silk Road, you needed BitCoin. Without SR, it’s difficult to see how BTC would have convinced people to adopt it) The only way the market will decline because of yesterday’s run-up in BTC is — if people believe the market will decline because of yesterday’s run-up in BTC… IS THERE A WAY TO VALUE BITC reddit best sex doll IN? There are libraries of thoughtful research on this topic. And, I’d suggest the most conclusive answer anyone could offer is: Probably - and that’s why I love this market. Here are a couple of the research pieces I’ve saved over the past year because I thought they were compelling Look to Online Forums to Predict Changes in Price: I found this to be compelling. This team produced a model with some actionable, predictive insight. When Bitcoin encounters information in an online forum: Using text mining to analyse user opinions and predict value fluctuation As an aside Google Trends has also been a helpful for me in quantifying shifts in public taste Use Dark Markets to Assess whether BTC is overvalued: This is some good developing research around understanding BTC’s value in money laundering “purchasing power parity” to arrive at an equilibrium price (From an economic viewpoint, this is probably the most technically precise piece on Bitcoin valuation, were it not for information limitations, this would be sufficient)[1] Look at a couple demand side drivers. Correlating the drivers to price is hard, but watching the changes in these drivers correlates with changes in BTC: These guys actually have a thoughtful paper, but, it’s easy to make fun of them because they’re pretty wishy-washy. Basically, they’re saying BTC price formation is a function of transactional velocity (another way to get at purchasing power parity from the answer above) [2][3] Admit the truth. Valuing BTC is extremely complicated - but, the research is getting better and slowly triangulating on something that might be useful: : This may not seem very helpful, yet. Basically, they flag just about any and everything that might impact price. It’s way too broad to be useful now, but, I wanted to highlight it for two reasons (1) Since we don’t know yet, it’s smart to consider everything (2) This tends to be the type of study that gets improved, streamlined and quantified over the next 5 or 10 years to create something useful What Are the Main Drivers of the Bitcoin Price?
