Free will and consciousness?

... Not to be a jerk, but I thought we hadn't settled these problems yet

date for a 'demonstration' if it's supposed to have even half of that
list even 1/10th implemented.


My thoughts exactly.

Reminds me of a (print) article I came across one time. It was about the 
idea of AI consciousness, but the whole article was based on one hell of 
a gigantic assumption: That consciousness is a natural consequence of a 
sufficiently large neural net. It's a fine and interesting idea, but 
PURELY speculative, with zero evidence and not even any way of testing 
for evidence since, like you say, we can't even figure out the first 
thing about consciousness as it relates to ourselves and each other, let 
alone to machines.

On my website there is a picture I claim to be of myself at a 
ceremony to receive an award from Microsoft. Surely, it isn't 
that much of a stretch to ask Microsoft if they ever gave a 
certain Asame Obiomah an award, is it?


If there were any doubts left that this is a poor scam attempt 
then this should lift them completely.

not nearly as much fun as writing normal D code.


Wait can the GC be used in ddmd?

I'll be careful not to jeopardize the mission.

I rate this troll 8 / 10. Many keks were had. Much wow.

Some of its capabilities are:

1. Ability to learn
2. Ability to analyse
3. Problem solving
4. Moral judgement
5. Ability to feel emotions
6. Free will
7. Consciousness
8. Self awareness


Maybe we should create a new concept: Software from Nigeria.

You only need a fashionable looking website with lofty promises, 
some googlable discussion on a forum for some obscure programming 
language, a mention of patents pending, and maybe an interview on 
some 2nd rate tech site.


What else would you need for credibility to whet the appetite of 
amateur investors, lottery winners, or heirs.




I am certain this is not the last time we will see this kind of 
"entrepreneurship". But it makes me sad to see D dragged into it.

That's quite a large set of features, considering the site 
still says 2014 for copyright I am sure it is worthy of being

I on the other hand hope it is indeed real and will succeed!
Would love to have my own digital personal assistant. Not that

How about range snippets? I've just added a simple standard range 
to my snippets.lua file:


range = [[private
{
R r;
}

this(R r)
{
this.r = r;
}

@property bool empty()
{
return r.length == 0;
}

@property auto front()
{
return r[0];
}

@property void popFront()
{
r = r[1..$];
}

Of course there can be all the different kinds of ranges (rangei 
= infinite, rangef = forward range etc.).
