Input (plain English, not executable):

If something is heavy, it weighs many grams

This should be converted to this rule which is executable:

fact($something is heavy) => fact($something weighs many grams)

Actual program that does the conversion:

ai_ifToFactRule_2(
  "If something is heavy, it weighs many grams",
  litciset("it"),       // pronouns
  litciset("something") // nouns
)

As you see, the only customization the function requires is a list of pronouns and nouns.

Finally, we can test the new rule.

ai_applyFactToFactRules(
  "fact($something is heavy) => fact($something weighs many grams)",
  "John is heavy")

which yields:

[John weighs many grams]

YouTube is unusable on Firefox. It's probably deliberate. That's what you get from a monopoly...

Artificial philosopher in the making.

Here's an interesting project for reinforcement learning which, just possibly, may be a good addition to my software infrastructure.

There is a language gap to bridge (Python/JavaX), but that's what we went to university for, didn't we?

Just thought I'd share this. A literal remix heaven by The Reflex.

You see, I do know a bit of history. I was part of the Smalltalk movement 'cause yeah, that thing has a tremendous charme. Miles ahead of everything.

In fact, it just dawned on me, JavaX offers a lot of the fabulous Smalltalk experience—an integrated virtual machine where source, runnable code, GUIs and orthogonally persistent data intersect each other.

So where did Smalltalk fail? Mouse over for more info. And no, JavaX does not suffer from the same problem.

Because a next generation OS just has more smartness.

I want to finish the big project now: the talking operating system.

I'm the right man for the job. I understand technology, people—and I understand the madness that money represents. Also I don't have to do this.

In the generally quite rotten IT industry, there is now talk of a "third wave of AI". And, interestingly, this time they float pretty much the ideas I have been pushing for the last 5 years.

Although of course it's fair to say I still have a lot of tricks in petto they didn't even conceive yet.

So is now the time for change?

You realize that right? That humanity is nowhere near as free, enlightened and happy as it could be?

The main reason is that they still believe in "competition" instead of collaboration... so almost nobody gets anything done.

Happy Christmas! (?)

Finally... :)

So sorry—there was a bug in the download files causing installation to fail for new users. Now fixed!

"Alexa Mode" means the computer always listens. Standard feature of my OS.

It's a lower-level natural language. Can you read it?

God I love image recognition.

Source. Ships as part of my operating system.

Whenever there is new code, one click suffices to get it.

In other news, I am looking for a part-time Java job (maybe). Anyway... something's gotta happen.
