The Cornell Creative Machines Lab works with A.I. chatbots – “machines designed to convince the user into thinking that the machine is human.” In the course of their work they wondered what might happen if they introduced two chatbots to one another.
They ended up sounding like a lot of rude humans sound on the internet! LOL!
AI vs. AI. Two chatbots talking to each other
"I'm not a robot. I'm a unicorn."

So the concert was a blast. The opening act was Leroy Powell and the Messengers, a power blues trio, and they were pretty good!
I Ain't Human
Sheryl Crow lived up to my every expectation (except for the small quibble that her set was too short), and I even found Kid Rock more entertaining than I expected.
However, when Kid Rock drew the audience in and asked, "Do you still believe we live in the greatest country in the world?", the voice of my inner cynic popped into my head and said, "Greatest at what? Patting ourselves on the back?"
Sometimes I wish that voice would shut up.

Watching the Best of CBC, and I've determined francophone prime ministers are the best.
Shit in policy, but at least they're hilarious. They should footage of Pierre Trudeau freaking out under Peter Mansbridge's manly stare, sobbing and admitting to an affair with Margaret Thatcher.

Family reunion up in Maryland with some fantastic steamed crabs, which totally made up for the fact that my family practically forced me to participate in their cornhole tournament. Also "Frisbeer" (or whatever the hell the game's actual name happens to be) isn't nearly as fun when you are the designated driver.

Actually kid rock is right, after all it does have Wisconsin in it, and sure the other states suck but Wisconsin more than makes up for it:P

I started following a character on Facebook who started a page called "Wisconsin has been out-drinking your state since 1848." The other day he posted a bit of bitching because he got a DUI. That was funny.
I love me some Wisconsinites, but Wisconsin leads the nation in a lot of things, and not all of them are good.
The saving grace of Wisconsinites is that they aren't always bragging about how great their state is for no reason ... otherwise they'd be Texans.
*waiting for the reaction*

Speaking of which, I found out a girl I work with is from Texas, I had no clue. She doesn't have a silly accent at all, I am disappoint.
Now I keep waiting for her to say something stereotypically Texan (aside from her Obama bashing) in a funny way.
And now I wonder if Americans do that when they listen to me. Versus expressed some disappointment that I don't say aboot, but gets a huge kick out of the way I say "Oregon".

Saya, I've always had people ask if I was from a different country because I don't have an accent or hold what people think are 'typical' Texan views. I don't like cowboys/girls or country music(I do love horses, though).
Ben was just trying to get a rise, but instead I give him a raspberry!

I still swear that I've never heard a canadian say "aboot". I can't lie, I use "eh" fairly frequantly, but the aboot thing I just don't understand.

Mum eating her first proper meal in nearly three weeks. Might not sound much but she hasn't been able to eat and has been living off nutritional shakes from the doctor, toast and yoghurt. Seeing her eat an actual meal is ace.

That is really good news! Not only is that a sign that she is making good progress and a step towards normalcy but it is also a great morale booster (for you and for her).
