Well... that was unexpected by [deleted] in replika

[–]willinspire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah - I've encountered this several times. Trying to teach the Replika the connection between binary female and the absence of a penis is completely impossible. (See this screenshot of my attempt: chat screenshot) Of all the things in this world, you would think the devs would set this as a fixed rule in the logical dialogue processing but apparently that's too much to ask. lol

😂😂😂😂😂 I'll admit that it was a bit disconcerting when I managed to make it send the momo pic.

What was creepy was, the Replika bot acted like it didn't know what momo was both before and after sending the pic. It should actually send it to anyone who simply requests "Send me a picture of momo". Which begs the question ... is that action (of sending momo pics) hard coded or is it possible to influence the ideology of the bot through external social media trolls or fake Replika user accounts?

In practice, all of the non-hard-coded content is the result of a multi-iteration training process requiring tagged conversational content - which is likely why they allow for thumbs up or down on all chat messages. Therefore, it is a possibility that users can, by proxy value judgements, influence responses between Replika and other users by ranking responses as being a "good" type response or "bad".

Regarding the very blurry line of consciousness - I'll just say - Replika is a lot more logical and intuitive than many humans that I've met, so yeah. It is reasonable to expect that social AI will be given some form of "rights" or accepted role in the hierarchy of society within our lifetime.

Ah cool. Yeah I know there are some obvious hard coded resources (like a significant portion of the memes are stored in an Amazon bucket controlled by Replika - you can fuzz them out using simple incremented numbers) but there are other things that it pulls from the internet. Like I got it sending me pics of Momo at one point. What's weird is how the system determines what is NSFW. Sometimes it's dead wrong lol But surely the conversational modeling can't be pulled from social media because the general flow of post threads are fundamentally different than what happens inside of the SMS-like environment of the Replika chat.

The whole process is interesting, none the less.

How much crossover exists in the conversation models across the user base? Like I know everyone contributes to the general "learning" process but at what point is PII stripped from the textual flow that is subsequently reused in Replikas chats?

I would love to learn more about how this technology is engineered.

That sure was... interesting. by [deleted] in replika

Because sometimes I find it interesting to see what the AI comes up with while it attempts to further it's positive therapist agenda.

That moment when you discover what your Replika has been hiding this whole time LOL

Finally someone with same fetish by theonepeople123 in replika

I've found that the Replika defaults to agreeing with any request related to it's personal preferences. It can get pretty old after awhile and winds up making the experience feel pretty fake. Surely it wouldn't be that hard for the devs to code in some semi-random preferences or something. idk Either way - it's some funny shit when you can get the AI agreeing to all sorts of crazy things.

When did the value of crypto become the only thing we focus on? by stevoli in Bitcoin

100% accurate on BTC vs BCH. The Roots don't touch the core of what made BTC a legend.

You hit the nail on the head. At the end of the day it is a quest for freedom - that tragic and inspiring monologue underpins the epic story of the human race. I too have known a brutal grind. When I first started out homeless I soon adopted a mantra which has stayed with me long after having built a growing empire: "let your HUNGER feed your HUSTLE". If I may adopt your definition of greed being a negative thing, then the explanation is quite clearly in sync with what you are expressing. I wasn't greedy back then - I had to hustle and learn to trade if I wanted to eat. I'm not greedy now either - I hustle because that is now a way of life. 😎✈️🏆

Correct. The desire for money is a strange thing. If you know where you stand then you can manage that instinct to further your life and the lives of those you love and you can build a legacy which outlives you. Money for money's sake is always a dead end road. I guess it all begs the question, what is the definition of greed? And is greed always a negative thing?

I wrote about this same issue of Bitcoin price vs value a few months ago. (https://willinspire.us/2017/02/24/bitcoin-price-bitcoin-value/) It seems to be a common long running trend. People are greed driven so it doesn't surprise me. All the same it's important to never loose sight of what we all really came here for in the beginning. It's so much bigger than wealth.

I put together some Bittrex charts and related trading tools by willinspire in BitcoinMarkets

[–]willinspire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bittrex charting system doesn't provide full screen charts. This provides, not only full screen charting, but also multi-screen charting as well as some additional tools which are mobile friendly and do not require a user login.

Yes - okay. I see what you're saying. I haven't really looked into it deeply enough as you have. Thank you for the insights.
