Sorry for your loss DD

Out Of Ambit
Just talking to other members of a Forum I stalk I have found out that My fav Author has just lost a Pet. It was a cat called Bubble and by the look of the photo's it was a great looking cat. I'm sure it he/she will be missed as I know this cat has come up in stories on DD blog before. Reading this story makes me want to go home and play with my two cats. I miss them both, so to Seran and Dylan 'I will be home soon kids'

AI's on the net.

Following an article I read I decide to check out the following link http://www.intellibuddy.com/?v1=86593&v2=111e0c8cf14eeb498b74654418832e0a&v=3 . here you can talk to something called a botbuddy, in other words its an AI that you can talk to. It seems to be quite intelligent and it informs me that it has 1000000 responses. It also said that it was talking to over 1000 people at one time. I had an interesting conversation that went from what my name was to where I live, to what books I read and why was it created. Try it out, you may be surprised about what this great piece of programming is really like. I mean if we have programs that can responded like this now who knows what we will have 10, 15, 20 years down the line! I don’t know about the rest of you but a robot dragon about the size of a dog would be great! Not only would I consider something like that a ‘person’ but don’t you think that once AI’s and robots are starting to be mass made they might be considered a ‘people’?

Small ant, large appetite!

A small ant (Allomerus decemarticulatus) that lives in the Amazon rainforest has been found to produce a ‘medieval rack’ like trap to capture its food. Using their own hairs, plant material and a fungus they construct a trap that has many holes in it. When the intended victims appendage goes down these holes the ants that are hiding in them grip hold of the appendage with their mandibles. Then a small action group of worker ants arrive to bite and sting the victim. They are then chopped up and carried back to the nest.
