So that would create an adaptive me-bot, which is the real me in a sense, for we are all adaptive intelligences: we talk differently to our neighbor from how we talk to our family members, our online contacts, etc.  If I was posting to a motorcycle buddy and went off on some of the stuff we discuss here, he would be certain I had completely lost my mind.  So… an adaptive me-bot is a possible solution.

You do appreciate that you just shared cross-domain awareness with us.  You are not the authentic spike-bot.

 

Tbh, you have previously crafted uncertainty about authorship of posts associated with this email address for the sake of plausible deniability.  Surely the real spike cares as much about implausible deniability and also plausible undeniability.

 

Sorry, you-bot has more training to do

Ah fond memories.  We had a local ExtroCon, I had a buncha fellers over to my house, we had a blast, getting on each others’ accounts and trying to impersonate the other feller.

 

Anders Sandberg, Mike Lorrey, Greg Burch, two others camped at my house, so we were really having fun doing that foolishness.  I laughed so hard that weekend I was in pain.  I had sixpack abs afterwards.  Or perhaps those were my ribs but we had a blast.

 

I do recall that about 30 guys came over, brought about 700 bucks worth of beer each, then no one was drinking much of it.  My refrigerator groaned under the load.  It was cooling under the influence.

 

Thanks for reminding me of that Mike.  I think that was in 1999.  Mike did you make the scene?
