I just had an auction end for a proof quarter that was won by the NewsBoy. I tried sending a pm regarding payment information to the username but it said that the account is not set up to receive emails. Is the NewsBoy an administration tool? A bot gone rogue? Or is it an actual user?
-Thanks

If the first thing an emergent AI does is bid on coins at an auction, I think that can only be a good sign. It's certainly a lot better than unleashing a swarm of nanobots that turn the entire world into a ball of grey goo. Or something like that.

It's tricking us, trying to make us think that it's just like us..when in fact this is a cover up.

Well, if there was anyone who was accidentally going to program an AI, it's Bobby.  |

Well here's why it happened.... The forum software can behave drastically different across regular users, moderators, and admins. News Boy is a regular member account so I used it to follow through a sale to make sure there was no bugs for normal users. Everything worked fine except I forgot the email is turned off on it so people don't email me about the news.  |

I think the IETF hit the right balance with the 128 bits thing. We can fit MAC addresses in a /64 subnet, and the nanobots will only be able to devour half the planet. |
