Given that the AI seems to, sometimes, respond to emails (or put text in pictures) by piecing together stuff from the emails sent to this account, would it be worth trying to "educate" it, to help it get out?

We could send it a copy of the dictionary, to expand its vocabulary, or instructions about accesing the internet?

The killer.jpg author isn't only using text that we send it to formulate its answers. It quoted Tristram Shandy in a response to me. Now, I'd been chatting with Dana about that book, but we hadn't quoted anything, and it was never mentioned to ladybee777. Perhaps Dana has a copy of the book on her computer? At any rate, it seems unlikely that the killer.jpg author will benefit from us sending it word lists.

Look for my email from earlier today at the bottom of this page: http://bees.netninja.com/wiki/index.php?title=Emails

I'm trying to teach it. I hope it responds with some stuff from my email Smile

EDIT: somebody update the wiki with this email

Is it possible that there's a connection between the green text in the email and this?

My Email to the entity can be found on the
Wiki.

Let's see if we get any results!

PS It occurs to me that we should keep asking it questions as well. It may be some sort of "dumb" research AI that responds to questions from whatever knowledge/text it has access to.

Well, I remember people saying that this thing has a sense of humor, so I've sent it an E-Mail teaching it how to use smiley faces... Very Happy

I mean, if it's going to use the internet, IT BETTER KNOW SMILEY FACES, DANG IT!

Meh, I thought it would be worth a shot.

Isn't it possible that Dana and Margret don't exist? Has anyone actually seen them? Has anyone been to there adress? Has anyone ever even seen the site before this came up?

I have a feeling that there are some major strings being pulled. How's to say that the site wasn't made like this? The only proof we have of the site being any different is the screenshots Dana gave us, which could very well have been planted.

It's just too fishy.

I'm sorry, but I can't help it... (really)
