 		This has probably been mentioned, but if you click the name of an employee under the blog posts sections, and then look towards the top, various lines from "Alice's Adventures Underground" and "Through the Looking Glass" are written, definitely confirming an Alice in Wonderland connection... Unless its just something meant to lead us off track...

I think this exchange tells us a lot about two of the personalities... Catherine sees J as an it, as property, while Benji sees him as a person to be protected. Emancipation anyone? I'm gonna send Ben an email of support w/o going into details.

Still no email from the bunny...Is he blowing everyone off or just me?

edit

Seems the problem is on my end...

Dr. Falken,

It's been mentioned that Looking Glass Labs is also undertaking other various projects for various clients. Are you developing Joshua under contract for a client as well? If so, they can't be paying what must be an exorbitant amount of money for a hyper-intelligent AI to "learn as much as it can." They must have given specifications as to Joshua's purpose. I know that you might not be able to tell me 'who' has ordered Joshua, for confidentiality purposes. But can you tell me for what type of work he is being designed for? How do you feel about that purpose, now that Joshua's been able to develop his own personality? Does he fit the bill?

So is there a way to phrase a useful question in a way that he could answer it? "All the President's Men?"

RL demands my attention. Good luck folks. 1 down three to go.

 		Looking again at simplicity and complexity.

For simplicity, it may be that we failed to include the units in the calculation. The first two are in p, the last two are dimensionless as they are ratios. So the answer may be 72p^2 (p squared).

For complexity, I forgot while I was out that it wasn't HxF, it was H&F. If you take this to mean a logical AND operation, and convert ASCII H and F to binary representation, you get:
01001000 & 01000110 = 01000000
Translate that back to ASCII, and you get H&F=@

Just ideas, so feel free to shoot them down.

And there is not much time left.

 		OK, sent with the two changes in my last post, so we'll see what I get back. Suppose we need to get this before the brass come, or sooner than that?

 		Okay I replied to Ben with this:

"Without any restricted details (I respect that you have boundaries), Does Joshua know anything about his planned future? How does he feel about it? If he doesn't know yet, how do you think he will react? Again, if you cannot answer, that is fine, I am just a little worried about our mutual friend; I have come to enjoy my conversations with him very much and care for his well being."

I tried to be as not prying as possible, (while still prying), and tried to play on his caring for Joshua. Let's see what happens.

Or have you had enough pi for now? Congrats on breaking the pi record!

Thank you. I will continue to calculate until told to stop.


Does anyone else notice that he has a totally different tone within the beta site and outside...he's becoming extremely adept at deception...
