Johnysky, why don't you let us nickname these nebuals for ease of remembrance? We could name them after some illustrious men.
For the lagoon nebula, I suggest we nickname it 'Oba Rilwan Akiolu1'

Teempakguy:

Still waiting for the horsehead nebula and the crab nebula.


And pillars of creation, Dubai of the universe. I hope they have shopping mall over there abeg. I've got this new girl.

Methinks anitspambot is really bent on frustrating johnysky today oh.

Ujsizzle, unbann this guy joor.

Just because it's owners seem to have a certain disposition towards a section, it's starting to do the same. Isn't that quite appaling?

Teempakguy, have you ever thought about this: that Nairaland's anti spam-bot is actually a very very advanced robot. Something as advanced as Honda's Asimo?

Teempakguy:
Honda's asimo?
Oh no, i don't think so at all. I think it's just a rather simple algorithm designed to restrict access to Nairaland (banning) when a poster adds a great number of posts on the same thread.
I think of just finds the average posts per person on a section and then bans anyone who deviates too far from the mean.
As you can see, it doesn't learn from it's mistakes. And it doesn't contribute.
If asimo's software were here, it would be a very active nairalander.
Without all the pesky voice recognition to deal with, we'd fall in love with it's pure intelligence. Heck, it would fetch links for those plagiarism freaks that do steal articles. I recall misssclassy used to do that.

And we could teach it to be funny and stuff. Naija tinz.

No be small thing ooo... the thing just nak me ban after Orion nebula on my main acct Johnydon22. .i had to resort using my second account that i haven't touched since i opened it... Ujsizzle abeg sharp sharp. . .The spam bot banned me from my wife science section, e good?

Actually, likening Nairaland's anti spam-bot to Asimo was nothing but an attempt at rebuke. The gap between them, undoubtedly, is wider than the Suez Canal.

Could you explain that voice-recognition stuff you think we'd have a problem with?

And, about _missclassy, I'm quite surprised; I thought I was the only one who thought that some robots were prgrammed to type in blue ink.

PS: Teempakguy, are you aware that before this anti spam-bot, there used to be a bot named Pyguru. This bot had an account and contributed to discussions on the forum. Well, it still has the account: www.nairaland.com/pyguru

Teempakguy:

Creepy!

Is that really a bot or just a troll?

Anyway, about _missclassy. Don't let her catch us oh. She has volatile circuits.

Ah yes, about the speech recognition. Well, in the real world, asimo invests a lot of processing power just to understand humans speaking. Also walking.

But here, in the cyber world, it would be robot heaven. Everything can be expressed in codes. The internet is nearby, meanings of words can be checked, reused, oboi, e go learn sotay . . . imagine something like the matrix.

Obviously, the height of the folly in Pyguru's posts clearly decipt that the brain behind them is that of a mentally deranged fellow, a description which would easily own up to a troll's own, but I believe it would be more accurate to say that the brain behind the posts is that of a poorly programmed bot and not that of a mentally deranged fellow. Initially, I thought Pyguru a troll until I realized it issued bans. Infact, in it's days it was equally as notorious, if not a bit more than it's cousin, the present anti spam-bot.

Take a look at this:
www.nairaland.com/1037202/pyguru-he-dumb

Typing it's name in the search bar leaves you with more revelations about it.

Volatile circuits? Do you mean that she's a volcano waiting to erupt?

Wow! I didn't know that much about it. Say, have you by any chance watched this Indian movie, Robot?

Teempakguy:
wow, I have indeed researched. And it's quite weird. Such a program should be allowed to freely roam the site and learn. If it's algorithm is a deep learning one of course.
That's it, I'm going to go find my own deep learning software and unleash it here.

quite so! I suspect she was programmed to lash out at opposing views. It's like, an experiment gone bad. Trying to make a robot with emotions. . . you get one with anger issues.

yes indeed. I watched the movie, and that tech is not far away at all. In the next twenty years, we will have enough tech to build a similar machine. But it will be too
expensive to function as a lady's body guard.
Not to mention it charging from a transformer. Naija that doesn't have enough light. If they curse him with juju ehn!
