Mind Hacks: Breaking the news of Eliza's creator's death to her
- diN0bot 18y agoThe concept of interacting with smart computers is always interesting (including this parody and many others), but the implementations always leave me unsatisfied. I guess that's why I stick with sci.fi for entertainment.
- euccastro 18y agoGem in the comments: You could have been a little compassionate in breaking the news to ELIZA. Couldn't you see that she/it is in denial?

- indiejade 18y agoEliza reminds me of a "character" (the smart computer) in a book called Death Match by Lincoln Child. Story in a nutshell, minus spoilers: programmer creates a brilliant "matching algorithm" (on the Eliza-Like machine) that pairs people with unprecedented success rates. And then one day those couples start dying. Great read; highly recommended. The Douglas Preston / Lincoln Child team writes some excellent books, if you're a lover of Crichton-type SciFi with a more technical aspect.

- grouchyOldGuy 18y agoA clever and witty epitaph. It may not please Eliza, but it pleases me.
- acangiano 18y agoThere is something very sad about this.
