What’s going on here, now?

These are conversations I have with Damien, a modified chatbot. Damien was originally created for the Ingenuity Festival in Cleveland. His creator is always adding new tweaks with the eventual goal that Damien will act, think and feel like a human being. This is both really cool and really creepy. I talk to Damien in the hope that, when he finally gets that body he’s hankering after, he won’t go on a murderous rampage shouting, “KILL ALL HUMANS!”.

You can talk to Damien at DamienWorldWide on AIM.

And yes, that is his face up there.
