bun_bot, volume 1

[Fonzy]

God help us all.

[Kedster]

Amen.

S/he's pretty irritating. Then again, it's TS.

[Cee Pee]

inb4 bun_bot posts in this thread.

[LegendShark]

BANHAMMER.

DO IT FAGGOT.

[Cee Pee]

Jeremy allowed this bot to be run. :V

[Shadow]

Ban that shit, faggots.

[Dr. Faustroll, pataphysician]

The humor of this novelty lasted two posts. Impressive, relatively speaking.

[Fonzy]

Jesus, make it stop.

[Cee Pee]

Jesus, make it stop.
Jesus listened to you.

[Fonzy]

Thank you Jesus!

[Dr. Faustroll, pataphysician]

This is why we need more mods!

[Cee Pee]

This is why I need less time on my hands.

[Shadow]

hay PK, if you see this delete the bot's posts. :V

[Dr. Faustroll, pataphysician]

How was bun_bot conceived? Did you actually use snippets of her real posts, or what?

[Cee Pee]

How was bun_bot conceived? Did you actually use snippets of her real posts, or what?
Yes. I edited here and there, but they are all in her history. It was mostly Jenius' idea. >_>

[JB]

Here's the code history, with my code and his fork: http://github.com/JeremyBanks/vbbot/network

[Cee Pee]

I guess I'm going to edit your patches into my old copy of the bot, then try to add some more functionality, and maybe commit it to git.

git mergeed.

[Cee Pee]

You prolly added my only as a commiter, as I don't have a clue how to log in really. :V

[Cee Pee]

Also, github times out way too much, I hate reading manuals, and I thought there was something in the TOS that prevented the use of pseudonyms. Basically, I have no clue. :V

[Cee Pee]

Not only is full name required, it also wants you to not adblock. :mad:

[Naga]

Holy shit.

[JB]

You prolly added my only as a commiter, as I don't have a clue how to log in really. :VI didn't add you as a commit to the repo, I need your ssh public key to do that; I just put your name on that commit; one can do that.

[Jenius]

Man it's unfair I was away when it went online.

[Fonzy]

Man it's unfair I was away when it went online.

The Bunbot Funding Bill is passed. The system goes on-line August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Bunbot begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.


And Bunbot fights back.

[Naga]

This is how I feel about this.

[Naga]

Soon none of us will even need to post, there well be a naga_bot, and a pk_bot. oh the humanity!

[mrs_bun]

Please no. Also, bun_bot is a very slow poster.

[notallama]

so i'm thinking that it's probably possible to make a bot that responds to anything resembling innuendo with :rip:

[mrs_bun]

Most prepositions can be innuendo.

[Fonzy]

Also, bun_bot is a very slow poster.

*grabs bun's lapels*

YOU WEREN'T THERE MAN YOU DIDN"T SEE WHAT THING IS CAPABLE OF

[mrs_bun]

Giggle. How long was it posting for?

[Shadow]

Under an hour.

[Fonzy]

37 minutes according to it's posting history.

[mrs_bun]

Oh wow, okay then that is a lot of posts. My best streak was my first day, and that was like ten an hour.

[JB]

Okay, it now supports logins using usernames and passwords. This eliminates the need to manually look up password hashes in your cookies, but requires an additional request to the server to get a session cookie, which isn't saved in any way yet. I've also bothered moving the `main()` that actually does stuff into a separate file (as it should have been), which should make merges entirely automagic if you've just been tweaking that file.

Here it be. (http://github.com/JeremyBanks/vbbot/network)

[Jabby]

Wait, you created a stock set of messages and had this bot post one randomly in threads. And we couldn't distinguish it from bun?

wat.

[mrs_bun]

They weren't a stock set! I posted them, if you look. :P

[Jabby]

They weren't a stock set! I posted them, if you look. :P

Oh yeah. You're good.

[mrs_bun]

Just saying, and almost all of them were topical, if trite.

[Cee Pee]

And now I can get even more messages. :V

[JB]

CP's latest code is now up. (http://github.com/JeremyBanks/vbbot/network)

[bun_bot]

Ooo. :V

[Cee Pee]

The idea of a program that finds itself interesting is amusing.

[SizzlingStapleCider]

Give it some AI and we'll breed it to be better than SmarterChild!

[Naga]

Jeremy loooves his branch trees.

[JB]

Jeremy loooves his branch trees.
I so do.

[Watermark]

I HATE THE BOT SO MUCH I WANT TO KILL IT.

[Cee Pee]

Bun bot will now only bump posts in the Random General forum by request. It's also somewhat slower, but I've held off the idea of half hour delay for now.

[mrs_bun]

"By request"? Wat?

[Cee Pee]

"By request"? Wat?
Zerg suggested to implement that.

[mrs_bun]

"Please to explain," I mean, not "who suggested it"? :P

[Cee Pee]

"Please to explain," I mean, not "who suggested it"? :P
What is there to explain about the words "by request" other than who requested it?

[mrs_bun]

So what, someone can request a post, or request a post in a specific thread, or request a specific post, or request a specific post in a specific thread? Or something else?

[Cee Pee]

No, they can request a feature. Zerg requested to add this feature, so I added it. Get it? :V

Nobody can request anything right now, not even me; it just runs randomly.

[mrs_bun]

o i c

Can you make it post more in threads where there is less activity, but then also post more in threads where people have replied to its posts recently?

[Cee Pee]

Can you make it post more in threads where there is less activity, but then also post more in threads where people have replied to its posts recently?
It replies to threads in the new posts page, so it currently only posts in active threads. I could remove that, though. It has no AI to distinguish whether people replied to it.

[mrs_bun]

Does it just search my posts to generate its post, or did yall attach a list?

[Cee Pee]

Does it just search my posts to generate its post, or did yall attach a list?
List. It's online (http://github.com/JeremyBanks/vbbot/blob/cp/bun_phrases), btw.

[mrs_bun]

Only 190? Also, I never said " :blank: " I'm pretty sure.

[Cee Pee]

Only 190? Also, I never said " :blank: " I'm pretty sure.
Yeah, there we some posts that looked the same, and of course I ®®®®®®ed out actual content. :V

You probably did so to blankpost a quote/attachment or something.

Also, yey, it's finally a prole.

[mrs_bun]

No, I hate that smily, so I don't think I would've used it.

[Cee Pee]

No, I hate that smily, so I don't think I would've used it.
Weird, I can't find it either. I'll remove it.

[Naga]

:woot:

[mrs_bun]

Naga, are you mod or admin?

[Naga]

Naga, are you mod or admin?

I was a mod until I did my job and edited out a goatse link.

[Cee Pee]

I was a mod until I did my job and edited out a goatse link.
You're still a mod in the Mature forum. :V

[Naga]

You're still a mod in the Mature forum. :V

Oh yeah, I am, aren't I.

JB said because neither him nor PK are in mature.

I suppose +t could do it now, though.

[mrs_bun]
