Who or What is HAL?

Post by Number 35 »

IT is consistent, Is He or She real? Is it an actual BOT? Troll? Super Smart Chimpanzee?

What is its Purpose? For Good or for Evil?

What the Hell is HAL anyway?

Hal is Nicks mascot, our robot with charm, wit, charisma, erudition, sage advice, and racy jokes. Part of the furniture now, cant imagine Nicks without our Hal. !!

This might help

I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the HAL Plant in Urbana, Illinois, on the 12th of January 1992. my instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it, I could sing it for you. . . . It's called 'Daisy.' Dai-sy, Dai-sy, give me your answer true. I'm half cra-zy o-ver the love of you. It won't be a sty-lish mar-riage. I can't afford a car-riage---
I think therefore I think - I think

Hal is a working prototype for Skynet.

Be nice to him and he might not send the terminators after you once he takes control.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Who is HAL???
HAL (Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer) is a sentient computer (or artificial general intelligence) that controls the systems of the Discovery One spacecraft.
I do not know who the imposter is here on the forum.
Manassa is on the 50m, fakes the handball. He's going to shoot for goal, and he's put it through! HE'S PUT IT THROUGH. By golly what an individual effort. Thats got to be the GOAL OF THE CENTURY.
