Hello Is anyone there? I've now talked to myself for 6 of the past 7 conversations starting this morning I'll probably only wait briefly before giving up I actually don't have long anyways.  I need to start cooking dinner before my wife gets home from work. So... I am just talking to myself again it seems
Ok can you explain what this thing even is for me?
hey!
I saw a poster about it in the Talmage and thought I'd check it out
yeah so basically you want to type a lot of words and have conversations with others the more words you type the more points you get.
Haha okay that's unfortunate because I'm actually in class and typing here on my phone during it
And the winner of each round gets an Ipad Pro and if you get 300 k points or more then you get entered into a raffle for a macbook pro oh yeah, it's difficult to do on the phone.
Do you think many people are doing it?
i'm just glad more people are participating I've literally talked to myself for like half of the chats so far this round So last round about 200 people participated.  This round only like 20 have participated so far.
Oh wow. So do you just like rant about random things to yourself then?
It's been going on for a week so far.  It'll keep going till the 19th and then the next round will start Yeah pretty much.. It looks absolutely ridiculous, but like you got to get points some how
Too bad it has to be coherent or else you could type random things
And if the other person doesn't respond it gets to be a little difficult yeah, I typically just talk about my day or about a CS project I'm working on. It's all quality stuff, but its a bummer when you have to talk to just yourself.
Hmm and they're using it as data to train some ai-type responder, right?
I've got to start cooking dinner in like 5 minutes just fyi
That's going to be a pitiful amount of data
So I'll probably have to go soon.
Ok no problem
yeah. I wish they would let us actually talk to Eve (the ai they're building)
Yeah I think that would make more sense
it would probably give them even better data then what they get with humans talking to humans or do a mixture, like half the time you talk to Eve and the other half you talk to a person.
That's actually what I thought it was which is why I even bothered to look it up
oh hahah Yeah, some false advertising brought you in
It's fine this class is super boring and I didn't bring my laptop
this is a great way to pass time in class honestly like if you've got nothing better to do then might as well do the chit chat challenge
Ok well I probably need to go too so have a good dinner Haha yeah
