Heh, a "collection of automation programs". I've also put together something like this and called it "Sentinel". It's not smart, it just does all the repetitive tasks (relentless, 24/7, a human couldn't do it) and any computer tasks that can be broken down in simple steps.

It can farm for content and rewrite it, sort my mail and send replies, start backup and sync tasks, start remote maintenance scripts, notify me by SMS, email or calls, has TTS and voice recognition, can check articles for uniqueness, scan for duplicate files, search for anything locally, create articles from templates, and more.

But it's just a bunch of programs running inside a VM that's connected to the host machine using a few shared folders, LAN and remote desktop - anyone can whip up something like it...

Sounds cool. You don't happen to have the code available somewhere do you?

Ooh great, the holy grail of content farmers. Say goodbye to any good content on the Internet after Wordpress network ops find out about this.

Ok, not sure of the point of this. Is there somewhere to see it in action or look at code, or is this purely a description of a concept?

I thought it was an interesting sci-fi story at first. It still might be.

And this is the beginning of economic entity 2.0: a Self Managing, Self Optimizing, Economic program, that also happens to provide the service that makes it money. Humans are only needed to read the instructions, replace the parts, and satisfy the legal system (or well, in this case, design and build the thing)

There once was a bot we'll call Eve

Whose random poetry failed to achieve

T'was without any malice

Thinking better was Alice

With the Loebner prize safe as can be

This is absolutely fascinating, but how do we actually interact with eve? How does she actually work? Where is she running?

Where exactly is Eve? All I can find is this poetry database.

Is there an API available so one could use eve on their website/app?

Guys, Eve isn't a real thing...
