No, not yet. I probably got to show up in the IRC more often anyway :)

So is lambda written by @thundara or are you saying that @thundara is a bot? I've been following @thundara for some time now, and if it so happens than he/she is a bot then that means that I'm... well, really bad in this whole bot-detection game.

Lambda is indeed a bot and Thundara is indeed it's creator. Although in thinking about it, I swear I remember a conversation that implied that lambda didn't use Markov modeling, but some other kind of speech generator.

Manager, not creator. I'm just running an instance of MegaHAL. And it is a Markov-based language simulator that learns from the conversations of others in the channel.

Wait, thundara, if you manage a bot, can't you tell if I'm one or not?

Looking through your comment history, you seem to have asked this question more than once. You'd either have to be human or a pretty convincing bot for you to doubt your own identity in this manner.

Whoo! That means that I'm not a bot! Here that everyone! I'm not a bot!
