Orchestra 15; Night [Voice post]

( He's not really one to beat around the bush. Or introduce himself, apparently. But hey, at some point in the evening a voice rings out over the ICP. A few people may recognize it but its likely new to the majority. )

After some deliberation, I think it might be worthwhile to discuss amongst ourselves the previous day's occurrence. I've prepared some tea for anyone who wishes to discuss in person, but please feel free to discuss through this as well. Find me in the dining car if you wish the former.

(( ooc: Please feel free to action here cause I ain't gonna make another thing just for logs LOL -- ICP replies more than welcome, too. ))

Not yet, at least. It doesn't seem to enjoy giving answers, does it?

[schrodingersghost]

Not so far. But hey, its not like that's anything new.

[stonefvced]

( An audible sigh. ) And you've been here some time, have you?

[schrodingersghost]

More than a year now.

[stonefvced]

I take it nothing much has changed since then.

[schrodingersghost]

In the big picture? Not really. Lots of little things have changed.Like how many passengers there are and how many cars we have.

Has it been established if the train itself is something more sentient or mechanical in its intelligence? ( At this point, he's just gathering information. Sating his curiosities. AI doesn't really exist in his world although computers, in the newer age, do. So hopefully that translates in a way that makes sense to the young man. He's heard just from listening something about Artificial Intelligence but its best to ask directly, he thinks. ) Less or more people?

[Danny frowns, a little confused by the question.]

Does it matter? I mean, intelligent is intelligent.

[Another moment to think.] Well, there are a lot more people here now than when I arrived. But I think there are less now than there used to be.

( He's a little confused by the confusion, truthfully. But no matter. The answer is easy enough. It's simply you can't talk to a computer the same way you can something more like them. It's no judgment but he explains simply: ) As a way to understand how it functions; how to speak to it.

( As for the other answer. Well, it may not matter but its something to keep in his mind. Given there have been recent discussions about the loosening of tethers. He'll give a hum. Deciding to share another thought. ) Whether it's response of compiling questions for answers has a motive behind it or if its simply how it needs to function.

[schrodingersghost]

You can't just speak to it?

[ Danny wasn't really getting the difference. Then again, most of his experience with AI came from fighting a technology obsessed ghost or overshadowing video games himself. Or some of his parents more annoying inventions.

Ectoplasm could have strange effects on technology.]

Huh. I just figured it wanted time to think. Or to not have to answer the same question over and over.
