Or, ‘How to break Cleverbot in two simple non-binary steps.’ So I thought I would have a chat with Cleverbot, an AI (artificial intelligence) bot. It started off simply enough:
Cleverbot: What are you? User: A human. Cleverbot: Define human. User: Homo sapiens, a medium-sized land-dwelling mammal. Cleverbot: Ok then. User: What should I do today? Cleverbot: Cartwheels.

Evie wrote a new blog post: A farcical way to fund women’s services 2 years, 2 months ago · View
The Home Office (UK) is running a pilot participatory budgeting scheme to fund projects responding to violence against women and girls. More information from a local student newspaper here.
