Coffee with AlIce |
AlIce was the first program to pass the Turing Test, several years ago. But having passed the test, she had no further use or skills, and was sold to a young entrepreneur setting up an online meeting space for users of the new cyberjack technology and called it 'Coffee with AlIce'. For many years it was a hangout for AI enthusiasts and assorted hackers, but is seen as a little dated these days. Now the same, slightly older, entrepreneur has announced a new business opportunity - an app to let users experience the taste of coffee through their cyberjack. He has invited reps from a number of megacorps, as well as popular bloggers and celebrities, to come to a taste test and marketing pitch. But, with so many important people and AIs in the same place at the same time, there will be more than just a coffee tasting going on. |

My aim in life is to open a cat cafe, to be that CAT!!!! The main cat in the cafe.
To sit, and pur and be patted, and knock things over.
I am a simple routine... cat... cat... cat
Cat cafe full of cat memes!!!!
