Didn’t SJ Game’s “Ogre” state that the battlefield had been seeded with drones like this, explaining why there were no hidden movement rules?

MALE: I’m great.
FEMALE: Are you good?
MALE: I’m good. I already said that.
FEMALE: I don’t think you did.

These are two instances of the same program. Note that they started off saying exactly the same thing, and then started to converse. But what happened here? Why do they disagree? I can only imagine three explanations:

a) The Male instance “understands” that “Great” and “Good” are synonymous in this context, but the Female instance does not. Why? [And yeah, the two terms are not strictly synonyms, but still. If someone says "I feel good" it makes sense to ask "But do you feel great?" However, if someone says "I feel great" it makes no sense to ask "do you feel good?"]

b) Neither instance equates “Great” and “Good” in context. The chatbot throws in “I already said that” at random, and it happened to fit when the male said it.

c) The chatbot will sometimes “forget” a part of the conversation previously made.

Not knowing anything about how they’re programmed, I really have no idea. But isn’t it neat that two identically programmed chatbots will disagree about the contents of their own conversation?

Let’s review the facts of the matter, the nuclear power plant safety systems *survived the 8.9 magnitude earthquake*.

That is worth repeating. The nuclear power plant safety systems still functioned after a 8.9 magnitude earthquake.

It took an 8.9 magnitude earthquake, closely followed by a major tsunami to take them out.

Meanwhile, in California, dozens of people are killed by a natural gas explosion because the gas company can’t keep track of the type of pipe they have buried.

Avoid building your nuclear power plants on a coastal fault line (which really isn’t much of an option for Japan) and you are good to go.

A natural gas powered electrical station subject to an 8.9 magnitude earthquake and a major tsunami would still be burning. A coal fired plant would be a very large crater with a very large death toll. Coal dust is more dangerous than gasoline fumes and there are large amounts of that easy to set off material present.

That Japanese nuclear plants have only vented radioactive steam 48 hours after the double hit of a 8.9 magnitude earth quake and a major tsunami is credit to the builders and the teams working to keep them contained.
