D Language was chosen for its versatility. It is a language with 
high level syntax and low capabilities, as well as excellent 
performance and being open source.

Unnetworked personal mobile devices are the target platform for 
the standard implementation of OBI. A demonstration release is 
scheduled for the end of this month (September 2015). The 
demonstration release will comprehend English prose only, later 
releases will be able to process input from other languages, as 
well as sensory input.
OBI will be a mixture of open and closed source modules.

Umm... not that I would not like an AI like this written in D, but this
is probably the most extraordinary claim I have seen in some time. And
no extraordinary evidence seems to be available.

Also, points 4 - 8 scream SCAM! all around. Especially when there is no
credible research linked to the name of Asame Obiomah.

So, let's just hope that the linked page was not an attack vector and
this is not jsut an elaborate social engineering :-)

Scam?! I haven't asked you for a farthing, so what nonsense are 
you talking about?

Why not just wait until the end of September before you explore 
the limits of rudeness?
On my website there is a picture I claim to be of myself at a 
ceremony to receive an award from Microsoft. Surely, it isn't 
that much of a stretch to ask Microsoft if they ever gave a 
certain Asame Obiomah an award, is it?

After you have verified that, you can go a step further; no, go 
the whole hog; tell the police that someone is scamming the world 
with the term "patent pending" with which I refer to OBI at 
www.okeuvo.com. Surely, a "clever" sod like you would know that 
it is a crime to abuse the term "patent pending."

FYI most scams start without asking for money.  That usually comes later.

You build up a reputation and buzz around your mechanical turk or perpetual
motion machine or free energy device or whatever, then eventually make a
pitch to investors to back you.

The end of September is just 3 weeks away, the end result will 
speak for itself.
For now, lets just be concerned that its being written in D.

That's just an observation based on experience with projects that
promised the world, yet had not delivered. If your project turns out to
be different, I'll be the first to apologize.

I have never doubted that you are who you say you are. I am not even
doubting your award. Why would I? I am just saying that there is no
credible research with your name on it.

I do not know that. Then again, I most likely live in a different
country with different take on patents. Here it would probably be a
civil issue, not a criminal one. Also, in a world of software, patents
were awarded for a bunch of stupid things (see 1-click patent), so
having a pending patent does not say that much.

That's quite a large set of features, considering the site still says

Free will and consciousness?

... Not to be a jerk, but I thought we hadn't settled these 
problems yet as they apply to already existing sapient beings, 
which just happen to be us. I'm more amused than skeptical, to be

My thoughts exactly.

Reminds me of a (print) article I came across one time. It was about the 
idea of AI consciousness, but the whole article was based on one hell of 
a gigantic assumption: That consciousness is a natural consequence of a 
sufficiently large neural net. It's a fine and interesting idea, but 
PURELY speculative, with zero evidence and not even any way of testing 
for evidence since, like you say, we can't even figure out the first 
thing about consciousness as it relates to ourselves and each other, let 
alone to machines.

Given a large enough table one could encode perceived human 
behaviour with a lookup-table... So all we need is a computer 
program that itself claims to possess consciousness. Would that 
be a scam? Maybe Asame Obiomah is a computer program claiming to

Not really. A tabloid reader can be modeled like this:

immutable TabloidReader tr =
[
   hate:fear,
   fear:hate
];

immutable Opinion ifYouAskMe(gibberish statement)  safe
{
   in
   {
     assert(statement == bullsh*t);
   }
   out(result)
   {
     assert(result == AbsoluteBullsh*t);
   }
   body
   {
     return "I'm not racist, but " ~ statement;
   }
}

So you just need something that is a bit more sophisticated ;)

A final target platform has not yet been settled, the main thrust 
right now is for a successful demo. However phone OS's such as 
Android (especially) and iOS have the potential to throw up 
nightmare security issues, therefore might not be candidates. 
Also the platform will need to be unnetworked which might knock

The demo will be PC based, after which it will be optimised for a

Summary:
1. OBI uses big data
2. no network
3. portable

Conclusion:
OBI runs on a portable device with sufficient resources to 
process big data in realtime (I want OBI to answer immediately) - 
no laptop.

I am looking forward for such a device - I want it as least as 
fast as a XEON cpu, 32 GB+ RAM and a battery life of at least 
several hours.

I guess your demo will be some kind of console-based ELIZA.

Maybe we should create a new concept: Software from Nigeria.

You only need a fashionable looking website with lofty promises, 
some googlable discussion on a forum for some obscure programming 
language, a mention of patents pending, and maybe an interview on 
some 2nd rate tech site.

What else would you need for credibility to whet the appetite of 
amateur investors, lottery winners, or heirs.

It's about time TempleOS got a bit of competition. The 
"consciously self-aware, morally judging OBI" VS. "the OS that 
talks with God". One of them might even cry (using the Emotions 
0.91d module and the optional lawn sprinkler attachment).

Beware! The Holy Limit for TempleOS is 100.000 lines of code. I'm 
not exactly sure what happens when that limit is crossed, but 
I've heard that DMD is close.

It seems to me that at least 5, 6 are counter-productive, and go 
against the goals stated in your website. Nevermind how 
difficulty it would be to implement them, it seems like you 
haven't thought this through carefully enough.

On the other hand, I'm curious to know why you chose D to make 
this announcement?

Can you expand on why you say 5, 6 are counter-productive? Bear 
in mind that even in human society, free will itself is limited 
in a lot of ways; by laws, customs, traditions, emotions, 
patterns (eg form follows function) etc. It will be the same for 
machines.

I chose D because of its capabilities (previously stated) as well 
as something I did not mention in my initial post; D is an open 
source, community effort not controlled by any major corporation; 
as much as is possible, strong AI should be owned by all so that 
it does not become a menace (cannot be overemphasised).

On the shamelessly selfish side, the choice of D offers me the 
opportunity to finally learn D after skirting the prospect for a 
number of years. :)

There is also the possibility that certain plugins will be 

(LINQ) and is now open source too.

Obviously, he means low level, as opposed to "high level" ... 
close to the machine. I find it hard to imagine that anyone with 
an IQ higher than that of a turnip could fail to understand what 
he's saying there, or why he announced here (because, of course, 
it's a major project written in D).

While the claims are grandiose, implausible, and invite 
skepticism, this fellow seems to know more than many his critics, 
some of whom are pointlessly rude and verging on racism with talk 
of "Nigerian software". The sensible thing is to just wait and 
see, expecting nothing. Perhaps we'll all be wildly surprised.

There are computer games that present free will like behaviour: 
Little Computer People from the 80s and Creatures from the 90s. 
The latter used genetics and neural networks.

But first release by the last quarter of 2016 makes the 
announcement a bit premature.

The term has nothing to do with racism. See 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/419_scams
AFAIK, in Russia, my home, this type of scam is commonly known as 
"Nigerian letters": 
https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Нигерийские_письма
I assume you're an American, because Americans are obsessed with 
racism and overly sensitive in general, they like to bring such 
things up. Funny fact: in Russia, we call black people negros, 
and it's completely normal, just like calling Chinese or Georgian 
people asian. On the other hand, pointing out skin color _is_ 
racist here, no matter if it's black, yellow or white. All this 
stuff is completely culture-dependent, after all.

On the topic: I agree that being rude is not the way do discuss 
things, especially in an IT community (we strive to be smarter 
than the majority of people, don't we?). But I understand the 
skepticism in comments. Best scientists study inner workings of 
human brain and are working on theory of consciousness if you 
will, but current results are far from even understanding it 
completely, let alone building an AI.

And then GrandAxe pops up with this revolutionary software, 
claiming that Okeuvo company built an AI. However, that claim is 
not supported by anything and reminds me of the Unlimited Detail 
technology by Euclideon, which was announced in a similar manner, 
promising a revolution in graphics rendering. As you can see, 
it's far from it, despite the fact they were given $2 million by 
the Australian government. It seems like this revolution takes a 
little bit more effort, than was anticipated :)
And there's no reason to think Okeuvo's technology is different 
in that sense.

In general, I tend to not trust people, who claim that their 
technology _will_ do this and that, revolutionize something and 
so on. Show me a working technology first, sell it later. 
Otherwise it's nothing but promises, and I'm not interested in 
that, because everybody can create a website and make promises. 
This thread should be posted at the release date, with "will do 
something" replaced by "does something", supported by a working 
demo that anybody can download without giving up their social 
security number, sexual preferences and whatnot. And in this 
particular case, it should be also supported by scientific 
papers, since they claim to solve such a huge scientific problem 
of the 21th century.

Oh well, I believe Manu is working for Euclideon and would like 
to use D for their renderer if it was possible. I like what their 
tech-demos display, but the storage requirements suggest that it 
is more useful for specialized application domains than 
entertainment for now.

Sometimes it can be important to announce something just in order 
to get yourself focused on it, like a start pistol. Maybe 
GrandAxe has some ideas that will lead to something useful for 
end users even if the mechanisms might be simpler than we expect 
them to be.

He only seems to have announced it here and on reddit, so it 
let's assume he is only excited to get started on his mission and 
isn't conducting search engine optimizations by having back links 
from the forums.

Surprise, dlang hacker! :)
Let me guess: you'll spend all October and most likely much more 
time debugging your AI and the result will be far from what you 
promised, assuming you're just too naive and confident, and not 
trying to bullshit us. I'll be the first to apologize if you'll
