Chat live with prelude – use bitcoins

Today we released a live online version of Prelude, the self-learning chatbot. Using bitcoins[1] you can anonymously sign up and instantly chat with Prelude. A variety of incredibly rich background themes set the tone for your conversations with Prelude’s evolving virtual being. Prelude’s algorithm learns constantly from user interaction and uses real-world quantum fluctuations to improve her responses. Enjoy the coolest (creepiest?) artificial chat bot on the planet.

Thank’s go to Ayumi Cassini who brought Prelude to a new arena. Just wondering if the bots are still alive? Makes you wonder where else Prelude’s engine is being used.
