gollark: ```No, I'm not interested in developing a powerful brain. All I'm after isjust a mediocre brain, something like the president of American Telephoneand Telegraph Company. -- Alan Turing on the possibilities of a thinking machine, 1943.```
gollark: Anyway, the most promising approach for sort of bodging a future-reminder system is either just guessing likely messages (probably won't work, people aren't that predictable if they're saying more than just "no" or "yes", though I guess any message in <#481655540976451584> is fairly likely to be said again), or trying to force people to conform to the predictions.
gollark: Well, the new Python version is.
gollark: AutoBotRobot is programmed to *not* destroy the universe, you know.
gollark: *Universe* will be destroyed?
