In the 1970s computer users had to understand the arcane syntax of th…
…e machines they used. They programed their computers using the machine's native language and hardly gave it a thought.
The 1980s birthed a new form of interaction between computers and users. For the first time computers became capable of understanding the most basic form of human communication - pointing and grunting. The mouse and the GUI revolutionized computing and made computers accessible to the masses.
We have now entered a third era. We are rapidly approaching a time when computer systems will understand human language and respond using the most natural form of human communication – speech.
This is an important development. Some might even call it revolutionary.
Despite its importance, however, the technologies that will underpin this new method of interaction are the property of major tech firms who don't necessarily have the public's best interests at heart.
Not anymore.
Meet Mycroft – the worlds first open source natural language platform. Mycroft understands human language and responds with speech. It is being designed to run on anything from a phone to an automobile and will change the way we interact with open source technologies in profound ways.
Our goal here at Mycroft is to improve this technology to the point that when you interact with the software it is impossible to tell if you are talking to a human or a machine.
This initial release of the Mycroft software represents a significant effort by the Mycroft community to give the open source world access to this important technology. We are all hoping that the software will be useful to the public and will help to usher in a new era of human machine interaction.
Our community welcomes everyone to use Mycroft, improve the software and contribute back to the project. With your help and support we can truly make Mycroft an AI for everyone.

I wish the developers would see this thread. They should integrate something like "Betty", but written in C, not ruby
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7696200
Just imagine!
>>54654705
I have Betty starred on Github long time now and know what it does, but I don't see how integration with Mycroft would work. How did you imagine that?
>>54654858
Like betty, at first should aim to be a command line helper. Things like "bro", "fu", "howdoi" are some command line helpers that provide with examples of scripts and whatnot.
In could suggest anything more than that, we being realistic, starting as a command line helper is the best idea and growing functionality from that is a natural process which will happen.
>>54654919
Sorry for the bad grammar, I typed fast.
>>54654935
Yes, I'm thinking of natural language programming, but that is a long shot. Command line examples are doable and can grow a lot if you create the base for people to build from that.
Just use C.
Can't you just take an existing language and make lots of key words synonyms?
It might not get you to a CSG but it's a bit closer if you want something even more braindead than python if you can't remember keywords
>>54655079
C++
Define everything.
>>54655005
>can grow a lot if you create the base for people to build from that
Isn't this exactly the point of Mycroft?
Modular as fuck and works with natural langauge.
I am sure that it could be easily modified to output text into command line instead of speakers.
It already outputs text of what it says into terminal window, just with lot of other stuff.
As of input, you can already use command line instead of microphone. instead of "./start.sh voice" you run "./start.sh cli"
>>54655096
+1 Mycroft is the base of something great.
Just add translation from voice to CLI commands and vice versa. Will help debugging and further development.
Picture Jarvis, in some scenes it seemed it had access to CAD. Now, don't fucking think in adding that now, but if you have an interface from voice commands to scripting commands maybe someday.
FreeCAD already has scripting integrated btw.

Quit trolling, GPLv3 prevents that. See:
I am going to redpill you about the GPL before the paid trolls.
Some cucks (among many we have) are trying to promote BSD, MIT, Apache and other licenses because they are hired by corporations that can make privative software thanks to those licenses by putting some closed source on top and fuck everyone else.
For example, Darwin is an operative system in which Apple collaborates with the "open source" community. Because it is a BSD derivative, Apple uses that operative system and put it some closed source bits and call it OS X.
Sure, you can use Darwin, but is crippleware, is of much lesser quality. And Apple is not even full fascist here, they at least have some degree of cooperation. Microsoft on the other hand in the 90's spread memos about how to fuck up Linux and the free as in freedom community. Is called "embrace, extend, extinguish". See for yourself:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend_and_extinguish
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween_documents
If you were in charge of Microsoft, and you had no ethics, what would you do knowing that you could harm the free software community just by reusing "open source" software in your favor, put some bells and whistles, and extinguishing the original product?
I beg you consider the GPL and LGPL over everything else. One can't possibly know what is being used under the hood of many privative software, and you never know when something "open sourced" sometime ago is now part of closed source software.
Even the LGPL, because you can have a fully functional application in LGPL which someone can cut off the interface, put a privative interface to it and deprecate any other interface by changing the API (systemd?).

>>54657363

>>54657363
Not b8ing, you seem to know your stuff.
Say I have this (let's call the parts of the code by letters)
>A is under a GPL license.
>B is under a closed source restrictive license.
>C is MIT.
>D is something of my own.
I make x change to A and y change to C, such that Ax -> A' and Cx -> C'
I leave B as it is, and I program D.
So I am left with
>A', B, C', D = Product
Under the GPL license, do I have to:
>a. Release A'
>b. Release the whole program
>c. Something else
>>54657363

Microsoft could easily just wait for NEET turboautists to finish their project for them, then change the license to "microsoft owns everything" and remove the repo altogether

Of course thank you. That's pretty fair, maybe instead of hating on the GPL I should've done some research.

If someone makes a project under GPL and it gets forked, then the original owner suddenly makes it proprietary, what happens to the fork?
>>54657497
>starts selling your work
Doesn't that kind of shit cause insta-fork?
For example OpenOffice was forked into LibreOffice at slightest chance of Oracle fucking whole thing over.

>>54657573

>>54657594
Stays GPL. All changes released under the GPL stay that way.
>>54657594
the original code used in that fork, follows the original's new license
the new code written for the fork remains GPL (or whatever compatible license the fork used)
>>54657619
>>54657628
followed by fork's authors rapidly scrambling to replace the now-proprietary parts of their project with GPL alternatives, without getting sued
see: openJRE & android JRE
>>54657666
Nice paranoia, why don't you use that imagination thinking the million was BSD license shits on the developer itself.
Better yet, why don't you use that energy of yours reading GPLv3 instead of trolling.
You know what would be really cool? If you could connect it to a 3D printer to make some shit through CAD like >>54655186

DESU Mycroft isn't first open source one.
There is Jasper that is supposed to be used on Raspberry Pi, but I found it hard to get it running and hard to add additional functionality.
Then there is Sirius (now called Lucida) which seems to be better but takes shitload of space.
Mycroft seems to be in between those two.
And then there are shitload of homemade attempts on Github, every second one is of course called Jarvis.
I hope that Mycroft dev team and Lucida dev team get some love between them going on and merge both projects into one overkill of an FOSS AI.
>>54662999

>>54666963
why would it be inhumane if the intelligence in question is not human (read: not the same thing we have in our brain).
Provided it can save it's state before poweroff and resume after powered back on, then there should be nothing wrong. It would be the equivalent of coma.
