IRC Group Focused on AI, Bots

By Brian Proffitt

Though the BotSpot forum is a good place to go to discuss bots, it's not the only place.

Spinning Logic cofounder Dave Widder recently informed BotSpot of another Internet location to discuss all things of a bot nature.

The IRC channel is called #openai, and it promotes education of bot as well as open source technology. Both of these areas are something Widder is well familiar with, since his Massachusetts-based software firm deals primarily with open-source artificial life technology.

"The discussion forum is a great spot, as it is usually populated by a group
of AI experts, who are very willing to answer questions and help people
along," Widder said.

Widder explained how to enter the channel as well. Just point your favorite IRC chat client irc.linux.com, and the channel #openai.
