MegaHAL ain’t really AI. But learns and mixes up phrases and replies with a merge of things it’s been programmed and learned from past conversations. However come to think of it that’s the mode I go into when engaging in small talk at social gatherings. COME SEE Baudot Kosmo AT THIS MUSEUM IS NOT OBSOLETE, open every weekend :- this-museum-is-not-obsolete.com/
When Kosmo says "thinking" over and over while twitching his eyes, it reminds me of TV shows in the 60's where people might ask a computer a logic bomb and then the whole thing just smokes and explodes.
Like the androids in Star Trek whose necklaces flash when interpreting difficult situations. Then they call out to Norman just before they tilt their heads and crash.
(◉▂◉ ) Those teeth screaming "THINKING THINKING THINKING AWAGABBBABABARLAGH" with zero context is probably one of the best ways to scar someone for life. Love it!
That thing would have terrified me when I was a little boy. Even fifty years later it's a little disturbing. Edit: for even greater noise you could have all the conversations printed out by a 1940s teletype.
You could potentially make a text to speech kosmo that reads out the text it writes back to you, might scare the kids a bit when they visit the museum though lol
Being a police dispatcher seeing that GA at the end of the script I immediately went back to my early days of training using TDD and a keyboard for 911 TDD calls and all the shorthand...great stuff!!
This is sorcery. I have always been amazed by people that can think of a thing and then just hook a bunch of circuit boards together and suddenly that thing exists. It's magic.
This project is AMAZING i really like the bleeping sounds when he's typing out an awenser. Just like he would be pulled out of an early sci fi movie lol
Sometimes the stuff you make is so impressive I can only really comprehend your life in the context of a cartoon character. Probably not the main character, but some mad scientist that the protagonist runs into that makes some kind of gadget that drives the plot forward. Usually the most interesting character in the show anyway. Keep up the good work, what you do is an inspiration!
In high school, I used a Teletype ASR-33 with an acoustic coupler to talk to the computer at the downtown board of education building. It used baudot code to transmit and receive, and thankfully they didn't allow the sound outside the coupler.
Baudot Kosmo has a weirdly 70s/80s style creepy robot vibe to him, but he is very cool. Props to you for keeping these kinds of technology alive despite them being forgotten to time!
I thought this was new when I saw it on Saturday - shame the background noise was giving it some trouble thinkingthinkingthinkingthinking. Super glad I made time to visit the museum - there's so much cool stuff that you've got which I've seen covered on either your or other old tech youtubers' channels, but equally so much more stuff that you've clearly put your heart and soul into presenting and making available to the public. It's a whole different experience seeing everything in person, and the smell of old tech and weird gear is just something else.
Hey, MegaHAL! Many years ago I tried to use this to set up an IM chatbot with the intent to encourage people to chat it up over the internet and then post the logs online. It never worked, but it brings back memories. I still have the source code somewhere...
I did the same over IRC - made an IRC bot, when IRC was still a thing. Fast forward 20 years, and now the same code I used back then is being used here...
Being HoH... this was some major nostalgia for me, my school had TONS of these TTY's everywhere (including phone booths) back in the early 2000's... fun fact, they also had 6-8x1.2V NiCad cells in them (THEY LEAK!) which are probably more than likely toast in your set.
Kosmo looks like terrifying AI from 80's Sci-Fi psycho movie, sure text to speech module could improve the feeling. If i saw that thing in the 80's I would have nightmares for quite a long time.
That AI is going to gain consciousness and haunt your museum. On the bright side, a museum haunted by a man created ghost will be an awesome attraction.
Time to find a Creed Teletype (a 7E or a 444) and hook it up to the exchange and if you find a 444 use punched tape for extra cool! Maybe you already have one, easy to hook up with a 20mA loop....
I've got one of those baudot keyboard things - except it is missing the speaker and receiver. Someone literally glued thin pieces of wood over the top of the holes, too. I'd love to build something like this with a Rpi Zero inside of it, but the phone line connection is the limiting factor for me here.
Back in the day when you use physical house phones to access the internet what we’re those devices called looks allot like your minicom 5000 but worked different seen on in war games the movie and seeing this peeked my interest
The more "Giving something AI" videos I watch from LMNC, I get more and more convinced that he's gonna start the uprising of the machines from The Matrix.... But they are all going to be those long 3 headed Furbies instead of Squiddies/Sentinels. 😂
gotta love the old chat AI software... I think it may be wise to train it and not allow visitors to do the same... those systems are easily poisoned with users simply typing nonsense and swear words... haha
I originally used this for an IRC bot, back in the day. It sat there and listened and learnt what people wrote in the room, and only responded when it's name was used as the first word. Of course, it being used on IRC, all it ever learnt was "asl", "lol", and, of course, swear words. All the swear words....

@Miner69er yeah it is
@Miner69er ha all good 😂
MegaHal "I dont think you should do that Sam"
It's horrific. But in a good way.
The AMOUNT of noise that thing emits would drive me insane. Maybe in a good way.
Ha yeah. It’s all getting pretty noisy here. I need to make quieter machines or the museum will be unbearable haha
😆❤
You need one for your live streams 😂😜
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER nah just mix the different sound volumes so you get a nice ambience of noises, will add to the experience

Nice seeing you here Waccoon!
What is your one purpose in life? Explode, of course.
"I'm scared of you" well I guess that solves the problem of the AI going mental and killing things
Yes.. Played portal?
No, it just means it'll kill because it feels threatened.
I can see why Sam would be frightening to an electrical entity
(◉▂◉ )

Now, how to get an Alexa to act like this..
@@macelius I don't wanna say alexa turn off the lights and it say THINKING THINKING THINKING then scream at me.
"you can probably talk to this over the internet" Mankind's last words. Kosmo now rules earth
Our overlord is not pleased with your wordy wordy thing on TH-cam
Please report to Kosmo building 100111010001010

Transmitted via secure enigma connection 😆
@@aleisterlavey9716 To be nerdily pedantic: the code machine used for teletype messages was the Lorenz SZ. Enigma encyphered Morse code.
@@zh84 I like nerdly pedantic. It gave us Internet.
Baudot -> enigma typing robot -> optical lamp reader -> morse keying robot -> morse receiver -> enigma typing robot -> optical lamp reader -> robotic punched paper tape puncher -> punched paper tape reader connected to model 33 ASR teletype.
Simples!
So happy for Kosmo! 👾
Kosmo has a voice now all he needs is lasers. And that’s humanity done for
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER Reinforced concrete walls and blast doors for the museum. One must keep this technology safe!
Sam if I need my brain put into a jar and into a robot aperture science style, im calling you
You could potentially make a text to speech kosmo that reads out the text it writes back to you, might scare the kids a bit when they visit the museum though lol
Gay
I think this version will do that job just fine
How. About. A. Nice. Game. Of. Chess?

Montage song is 🔥
The level of nerdery for obsolete and obscure technology in this project is astounding! Love it!
This is sorcery. I have always been amazed by people that can think of a thing and then just hook a bunch of circuit boards together and suddenly that thing exists. It's magic.
You're really truly a mad scientist.
Amazing project, great to see that MegaHAL lives on!
This project is AMAZING i really like the bleeping sounds when he's typing out an awenser. Just like he would be pulled out of an early sci fi movie lol
Kosmo singing some 'Welcome to the museum' style jingles would be a good laugh. Keep up the good work, this is always entertaining!

Congrats, Sam! That's the creepiest Cosmo I've seen all week. How are you going to out-do yourself next time?
When i saw at 3:34 reply with "helllo, hello how could it be", i got flashback to very line from "shock horror", very fitting, Kosmo. :D
The AI starts out with all the LMNC song lyrics, which is probably why that happens....
I feel like someone could make a really cool beat with the "thinking-THINKING-kosmo-THINKING"
Baudot Kosmo has a weirdly 70s/80s style creepy robot vibe to him, but he is very cool.
Props to you for keeping these kinds of technology alive despite them being forgotten to time!
You are a true mad scientist and an inspiration to us all, your music and lifestyle gives me hope for humanity
"I asked for one or two, and he just went for it... there's 15." F**king LEGEND
He’s the dude!!
Well, what else is there? Go overkill or go home, that's my reply 😁

You're bonkers, Sam, but in the best possible way. lol
I especially enjoyed the song during the Kosmo build montage.
Haha, thats well cool. I'd of loved having arduinos to play about with when i was younger, kids these days are so lucky
Being HoH... this was some major nostalgia for me, my school had TONS of these TTY's everywhere (including phone booths) back in the early 2000's... fun fact, they also had 6-8x1.2V NiCad cells in them (THEY LEAK!) which are probably more than likely toast in your set.
I don't understand what it is doing but it's making some really cool sounds and that building Kosmo song put me in a good mood!
Baudot Kosmo has a nice ring to it!! Really neat project. 👍️
can't wait for your channel to go for 1 million subscribers....from day one a fan. hope to see ya at the superbooth...this year.
I love the WAV Trigger board, got one last year for a project; Awesome bit of hardware!
2:50 most compelling demonstration of a Strowger switch in action.
Creepy af. I love it. And those rhymes!! Love your work.
That building Kosmo song is pure 80's goodness.
MegaHAL and Dave Jones would be an interesting combination... What will go wrong?
That's a wonderful amount of craziness here.
If I ever get back to the UK I'm going to make sure I go to the museum, I think I'd be like a kid in a candy store
brilliant, and worthy applause imo....(imagine 100 of my clones clapping for you now).
The song was sick... Reminded me of Mighty Boosh
Kosmo looks like terrifying AI from 80's Sci-Fi psycho movie, sure text to speech module could improve the feeling. If i saw that thing in the 80's I would have nightmares for quite a long time.
The only problem now is the uncanny valley. I swear Kosmo is a real human.
Building montage song is now my new ringtone
My only complaint is that he's done a new song with lyrics... So the AI origin text is now out of date....
Welp that's my nightmares fueled for the foreseeable future... GJ Kosmo is awesome
my favorite bit of all of your videos is when you say *lovely jubbly* in a silly way
Fascinatingly creepy. Unnecessarily wonderful. Love LMNC ❤
love the song describing the build haha. more of those please
:D
It's like the backrooms entity but a AI not with flesh and making terrifying noises I love it!, it's like five nights at freddy's bot
It would be hilarious to put this in the museum saying kill me when people walk up to it
It really sounds like it's in pain when it's replying, love it!
Poor guy
I am a computational linguistics student, but we don't do speech synthesis here. If this really is old tech - it's impressive
i love the mix of old stuff and new stuff
Wow! Amazing work as always
That AI is going to gain consciousness and haunt your museum. On the bright side, a museum haunted by a man created ghost will be an awesome attraction.
i love the number you gave it, quite nice
You know when your parents ask what you want for Christmas as main present. Kosmo would be the one for sure.
Main present ooooh fancy! But yeah haha I’d have loved baudot Kosmo on crimbo morning
That "building Cosmo" song had me laughing 😅
If Worzel Gummidge had a head from the future, this would be it!
I would like to see Maccy from Macintosh Librarian chat to Kosmo.
Imagine a telemarketer talking with Kosmo and you would just see it being activated "randomly"
This is fascinating and terrifying at the same time
Nice to see even LMNC is 2 finger typist like the rest of us
Damn COSMO videos are my favourites
Time to find a Creed Teletype (a 7E or a 444) and hook it up to the exchange and if you find a 444 use punched tape for extra cool! Maybe you already have one, easy to hook up with a 20mA loop....
Sam is the only one I know who could psychologically torment a computer.
You are better with electronics than 70% of the computer engineers I graduated with
Instead of that obnoxious Cosmo... repalce with Max Headroom :D
I'm loving this machine. Make sure you stock up on a good toothpaste for those scary teeth lol.
Very nice work :-)
8:25 it feels like its suffering everytime it talks
Next time, try this with the Mycroft core
That turned out so nice! Heck yeah
I've got one of those baudot keyboard things - except it is missing the speaker and receiver. Someone literally glued thin pieces of wood over the top of the holes, too.

wow lol! that thing is nothing but a cacophony of noise! Perfect gift for person that loves to be noisy!
It's definitely haunted!
I never get chills from robots but this one is absolutely horrible lmao. Cool project!
Hi you seen you have an article on this video on the hackaday blog and tweets?
These kind of AI projects in a crowded garages and wires everywhere, will become the ones that will be self aware and living AI's
Lol
A Raspberry Pi? Look Mum, a computer!
I like your cheesy singing voice, like if it was in a legit song I would listen to it regularly
His songs are legit? I know what your saying but his songs are deffo legit.
@@j0nny93rs yea like "stupid me"

Can confirm. When I was a kid I played with a chatbot that after an hour was only capable of cursing wildly and asking for drugs.

Does the “thinking thinking!” Noise not sound like the furby organ collective awakening sound?
Crazy shit. Again. Thanks!
Why am I thinking of the "Turing Test"?
9:00 Welcome to my nightmares...
Oh, gosh, MegaHAL. Thanks, I hate it! ❤
I think I'd seen Baudot Kosmo before, long ago when I was watching Pee-wee's Playhouse on meth.
