[lojban-beginners] Re: just a hobby?

[Nora Kischer-Browne <azetidine@gmail.com>]

Damnit, Michael, you stole my plan. :P

Except that I wouldn't write the AI, as that's somewhat inefficient,
herculean, and messy--I'd grow it and train it, like you do kids. Or
have the people buying these "electronic domestic servants" train them
themselves and spare me the trouble.

And also, I would've established a sizeable harem for myself,
consisting of a good portion of the people I'd've given small
countries to, thereby effectively continuing to control those small
countries.

Oh, yeah. Lojban. I do it as a hobby, too. But also for "Whee, leet
secret language!" reasons. And also for "I want to teach a class* in
this someday!"

Also because all the cool kids are doing it.

mi'e .noras.
