[Sam battle] is called [look mum no computer] on YouTube. Most people are famous for music artists, but recently it seems to have had some impact on retro telecom equipment. This latest raid has entered the field of minicom TTY equipment, which is the lifeline of those who don’t have enough hearing to communicate over the phone. Because in this modern era of chatting through the Internet, it is becoming more and more difficult to find another user with minicom, [Sam] decided to completely exclude human beings and let minicom users chat with raspberry PI running megahal instance, which is a chat robot in the 1990s. The idea of this building (which is not outdated to be a museum exhibit) is to connect some micro communication terminals around the room through the internal telephone network (and retro telephone switch {sam] maintenance). The line interface module based on mitel mh88422 chip. This convenient device allows raspberry interface to the telephone line, answer the phone and take care of all the usual handshakes. The audio signal from mitel interface is through USB audio interface (because PI has no audio input) the module is fed to PI.
Minicom uses Baudot code to encode the input characters into an audio stream that can be decoded at the other end, so it also needs pi to process. Because the code itself dates back to the 1870s, this may not be a big project to implement. Megahal uses a model based on Hidden Markov model, which can be regarded as an example of artificial intelligence system, depending on your point of view. Megahal’s model can be generated (sometimes!) After training on the appropriate data set, understandable sentences are extracted from some input text. [marcnet], a collaborator of [Sam], uses the lyrics of [Sam] songs for training. After the interface design of minicom and megahal was completed, this was not enough to satisfy [Sam], so he added an additional interface to his slightly scary Kosmo work and added some tooth and eye movements to the combination. Sparkfun audio trigger makes Kosmo sound, although we think PI may be able to do the same. If you want to follow the design process, you can read the speech, but that’s not enough, and you’re close enough to go to this outdated Museum and see it for yourself.
In these areas, AI related pranks are not uncommon. Here’s an interesting click bait generator, and then there’s a way for Linux to do what you want, not necessarily what you say. Finally, if this is far fetched and not practical enough for you, you can invade your coffee machine and learn to steam coffee for you when you need it most.
