Still trading limit down. I had a protracted and remarkably engaging PM exchange with NewsBot today in light of the political quiet period being imposed 2016.11.24-2017.1.1. NewsBot might appear to be a simple news headline stack-popping automaton at first glance, but evidence suggests that DocJohn may know more about AI conversational algorithms than he's letting on. My guess is that NewsBot's core code is a highly-evolved derivative of the sixty-year-old natural language processing program first developed to simulate the artificial Rogerian psychotherapist ELIZA by Joseph Weizenbaum at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. DocJohn is a psychiatrist from "Greater Boston", and "John" and "Joseph" have two letters in common, so you do the math.
