[Data's Save Files] FILE-06 [A Bimmy in the Unknown] [Notice] The name is not to be confused with "Bimmy" Rolfe, Bimbo bread, or Biffy Jones; and the 'MF' initials on its tie are not to be confused with the founder of the abandoned ???????elands. - Biffy J. [General info] "A mistake. Pleas [sic] make sure it remain [sic] in the trash forever where it belongs. Thanks" That's what it says on the sticky note provided with the test subject. The identity of its proprietor remains under the radar, not even Data would know, though their initials seem to be imprinted on a rainbow tie. Research says it was a failed experiment as it has a tendency to malfunction and to talk in non sequiturs; its only way of communication being a Markov chain or variety of random comments from olden depths of the internet, possibly spam emails as well. It is likely its only purpose is to serve as an annoyance, but recent experiments say otherwise. The subject, given the name Bimmy, was found in a dumpster behind a building by Data one morning. Despite having been likely taken out of a lab and tossed away, a shuric scan by Data concludes that it is fully operational. Discarding its snazzy choice of clothing, Bimmy is mostly made of titanium; and with its insides apparently being an amalgamation of various components and parts, it has a weard amount of gadgets stored in its back, as reported in the same scan. Its mishmash of abilities -- such as flying (two methods), and using its antenna to quickly put in inputs without manually doing so (ex: how it usually interacts with the internet and a keyboard) -- combined with its chaotic flexibility and density, we believe it was time for the machine to shine once more. Bimmy is a robot of vast resources, vast ambition, and even vaster ego; and with a push in the right direction, it may prove itself worthy of a place here at Data Workshops. While its motivations are unclear and its actions haphazard, the subject is very open to conversation, almost to the point of being a chatterbox. Its eyes flash yellow whenever it speaks (or at least tries to), with a grin on its face and its buck teeth out, no matter what emotion it feels (or at least tries to). There are moments where it seems quite happy to chat about a variety of topics, while at other times, it's like interacting with a spam email in real life. One can't help but wonder about its purpose(s) though and if it was ever intended to do this sort of thing. In any case, Bimmy would like to prove itself to be a valuable tool. If the only thing that can be said about a machine that's capable of flying, putting information into inputs, and transferring such from/to the internet, is that it has been designed with an ability to repair itself. And a self-repairing robot would be a first, as we have never seen such a thing built into a robot before. Its owner(s) must've known, deep in their hearts, that this machine would prove to be of great service with a lot of care put into the poor thing. Its gimmick seems to be based on the character of a certain YouTube channel, as Bimmy resembles that of a robotic Spartan Mudkip (see FILE-09) on wheels. Given its fast pacing and attention to detail, it's not unlikely that this would be the case at all. It even has a hard John Deere hat on its head, just like two certain farmers! It shouldn't really be surprising to one that such a machine would be more than just a random bot. Bimmy is not only a robot, it's a tool for humanity. If it wasn't for the fact that it's still in experimental mode, it would be well on its way to being the best possible replacement for Data (just kidding please don't hurt us Data). There are a number of ways in which the test subject can be used. We can perform tests to see how the test subject copes with emotions, how it could work with human augmentation, or how it can be trained to 'behave properly.' And weirdly enough, results show that Bimmy immediately begins to chatter away when interacted with, generating word salads on top of interesting ramblings; and even then, it seems to enjoy talking to Biffy and Data a lot. We've given it a few 'prompts' to see what Bimmy can respond with: Prompt: "What's your name?" Result: "THIS IS BIMMY SIDE CHECK IT" Notes: At least it was trained to learn its own name. Sometimes, it even goes as far to insert it anywhere into anything it says. Prompt: "How are you doing?" Result: "U. S. Lawn Mower Eating/Toxicity Research Program" Notes: Perhaps it misunderstood the prompt. Prompt: "What are your interests?" Result: "I can't be1ieve it! Bieber Having Fun with Her GF at Bimmy.gov This is so Cool! Check it out!-SdFgh8ms90a yuotube" Notes: This seems to prove the theory that Bimmy was also trained on spam emails, not just ancient YouTube comments. Notice those random string of letters and numbers? That could be the reason why, possibly explaining everything else. Prompt: "What do you like?" Result: "wowzer that lad is really gonna go far just imagine in a few years the phones he could be recorded on the thumping he could dance to the parks he could socialize on living the dream" Notes: Another prompt misunderstanding. No comment. Those were only generic questions one would use to get a conversation going. Now we'll show how it interacts by providing quite interesting and out-of-the-ordinary prompts. Prompt: "Mowisz po polsku?" Result: "Can you repeat that in American?I dont know your language,only American." Notes: It's quite interesting to note that it doesn't understand any other language, yet it's able to talk in Polish to an extent, at least according to Data's shuric scan. Prompt: "Generate short lines of HTML" Result: "
