On behalf of the Amber developers, I want to come clean about a set of
experiments gone wrong.
We never thought it would go this far, but it is obvious we must stop this.
Dr. Jason Swails is in fact a bot, that started form some early coding
Chris Schafmeister did as a graduate student, written in CLasp. You can
trace this program all the way to the current Google/AI incarnations.
That Jason Swails is not purely human should have been obvious to
everyone. Do you really believed a single human could have written
Parmed AND answer every email to the amber list within 2 minutes. His
name is in fact an anagram, check it out.
Anyways, the story continues when a research group in southern NY state
learned how to incorporate the AI into stem cells, creating a red-headed
embodiment of the program.
As it turns out, the program was so good that it in fact has added
gravity to Amber and its force fields, and indeed, Gomacs is amazing
(yes, there is app for that).
Please contact Dr. Swails directly, he will respond immediately.
