You can talk with MegaHAL here: http://megahal.kranzky.com/
All source is freely available on GitHub, unencumbered by a license.
The main MegaHAL repository is https://github.com/jasonhutchens/megahal/ It includes a console application and eight built-in personalities, including Sherlock Holmes. And it's easy to hook into its API if you want to build something else with it.
MegaHAL uses Sooth, which is a simple stochastic predictor, written in C but wrapped in a Ruby gem. It's available at https://github.com/jasonhutchens/sooth/ MegaHAL uses five separate Sooth predictors to do its thing. You could build other things with it.
Finally, the code for the server itself is available at https://github.com/jasonhutchens/megahal-server/ It's a Rails 4.2 app with a crappy Bootstrap theme. A basic REST api hooks things up, and a daemonized version of MegaHAL processes the queue of jobs coming in from the world.
Have fun, I'm looking forward to seeing how warped the online personality becomes, and how big the brain file grows.
Share and Enjoy!
I still can get eggdrop and the module to compile fairly easily, and it works for the most part but the code is fairly old and not the best.
Thanks :)
One nitpick about the web app: if you reach the bottom of the page you can't see the answers anymore, can you add an auto-scroll?
