You said, "The American comedian and filmmaker Woody Allen made a movie where he says, 'I've never paid for sex,' and the woman says, 'Yes you just have. You just didn't know it'." What is the movie where he says that? Is it 'Manhattan'?

I just Googled it. Apparently, it's from Shadows and Fog (1991).

I don't get the "put part of his mind" part.

I don't get the "put part of his mind" part.

It's kind of a science fiction. So at first, Rui was invented accidentally with his mind dwelling in a very big computer. Later, Rui's inventor, Gan's father, tried to transfer Rui's mind to a small human-shaped robot with sythetical intelligence. But the process was full of turns and twists. After the trial and error, Gan's father could put part of Gan's mind into the core brain of robot. The research work was still going on at that time...

The term mind is an abstract concept, just as personality is. If you could move part of one from one place to another and did so it would be essentially changed.

Assuming Rui is real and you could transfer him from a mainframe computer to a robot, if you transferred only part of him it wouldn't be Rui anymore.

Are we writing a science fiction story? Is Rui an android?

[rodgers white]

Yeah, a sci-fi. Yes, you are right. It wouldn't be Rui anymore if you transferred only part of his mind. However, the process succeeded finally. I mean Rui's mind was transferred to the robot completely.

Do you mean Gan's mind or Rui's?

[rodgers white]

Oops, my mistake. I mean Rui's.

Yes. Jody Foster plays the madame in a brothel. It's his strangest movie.

[Charlie Bernstein]

As for 'Autonomous mobility', I mean: Rui, a robot with a sythetical intelligence, has gained the ability of the freedom of movement without the control of human beings.

Aha.

By the way, I placed the first paragraph in a quotation mark. I mean the whole paragraph is the words said by Lanhua, the daughter of Jingying.

Aha again!

Ems beat me to it. (I only come here on days that start with T or S.)

Carry on!
