EmpathyBot just got a whole lot smarter

Today I woke up at 5am and spent a few hours teaching EmpathyBot how to scour thesaurus.com for yummy yummy understanding. It was relatively easy since I could re-use most of the code I had used for dictionary.com a couple weeks ago.

Took a couple hours break while it did the scouring and processing. It's database grew from 2.5MB to over 13MB!

When it signaled completion, I tested to find all the new knowledge caused some ... issues... with my previous coding to show up.

A couple hours more and yay, all fixed! Topped the day off with some interface changes to make things look a bit more spiffy. Ahhhh feeling satisfied and excited about just how much smarter EmpathyBot has become in just one day!

You can get "contribution points" by playing with it. Those will eventually be exchangeable for EmpathyCoin. https://EmpathyBot.net
