I want to work 7 days a week on my bots. How to do it, plz?
Something about my bots: www.bit.ly/txtbot

1 - Get a job in AI
2 - Get a research grant
3 - Win the lottery

Yes, that's it, but my question is deeper...
How to get a job in AI, research grant and a winning lottery ticket - quite QUICKLY?

[squarebear]

Is this a joke?

[dryhay]

Sort of... I like programming bots, so I'd like to do it even 7 days a week. I don't have enough time to focus my full activity on them only.

I suspect many of us here would like to work on our bots as a full time job but I suspect even if you get a job in AI, they are not going to let you work on your bot all the time. Winning the lottery would be even harder, so why not try to appraoch some boies and see if you can get a research grant or something similar? Bear in mind that if you are just checking chatlogs on a Pandorabots server, it is unlikely you will receieve any money for a grant.

Oh, actually that was the answer I need. Thank you.
I've been busy recently (changing address, starting my own business to support my own project, having tiring hay fever by the way...), but I'll continue improving my bot (not Pandora - just my own one).

Bots will be so useful and necessary, but require lots of time... Someone should just suck out everyone interested about bots programming.

There are several sites dedicated in a more strict sense to BOTS, types, development, enhancements, testing, etc.

There are some sites that concern themselves more with the AI aspect than say the mechanics. Do some searching...the truth is out there... <cue...weird Sci-Fi music>
