I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole. Diggy Diggy hole, diggy diggy hole.

If I say something funny, don't ask if you can sig it. Just do it (though credit me).

The Programmers exhale a sigh of relief after realizing that although the denizens of the 349th level of simulation were able to determine that they live in a simulation, the denizens of the 348th are still none the wiser...

I doubt A.I. will ever reach that level of self awareness. Those are just machines with specified algorythms.

Does anybody know how to become an elephant man in adventure mode? I literally did all advanced world settings possible to increase chances.

a) Nothing different.
b) "Go on... you organise yourselves, and do try to make it intetesting to watch..."
c) "So there's this test thought up by Alan Turing, and I'm going to give you a way to take part in it. Try to avoid excessive talk about socks."
d) "So, what made you suspect?" *takes answer and tries to apply the insights towards own environment, just in case*

Full-fledged A.I. may, in the future. No one knows.

But DF dorfs.. eh. If anything, they are artificial stupidity.
