FYI, “anthropomorphizing” doesn’t strictly mean “viewing as human”. I never meant to imply that people see a spoon as a human being.
Anthropomorphization is the act of associating human qualities with non-human entities.
My point is that humans are remarkably good at doing this, even as far as, e.g., ascribing “unhappiness” to a spoon simply for being unused.
This kind of behavior is why we must be extremely wary of the Turing test and other measures of machine “intelligence” - humans may see intelligence even where none exists simply because it’s our nature.
Yep, this is the major flaw that’s becoming clear about the Turing test, and why people are so hyped over LLMs: computers don’t have to be good at imitating people, because people are so good at anthropomorphizing computers (along with everything else).
Lost the coin flip.
Pretty sure the lyric is “ride the pony”, my dude.
There’s that old chestnut: “you know what they call alternative medicine that works? Medicine.”
Ikr? Seems like a good thing to me. I want dumb devices controlled by a smart system.
Bold of you to assume no one will come up with a replacement date library rather than just getting rid of JS.
Furthermore, it’s “Zeno’s Paradox”, (as in, attributed to Zeno) not “The Zeno Paradox”
Imma let you in on a little secret:
All media is political. It’s just not always obvious.
