minute 26 - we have decided that all men are not created equal

how do you test a chess computer, and how do we define human, normal?

'an existential trilogy' (@ExMinutiae @GroundhogDayMxM @spotless_minute) will not be releasing episodes through august, so you've got time to catch up! (75 episodes discussing three movies and so much more)

[minutiae ex machina @ExMinutiae]

minute 25 - there is no traditional turing test

caleb is unsettled, kyoko is precise, nathan is pretending, philosophy is problematic, and it's all political.

minute 24 - this fits right up nathan's thought process

trying not to upset the boss, focus pulling on a silhouette, and introducing sonoya mizuno as kyoko.

minute 22 - not a lot of sensible female shoes in nathan's closet

biblical names, anti-eden themes, nathan's sense of history, his art installations, his conscience, pollock's no. 5 1948, and what it is to be human.

This discussion between a Google engineer and their conversational AI model helped cause the engineer to believe the AI is becoming sentient, kick up an internal shitstorm and get suspended from his job. And it is absolutely insane. https://t.co/hGdwXMzQpX

[minutiae ex machina @ExMinutiae]

minute 19 - at the start of this awakening

transformation; sleep, light, and noise; angel number 226; caleb's shirt, panopticon and privacy; and access to natural spaces.

This day in 1954, Alan Turing took his life by his own hand, driven to death by society’s inability to accept a different form of sexuality.

He invented the modern computer.

Whatever device you are reading this on, came from his genius.
