in all of history, only one man
has sucked dick
has helped us in a major way to win ww2
has committed suicide by the most awesome way imaginable, eating a poisoned apple
has also basically invented modern computers and thus helped us all talk to each other (or you talk to me, and thus enrich your lives)
that man
is alan turing
let's talk about how awesome alan turing is and how different the world would be without him
for a start we might not have won WW2!
so we would all be nazis, let's take a moment to think about what that would be like

the future that never was...
AN AI CONSTRUCT WILL PASS THE TURING TEST BY 2029
that is the face of a man who is thinking
'HA HA GODEL CAN SUCK MY DICK, COMPUTERS WILL TOTALLY PASS THE TURING TEST ONE DAY'
tossrock you're a transhumanist right
it's pretty funny because basically the turing test ain't shit
what is the turing test
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test
I heard homophobia got widespread at around that time. Before men were alot more affectionate, body contact was not taboo and all that shit.
Just imagine all the manhugs that law cost us.
eat a dick turing
your machines can eat a dick too
e: and someone who can't spell
Every moment 1 1/16 is born.
Locked inside Turings castle.
he'd be all fuuuuuuck yeah and you'd be all let's bone and then you'd bone
That doesn't mean it's any smarter than a pocket calculator.
But Turing seems like he was a pretty alright guy.
that's what makes me laugh about it
it doesn't actually test the intelligence of a system, just its bluffing ability
yep
turing explicitly states that the test is designed to seperate 'learned from rote' from an actual understanding of the questions asked
Are you saying that all of the various human societies and cultures that exist, and have existed, are the result of purely mechanical processes? I don't have strict proof one way or another, but that's pretty implausible.
well yeah
souls dont exist
I never said they do.
Consciousness and free will don't need to have a supernatural explanation.
Yeah, only, no.
If you consider the test a game tree, the game complexity of an english language conversation grows faster than it would be possible to compute. Brute forcing every possible response to every possible query at every possible depth level would require more storage space than there are atoms in the observable universe. It's impossible.
The only way to really do it is with some kind of heuristic that is capable of forming new responses, and at the point where your heuristic reaches such complexity as to be indistinguishable from intelligence, who's to say it isn't intelligence?
Also, fuck John Searle.
I don't see how that makes free will impossible.
