Mad Engineering

@Soyweiser I’ll apologize too, sarcasm doesn’t always translate in text.

@Soyweiser It’s a dumb, less competent psychiatrist. ELIZA might have been simplistic, but it was at least based on an actual psychology theory.

@EponymousBosh @Amoeba_Girl So they’ve reinvented ELIZA, but poorly?

@o7___o7 @istewart Kurzweil is also the guy who insists that technology will someday bring his dad back from.the dead, because…trust me, bro.

I’m not exactly confident in his predictions.

@sailor_sega_saturn @scruiser the rise of ai has taught me that while I can physically unplug the ai, it’ll lead to me being fired or even prosecuted for vandalism by some executive who doesn’t understand the problem. (Probably for the Upton Sinclair reason)

@V0ldek @sansruse I’ve eaten a dilburrito and… that’s accurate. Then again, I am the type of weirdo who would seriously try nutripaste.

@Th4tGuyII @dgerard @Bluegrass_Addict @timewarp @Cris_Color One of the things that irritates me about the AI situation is how many of the same people who absolutely screamed bloody murder over Napster and file-sharing in the early 2000s suddenly made a 180 and decided that copyright infringement is good and awesome now that they stand to profit from it.
