  It is widely acknowledged that many modern AI chat bots can indeed pass the Turing test as well as an actual human, maybe even better.

  So the new problem is that something is wrong with the Turing test, and we need to come up with something better.
  Because nobody sensible recognize current state of AI to be anywhere near strong AI.
  Or maybe we are performing the Turing test wrong? It can probably not be called a proper Turing test, unless it’s someone particularly skilled in it that performs it. Someone able to detect the answers without actual human experience behind them.

  We know AI can have very basic problems, like not being able to count the number of “r” in strawberry correctly, and act very confused about it when it’s explained that there are 3, and asked to spell the word out and count them.

  If the AI had consciousness and comparable intelligence to a normal human, such banal things should not confuse the AI.

  There are also more people. Are streets not real if autonomous driving becomes a thing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you think about the dead internet theory?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago⁩:

  So your Google search isn’t real, because the result is based on bots crawling the internet.
  Well internet searches were based on crawlers looonngg before Google.
  Just like this example you can make thousands of examples, where the sites we used to some degree is facilitated by crawlers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you think about the dead internet theory?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago⁩:

  Bullshit.

  Social media <> the internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do doctors not seem to give a fuck about pain? Is this just an American doctor thing, or is it universal?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately this absolutely happens, both by doctors and nurses.
  My mother experienced something similar at the hospital when she had an examination for a disc herniation.
  She was told not whine so much about it despite it was extremely painful for her to move. After they had the results, and it turned out she had a HUGE one, they all suddenly changed completely, because they could se on the images how bad it really was.
  They thought she had 2, but when she was operated, it turned out to be only one that was so big it looked like 2 on the imaging.

  Some doctors and nurses are assholes, that don’t respect their patients, and don’t believe when they have pains.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How much influence do to think Jeffery Epstein had on Windows?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If it was possible for Epstein to compromise Windows and have access to spy on people.
  Maybe Bill Gates would just do that to spy on Epstein. So when Epstein tried to extort Bill Gates, Bill gates would have a thousand times the compromising material on Epstein.

  So the very simple answer using Occam’s razor is none.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Amazon Prime overpriced in the Anglosphere demographic?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  First the price is set to maximize profits, nothing else.

  The reason it’s cheap in Japan is probably because the value is low for Japanese people, they don’t want to pay more, the price they’ve set is the balance between how many subscribers they can get to maximize the total revenue and profits.

  In India I imagine the value for the individual might be better, but it’s a poor country, so the low price is necessary for people to afford it.

  Second they have copyright deals that vary greatly by region, so cost and content can vary greatly too.

  But you can be 100% sure that the low price in India isn’t because they want to be nicer to the Indians. It’s because that’s the price that will earn them the most money.

  Almost lost an eye at age 12, almost lost my mom at age 2…

  Because of wearing glasses?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been wearing glasses since I was 12, and I’ve had a car and drivers license for decades.
  Why do you keep trusting your own mistaken logic over the statistics? Why don’t you look it up for yourself?
  You are the one that sounds like you are not wearing glasses, I’ve never heard anyone using glasses having similar fears you have.
  Your fear is paranoid and delusional. Let’s hear it, which eyeball was taken out by the glasses on who?
  I’ve been in numerous accidents wearing glasses, on bicycle, kayaking and even a pretty serious one in a car once. I’ve never been hurt by it, I’ve only had to replace the sometimes, which is of course annoying and expensive. And I’ve also never heard about either friends or family or statistics that say there’s an actual problem wearing glasses in accidents.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s very very stupid, I never heard about anyone getting hurt by the glasses because of the airbag.
  using just 10 seconds looking it up, reveals that glasses do not significantly increase risk of eye injury from airbags.
  And remember in the context of research significantly means it is not statistically significant, meaning the number is so small it’s within statistical error.
  So disabling the airbag that demonstrably saves lives, to avoid a statistically non existent danger, is about as moronic as it gets.

  the woman repeatedly asked for tap water with her meal, even offering to pay for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Italy’s top court rules against tourist refused tap water in Dolomites hotel⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s really low class of the Hotel restaurant, and I am pretty sure it would be illegal in most countries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how much money is there in total?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In my opinion, money is not just debt.

  Money is literally an “I owe you” note. It is issued by a central bank, and has no intrinsic value. The entire value of money is based on trust, that this “I owe You” note will good when you need to spend the value of whatever you did to earn the note.

  Linux can easily be run on your 500 MB HDD, it can also be run from an USB stick or even a DVD.

  Linux can even run on the original Raspberry Pi, a single board computer with only 512 MB RAM!

  You should probably look for a distro that is made for older systems, but if you do that, it should work very well. There are obviously limitations with only 2GB RAM. So I wouldn’t use a resource heavy desktop like KDE/Plasma.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is chess the most frustrating game to lose in?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Almost exactly what I came to say, in Chess you lose fair and square based on how well you play.
  Games that have an element of chance, you can lose to the statistically improbable, despite being the better player.

  In pure chance based games, it doesn’t really matter IMO, because it’s purely chance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you could make a magic wish so that your crush liked you, would you do it?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does it really matter if she likes you because she is genetically or socially preconditioned to think you’re handsome?
  Or she is randomly attracted to your pheromones?
  Or you randomly share an interest?
  Or whatever other random thing causes it?

  Or that she likes you because you want her to?

  Instinctively I agree that yes it matters, but I find it less easy to argue the point rationally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is wrong with Pop OS?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally I prefer rolling releases, because apart from being generally more up to date having all the newest features, I also like to generally only have to fix 1 problem at a time. Where a dist-upgrade for a non rolling release sometimes have more problems at once.
  I feel like I have fewer problems on average with rolling releases.
