#modern

2 posts2 participants0 posts today

Die #CxU #Parteien wirken mittlerweile wie eine Symbiose aus der 💩Partei und der #FDP. Immer wenn es Richtung #neu, #weltoffen und #modern gehen müsste, wiegeln sie es mit 💩Sprech ab. Wenn sie die #Kapital-Kumpelz schützen und nach unten Treten müssen, bedienen sie sich bei den Gelben. Selbst hauptsächlich inhaltslos, von #christlich so weit entfernt, wie der Mond vom Kölner Dom und eigentlich nur noch als Alias für die dienend, die eigentlich 💩Wählende wären. Weiß auch nicht mehr 😒

Okay, here it is. This is the unofficial official timeline of #AI. I'm going to tell you what to expect, and it's definitely not: this all goes away and we return to before.

Are you ready for this? Are you sure? Well, read on.

Before I continue, I'm going to lay out some AI #benchmarks that we'll use to define "how good / scary is this AI?" This is in rough order of difficulty.

#Lovelace #Test for #Emergence: "Can a system produce surprising and useful outputes that weren't explicitely programmed via weak emergence?"

#Loebner Test: "Can a computer fool casual human judges in text conversations?" ( #Modern #LLM AIs are close to this )

#Turing Test (Original Imitation Game): "A man or a computer and a woman are both answering text interrogations trying to convince them that they are the woman. Can the computer perform as well as the man?" (This was the actual orginial #TuringTest.)

Strengthened #Imitation Game: "A man or a #computer and a woman are both answering text interrogations. Can the computer perform as well as the woman?"

#Coffee Test: "Can a #system enter a strangers house with no prior infor and using #perception, imitation, and #reasoning figure out how to make a cup of coffee?"

#College #Student Test: "Can a robot enroll in college, attend classes like an actual student, learn from the instructions things it didn't know before, and graduate?"

#VoightKampff Test: "Can a machine withstand adversarial exper interrogation and still pass as #human?"

#Harnad's Total Turing Test: "Is the system indistinguishible from humans in every aspect?" (This is a #DuckTest.)

Non #Duck Test: "Even with full access to internals, can experts find no evidence that it isn't a genuine human mind?"

For context on the Ainu in modern Japan, Dubreuil offers a timely reassessment. Despite retaining citizenship post-1945 and being recognized as Indigenous in 2019 with consultation rights under UNDRIP Art. 19, the Ainu face systemic marginalization.

"I don’t think it is about harping back to a simpler life per se, but a life that would be genuinely #meaningful + #sustainable. If the #modern #industrial - #consumerist world was a viable project, then he’d be seen as a daydreamer, but it isn’t ..." fivebooks.com/best-books/m... #books

The breaking down of old #western #imperialism has taken centuries.

The #modern world was formed in the promise of no more shifting borders - by the #UN - who then proceeded to ignore the existence of the #Palestinian and their land by way of the #colony known as #Isreal.

Being confronted with this fact, it seems prudent to say that if #Palestine gets destroyed, modernism would die with it. Why even care at that point? It's just words that have no meaning.
