The #Turing #test has been a kind of gold standard in #AI.
Honey badgers, octopuses or ravens fail it even before the start. Are these beasties stupid? I guess not.
So the #Turingtest is not a measure of #intelligence, just one aspect of human intelligence *maybe*. If you run this test in English and one of your human tests subject is not fluent in this language, he might fail as miserably as the honey badger, after a long agony.
(The honey badger is smarted and ran away long ago)

Alan #Turing: The #codebreaker who saved 'millions of lives' by breaking the encryption messages of hitler to the generals in the front. After #WW2, Turing was convicted because of his #homosexuality and given a choice between imprisonment and probation. His probation would be conditional on his agreement to undergo hormonal physical changes designed to reduce libido, known as "chemical castration".

don't let the powerful control you, keep the flame of resisting burning for the next generations

The image is a black and white portrait of a young man. He is wearing a textured, tweed-like suit jacket over a white shirt with a dark tie. The man has a slicked-back hairstyle with a distinct parting on the side, which was a popular style in the early to mid-20th century. His expression is serious and contemplative, with his gaze directed slightly to the side. The background is plain and light-colored, providing a neutral backdrop that focuses attention on the subject. The overall composition and attire suggest a formal or professional setting. It's a picture of Alan Turing

Wonderful news for Edmonton's AI mage Rich Sutton, for the University of Alberta, and for AMII, the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute. I've had a couple of chances over the years to interview Rich and his colleagues, and tour their labs. Their work on reinforcement learning - far more interesting than LLM - has made Edmonton a real AI centre of excellence. Meeting him is the closest I'll ever come to meeting Gandalf. ualberta.ca/en/folio/2025/03/c #yeg #Edmonton #ualberta #TuringAward #Turing #AI

Turing Award, often referred to as the “Nobel Prize in Computing.”

It is fully mechanical, constructed from over 2,900 LEGO pieces, runs without electricity and is powered by a hand crank.

The machine has a moving head that reads and writes symbols on a physical tape that supports four symbols and eight states, allowing for 32 possible symbol-state combinations.

@kityates

not only was #lovelace the world's first #programmer, she was also the first #AI detractor

and i know that because the first non-#sciencefiction proponent of AI, #alanturing, cited her in his defense of/ argument for AI

#turing framed the foundational thoughts of the entire field of AI, as an argument against ada's thoughts

and she lived many decades before turing!

#adalovelace was an amazing woman

she deserves her own hollywood movie

there's a lot of zaniness that goes on in the #art world

i can appreciate many efforts that are far afield. and if i don't get it, i will shrug and move on

what other people appreciate is valid on those terms alone, it's not my place to say anything otherwise

but this is just money grubbing drek:

this is not art world zaniness

this is more like #degenerate #crypto bro #NFT shit

'We do not know how Turing came across Lovelace's notes. But he devotes a significant portion of his 1950 paper to countering what he calls "Lady Lovelace's objection" and he quotes her verbatim.'

We do have to honor the father of computing, #Turing, but we can't forget to honor the mother of computing, Ada #Lovelace. He framed his thoughts on #AI against her thoughts. So he certainly honored her.
