To my ear, that sounds very much like the GRE Verbal.

I think that's a generally fair statement. I understand its historically pretty common to see a theology to law pipeline.

At Heritage, in the break room over the microwave, there's a sign: "science delende est."

Surely, you mean over the coals. :-)

> may pass the Turing Test

Why do you say 'may'? Just curious. Surely you've got something

Because as with every AI, when it passed, the goalposts have been moved. Naysayers say it doesn't count, because winning once isn't enough, it needs to win 50%+ of the time, or winning against an uneducated human who can't ask right questions doesn't count etc.

For me, Maps and pods.

If it looked like a RAZR, I'd buy one today

if anyone's writing a script with a nerd in it, this line would kill

I'd like to see a show with this kind of writing

Mr. Robot had that kind of writing (at least in the first season which is the only one I watched).

I watched the whole thing, and I think it sort of went off the rails over time, probably to keep upping the ante. I think you're fine just watching the first season

I wonder how the bears would write this headline

"TIDE TURNS AGAINST HUMAN TERROR-BOTS"

The razor is commonly misunderstood.

William of Ockham objected to his fellow theologians inventing things out of whole cloth (like dark matter question mark). That’s the point, not that a simpler explanation is more likely to be true.

The common understanding would have us believe that creationism, being simpler, outshines evolution, or that there is no such thing as a color revolution because the simplest explanation is that the mass protests are earnestly aggrieved locals.

Yours is a common misunderstanding, as well.

Occam's Razor only kicks in when the hypotheses have equal predictive and explanatory power.

The MOND hypothesis does NOT have equal explanatory power with the dark matter hypothesis. As such, Occam's Razor is not relevant.

Maybe you can point me to the "equal predictive and explanatory power" bit in William's writings.

XP was dope. Long-as-hell start menu with 80 folders.

Do you build out your own information hierarchies and tell the model to use as-is, or do you let it organize everything itself?

I already had the hierarchy from years of maintaining the notes, but for new things I do collaborate with the model on how best to structure stuff and get it to refactor when needed.
