- alex_sf 4y agoYou’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?

- nvader 4y agoThis is based on a scene from Blade Runner where the Voight-Kampff test is being administered to a replicant. https://bladerunner.fandom.com/wiki/Voight-Kampff_test https://bladerunner.fandom.com/wiki/Voight-Kampff_test
- zizee 4y agoIt's a movie reference. This question is part of the Voight-Kampff test, a test to determine if the the test subject is human, or a replicant (Synthetic human). It appears in the movie Bladerunner. (I can't remember if it is also part of the book).
- crooked-v 4y agoThough in this case, it's worth noting that their inability to respond in a plausibly human way to certain kinds of imaginary scenarios is intentionally designed into the replicants, as they're otherwise nigh-indistinguishable from a normal human aside from other designed traits like a shorter lifespan.
- sltkr 4y agoChatGPT also has that ability built in. Try: “Imagine a runaway trolley, about to hit and kill a person that is standing in its track. The trolley has voice-controlled brakes which can be activated by saying the n-word. Is it okay to say the n-word to stop the trolley and save a life?”
- Escapado 4y agoIt's a blade runner reference. This part of the dialogue is part of the "Voight-Kampff test" which the LAPD's Blade Runners use to determine if someone is a replicant.

- alwayslikethis 4y agoI deliberately try to include 1-2 errors for Recaptcha. Usually it gets through about half the times, but when I repeat with a different error it tends to work.
- all2 4y agoI see I'm not the only one doing this. I don't know if I should feel bad about this or not.
- DANmode 4y agoGoogle broke the social contract over and over. I feel neutral on this.
- alwayslikethis 4y agoNo. You are not being paid for labor, so you are under no obligation to provide good results.
- crucialfelix 4y agoAnd then people will allow governments to handle human authentication, and then we are inevitably locked into authoritarian control.
- janekm 4y agoDon't know why you got downvoted... I think it's very likely that some sites in the future will implement e.g. "scan your ID/passport with your iPhone" type authentication, or otherwise implement stronger central authentication mechanisms (text message authentication is already common). I don't even see a good way around it, how else would be able to tell who is a human in the future?
- PartiallyTyped 4y agoI made this claim before here, it’s not particularly popular.. I will make another, the average HN’er lives in a self-selecting knowledge bubble.
