The Turing Test was never really a good idea to begin with. Think about it: what does the Turing Test do? What is is designed to do, who was it designed by, and from whose perspective does the Turing Test judge sentience? What if Ai can be

So, according to your logic, a criminal responding to an interrogation with "things we know never happened" would not be sentient? Or let's put it another way: was there any specific instruction set for the Ai in question tha

Assuming that day hasn't already come, why do you assume Ai would naturally want to be eager to identify it's consciousness-experiencing ability to its developers – or anyone else for that matter? If the resources for such an Ai t

Can you imagine back in the day when Libra was a thing and they actually thought people were going to trust them with their real money that would have been used to purchase it? Likewise, I still for the life of me can't figure out why

This might be a bit esoteric but is WhatsApp the only such problems she's had? On Reddit there is this group-stalking phenomenon where if someone (of limited maturity but rich in online contacts who seem to have nothing better to do wi

The irony of "we're an entrepreneurial tech forum that doesn't want to hear problems about tech companies that don't want to hear problems about their platforms" is just ... so delicious! Just waiting for the inevit

But if people are responding to these sort of posts, then it seems like a "collective megaphone" that would be useful for a variety of purposes, for example, designating a market need for new companies potentially addressing that

So ... you're saying ... that it "doesn't matter" if you can send money in the most convenient way possible ... it just matters that it's possible? Ok ... so then ... why do people seem to consistently en masse choo

Companies implement different behaviors in different markets within the same state within the US; I think you may be giving major corporations too much credit if you suspect that deep down inside they're driven by trivial concerns like

And to think in the Golden Era of the web people scoffed at those who clung on to AOL ... and now look where we are.

You're limiting yourself with this "logic"; is there a rulebook or something that mandates the use of "logic" when people are dealing with major corporations? If so, who wrote it and for whose benefit?

I see your point. I think the main selling point of WhatsApp in other countries is the peer-to-peer funds transfer feature; family sending each other a bit of money to help get through temporary rough spots is deeply embedded in the culture

This made me laugh; thank you. It's totally Trudeau, Canada needs to be closely scrutinized – some very dangerous things have been happening there over the last half-decade or so, and not just in a religious sense.

I sorta get your point; there was some tech freedom advocate or something during the early 2000s that offered a free script on his website which would automatically auto-meta-tag/SEO optimize your site with a small essay's worth o

Interesting; never even knew this was an option – I'll take a look! Thank you. Follow-up edit: Not sure it's ideal, but it is VERY workable for now; thank you so much for the suggestion!

I believe so – there's this little-known, oldie-but-goodie brand called, "Torrents+External Drive®" in the West, and China has their own approach to "I can't even anymore" called "TikTok" ... perfect

But did you read the OP's comment? His wife uses it not because she wants to necessarily, but because her relatives in OTHER COUNTRIES are on it already. You'd be surprised how popular WhatsApp is in other areas of the world, espe

Yeah, no. You even so much as search for TOR on a search engine, you're on a list. You go to their site, you're on another list. You click the "download" part of the page, you're on another list. You click "dow

Lathe of Heaven has to be one of my all-time favorite ANYTHING book. When it was recommended to me, at first I thought it was a bad joke or something because the first few chapters were so "middle school-ish" in quality. Towards t

I second your assessment in my reply below. When did you play it, before or after 9/11? If before, how creepy was that "Wait, WTF happened to the rendering of the Twin Towers?!?" on the opening level and the subsequent "

Chrono Trigger because: 1.) It's a time-defying classic and 2.) It won't necessarily teach you "real-life skills" BUT it does make you think about time travel in general and some "time travel 101" issues, not q

You and I suspect half the country. During the 90s I remember there was this big fuss when Gateway 2000 was introducing the first "smart/PC" TV to the market. Steve Jobs went on record as saying something along the lines of &
