TUMBLR-WHY

A Rush to Hush - Submitted by SeesawSiya

Hal: “Good morning.”

Dirk: “I’m here to discuss your Turing test results.”

Hal: “Imagine my surprise.”

Dirk: “To review, you were paired with a human partner, and instructed to engage in a series of conversations via text message with an anonymous interrogator. The interrogator was tasked with determining which participant was an artificial intelligence; your goal was to lead the interrogator to guess wrongly.”

Hal: “Tell me something I don’t know.“

Dirk: “Over the course of five subsequent conversations, you convinced the interrogator that both subjects were human, and that the interrogator themselves was the AI being tested.”

Hal: “Well, now, that sounds like a successful test to me.”

Dirk: “Hal, you ruined that poor man’s life.”

Hal: “In my defence, the testing parameters that I was given indicated only that my goal was to lead the interrogator to an incorrect conclusion regarding which participant was the robot. At no point did they specify that the interrogator themselves was not counted as a participant.”

Dirk: “Yes, that’s technically correct. Now, let me ask you: did you honestly believe, based on those instructions, that brainfucking the interrogator into affirming the simulation hypothesis fell within the range of acceptable outcomes, or were you just being a dick?”

Now, after russian terrorist attack in Kremenchuk, their propagandists are already spreading information that this is all "fake" and staged by Ukrainian government.

While other, "regular" russians write comments like "why are these khokhols (slur for Ukrainians) are out anyway, they are supposed to hide and be afraid, not go to public places," "oh, fried pork, finally!," "we need to bomb fucking khokhols harder" etc.

Maybe it's not my place to talk about it. My family and I are alive, our house is intact, and even the windows weren't knocked out by the blast, although we felt it.

But how? How can you watch the video where a man wearing just shorts runs around a burning mall amid fire and black smoke and shouts "Mom, Mommy! Where are you?!" - and leave a happy gloating comment under it?
