don't mind me, just saving these for later
Asking you to click a checkbox to confirm that you are, in fact, human seems curiously simple.
The world's largest online ticket retailer is to stop requiring users to enter hard-to-read words in order to prove they are human.
Captcha sucks, but work is underway to make it more human
Part of Google's reCAPTCHA test has been fooled by reinforcement learning β but the latest version of the system hasn't been fully hacked ye
hm i wonder what my research project is about. couldn't possibly guess
a lot of random doodles and storyboard stuff for a group project i'm working on, ft some art by one of my classmates as well lol
have some random art; my topic was the difference between humans and robots and how in the future the line will become harder and harder to distinguish, but honestly i had the most fun just drawing wires spilling out of someone's back (and also I drew Melatron with hot chocolate)

we had to pitch our idea to a specific target audience, mine was highschoolers. And not actual highschoolers-- no no, my classmates pretending to be first years. Yeah. I think you can imagine about how well that went down. Anyway, here are the notes they left me, for future reference i guess
The Next Big Project:TM:
woot woot have a text post because i need to process in words YAY
I'm still not done writing all the reflections of the excursion week, i hope to do that... soon... i guess. but in the meantime, i've needed to start thinking about topics for this term's β¨ big project β¨. I have a ton of ideas and interesting concepts, but I have three that might actually be worth working with. So without further ado, here goes:
3: different perspectives on the future of society
One of the talks at Evaluon was about how the stereotype of the future is heavily based on those in power, which I interpreted as Western media and majorities. I thought it would be interesting to envision a utopian future from a completely different perspective, such as African or South American culture.
2: mankind's tendency to anthropomorphize (applied specifically to technology)
People love to project feelings onto inanimate objects. They speak soothingly to their laptops, curse at obstinate printers, and fall in love with tiny thoughtless roombas. But what will happen when those machines become more and more human in appearance? Will humanity's tendency to anthropomorphize machines lead them to treat robots as equals, to love androids as much as humans? Will humans be able to build their perfect partner and love them just as much as they would another human? Would robot-human marriages be legalized, or would it be considered a "waste" of love, or unethical?
1. Pseudosentience (do robots have feelings?)
AI is becoming more and more advanced, but what happens when it reaches a stage where a robot can pass fully as human? When androids look, act and feel just like another human being, what will that mean for society? If they can think, reason and interact just like human beings do, can we consider them sentient? Or is the fact that their basis lies in code enough reason to dismiss them as a lesser species, and factually enslave them to our wills?
Day 1 (Part 1) || Evaluon
The excursion week started off great, because it started off with robots. Naturally, that gives any museum the benefit of the doubt, and Evaluon did not disappoint. Even just walking into the lobby made me excited, because they had these huge black and white portraits circling the top of the wall; each of them an individual who had a particular vision of the future, from Leonardo Da Vinci to Greta Thunberg and more. My personal favourite was, of course, Isaac Asimov (author of I, Robot and The Bicentennial Man, among other amazing works) and the fact that he was included filled me with hope. (I'm not much of a museum person, but if my favourite robot author is there, it's gotta be good, right?) Tragically I didn't see much of him in the expositions, but it definitely set the tone for the sort of things that were on display.
