long term truths
Click to viewI particularly like the line on the AI, "Compassion" being the defining human factor. It surprises me that I feel it's still a good marker of AI being sentient. (This thought comes from watching Ex-Machina recently).
The one that always sticks with me and started the vid search is, "The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play."
Not that I am arguing that my mind is particularly complex but this drudgery is getting to me and I want to play.
I think I've written on here about how I started a Computer Science course recently. It's been tough going. Initially I thought Maths was a language I didn't have. Numbers were the words of my cohort, to be manipulated on a casual whim to achieve sentences of meaning. I now realise programming is another language, another tool I don't have. The people around me manipulate lines of codes and numbers with the same proficiency and fluency that I manipulate my words with and I know that learning my words took me a lifetime, a lifetime of needing to express. And this frustrates, saddens, worries and annoys me. If I do not have the tools how will I achieve anything.
L(me) =! maths or programming :(
