Dirk: “Good morning, Auto Responder.”

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?”

Hal: "Isn’t the capacity to be a dick the truest proof of personhood?”

I envy those people who don't understand russian. You are so damn lucky that you can't understand all the vile shit that russians write on the internet, because no translation, no matter how accurate, can describe the absolute filth that they say.

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?

I don't care if it's paid trolls, these are still living people writing it...

Real scientists would keep putting an orange in the same spot to make sure the results are consistent before moving on to other fruits or different spots.

The only valid response to this post.

We’re working up the complexity levels of fruit until we feel there is enough evidence to support the judicious placement of a volunteer twink

You sit down, we haven’t seen what’s happened to the pineapple

It's really hard to explain what I mean but yknow that moment in the show where the protagonist realises who is pulling all the strings and it all clicks into place. But it implicates their companion in the process? And they turn around to tell their companion about their revelation and the shot changes and you can just see the companion is already 5 steps ahead of them. They're got this knowing look and a smarmy smile on their face. And before the protagonist even gets to speak they have a silent moment of "we both know what we know." LITERALLY MY FAVOURITE TYPE OF VILLAIN REVEAL.
