Turing failed to consider whether a human thinking a machine is sentient might actually be a sign that the human isn't intelligent rather than the machine being intelligent.

There's a pretty great Tumblr post about this:

Reminds me of Stanislaw Lem's "The Washing Machine Tragedy". Part V in the book downloadable here: dokumen.pub/qdownload/me...

I called it when he was still on Twitter but not BlueSky.

Through the darkness of future's past,
The magician longs to see.
One chants out between two worlds...
"Fire... walk with me, Charlie Brown"

It's spelled BRAM Stoker. Guess how I know? Bonus: who was I named after?

Is "abolish ICE" in the same category? I don't believe in giving up ground like that. I believe in fighting for it. Democrats are scorned because they don't fight for what they believe in. They follow polls and which way the wind is blowing.

It's not just a slogan. It's a simple desire for the police to have less funding. I'm not satisfied by police reform. The very least politicians can do is not to demonize the slogan. Want a big tent? Be ok with "defund the police"

I find that surprising. So many people at the George Floyd protests. de Blasio elected and the police pushed so hard against him. People are hungry for them to face consequences. Copganda and police unions fight so hard because minorities, city-dwellers know they're the problem

One phrase I've been trying to make popular is calling out politicians who are "soft on police". It's a reframing.
