Agreed! Yesterday's binaries are tomorrow's horizons...😎 There's a classic book by @elizwilsonemory.bsky.social called Affect and Artificial Intelligence that has lots to say about it in a wonderfully unexpected and (I think) profound way.

Hmmm... I'm not sure if the TTest (or that essay) tells us about computers as much as it does about the project of social robots (including the chatbots lay-ppl experience as AI). I love that paper by Turing. It definitely says lots about what he thinks of people (spoiler: not much).

Don't know if he is responsible for this image, but I do know that Paul Byers did lots of photography of the Macy group (see the awesome images in Byers' and Margaret Mead's book "The Small Conference: An Innovation in Communication").

... basically reproducing the Popperian bias that led psychology as a discipline to abandon qualitative and observational work and commit to controlled lab experiments in the 1950s and beyond, to (in my opinion) its great detriment)

(That said, psychology tends to be the low-hanging fruit discipline in this debate, and has been a favorite for the so-called "hard" sciences to dismiss as itself unscientific...

I feel like there is a good deal of this in the history of psychology, eg in autism research as described in this chapter by Ilona Roth oro.open.ac.uk/59798/3/5979...

I guess I don't understand the impulse here -- why post (of all things) STS classics as an anonymous and (possibly?) automated bot, as opposed to an identifiable human with an actual interest in the text being referenced?

Is this a joke? I am very much hoping this is a shitty joke, rather than our new shitty reality.

Not my area exactly but I did briefly dip into the Wilder Penfield archives at the Montreal Neurological Institute/Ostler Library pre covid. Penfield famously mapped the sensory cortex by stimulating brains of conscious epileptic patients who reported their sensations. What are you working on?
